The US under Trump now poses the greatest danger to the world.

 

Since Benjamin Netanyahu is the only guy that Donald Trump listens to now, someone needs to convince Netanyahu to stop the war against Iran. Netanyahu urged Trump to start this war and he can get him to stop it. Netanyahu had urged the war to protect himself from prosecution. Time now for Netanyahu to come clean and make amends, as too many people are getting killed. It's a long story, but that's basically what has happened.



Let's offer Netanyahu perpetual immunity from prosecution, or whatever else he asks in exchange for stopping the war. Yes, Bibi is a liar and a crook. He has been facing prosecution. He has deferred that by goading poor befuddled Donald Trump into attacking Iran, so now Israel has become a pariah state as a result. This is not anti-Semitism, due rather to the deliberate criminal actions of just one person: Benjamin Netanyahu, who cunningly took advantage of Trump's rapid mental decline to try to get himself off the hook. But now Israel's international reputation has started sinking fast. And the contradiction between Israel being a Jewish state and also a democracy has been more starkly revealed. Save Iran, save Israel. 

The Guardian: As of March 2026, California Governor Gavin Newsom has shifted to a more critical stance on Israel, recently comparing its treatment of Palestinians to an "apartheid state" and questioning continued U.S. military support. While previously a staunch supporter who visited shortly after the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks, he now heavily criticizes Prime Minister Netanyahu's leadership.

California Goveror Gavin Newsom has correctly identified the problem in my opinion. If he runs for president next time, he has my vote. 


Amnesty International has now issued an urgent action against Israel:

Iran Prez Vows To Stop Attacking Neighbors — But Says Trump Admin Can Take ‘Dreams’ Of Surrender ‘To Their Grave’


Iran's reputation has grown as quite a brave country standing up to an unprovoked attack that had assassinated their Supreme Leader, while Israel and the US face international approbrium.

Reports Claim U.S. Was Likely Responsible for Deadly Strike on Iranian Girls’ School as White House Says Investigation Is Ongoing

The attack was launched just two days before first lady Melania Trump had said she hoped for “peace” for all children.






Funerals were being held, including for some of the 165 school girls killed in US attacks.


These bombs are intended to kill Iranians. 


Our fellow humans of all ages living in Iran are being killed by American bombardments under the direction of a very befuddled Donald Trump and a very canny Israeli leader, Benjamin Netanyahu. There is no good reason for launching this aggression against Iran nor has the US Congress approved it as is required by law.

FOX, Stephen Miller: The US military is not fighting 'politically correct'


— Miller says Trump 'unleashed' military from 'woke Pentagon' constraints after years of political correctness. 

Now the US  military can go all-out on killing people.


Reuters, Trump to forge ahead with immigration crackdown driven by top aide Stephen Miller
And Mr. Miller is also keeping busy trying to deport even more immigrants. (He doesn't realize that they've come here because we really need them.) 
He is apparently trying to impress Trump into keeping him on while firing or demoting several other operatives. 


Since Donald Trump considers himself a king with unlimited powers, he isn't concerned about laws or rules or world opinion--or about rulings by other government officials or courts, or even about the protection of US citizens. Instead, he just makes decisions for the entire world or for our country following directives given him by guys like his buddies Netanyahu and Stephen Miller (and Miller is trying desperately to keep his job after other recent firings or demotions). After issuing orders, then Trump leaves it up to his designated helpers and other underlings to see that the orders are carried out, allowing him to resume his daily snoozes. Or has he just been resting his eyes?

NY Times, I’ve Never Been a Patriot, but Spain Standing Up to Trump Has Made Me One

(The writer of the article mentioned above actually speaks Catalán, one of Spain's minority languages, and, as such, has sometimes been part of a minority seeking independence from Spain) 

Catal
án is a language much like Spanish. When I was in Spain, I just spoke Spanish with Catalán speakers and we mostly understood each other. 

Hours after Donald Trump called Spain "terrible," he threatened to cut off trade with Spain over its government’s refusal to allow two jointly operated bases in Andalucía to be used to strike Iran. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez then declared. "Nosotros decimos NO a la guerra en Irán." (We say NO to war in Iran.) Actually the US has a trade surplus with Spain, so cutting off trade is not such a big threat. Sánchez had not been particularly popular, but his popularity has now gone up quite a few notches.
