The US government does not keep its promises to anyone - not the civilians it kills by mistake and not the families of the men and women who serve in uniform.
The US government is morally bankrupt and has been so for a long some time. Is there any hope for reform? An examination of the candidates currently running for the White House clearly shows that the answer is "no!"
I spoke with my sister and niece staying with her today in South Carolina. The niece lives in Asheville. Both impacted by hurricane Helene. They can’t wait to vote for Kamala. I bit my tongue. I’m attempting to learn one can’t force others to come around. My own wife will vote for the party of genocide and expanding wars. I’ve already lost friends and hanging on to some others.
How does the remaining family go forward when four beautiful children are senselessly and wrongly taken from them? It’s good they have been relocated but a travesty that they have not received any compensation and subsist on food stamps when there is a compensation fund established for this very purpose. The entire 3 million could be allocated to this family and it would be insufficient. Plenty of tax money for more drones and bombs and more wrongs to be inflicted.
I appreciate so much your reporting. Seeing this story can't help but break my heart a little bit more over the deaths of the children in Gaza, theWest Bank, Lebanon, Yemen etc etc. Keep it up, these voices matter.
You could close half of empire's worldwide military bases and it still wouldn't find money to actually care about people or their poverty, and it'd still want to cut Social Security and Medicare too. Empire regularly taking responsibility for its military misadventures? Blue moons come to mind.
It seems impossible, but they are courageously making new lives for themselves. The least we, as a nation, can do is to offer them far more than food stamps for their profound loss.
The Coates interrogation disclosed an emerging new shape of white supremacy. Two Black co-hosts unable or unwilling to intervene in the racist, rude interrogation their white Zionist co-host undertook. Someone commented on my timeline that they were basically "decorations." They were forced to conceal the overt racism of their colleague by sitting idly by in fear of their jobs, forsaking any modicum of dignity, and showing up Black in the service of white supremacy.
Outstanding work Mr. Ghassim. There is rarely any real time follow up in cases like these. Let's just follow up that righteous strike with a halfhearted attempt to make good on the devastation brought on this family and hope it goes away.
They don't give a damn. We're seeing how the "Biden Administration" is now officially Dubya II with the Cheneys on board, and just like their predecessors they have only betrayed the thousands hit by the hurricane. No doubt their friends are profitting from the catastrophe. So it's no surprise that they have made promises to a family they have caused immeasurable harm to and then seemingly forgotten about them. These days their inhumanity is more blatantly obvious every day.

both parties are in agreement on foreign policy, that is the issue.

"Good Will" from Terrorist, genocidal USA? A typical response from Gloval Terrorist USA!
Our meddling is never fruitful
