Container Bomb. An explosion in the Persian Gulf at the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas was caused by a bomb shipped inside a container next to hundreds of other containers shipped from around the world. It opened up a new dimension to the Middle East war. We aren't safe. MUSIC John Williams, Clinton Shorter

It's true, America is politically divided, and it's also true that a second civil war in this country may be on the horizon. The violence in our society is pointing in one direction. Events caused by mentally deranged individuals may morph into armed group conflicts, skirmishes, and armed conflicts, becoming commonplace. America is well armed, and the government is using all forms of surveillance. Revolutions are born from financial crisis and oppression. The truth is that's nothing new. Nothing remains the same forever. MUSIC R.Robbins,D.Shire,B.Tyler,H.Zimmer, P.Whiteman

Evaluating Risk. When making important decisions, one should always determine strengths and weaknesses. Of course, with consistency free from corruptive values like manipulation, lies, or governmental propaganda, one should evaluate risk. When you have power and overwhelming popular support, you may not be successful. Let's face it: Politicians in power have produced a $36 trillion debt that every man, woman, and child in America owns. MUSIC Brian Easdale, Cliff Martinez, Jed Kursel, Julio Iglesias, Javior Navarete, Cole Porter

Federalist Papers. President Trump enjoys saying he's a student of history, and you might say he's familiar with America's way-back documents. While on the campaign trail for the presidency, Mr. Trump often said he wanted to reduce the Federal Government, and in principle, this has been a long-debated argument regarding power over state rights. By any measurement, the 36 trillion Federal debt is an abuse of power and threatens every man, woman, and child. MUSIC Aaron Zigman, Mark Korven, Hildur Gudnadotter, Tyler Bates, & Joel Richard, Benard Herrmann, Michel Lagard

It shouldn't be any surprise that extortion is a common practice in government. After the 1980 to 1988 war, Saddam Hussein asked President George H. Bush what he was going to give him for fighting Iran. Bush replied, "Nothing. You didn't win," So Hussein invaded Kuwait for its oil, which made Bush invade Iraq. Extortion can have serious consequences. President Trump says he'll stop the Ukraine/Russia war if Ukraine will give back 350 billion. MUSIC James Newton Howard, Lalo Schifrin, John Barry, Bernard Herrmann, David Shirer

Whether you like it or not, in 1838 Charles Darwin revealed one of the great secrets of the natural world. He saw that this world is ever changing with all living things evolving and that's since life began on Earth. When we turn our backs on the laws of nature, we put ourselves at great risk. AI is not prosperity."Mystery of Mysteries-the appearance of new life on this Earth". MUSIC/T.Bates,C.Shorter, G.Moroder,P.Egelmann,D.Prigent/L.Gerrard,A.Silvestri

It's said Emperor Nero was complicit in 64 AD burning of ancient Rome. He wanted a modern city to complement his enormous and lavish palace. So, burning down Rome served a purpose. In a semi-arid landscape, L.A.'s fires might be considered NEGLIGENT. Southern California's property assessors determine 350,000 private swimming pools. It's no wonder fire hydrants were EMPTY. Also, L.A. funds fire departments only at the rate of ONE fireman for every ONE THOUSAND residents. MUSIC Hans Zimmer & Ben Wallfisch, Dave Grusin, Sarah Brightman, Dominck Hauser, Leslie Garrett

When applying for a loan at a bank, it's a common practice to supply a financial statement. Of course, there are exceptions to that rule. For example, if you're the son or daughter of the bank's president or some other widely recognized individual, it's usually a simple question of how much money you earn and your total liabilities. For example, if you're making X amount and your liabilities are MINUS XXX. YOU'RE NOT LIKELY to get that loan. So it is with COUNTRIES! America owes trillions of worthless dollars and will be unable to buy Canada. MUSIC Dean Johnson,E. Rabbit,H. Williams,Johnny Cash, Spade Cooley

It's nothing new that corruption exists in American politics, and machine politicians play a significant part. They deceive to stay in power. The unknown facts are that Joe Biden, in the 2020 election to the presidency, was already suffering from a serious mental condition that was hidden from the American people. The truth of the matter: Biden was used as a puppet to promote policies by others in the White House. It's yet to be known who those people were. Biden could read speeches, but the words weren't his. MUSIC Anita Baker, Toni Braxton, Christena Aguilera, Cher
