Sara’s Weekly Update #25
Welcome to my newsletter! I write down my thoughts & opinions on the topics I read/watched last week. My topics of interest are broad, please feel free to skip to the issue you like.
Israel-Hamas war
I admit I am not an expert here and don’t know much of the history. I have been trying to learn some history in the last few weeks. But if I see the event without any historical context, it looks like barbarism. And it is sad to see Innocent Palestinians suffering from this conflict. I pray for these wars & misunderstandings to end soon & pray for all families on both sides who lost their friends & families.
Here’s a good interview with Joe Biden on this topic.
Q: Is it too much for America to take on two wars at the same time?
A (Joe Biden): We are united States of America for God’s sake. We can take of both of this.
All I can do is appreciate his confidence in the US & thank him for his service to the US under these extreme conditions (two wars, dysfunctional Congress). Wish him all the best & luck to see all these through.
House Speaker Election
The House Speaker Election is in chaos from midterm. It all stems from dividend country & which led to the GOP’s mediocre midterm & winning the House with a thin margin. Also like Joe Biden said in the above video, the new GOP is 30% MAGA Republicans and has a different view of the world. Wish House Republicans could come together & sort this out sooner & start focusing on other pressing issues for the US government.
Good interview from Sen. Mitt Romney about the topic.
The more outrageous things you say, the more followers you get. People Increasingly coming to Washington who’s objective in staying office is to make more noise not to make law.
I do see this pattern & it is sad. It is the responsibility of the citizens to focus on the accomplishments & eligibility of the public official to do the job rather than the noise they make.
Sidney Powell pleads guilty over efforts to overturn Trump’s loss in Georgia and agrees to cooperate
This is big news, Sidney Powell is in a close circle with Trump & associates involved on Jan 6. Now she can testify against other co-conspirators including Trump. We will have to wait & watch how this unfolds.
