Peace towards Iran
Salafi Arabia and Iran are really
moving towards peace.
It is a shame that the United States did not help achieve this, and
that it instead boosts China's influence. China will surely use that
influence to maintain hell on Earth. But we can't blame China for
boosting its influence by doing something good for once.
If Salafi Arabia can reconcile with Iran, is there a chance that the
US can do so?
Iran's government is repressive, generally in the name of its repressive
version of Islam. The repression targets women
in particular,
but also targets everyone's religious freedom,
including non-Muslims and any
Muslims that want to convert
to some other religious camp. But the US has no influence to change
this. General nastiness towards Iran will not help.
The main real complication is about renewing the non-nuclear deal that
the saboteur in chief canceled. If there is any chance to do this,
the US must try its best. However, it must emphasize the positive side
more than the negative side.
My approval of reconciliation between Salafi Arabia and Iran does not
mean I condemn those governments any less than before. They are
despicable and I wish they were both overthrown (though the US should
not try to overthrow them). But that doesn't alter the fact that the
world is better off if they are not fighting each other.

Homeless crackdown, San Diego
San Diego has
escalated the war on homeless
people by arresting people caught sleeping outside. However, the city
offers them no alternative. Evidently this is an excuse for harshness against a scapegoat.

Afghan scholars in UK squeezed
Afghans studying in UK universities
face the threat
of being deported to Afghanistan, where the Taliban will surely find
reasons to consider them enemies.

Sarasota, FL college seized, restructured
Governor Dismantle put people in charge of Florida's New College to
chop down all its principles and rules to
bury them in an anti-woke box.
Many of the faculty have already left.
I would guess that most of the faculty, and most of the students, will
not return next year, and the college may be unable to continue
operating at all except as an empty shell. But I think DeMentis will
call that success.

Manchin traitorous
Senator Manchin has announced an "unrelenting fight" against
the survival of
world civilization and non-rich Americans.
He has already announced that he may leave the Democratic Party.
This did not surprise me, since his views are in the range of the
Republican Party.
In November 2022, we rejoiced that the Democrats had picked up a seat
in the Senate and had clear control of it. But that was a mirage.
The other fake Democrat, Sinema, has already left the Democratic Party.
We have succeeded in exposing Republican sleeper agents, but with their
exposure, the Republicans will effectively control the Senate through 2024.

Abortion pill: new restrictions
The 5th circuit court of appeals ruled to put
an end to easy access
to mifepristone and thus the means to have a medicated abortion.
The 5 circuit includes Louisiana, Mississippi and part of Texas. The
senators from those states are Republican, and due to the Senate's
rule that judges appointed to that court must have the approval of
at least one senator from those states,
the judges on that court are right-wing extremists.
Therefore, right-wing extremists generally use those states to file
their cases.
I hope that
abortion rights activists
continue to be able to obtain mifepristone pills and mail them to
women who need them. But it may now be more difficult to do this.
