How dogs became our best friends,




A female wolf lives in the forest with her cubs, feeding and protecting them, but she can become quite fierce if they appear threatened. 

From domesticated wolves, came pet dogs now bonding with humans and defending us daily. Our dog Willow is ready to attack anyone she considers is threatening us. So we often have to calm her down and reassure her when someone new comes into the house, as happened recently when Teisha brought me home after our recent visit to Florida.   

Our dog Willow looks innocent enough, but has very sharp teeth..

US federal authorities are investigating what appears to be a massive etching of "8647" into the grass of the National Mall.

The term "86" is commonly used as slang meaning to remove, reject, or get rid of something. The number "47" is often used as a reference to President Donald Trump, the 47th president of the United States.

Manyy of us would certainly like to get rid of Trump, but only by peaceful means.

Why did Dwight Eisenhower dislike the Peace Corps?


John Coyne



President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s opposition to the Peace Corps was rooted in a combination of his political philosophy, skepticism regarding the efficacy of sending inexperienced volunteers abroad, and the intense partisan climate of the 1960 presidential campaign.

Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safiya appears at Israeli Supreme Court hearing


His case was mentioned on the recent blog posting entitled What's in a word? Here he was before his arrest by Israeli authorities. 


Recently the doctor appeared very emaciated at an Iraeli court hearing. He is now being held in solitary confinement. His case has been taken up by Amnesty International, which has just issued this message:

Dr. Abu Safiya has been moved to solitary confinement. "Israel transfers Gaza doctor to solitary confinement: Israeli authorities transferred detained Gaza doctor Hussam Abu Safiya to solitary confinement at Nafha Prison on June 3 following his legal team’s challenge to an extension of his detention, with his lawyer describing the move as punitive and saying it has left Abu Safiya without necessary medical treatment. Healthcare Workers Watch reports that at least 83 Palestinian healthcare workers are currently held by Israel, including 75 from Gaza." https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/israel-lebanon-hussam-abu-safiyah-gaza-trump-cuba


Increasingly, Israel has been accused of committing human rights abuses, no longer being considered the victim but the perpetrator in the war that has engulfed the region. Trump has been slavishly following Netanyahu's directions without any questions asked. A very gullible Donald Trump attacked Iran in secret without provocation, as was urged by Netanyahu in order to delay his own corruption trial, thus keeping him in office indefinitely.
