The lack of basic emergency services is inexcusable. In a modern society, the first priority of the Government is to provide essential services to the population. Shameful failure by our the leaders of our country. Why are we left to fend for ourselves? We can be better than this.......it isn't complicated.
As Sir Ronald nicely states, the Hamas problem is plain to see.
"Let me also be equally plain: Hamas is a terrorist organisation. The October 7, 2023, attack on Israel - murder, kidnapping, rape - was a crime. Its continued holding of hostages in inhumane conditions is a standing violation of international law. Nothing in this argument excuses that savagery; the hostages must be released, now."
LOL !! Thomas Friedman is an old "has been" and is no longer a relevant source. Our "columnist" is providing clear evidence of his fatigue. Poor Charlie.
Poor Charlie, he is the one who should "wake up and smell the coffee".
The Russian invasion of Ukraine began during the Hussein Obama administration when Crimea was seized while Obama "slept". More recently, while the Joe Biden administration "slept", Russia expanded its efforts to take more Ukrainian soil. President Trump inherited the problem and now has engaged the NATO partners to accept more responsibility for defense. Moreover, the realization that some form of compromise is likely the only way to end the slaughter is becoming a widely held opinion. At a minimum, it is doubtful that Russia will return the area known as Crimea to the Ukrainians.
The Epstein file contains the identities of many prominent Democrats, Hollywood elites, and foreign elites such as a Prince from the UK. The Epstein files will be brought into political play when the timing suits the need for disclosure. The political ramifications will not favor those who are supporters of, or who are political elements in the Democrat party.
The Democrat political party would have gladly released this information during the last several election cycles, but couldn't, because it does not impact Trump.
Unfortunately, the problem is just another visible and outward symptom of disfunction. Our Country can be better than this. But, it is up to us to put a stop to the status quo.

The author conveniently omits any mention of the Hamas element. One must question the reason why. Is the author a supporter of Hamas ?
