News + Politics
We the people, by the people.
Dear Theresa
You may have heard of me or you may not have, but I don't have any qualifications of any sort of politics. I do have to say that I know for certain you need to quit whilst you're ahead, because at the end of the day I know I'm watching every move you make and then BOOM! I'm on the good old iPad with blogs coming out left right and centre; ideas here and there, oh what's that? You've been thrown into the mix as well; into my magic cauldron of horrible politicians who can't get their facts right, or keep their word, changing what they want during the election in the Queen's speech.

I love venn diagrams, aka Vesica Pisces For example, I was the co-host of a podcast. I ain't shit. These two realities cross over in the magical land of JoRose plays Devils Advocate.
Dear Theresa...
Dear Theresa....... When you were given the leadership of the Conservative party and automatically became Prime Minister, I hoped you would make some serious changes in the way your party governed the UK. Unfortunately, even before the calamitous general election, you made many serious errors of judgment.

The land of the free, home of the brave. Land of equality and freedom. That's us, right? Well, that's what our ancestors tried to build for us.

After Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia, and his efforts to unite Arab countries against the Islamic Republic of Iran, it seems that the consensus which the US was seeking has turned to a failure. The Arab NATO is an imaginative framework to bring together some regional Arab countries against Iran and its stabilizing role in the Islamic World. But for many reasons this platform does not have any authentic integrity.
Dear Donald, Don't Back Down To Your Enemies
Dear Mr. Trump, Despite all the negativity surrounding your presidency, I feel that you have been surprisingly smart in a few areas of significance. You stand up to Iran and North Korea and don't seem to care about the threats they send our way. As an American citizen, I feel a sense of pride when it comes to our army defending our country and making sure terrorists don't come into our country and kill innocent people. Based off of your words, the people will benefit in the long run. You have said that you will fend off any intruders in Iran who want to come to our country and suicide bomb themselves or put innocent people in danger. We are determined to defend ourselves in Syria and North Korea as you have said. We are able to use our amazing army and thwart any possible disasters that could come about in the nuclear weapon saga. As I write this, you are putting more and more pressure on Iran to not attack us because of our incredible nuclear weapons. If they start up, you will not back down. That is why I believe you have been doing a great job at keeping our enemies scared and afraid to attack. A big part of this safety process is for Iran and North Korea to dismantle their nuclear weapons. We are at war with evil. Evil has grown for the past eight years & more. You are the first man to not to sit by and let the hate continue. You said recently that North Korea will "face fire and fury like the world has never seen," if they keep threatening our nation. This is a very bold remark to say and re enforces the notion that we won't back down from this enemy of ours. In the video, you can see how direct and powerful your intentions are. I truly believe that without these type of bold messages, our enemies would be less afraid of us. We need a leader who is willing to stand up and say it like it is. While Obama was a great speaker, he was never a great quick to the point kind of guy. When was the last time you remember a president saying that he will wipe out another country if they attack us. You have the most powerful job in the world and everyone is going to try to put you down and say that you are no good. I am writing to you to say that you have to do what is best for the country and what is in the best interest for the people. Haters gonna hate. On a side note, in recent months, you have turned to China for help in containing North Korea and on June 20, you tweeted that "While I greatly appreciate the efforts of President Xi & china to help with North Korea, it has not worked out. At least I know China tried!" By the end of July, though, you were growing impatient with China: "...they do NOTHING for us with North Korea, just talk. We will no longer allow this to continue. China could easily solve this problem," you tweeted. At least you gave it a try and went out of your way to seek help from China. If North Korea thinks that it would be smart to send a nuclear missile our way, they are really naive and unintelligent. According to retired Air Force general, Tom McInerney"If he gets our full nuclear retaliatory capability, within minutes after one round going into Seoul, there will be nothing left," McInerney told Fox's Liz Claman on "Countdown to the Closing Bell." He claims that we can take out the entire region in 15 minutes! Beware North Koreans. You're messing with the wrong country. Nuclear weapons are no joke and we have plenty of them to wipe out our enemies. So Sir, not backing down to your enemies will be a big step in gaining back the popularity of the people and it will be the best outcome for our country in the future.

Have you noticed that all of the wars that America has been dragged into by our power hungry and heartless leaders seem to go on and on for decades? We never hear of any talks or negotiations or any desire to resolve the conflicts in the middle east and abroad. Afganistan, Iraq, Syria, Isreal, Palestine to name a few. Isreal and Palestine have been bombing each other for more than half a Millennium. We give them equipment to bomb the Palestinians and other countries give to Palestine to kill the Isrealis.

Dear Theresa, I hope you’re doing okay. Being Prime Minister must be an almost impossibly overwhelming task at the best of times, but I can’t help feeling that you’ve been caught in a perfect storm.
