US/Israeli shenanigans

When a country becomes so powerful that it can create laws that make its illegal past actions legal, then explain how you deal diplomatically with a nation like that? The US and Israel are acting as if they are the arbiter's of everything legal in the world now just because they can nuke, or destroy, any country they want to. Israel is doing to its neighbors almost exactly what the US has done in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and how many other's I don't know. It seems to be beneath the Israeli government to call the people of Palestine/Gaza even human beings, let alone to understand that the humanity of the Palestinian's is no less their own. What Israel is doing in Palestine/Gaza can only be motivated by hatred and fear. They are not rational motivations for a nation with so much weaponry and nuclear power. It reminds me of a madman with an assault rifle. No telling what might happen next, anywhere...anytime!

Gerrymandering!

Gerrymandering is just another tool that the powerful and wealthy, who control our House and Senate, use to get between the American voters and their voted choices. It works just like the Electoral College in that at a crucial time and place it allows the hidden arms of wealth and power another shot at gaining more control, another shot at getting their preferred and purchased crony elected. Politician's use it, when they can, to beat the system we, the people, have set up to keep the criminal element in check during our important elections. The system we set up to protect us from this criminal element has failed. The wealthy and powerful now use our powerful government to protect them from their illegal activities just like the powerful police have co-opted the courts and the Grand Jury system that would try them for their wrong doings. It only works for them now!
