My Girl, Fred Whitfield Calls Out Joe Manchin

 

Today on CNN my girl, Fred Whitfield called out Joe Manchin with the guests on her show explaining exactly what was happening with his reluctance to support the bills of President Biden and the other Democrats.

Guests Reverend Dr. William J. Barber and Economist Jeffrey Sachs went on to detail that Joe Manchin is very rich personally and his donors are more wealthy.  

They do not want their taxes to be increased at any cost even if it helps support the lower income people of his state of West Virginia.

West Virginia, represented by Joe Manchin in the Senate, is one of the poorest states in the country.

It is time for Joe Manchin to be called out and his reasons for not supporting the bills of the Dems should be explained in terms that everyone can understand.

They detailed that all of the other forward leading countries already have most of these benefits and we are one of the few leading nations that do not support their citizens in this way, such as childcare, healthcare and more specifically hearing aids.

Fred and her guests did a good job today and it seems unusual for CNN to be so specific but it really is about time.

Joe Manchin is rich but the folks he represents are poor.  

Here is an article by Eric Douglas from West Virginia Public Broadcasting that does a good job of explaining the situation:

Watching Fred forever and she is one of the best of CNN.

Well done Fredricka Whitfield.

 Try to hire Brian Williams.

I watch CNN every day but one of my other favorite shows I try never to miss is 11th hour with Brian Williams. 

 As one person said the other evening he has humor and intellect. CNN is definitely the best and the go to for important news and internationals news but he would be a fabulous replacement for Chris Cuomo. He was no longer newsworthy with his close affiliation to his brother. I also love Fred Whitfield--been watching her forever and of course, Wolf and MartinSavidge. I also enjoy and admire Gloria B. and Jamie G. Laura Coates is very good and should have her own show, too. Thank you for your time--just my thoughts from a loyal viewer.

For adoption

The beautiful cat "Star" has become in excellent health, looking for a safe house and a loving family

"Star" blind cat, victim of neglect and exploitation that occurs during animal trade.. She was received by the Hot Fit Center @hot_vet a very squalid, very slender state and her bones are visible, with rough hair as a result of dehydration, malnutrition and worm injury.

After nearly two months of follow-up and care, Najma began to recover and gain significant weight.

Hotvet sterilized the cat and gave it doses to prevent internal parasites (worms)

The cat is very nice and friendly and exercises her life normally.

For those who like to adopt the cat "Star" please contact us frequency

Raising an animal with a special need is very wonderful and its wages are great for God

Many thanks for @hot_vet

It’s cold out there. Please be kind to opossums #SeattleWildlife

#SeattleWildlife

It’s cold out there. Please be kind to opossums. Many of them find a cozy place to combat the cold. (So many are missing parts of tails, ears, toes, due to previous frost bite) and your garage or porch may be the only place they have. They won’t hurt anything, I promise. And shooing them out may be certain death due to lack of shelter. They are Northern America’s ONLY marsupial. **These precious souls eat fleas, ticks, and other pests.**❤️

Please, this holiday season be kind to these wonderful animals. 🎄🐾❤️ P.S. I LOVE her cute toes! P.S.S. I am not the author of these words nor the photographer, but I am grateful for the wonderful human who shared this on Facebook.

The US government must speak out against settler violence--from J Street

 

My son Mattan is living proof that a more just and equal society is possible. It was our family’s landmark case in the Israeli High Court over twenty years ago that helped bring about the official recognition of equal rights for LGBT+ parents in Israel. It was a proud moment for my family, for our community, and for Israel. Fast forward to last week, when Mattan was arrested in the occupied West Bank by Israeli police. He and other Jewish Israeli peace advocates have been staying near the West Bank town of a-Tuwani to learn Arabic and help document and deter a dangerous spike in settler attacks this year. Gangs from nearby settlements have been trying to harass and intimidate Palestinians off their land by burning farmland, slaughtering livestock, vandalizing property, throwing rocks and firing weapons into towns. Ongoing attacks this year have left several dead, dozens injured and one child in the hospital after a rock fractured his skull. The IDF -- tasked only with protecting Israeli citizens (but not with protecting vulnerable Palestinian civilians) -- has too often stood idly by, acted as security guards for the attackers, or even turned on peace activists to prevent them from filming the violence. Since West Bank Palestinians aren’t citizens, Israeli authorities almost never bother to charge settlers or hold anyone accountable for the attacks. The US government must speak out against settler violence Add your name if you agree  Last week, my son and his colleagues were abruptly arrested after witnessing an altercation between a settler and local Palestinians. They faced excessive, trumped-up charges which were dropped entirely a day later, but the message sent by these arrests and recent IDF raids on Israeli and Palestinian activists is clear: Stop speaking out about the occupation and settler violence. Stop making noise. Stop pointing cameras at the injustice that’s happening here. “I don’t know if they realize this, but it just makes us more determined to stay and fight back,” Mattan told me. “We’re not going to be intimidated; we know our rights; we know what we believe in and we know the people that we’re fighting with.” That’s where we come in. Israeli and Palestinian peace activists are on the frontlines fighting for a better future, and we have to have their backs. Just this week -- following both public and behind-the-scenes pressure from the Biden administration, as well as internal pressure from progressives within the Israeli government -- Israeli authorities significantly delayed plans for a major new settlement between East Jerusalem and Ramallah. It shows that when the US government acts with determination and clarity, it can have a major positive impact. Now, we must call on the Biden administration to build on this progress and press for Israeli authorities to confront settler violence, to hold perpetrators of violence accountable no matter their citizenship, and to uphold the principles of justice and equality for both Israelis and Palestinians. The US government must speak out against settler violence Add your name if you agree   It might not be the usual response after having your son released from jail, but let me tell you: I’ve never been prouder. It makes me swell with pride to see him continue the fight for equality, dignity and the basic rights of all families to live freely and raise their children in peace. I hope it’s also a reminder to those of us in America that we are not alone in this struggle, and we cannot give up. There are brave and determined people on the ground working every day to build a better future. As Israel’s strongest partner and closest friend, America has to have their backs. Please take a moment to add your name and call on the Biden administration to make addressing settler violence a priority in the US-Israel relationship. Thank you, sincerely, for your support. Ruti Kadish National Director of Communal Relations, J Street

Cenk FLIPS OUT At Bill Maher On CNN--Bill Maher is a big jerk!

Came to the conclusion a long time ago Bill Maher is really only interested in himself.

On Larry King he said he was for Wesley Clark, running for president at the time.

I particularly noticed this statement because I admired him also and thought he had some good ideas about the war.

Later, when Bill was on Larry King again, Larry made a reference to Bill being for Wesley Clark--this was when Wesley Clark had fallen out of favor. Beill completely denied he ever said it.

Larry had to immediately drop it because Bill was so clever and Larry could not really call him a liar right on the chat show.

Also, Bill is a gifted comedian.

Did he really have to call Sarah Palin the C word.

What was the point of that. Was it about politics or was it about just promoting himself.

Even though I do not agree with Sarah Palin's politics she and other women have the right to speak.

She is not a comedian but a politician. What was her response supposed to be to that horrible statement.

He goes too far and he lies and he uses other people for his own promotion and acts like a know-it-all as is suggested in this vid.

I really do not have time for him one bit.

The Huff Post was so in love with him if one ever wrote a negative response about what he said it was deleted.

He comes off sounding like a big educated news guy but really he is a big jerk.

Thanks to TheYoung Turks for calling him out.

CNN and the others should do the same.

Annual Report of the Animal and Environment Association ❤️ التقرير السنوي

 

Annual Report of the Animal and Environment Association  التقرير السنوي

الترجمة بالأسفل...

The developments at the Animal and Environment Association since its establishment, and the sequential, concrete stumps of saving one case after another, and from one activity to the next, is what has enabled the Association to achieve a place in the hearts of all living beings.

With efforts by the team of volunteers, the Association is making great progress from the ground up regarding animal welfare, by emphasizing the community’s involvement as well as local authorities. This is through the Association’s intervention in matters of animal abuse and ensuring that all animals’ rights are guaranteed, and through meetings with local municipalities to minimize the matter of stray dogs. One successful meeting was held with the Ramallah Municipal House, where the Association persuaded them to adopt the ‘Trap, Neuter, Spay, and Release (TNSR)’ project. The Municipality is currently preparing for this project. The Association also works with local communities with great effort; we are faced with the challenge of some individuals trying to sabotage our work in saving animals’ lives. We also face challenges with some local organizations that aim to destroy what we have tried so hard to establish. Nevertheless, it will not be the case if we come together to work for one just cause: animal welfare.

Based on the spirit of encouragement, compassion, and justice for all, the Association has witnessed more support than ever before from committed individuals volunteering to save the lives of animals from abuse and neglect. It is because of them the Association has been able to achieve its goals, and are proud to say that we have saved over 500 stray dogs and 300 stray cats just this year alone. 10 dogs have travelled to a better life in other countries. At our small-scale animal shelter, 70 dogs and 35 cats live in peace awaiting their furever homes. This excludes the very large number of cases rescued and fostered in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially those whose owners had abandoned. Yet, we were able to provide safe houses for them and provide treatment for those in need.

We now have the pleasure of presenting you with the Animal and Environment Association/Bethlehem Shelter’s annual report. This is the outcome of many of the efforts, achievements, and activities undertaken by the Association to achieve its mission and objectives. In so doing, we are pleased to express our deep appreciation to those veterinarians who spare no effort in helping us care for the most vulnerable beings, and to our dear volunteers for their continued support.

Together, we will continue ours, and your efforts, until a new era reigns upon us, an era where no puppy or kitten is born without their mothers next to them, nurturing them, a safe place to grow up in, and people to answer to their cries when in pain.

Attached: Video of some of the rescues made by us.

With greetings from the Association’s administration/Diana Babish.

إن التطورات التي شهدتها جمعية الحيوان والبيئة منذ نشأتها، والوثبات المتتالية الملموسة من أنقاذ حالة تلو أخرى، ومن نشاط تلو أخر، هو ما مكنها من تحقيق مكانتها في قلوب الكائنات الحية كلها.

و مع جهود فريق المتطوعين، فإن الجمعية تحقق تقدما فعالا من الألف إلى الياء بخصوص قضايا الحيوانات وبتركيز قوي على إشراك المجتمع والسلطات المحلية ويتمثل ذلك بتدخل الجمعية في قضايا تعذيب الحيوانات وضمان ان يحصل الحيوان على حقه و بالاجتماع مع البلديات المحلية لوضع حل لمشكلة الكلاب الضالة، وكان احدى هذه الاجتماعات الاجتماع الناجح مع دار بلدية رام الله حيث قامت الجمعية بأقناعهم بتبني مشروع الاخصاء والتعقيم والبلدية الان تستعد لاجراء هذا المشروع،

ومن الجدير بالذكر اننا في هذه الفترة نواجه تحديًا كبيرًا مع بعض الأشخاص في محاولة لتخريب عملنا في إنقاذ الحيوانات، وايضا من بعض الجهات المسؤولة التي تهدف الى هدم ما وصلنا اليه، ولكن بالطبع لن يكون بهذه البساطة عندما نكون مجتمعين سويًا لتحقيق العدالة التي نصبو لها،

و استنادا إلى روح التشجيع والرحمة للجميع، شهدت الجمعية زيادة اكثر من أي وقت مضى في الدعم بهيئة جنود مجهولين من المتطوعين الملتزمين والمهرة على، حيث تواجدهم معنا جعل من تحقيق الاهداف بعيدة المدى أسهل ونفخر بأن نقول اننا انقذنا هذا العام ما يزيد عن 500 كلب ضال، وما يزيد عن 300 قطة، وتم إرسال عشرة كلاب للحصول على حياة أفضل في دولة أخرى. وفي ملجأنا الصغير يعيشُ 70 كلب و 35 قطة...هذا غير عن عدد الحالات الكبير جدًا التي تم إنقاذها واستضافتها في عام 2020 أثناء جائحة كورونا خاصة التي تخلى عنها أصحابها واستطعنا توفير بيوت آمنة لها وعلاج المصاب منها.

وبهذا إذ يطيب لنا تقديم التقرير السنوي لجمعية الحيوان والبيئة/ ملجأ بيت لحم، وهو حصيلة العديد من الجهود والإنجازات والنشاطات التي قامت بها الجمعية لتحقيق رسالتها وأهدافها، وبذلك يسرننا أن نعرب عن عميق شكرنا وتقديرنا للأطباء البياطرة الذين لا يدخرون جهدا في مساعدتنا، وللمتطوعين الاعزاء على دعمهم المستمر.

وسوف نستمر سويًا بجهودنا وجهودك الى حين إحلال عهد جديد، عهد لا يوجد فيه جرو واحد أو قطة صغيرة تولد دون توفر غذاء لإطعامها، سطح لإيوائها، أو أحد ليجيب نداءها حين تعاني. مرفق: فيديو يتخلله بعض عمليات الإنقاذ التي تمت بواسطتنا.

مع تحيات إدارة الجمعية/ديانا جورج بعبيش.
