I want to lend strong support to the Navy's Budget Request upcoming for 2 very crucial reasons:
1. The Navy must take the lead in field battle operations in the future. Proposing 2 up-to-date aircraft carriers be constructed to add to the fleet is to my mind a critical step in US military defensive posture. Navy personnel can now lead in securing areas on land.
2. The waterways are a major advantage in military strategy. Particularly, moving troops and supplies under the water is the way to go! The experience of the Navy Seals over the years proves we must utilize the water in ways heretofore were conceived primarily the province of the Army.
The Navy has also included an increase in under vessels in its budget request.
Well, that's the way I see it from the research I've reviewed.

A reminder! Happiness can be truly experienced in Scandinavia!
I hear that in some wealthy towns in Sweden and Norway, the downtown "main street" is heated under the sidewalks! If nothing else could give the citizens of such towns true feelings of happiness, I don't think there could exist such a euphoric state of mind in mankind!
They've got the best in healthcare, so it is claimed, and they've got public interest in each citizen's welfare.
....Just a reminder that happiness is known to exist in the state of mind of Scandinavians! One doesn't have to return to Aristotle's Athens!!

Parkistanis won't give up on Kashmir
For many lo years now, I've supported Pakistan's claim to Kashmir. The people are Muslim for the most part; the Kashmir Valley is rich and arable. And I've always felt that India's claim to the land was backed up by the Western non-Muslim block.
Anyway, I've still not changed my opinion that the Muslims are entitled to the valuable Valley land.
I'm glad to see that Pakistan isn't giving up either! When I talk to Indian officials, they are fond in claiming the Muslims of that area actually want to be ruled by India. Sure, and they wouldn't mind if their mosques in Kashmir refrained from announcing their proud Muslim heritage during the daytime hours!

Some Congressmen want US to stop supporting the Saudis in Yemen
Dare Congress question our support and weaponry for the Saudi backing of the Yemen government in a religious war pitting the Sunnais and the Chia'a?
Nevertheless, today, proposals to stop the US backing of the Sunnais are circulating in its halls. Hooray, there's hope yet. Instead, there out to be a proposal wherein the US gets both sides together in a peace conference calling for Muslim unity.

President Trump amasses US relief for starving Venezuelans; but nobody with religious valor will take into the country
Where's the Baptists who supported Trump's election? Why are they standing for the moral thing to do in getting needed aid and assistance into Venezuela to the people there in need? EU has amassed relief,too yet no one dares to deliver it into the disparate country. Will no one act to save lives of the Venezuelans?
It is said the generals currently supporting the President who refuses entry for humanitarian purposes might even change their minds or look the other way to permit convoys of relief into the country. This is a moment of moral significance, but all countries who would help are scared of Venezuelan troops, who are amassed to prevent entry onto their soil.
Has the whole world of men and women of good will become so inured to the barbs and threats of degenerate leaders so no longer to act from conscience and from their hearts?
Please let the bells of freedom ring once again to revive the spirit of human compassion for those in dire need! Don't listen to the devil of your minds, crying let them die. We can plough threw the barriers, with God's help and Justice.

Water alerts becoming serious!
Recently, the BBC is reporting that the table levels of water below cities around the world are falling, causing havoc with pipes and surface roads and streets.
Add to reports of this phenomenon, are a host of concerns about the quality of water available for drinking and bathing. It seems nearly critical for India to coddle the cows--allowing waste and pollution of the Ganges and other waters in which people swim and wash themselves yet also into which they defecate regularly. The cow should not be thought of as any sacrosanct being to do as according to its nature without constraint.
But around the world, water is can be a breeding ground for diseases that humans suffer from. It is shameful that the people of Bangladesh must live in areas of disease-infested waters. Certainly, they should be re-settled where water is clear of malaria-carrying bugs! And how about the drinking water in certain Michigan cities that fails tests administered to certify their maintenance of the standard for human consumption?
In Jamaica, I noted a few years back that sewer water was carried for miles via open pipes; and the BBC pointed out that in California, the water viaducts are sometimes flowing back rather than carrying the water to its desired locations for crop production.
Add to this amalgam of data about the condition of water that threatens our very existence is the fact of climate change, contributing to the rise of water above the ground in such cities as Miami and perhaps even London.

President's Trump Chance at Greatness
I believe President Trump has undertaken a presidential function that could win him a place in history!
He's a maverick as Presidents go. And, he's taken on a real problem plaguing the US since the conclusion of WWII. Eisenhower drew attention to the issue in his farewell address to the nation. He referred to as an unholy alliance of big business and the federal government, viz., the industrial-military complex.
It took till Trump for a President to challenge the existence of this alliance by positing his doctrine of "US first." According to it, if there's no benefit to the US, any proposed project for the country to undertake must yield good results within a set period of time, given the promised governmental resources of the nation dedicated to it.
This doctrine, I think, has been appropriately applied to the continuing war in Afghanistan,which the US is attempting to scale down its involvement to a standard offer of providing assistance for training and consultation to governments facing some immediate crisis.
