Open Letter to Members of the United States Congress
Dear Representatives and Senators:
I am troubled by the loose talk about launching a nuclear attack on Russia. From time to time, senior Republicans and Democrats have suggested employing such weapons. This appears to be a deliberate effort to acclimate Americans to the idea of nuclear war.
Now, we have Zelensky's office jumping on too. On September 21, 2022, Newsweek ran this headline: U.S. Needs to Threaten Russia With Nuclear Strike: Ukraine. The article quotes Mykhailo Podolyak, Zelensky's senior aide, as saying, "The other nuclear states need to say very firmly that as soon as Russia even thinks of carrying out nuclear strikes on foreign territory-in this case the territory of Ukraine-there will be swift retaliatory nuclear strikes to destroy the nuclear launch sites in Russia."
Of course, it is impossible to limit retaliatory nuclear strikes to destroying only the nuclear launch sites. Not only would damage be widespread, but Russia would be forced to respond in kind to threats targeting its nuclear deterrence capability. Russia would launch an immediate, massive nuclear response, including air and ground-based hypersonic missiles and submarine-launched ballistic missiles. Each Russian submarine would shower down 100 nuclear warheads, sufficient to incinerate the entire National Capital Region or the Western European industrial heartland.
Please leave a feedback on thisx
As the Ukrainian War drags on, globalists are marching us relentlessly toward this nuclear Armageddon. Why?
There would have been no war had we not overthrown the democratically-elected government of Ukraine by violently ousting President Yanukovych in 2014. We promoted war by flooding Ukraine with massive arms shipments afterwards. [See: https://moderndiplomacy.eu/2018/06/04/how-and-why-the-u-s-government-perpetrated-the-2014-coup-in-ukraine/]
The U.S. could have achieved peace by simply pressing Ukraine to implement the 2014 Minsk Peace Agreements which it had signed, establishing a clear framework for settling outstanding issues peacefully. Ukraine promised to implement the Minsk agreements, but chose instead to make war on the Donbass for the next seven years. Ukraine's attacks killed 14,000 people before Russia ever entered the war.
Within two months after Russia crossed into Ukraine, Russia and Ukraine were finalizing a draft peace agreement. However, Prime Minister Boris Johnson suddenly flew to Kiev to block its implementation, undoubtedly coordinating with the U.S. State Department beforehand. War would continue, regardless of the parties' longing for peace.
NATO had ample opportunity for peace but deliberately chose war. The U.S. realized that, with Russia's back to the wall, it would have no choice to but to attack. In 2007, U.S. Ambassador to Russia William Burns pointedly warned that movement toward absorbing Ukraine into NATO might well trigger war between Ukraine and Russia. Nonetheless, the Obama administration overthrew the Ukrainian president and flooded in weapons, knowing that doing so would trigger war. [See: https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/08MOSCOW265_a.html].
Today, wealthy globalists have billions at stake, and they intend to have their war profits even if it means gambling the lives of hundreds of millions of people across the globe.
Few Americans knew anything about Ukraine before February 24th. Was Ukraine in South America, Asia, Africa, or Europe? Many Americans couldn't have answered that question. But now, in order to address a local border dispute on the other side of the globe, war hawks demand concrete steps toward a nuclear war that might-exterminate 60% of humanity, plunging mankind into a primitive state.
Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and Clinton all approached nuclear confrontation with utmost caution. But the Obama administration changed course when it recklessly overthrew the Ukrainian government in 2014 and flooded Ukraine with weapons aimed at Russia. It did so knowing that it was threatening Russia's most vital national interest: the defense of its territory against nuclear aggression.
Now, the Biden administration threatens to cast caution to the winds. Many of its allies suggest a game of one-upmanship where the U.S. and NATO fire nuclear missiles in response to Russia's use of such weapons to defend its territory. In other words, we would destroy the entire world as our way of saying, "Oh yeah? Well take this!"
Would simple revenge justify killing hundreds of millions of unknowing people? Should we annihilate the world's population to intervene in a border war where the U.S. has no vital national interest?
The U.S. can promptly end this war by making Ukraine a neutral, non-aligned state, just as we did during the Cold War with Austria in 1955. Yes, there would be some territorial adjustments resulting from the war. But peace would end the ongoing bloodshed, avert a nuclear conflagration, and assure Ukraine's long-term safety and independence.
Nuclear war is unthinkable; peace is the better course of action. Please consider it.

Brave US cops assault heavily pregnant woman. Video
On April 4, a horrific video appeared on the Internet showing a Hunt County sheriff's deputy brutally assaulting a woman in front of her crying children. The woman is screaming in pain, telling the officers that she is pregnant.
The assault started when Child Protective Services was accompanied by the two deputies to perform a home interview with the family.
When presented with the court order by the deputies, the unidentified woman asked to see the paperwork again before allowing the officers into her home. The officers then forced their way into the home and pinned her against her kitchen counter.

The woman was screaming in agony as her stomach was being pressed against the kitchen counter. The woman was nine months pregnant. Her children were crying as they were looking at the act of violence that was being committed against their own mother.
Reportedly, the woman was then taken to jail and charged with assaulting a police officer. To make matters worse, the woman's son was reportedly taken and placed into foster care, even though family members were willing to take him in.
"While in jail she repeatedly asked to have her injuries examined and documented and was fearful for her unborn child. The jail nurse said she didn't want to get involved fearing for her own job. No prenatal care was offered either. She was segregated because she was pregnant in an isolation cell where she slept on bare concrete and blankets and the lights were left on 24 hours a day. She was awakened every 15 minutes not because she made any threats of self harm but because that was the procedure in the isolation cells," a woman's friend said.
The woman was released six days later. She went to have pictures of her injuries taken and documented. The bruises were still visible eight days later. According to the woman, she had visited a doctor the day before the incident, so she could prove that the bruising was not present before the attack.
Eventually, the woman delivered a baby boy. However, the police placed her newborn in relative's custody where her visitation time is "severely limited."

O Café A Brasileira é um dos mais emblemáticos cafés da cidade de Braga, em Portugal, localizado no Largo Barão de São Martinho, em pleno centro histórico da cidade.

História
O estabelecimento foi fundado por Adriano Soares Teles do Vale, nascido em Alvarenga (Arouca), concelho de Arouca, da Área Metropolitana do Porto, na Casa de Cimo d'Aldeia, que, ainda jovem, emigrou para o Brasil. Era pai de Inocêncio Galvão Teles. No Brasil, dedicou-se ao negócio do café, com o que enriqueceu nos finais do século XIX. Casou no Brasil com uma filha de fazendeiros do Estado de Minas Gerais, onde se dedicou à fundação de um estabelecimento comercial inicialmente chamado "Ao preço fixo", que incluía também casa de câmbios, e à produção agrícola, em particular de café, que importou para Portugal e, regressando a Portugal por motivos de saúde da primeira mulher, que acabaria por cá falecer, criou uma rede de pontos de venda do café que produzia e importava do Brasil: as famosas "Brasileiras", espalhadas por Lisboa (Chiado e Rossio), Porto, Braga, Aveiro, Coimbra e Sevilha. Adriano Teles foi também um homem de cultura, com interesse pela música e pela pintura. Fundou a Banda de Alvarenga, financiando a compra dos seus primeiros instrumentos, e fez, da Brasileira do Chiado, o primeiro museu de arte moderna em Lisboa. No Brasil, ainda no séc. XIX, teve ainda passagem pela imprensa e pela política, tendo sido Vereador da Câmara da cidade onde casara e se estabelecera.

Em 2004, foi comprado por Armindo Pinheiro, originário da Ponte da Barca, que ganhou o gosto pelo negócio da restauração nos quase 30 anos em que permaneceu emigrado no Brasil, onde ainda hoje tem algumas "lanchonetes" no Rio de Janeiro. O café foi alvo de importantes obras de restauro e modernização entre Setembro de 2008 e Março de 2009, mantendo a traça original. Actualmente é gerido pelas filhas do investidor.

Understanding the constraints on trading activity is essential for companies looking to expand into new markets.
New market entry and subsequent effective foreign trade are major challenges in themselves. But they become still more challenging when companies face a lack of favorable conditions for foreign trade in the host country. Russia ranks 157nd out of 185 countries on the ease of "trading across borders", according to the World Bank's 2014 Doing Business report, which looks at domestic small and mediumsize companies and measures the regulations applying to them through their life cycle.
Of course, no single rating can take into account all the individual characteristics of a particular country. The results of the Doing Business survey are thus open to question. However, in Russia's case, at least one aspect is hard to dispute: in the opinion of the business community, the conditions in Russia for foreign economic activity by SMEs are still far from being favorable. Ineffective and unliberal regulation, numerous administrative barriers, frequent corruption, an underdeveloped institutional environment – all of these require business and expert communities to take the initiative in creating favorable conditions for foreign trade, protection of business interests, and finally, for mutual support and development.
and services if you are interested in engaging in foreign trade with Russia, or are already doing so. We invite you to join the Partnership and allow us to be your guide through various aspects of trade with Russia.

I understand that being the president wasn't anything easy to achieve and that once you are president everyone blames you on current problems or accuses you of breaking promises. Some don't understand that you don't hold the power to do most of the thing you might have promised but I know you can push and suggest changes to Congress. I know you can at least try to make a difference. The issue I present to you are one of the many problems people have been wanting past presidents to change and it is in my hope that you would be the first of many who actually accomplishes to fix at least one of them.
My parents are American citizens but that wasn't how it always was, in fact they were born in Mexico. However, they came to the United States, like many families, in search for a better life not only for themselves but for their children. My parents got their green card and then took the necessary requirements to become an American citizen. This isn't the case for everyone. Those families who are here illegally are afraid they will be sent back and therefore don't try to become US citizens or even get a green card. We seem to forget something, America was formed for freedom and to be able to pursue happiness, we all came here from immigrants at one point of our lineage searching for a better life as well. How can we deny the right to freedom while we bask in it's presence? Are these families really causing any harm? The only ones that deserve to be deported are the one's who come here with ill intent or those who break the laws that protect people.
Once the immigrants come here they don't look for trouble but for jobs that no one wants, for example, working in the fields. In all honesty we know they work there because they don't have many jobs to choose from either from the lack of knowledge of the English language or just lack of education, but the point is that they at least try to make a living in a place that can give their children a better life. America secretly depends on them to take the jobs that are honestly hard and could be dangerous. They are also low paying jobs and they barely get by, yet they still send money to their families. I recall reading this article in my study skills class where they called the so called immigrants, heroes because of all the effort they put into finding a job and giving most of their money to their families in Mexico. There are an estimated 11.7 million Mexican immigrants living in the United States. Imagine all the jobs that would need to be filled if they were to leave. Some may think this is a good thing but let's be honest, the jobs that will become available are field work, skyscraper window washing, factory work, etc. Not many would take the job much less stick to it. If no one took these jobs we'd be out of fruit, vegetables, nuts, and other foods that are picked.
I'm lucky enough to be born here unlike some others that I've known. There are many students who weren't born here but still came here at a young age. Young enough to assimilate and forget their first language. Now imagine if that child got deported back to their original country and not knowing a lick of the language. They would either struggle to swim or sink and drown. I know someone who was and still can be a bright student, however she couldn't go to college because she wasn't born here, this was a less than a decade ago. She could have become someone, she could have change the world, she could have been anything but yet again America, the land of opportunity, the land of freedom, denied her that choice, denied her that opportunity because she wasn't born here. As far as I know we are all born equal, we are all born free, yet our government limits those who aren't born here. It's not like they were born in a different planet or that they aren't people, they should have rights as well. The right to chose where to stand. No one picks where they are born.
The change I ask isn't to let everyone in but to let the ones who won't do harm in. Don't limit opportunities to those who can make a difference, to those who don't have any ill intentions. I hope with this letter you can at least consider making changes even if it isn't this particular problem but one that the people want and need. I just wish something can be done soon because it breaks my heart to see families separated and dreams crushed.

Mexico: Long-delayed telco reform finally gets a boost
Mexico's Senate is said to have voted in favor of legislation aimed at taking on the dominance of Carlos Slim, the owner of top telco America Movil.
According to reports, Mexico's lower house is now set to debate the bill. The Senate's approval of the rules pushed the bill one step closer to becoming law after months of debate, controversy and legal challenges.
According to the Institutional Revolutionary Party's leader Manlio Fabio Betrones, the bill could pass as early as Tuesday.
The Senate passed the bill last Sundya after 17 hours of debate, reports say. The legialtion is part of President Enrique Pena Nieto's efforts to reign in America Movil's market dominance and boost competition in the telecommunications sector. The bill would also tackle the dominance of Grupo Televisa, which was also declared dominant.
Reports say the bill would allow dominant companies like Grupo Televisa and America Movil to propose their own divestitures to reduce their market share. The rules would also place caps on prices and require dominant companies to share infrastructure.

Negative Sentence Examples
By Kit Kittelstad, M.A. Education , Staff Writer

Nobody likes a "Negative Nancy." But, in grammar, negative sentences aren't necessarily a bad thing. Negative sentence examples include statements of things that are false. They don't have to be accurate or true; they're simply statements from a speaker or writer that are believed to be untrue.
For example, "She does not speak Spanish." These statements stand in stark contrast to positive sentence examples. There, the speaker might say something like, "She speaks French very well." Let's take a closer look at negative statement constructs.
What Is a Negative Sentence?
Negative sentences are declarative statements. That is, they relay information believed to be true. Negative sentences are typically formed by adding the word "not" after the helping verb. The most popular helping verbs are a form of "to be," including "am," "is," "are," "was" and "were."
Negative sentences can also make use of the words "do" or "will" (including "do," "did," and "does") before "not." In any of these constructs, it's possible to substitute "does not" with the contraction "doesn't." Other examples include didn't, isn't, wasn't, weren't, and won't. If you're writing a formal document or an academic essay, it's best not to use contractions. However, for informal writing, including blogging and social media posts, contractions are perfectly acceptable.
List of Negative Sentences
Let's explore some examples of negative sentences.
I am not flying to England.
That isn't the way to Nashville.
They are not from Ecuador.
He wasn't eating white rice.
We were not sad when he moved away.
They don't practice yoga.
She did not like Bikhram yoga.
He doesn't have to commute to work.
They will not be joining us for dinner tonight.
She won't be attending the Met Gala this year.
These aren't pistachios.
They weren't playing poker.
Changing Negative Sentences to Positive Sentences
Positive and negative sentences in English grammar are complete opposites. But, making the change from negative to positive is quite easy. Why would you want to do this? Your sentences will benefit from improved clarity with positive statements.
Why say something "is not purple" when we can be more specific and say it is blue? Positive sentences require fewer words, fewer verb conjugations, and draw a direct line to the point you're trying to make. Let's change all the negative sentences above to positive sentences and see how they clear things up.
Positive Sentence
I am sailing to England.
That is the way to Memphis.
They are from Venezuela.
He was eating cauliflower rice.
We were happy when he moved away.
They practice yoga.
She likes Yin yoga.
He has to commute to work.
They will be joining us for dinner tonight.
She will be attending the Met Gala this year.
These are macadamia nuts.
They were playing gin rummy.
Nix Negative Sentences
Of course, we can't rid ourselves of negative sentences completely. And we wouldn't want to either. Sometimes it's necessary to say, "This isn't a beetle but I don't know what kind of bug it is." There's no way around saying what "isn't" from time to time. However, in the instances where you can positively say what is rather than what isn't, you're setting yourself up for some nice, clean prose.
While you're considering clarity in your writing, consider using the active voice as well. It adds impact to your writing because, in these construct, the subject is carrying out the action of the verb. The opposite of the active voice is the passive voice, where the subject is being acted upon by the verb. In these constructs, the subject is being acted upon by the verb and that can muddy the waters. For more on that, enjoy Change Passive Voice to Active Voice.

6 Excellent Tips for a Great Plane and Road Trip With a Toddler
By sirinya
In Parenting, Travels
We're back from our East Coast Adventure, where we traveled 1,200 miles in 12 days and visited six states plus Canada. Our adventure started in Toronto, Canada and ended in the DC area for a family reunion, with stops along the way in Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse; the Berkshires; and Amish Country. I promise to blog about the trip itself. Before I forget, I wanted to share the lessons we learned about going on a long road tripp with young Wilshire, who is presently two and not yet potty-trained.
1. Bring Your Own Car Seat (if you can)
Here is Will in his car seat on the plane ride back to LA
For this trip, we brought along an Evenflo Sureride, which is a Consumer Reports-recommended convertible car seat which retails for about $10o. It's also light enough so you can carry it over your head, which is a must when you have to get it physically onto the plane while shimmying down a narrow aisle.
I decided that I would bring my own car seat after a bad experience with the car seat rented to us by Avis for Will's first plane trip. Avis gave us a $65 car seat called the Graco ComfortSport that was impossible to install properly unless you had pool noodles. Not a joke.
You might be wondering how we managed to get this car seat through the airport and around town, as we flew into Toronto but took a MegaBus back into the US before renting a car. In the end, the easiest thing for me to do was to put the car seat over the umbrella shade of our City Mini stroller. Note that while those contraptions that allow you to strap a car seat to your rollaboard or a stroller cart (we had both) are nice, you will have to make the car seat available for scrutiny at least twice before getting onto the plane. In our case, WestJet's counter staff wanted to take a look and the car seat has to go through the scanner at the TSA security checkpoint.
What you see: Wilshire in his City Mini stroller (he's happy); Juan's wearing a ginormous backpack AND pulling a suitcase that has a car seat strapped to it (and, for good measure, a rollaboard on the seat). Guess what, it was actually easier to do this to reach the bus terminal instead of getting into a car for 0.5 miles.
2. Pack a Vomit Removal Kit.
My vomit removal kit comprises of a wet-dry bag with disposable gloves (a must), plastic bags, a change of clothes for both kid and parent, and pet wipes and a small spray bottle of pet odor removal.
Bonus: While on the MegaBus between Toronto and Buffalo, NY, we finally realized that Wilshire tends to puke after drinking milk. We stopped giving him milk while he is in his car seat. Miracle.
3. Rent a full-sized car or larger.
Knowing we would be driving over 1,200 miles over the span of just 10 days, Juan and I rented a full-size car from Hertz at the Buffalo Airport for this trip. We wanted a nicer car with sufficient trunk space and a higher-quality suspension than what we're accustomed to with our Toyota Corolla. We wound up with a 2018 Nissan Altima, which was a comfortable ride and had a spacious trunk.
1) You don't have to accept the upgrade.
Hertz originally gave us a Jeep Compass, a crossover SUV, because there were no full-size cars on site. Within 5 minutes, we knew this car wasn't going to work out. It didn't have enough cargo space (everything we brought fit into the trunk of the Altima, which was cheaper to rent). The LATCH hooks in the Jeep Compass were also really difficult to access, which also meant that I would never be able to install my Evenflo car seat properly. Our trip involved driving too many miles to skip this detail.
2) That said, be prepared to pay for an upgrade to another car –
Especially if this is what it takes to get into a car in which you can properly install your kid's car seat. This isn't thing to scrimp money on. In our case, I would've pushed to take one of the Chrysler minivans I saw in the lot if staff were unable to supply a full-sized car, and I would've paid if necessary.
3) Stay nice and polite.
The staff at the Hertz counter really truly went the extra mile for us. I think it helped that we traded stories about working in the transportation industry and difficult customers.
Will slept like a champion in his toddler air bed.
4. Also, Wilshire brings his own bed
Now that Wilshire now sleeps in his own Big Kid Bed, we got this inflatable crib-sized mattress with 'bumpers'. It was easy to set up. The kid slept in it like a champ. And no matter where we wound up for the night, Will knew he had his own place to sleep – and it wasn't with us.
5. Bring a Cooler Bag with an Ice Pack
I also packed Will's milk and food pouches in the cooler bag – and yes, I was able to get this through security. (Plan on extra time for a secondary screening, though.)
Tip: To ensure we didn't forget the ice pack in the hotel refrigerator, we would put a hotel towel inside the cooler bag as a reminder.
6. Don't Push It
On our longest driving day, we traveled from the Berkshires to Strasburg, PA.
We managed to travel 1,200 miles because we did it over the span of a week. We tried to drive about 3 hours a day, typically in the afternoon in time for Wilshire's nap, as we found that our son became very fidgety after he's woken from his nap. Our longest segment was about five hours, and that was only for one day.
