Over the weekend, Politico published the latest in a tidal wave of stories about President Biden’s dwindling prospects for re-election. Under the headline “The Polls Keep Getting Worse for Biden,” the article pointed out that Biden is trailing the presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump in a large majority of the latest polling.
The trend is dire, Politico reports. “The president’s standing in head-to-head matchups with Trump is falling: Among the latest surveys this month from 13 separate pollsters, Biden’s position is worse than their previous polls in all but two of them.” He continues to slip in key swing states.
But the victim we are told is the villain
Many a death certificate written before birth certificate
Yet, rotten governments western and arab procrastinate
No point to count the thousands rotting under the rubble
For no one has tools or equipment to go to the trouble
No counting of "unknowns" burried in mass graves
For there are still living injured after each of the shockwaves
The 27,000 living dead are injured many cannot be treated
For hospitals were bombed, medicine denied, and they can't even be shielded
Hungry and thirsty they envy the dead
Children merely want to die having last meal fed
Or go to heaven where they can play
They hate the counting and feebly pray
To live to tell a story, realize dreams, maybe safety arrive
silence the bombs and keep hope alive
Tears stop
If Robert F. Kennedy Jr. follows through on his apparent plans to run for president in the fall 2024 general election, that will make it all the more important for progressives to have a clear understanding of who Kennedy is and what he really stands for.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., son/nephew of a political dynasty and current candidate for president
running in the Democratic Party primaries, is widely portrayed by the corporate press as a kooky
conspiracy theorist. But he has scored as high as 20% in the polls. Is Bobby Jr. being accurately
represented or a serious competitor to Joe Biden for the Democrats’ nomination, who is being
maligned and misrepresented? To find out for myself, I attended a press conference/campaign
rally for the presidential contender on August 3 at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog added nothing of great value in his speech at the United States Congress on July 19.
His was the typical language. He spoke of a ‘sacred bond’, touted the shared experience between both nations as “unique in scope and quality”, and celebrated the great, common “values that reach across generations”.
But this theatrical language was meant to hide an uncomfortable truth: the relationship between Israel and the US is changing at a fundamental level.
We plunge into the radioactive horror show in Ukraine for our 144th Green Grassroots Election Protection Zoom being rebroadcast during the Solartopia Green Power & Wellness Show on PRN.
We are joined by the great MEDEA BENJAMIN of Code Pink who makes the plea for peace and an end to the horrific planet-threatening slaughter in Ukraine.
We hear further from DENYS BONDAR, who is now circulating a petition to the United Nations General Assembly to sent peacekeepers to guarantee a demilitarized zone around the six atomic reactors at Zaporizhzhia.
These reactors are in various stages of shut-down. But the nearby spent fuel pools are in danger of losing their coolant.
Exposure of the rods stored therein could result in radioactive fires releasing enough lethal fallout to kill millions of humans an other living things in an apocalyptic event that would dwarf the killing power of Hiroshima/Nagasaki, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima and all other catastrophic events in human history.

Robert Kennedy Jr.s quote on the vaccine issue is this. “I am not and have never been anti-vaccine. I’ve always said that I’m for safe vaccines and robust science and for regulatory agencies that are free from conflicts of interest and financial entanglements with the pharmaceutical industry.”
The relentless attacks on Robert F. Kennedy from legacy media go beyond his views on vaccines, but vaccinations are home based for the attacks. Kennedy is attacking the vaccine cartel and has been effectively branded. Fortunately Bill Maher, Joe Rogan and many others have given him a voice.
