No. The fault lies in Trump, not the Congress. Trump is playing games. Their Jewish association has nothing to do with the Infrastructure debate. In fact, in my experience, the Jewish people I have known are infinitely more empathetic to social issues than their non-Jewish counterparts.

You are assuming here that all Jewish people support Israel? You are very wrong about that; perhaps read up on the facts. You are assuming that 6% of the Congress holds the power to sway 94% ? That is highly unlikely. If you *meant* to be inflammatory and bigoted with this post - you ...

Jolanta replies on Jul 1, 2019:

I certainly think that the 6% do everything in their power to vote for giving money to Israel, you just look at who voted for it, and a huge percentage of the non Jewish people in Congress are very happy to receive “donations “ that have ties to Jewish businesses intrests.

Too much indoctrination into religion, dumping down of education, pure greed, etc, etc. And some people truly hope that he is the messiah, they are so downtrodden and angry that they are looking for someone to blame, and it is easier to blame the ones one does not know. Also there seem to be a urban myth or something that rich people are something to look up to, they cannot possibly be wrong or have done something wrong, they have just been working very hard that is why they are rich, and that is something to look up to.

Stop blaming people coming over from South America or other nations, these are the very same places that the US has one way or another interfered with by war or by some other means. Often economic.

You are not telling me anything I don't already know and something I shall tell you is that our government is treating refugees abysmally at the moment too. I am ashamed of what they are doing. When you talk about the first Americans having immigrated, that may be so, however there is no history about where from and when, they certainly where there before all the "whites" came and stole their land, and when you are talking about sovereignty and being nothing I cannot fully agree there because what does it really mean. A lot of the immigrants that are in the US are there because the US went into their countries and made wars or regime changes.

Jolanta comments on Jun 15, 2019:

That was brilliant. Why does America got talent have British people on its panel. Don't they have enough of their own to choose from?

Jolanta replies on Jun 15, 2019:

@MsAl Ok, but he has one in the UK too, could he not stay home and do that one? Perhaps there is a bit of exhibitionist about him there. Bigger audience, bigger exposure, etc, etc.

I feel the same way as you do Lisa. I could not and would not spend my money or time in these countries. The harm done can never be forgiven.

@AmiSue Hi there again. Thank you for your answer. I had a look at your profile and am I understanding it right that you were adopted at birth?

@AmiSue Thank you for answering this, but I am a bit confused about this. Are you ok with what is happening to Palestinians in Israel or not?

I just found out that my oldest son's wife left him.

Perhaps now she sees how wrong she was an about you.

Jolanta replies on Jun 13, 2019:

@Ms_McSteven Yes, it is hard. All the time we hope that they will change and apologise but deep down we know it will not happen. It is all about leopards and spots.

Jolanta replies on Jun 13, 2019:

@Ms_McSteven Seems to me like your son is not a nice person, not to you, not to his wife and not to his children. Do you really think you want to have anything to do with him. If he needs you let him come on your terms not his.

@Ms_McSteven Don't be so sure about that. Perhaps you should try to reach out to her and see what happens. She may see the situation completely different now. And besides she will need you.

When are Trump supporters going to realize that he does not have a clue -- not a single real idea-- ...

powder comments on Jun 11, 2019:

I disagree. Trump is a classic narcissistic personality. Totally selfish with little to no empathy. But one thing about these people, reputation and thus their place in history is important to them. They are all about manipulating people so how others view them is important to them. So I fear Trump...

And some people still think having guns in the US of A is good

Matias comments on Jun 6, 2019:

It is not the guns, but the *culture of violence* that makes all those guns so dangerous. In Finland or Switzerland, gun ownership also is very high, but lacking a culture of violence, all those guns cause much less harm than in the USA.

Jolanta replies on Jun 6, 2019:

Switzerland are changing their gun laws.

Yes, but every one of those countries has a higher or equal school stabbings than we do. Sure a lot fewer people die and thier kids aren't terrified to go to school, but are those really a measure of freedom we care about?

Jolanta replies on Jun 6, 2019:

Wow, I have no idea where you get this from. School stabbings? I have not heard about any school stabbings here in Australia and I have had kids in school and have friends with kids in school.

Jolanta replies on Jun 5, 2019:

@TomMcGiverin I think some people are just optimists and think that with someone else it is going to be different. He/she will be the one that they have waited for all their lives and they are going to make them complete, he, he. Well that does happen but mostly in movies. Gosh I am such a cynic he, he, but a happy one.

Jolanta replies on Jun 4, 2019:

@TomMcGiverin Sorry that you haven’t been able to find a partner and what can I say when you think I am being glib. I don’t mean to, just speaking from experience. Do you know that the happiest people are married men and the most unhappy are married women, so there is a reason for why women who are either divorced or widowed don’t want another relationship. I myself find that men of a certain age want someone to look after them or that they want a “best friend “. Most women already have friends and don’t want to be a crutch for men.

Read and pay attention
