High Percentage of USA Food Imported from Foreigners [here]
4-23-25, ANews -- Politics have a little to do with the need to be more proactive in growing your own food in America and although many of the reports President Trump's about immigration policies causing a rise in cost for certain foods grown in the U.S. come from left leaning sources trying to create fear over President Trump's agenda to make America healthy again.

​An objective look shows that some prices may rise for U.S. grown food products, but worth it to have Americans doing jobs associated with farming, instead of importing from nations who don't have USA's best interests.

Via Food and Wine [here]: "The price of domestically produced food items will also go up as U.S. agricultural farms suffer from labor shortages," Elahee says. "A large proportion of U.S. agricultural workers are undocumented immigrants. Their deportation is causing a shortage of agricultural labor, thereby pushing the wages of existing farm workers. Such higher wages will translate into higher prices for agricultural produce and food items that are grown or made in the U.S."  "Undocumented immigrants" they call them - however the appropriate legal term is illegal migrants. How many able bodied Americans unjustly collect welfare doing nothing - perhaps these people would like to support themselves & pick crops??

​Zelensky Halted Peace Deal Over Pipe Dream of Getting Crimea Back
4-23-24, * -- President Trump slams Ukraine’s leader Zelensky for rejecting Ukraine-Russia peace negotiations, saying a deal was 'very close.’ The upcoming high-level talks scheduled for 4-23-25 in London aimed at bringing a pause to fighting disintegrated after the lunatic Martial Law Administrator, Zelensky went ballistic over Crimea.
He objected that the U.S. offered to recognize Crimea as Russian territory. However, THE DEAL didn't require Ukraine to make the same concession. Reportedly, the enraged Zelensky appeared before Ukrainian media delivering a defiant diatribe - Never Crimea! We won’t do it! We won’t let YOU do it! And more ranting. Sec of State Rubio & Special Envoy Steven Witkoff immediately canceled their reservations leaving junior members of the team to handle the Ukrainians.   =>

<=  The US intended to present a deal the Russians allegedly agreed to, which would have completely & indefinitely halted the fighting while a final peace deal could then be negotiated at leisure; but Zelensky refused.
 
History & Geography of Crimea [1]: Crimea is a jagged peninsula in the northern Black Sea. It's a beautiful & haunted militarized resort, a paradoxical mashup of beaches & bunkers, castles & missile silos. that had been claimed, conquered & coveted by many civilizations from the Greeks, Scythians & Byzantines to the Tatars [Muslims], Ottomans [Muslims] & finallyin 1783 the Russians. And during World War II the Russians clawed Crimea back from invading German Nazis at unfathomable cost. 
In 1954, while both nations were part of the united USSR, Gen Sec Khrushchev gifted the territory to Ukraine. In 1999 when the Soviet Union crumbled - becoming RUSSIAN FEDERATION - Crimea officially became Ukrainian.

===

The RF held referenda elections when the Crimeans voted in large numbers to join the RF. So Russia amended its constitution to show Crimea had been restored to the RF. However, NATO & Ukraine refuse to recognize the referendum or Russia’s annexation as either legal or permanent.
Today, Ukraine is losing the war & President Trump’s cease-fire deal, dangled in front of them. It could’ve immediately stopped the bleeding; but because the powerful fantasy of recovering Crimea, Zelensky shot down even talking about it.

In 2014 ethnic Russians living in Crimea experienced violent discrimination by Ukrainians [supported by US Pres Obama [here]. In March the RF [Russian Federation] invaded the peninsula, claiming occupation was necessary to protect its citizens who lived there.

It’s beginning to look like the Ukrainians — Zelensky & the oligarchs who are really calling the shots — need to make some difficult decisions. However, there’s currently so much war money sloshing around Europe that all the incentives are completely topsy-turvy. If he’s not careful the pugnacious comedian Zelensky is about to be left holding the bag.

Note: On 5-15-18 opening of Russia built bridge from Crimea to the RF [here] 

 There is no realistic pathway for Ukraine to recover Crimea. However, they planned to do it in Ukraine’s 2023 Glorious Spring Offensive —at its peak military capability— meant to push through the Russian lines & establish a beachhead in Crimea. ​
They never even got close.

Modern Day USA Doctors Incentivized to Keep Patients SICK!
In 2020 during the Covid fiasco America's doctors put thousands of people on the harmful prescription drug "Remdesivir" and ventilators. They KNEW the eventual outcome and every flu symptom was labeled COVID to get MASSIVE payouts. 

​I don't trust insurance, medicine or doctors anymore. For 5 years I haven't gone for my annual - so called 'Health Checkup' - because I won't do any procedures they suggest or will I take any medications that may originate from China.

In 2020 asked my physician for Hydroxychloroquine - he told me it was illegal. I found Ivermectin in Canada - I feel better now, I take natural vitamins & minerals especially high doses of Vitamin C and D - with NO side effects. About 20% of U.S. medical visits are unnecessary [here] often painful, useless tests and treatments are inflicted on the innocent.

Question: How many people didn't have ANY symptoms or ill health until they went to their doctor who told them: 
'you have cancer?' [More here]

4-14-25, It’s unclear exactly how much Katy Perry and the other celebrity women paid to secure a seat on the “New Shepherd” rocket. According to a form on Blue Origin's website (1) relating to seat reservations, applicants must agree to pay deposits that pay only a small proportion of the total cost = millions. Blue Origin applicants must have $150,000 JUST FOR THE DEPOSIT. The first ticket sold for a Blue Origin spaceflight was $28 million, which was paid by a bidder in an auction between 7,600 people from 159 countries. Reportedly it’s estimated that the average cost of a seat to space varies between $64 million to $88 million.
