Where Is the US Heading Now?

  Maung Zarni – TRANSCEND Media Service 7 Nov 2024 –  Empires do NOT reform. Resilience is the term associated with the Oppressed, not the Oppressor.  (Try imagine being enslaved or colonized for 300 years).  With elite delusions and a popular sense of “being special/exceptional/unique/superior),  Empires get toxic at home and abroad, decay, get overpowered/crushed or simply collapse.  USA is no exception, except it has the capacity to bring humanity at large with it, to Hell.  I do not hate Americans as a people – just another population of fellow humans, who deserve life, not more or less than any other population. But, with every cell in my body, I absolutely loath Empires and Imperialisms, whatever their names.      https://www.transcend.org/tms/2024/11/where-is-the-us-evil-empire-heading-now/?fbclid=IwY2xjawGqvDVleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHXgwBNKWj4napCW8gsxs0tHhePz99k0n2SHgUGqTG3hsPaW6A0fH86q5iA_aem_RoE8INGjP47kubq2dTF5SA

  After refusing to heed the principal’s demands to stop wearing a “Free Palestine” pin on campus, a freshman English teacher was fired from Bishop O’Dowd High School in Oakland this summer, highlighting how the war in Gaza is testing the limits of free speech in the workplace and across academia. Erin Donevan, who’s worked as a teacher for much of the last decade, said the year-long war in Gaza – and what she described as an ongoing genocide – prompted her to put on the pin last April, in part as a sign of solidarity with students who may be grieving. “I wore it on my lanyard just as a way to kind of let students know that I was a safe person to talk to if they wanted to speak about it, because there really weren’t any other spaces where I felt like the conversation was welcome,” Donevan said. While she donned the circular pin at school – with the words “Free Palestine” printed over a background of the Palestinian flag – the long-time teacher said she never taught about the ongoing co

    President-elect Donald Trump has picked Dr. Mehmet Oz to serve as the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a key federal agency that oversees health insurance coverage for more than 150 million Americans. “I have known Dr. Oz for many years, and I am confident he will fight to ensure everyone in America receives the best possible Healthcare, so our Country can be Great and Healthy Again!” Trump said in a statement on Tuesday. “Dr. Oz will be a leader in incentivizing Disease Prevention, so we get the best results in the World for every dollar we spend on Healthcare in our Great Country.” Trump, who is also seeking to slash spending in the federal government and has long had Medicaid in mind for reductions, also promised Oz would take a scalpel to the massive agency. “He will also cut waste and fraud within our Country’s most expensive Government Agency, which is a third of our Nation’s Healthcare spend, and a quarter of our entire National Budget,” the
