The Democratic Party is panicking after the Presidential debate Thursday night. Frankly, I find it surprising that so many Democrats and so many in the media were surprised by Joe Biden’s performance. Joe Biden has been suffering from dementia for many years. He looked confused and out of it when he ran for President four years ago.

What is shocking is that it has taken this long for the media and the Democrats to acknowledge Biden’s health issues. In addition to ignoring Biden’s health issues, the media ignored corruption scandals involving Ukraine gas companies and both Biden and his son Hunter. The media wanted the anti war Trump out of office so bad they worked to diminish coverage of the Biden scandals.

Arguably even more scandalous is the attitude of First Lady Jill Biden. This woman should never have allowed her husband to run for President in 202o. That she allowed her husband to run for reelection says much about the dysfunction in the Biden family. Politics and scandals aside, Joe Biden is a sick man and it is not easy watching any person declining and in a very public way as he has.

Trump has now become the inevitable winner of the 2024 elections. Now we will have a President who seeks to end World War three. Trump and his foreign policy advisors have stated they will stop aid to Ukraine if Kiev refuses to sit down and negotiate with the Russians.

Try as they might, the Democrats and the media cannot cover up the fact that Biden is a very sick man. Any effort to remove him as the nominee will not stop Trump. The Democrats should have sought another nominee when they had the chance.

Instead, they embraced Joe Biden and by extension his scandal plagued son. The problems of the Biden’s have just blown up the Democratic Party. In this regard, democracy prevails because the media cover up of Biden’s problems is now fully in the open.

Armenia has officially recognized Palestine as a state. This is a brave move coming from an oppressed and long suffering nation that has endured genocide again in the last four years at the hands of Azerbaijan and Turkey. Armenia has given a slap to Israel which has unscrupulously armed and abetted Azerbaijan.

Armenia has longstanding ties with Iran. Only Iran has stood with the Armenians during their plight. Iran and its ally Hezbullah in Lebanon are therefore allies of Eastern Christianity. Eastern Christians should oppose any potential war against Iran and should stand with the Palestinians in Gaza.

The Armenian recognition of Palestine has even more crucial significance considering the attacks on the Armenian quarter of Jerusalem by extreme Israeli fanatics. The Armenians are embattled everywhere from Jerusalem to Artsakh, but they are bravely striking back and expressing support for the Palestinians who are suffering much like the Armenians.

If only Greek leaders had the ability and willingness to fight like the Armenians.

The Lebanese and Iranian affiliated “Hezbullah” is threatening Cyprus since Nicosia may be considering giving support to Israel from its territory. This very bad news and shows that Cyprus like Greece is becoming a satellite of the west. The Mitsotakis government in Athens ruined the traditional good relations that the Greek world had with Iran when it seized an Iranian tanker.

The Mitsotakis government had also bent over backwards to aggravate the Russians. On Ukraine, Athens should have emulated the example of Hungary. Budapest has accepted Ukrainian refugees and provided humanitarian relief while adopting strict neutrality and refusing to get involved. The Mitsotakis government has repeatedly insulted Moscow in a shameless display of currying favor with the west.

Cyprus seems to be following the path of submission to interests that are outright anti Hellenic. Iran and Hezbullah were on the side of Orthodox Christianity when they fought to save the Assad regime in Syria. Iran and Hezbullah fought against the genocidal ISIS and other western funded jihadists who were slaughtering Christians, Yazidis, and Shiite Muslims.

In the recent past, it made sense for Greece and Cyprus to work with Israel against Turkey. The stupidity here is that the government of Cyprus is contemplating working with Israel not against Turkey, but Iran and Hezbullah. It should be remembered that ethnic Greek Orthodox Churches in Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Saint Catherine’s Monastery in Sinai have survived because of traditional friendships between Greece and the Arab world.

Working with Israel right now is not to the interests of Greece and Cyprus for two reasons.
Israel is complicit in full scale genocide against the Palestinians of Gaza. The Hellenic world becomes morally complicit in genocide if it supports the Netanyahu government.

Orthodoxy has become less of a factor in Greek and Cypriot foreign policy. The Greek Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos and other ethnic Greek bishops have condemned the genocide in Gaza. Archbishop Alexy of Gaza (a Greek) heroically declared his willingness to die with the people of Gaza by refusing to leave.

Many Gazans are Christians. Greeks should not be indifferent to their plight. The interests of Christianity and Hellenism in the Middle East necessitate good relations with Iran and Syria. Good relations with Israel matter as well, but the policies of Netanyahu make cooperation between the Hellenic states and Israel impossible.

Will a Greek leader emerge in Greece or Cyprus that is not a western stooge?

The Biden administration has provided Ukraine with weaponry. This is nothing new. What is new is that the administration has approved of Ukraine’s intentions to hit Russia proper. This is exactly what every administration from Truman to Bush senior avoided during the Cold War.

The government of President Putin has said it is now interested in peace talks. America and Europe should engage Russia and should ignore Ukraine’s immature President who seeks to drag the world into the Russo-Ukrainian war. Russia should make territorial concessions while the west should abandon bringing Ukraine into NATO.

The French have spoken of sending troops to Ukraine to fight Russia. During the Second World War, European fascists joined Hitler’s army to fight Russia. Western leaders have lost all sense of reason.

The sanest politician in the western world remains Donald Trump who opposes this war and always opposed bringing Ukraine into NATO. If World War Three can be avoided until next January, the world could survive if Trump wins the Presidential election.

Throughout the country, there have been incidents involving teachers targeting students and labeling them “trans” without the knowledge or approval of parents. Two recent cases have emerged which indicate that many teachers have brought their social activism to school in full violation of moral and ethical standards. One case involved a Greek American family and another involved an immigrant family from India.

In both cases, predatory teachers sought to persuade each girl to transition socially. This means giving them male names and identities. This was done through the means of deceiving parents. In the case of the Greek family, school officials flat out lied when the mother concerned about her daughter asked if teachers and councilors were aware if anything had occurred that might have affected her daughter.

In the case of the family from India, the teacher not only instructed the child in question to lie to her parents, she instructed the other children in the class to lie about the child’s social transition. Here we have examples where teachers are actively grooming children and instructing them to lie to their parents and others. This behavior on the part of teachers is twisted and immoral.

The parents from India were so horrified when they discovered what was happening that they fled the state of Washington for fear the state might take their child. They subsequently left the United States and returned to their native India without saying a word to anyone. As if America were a Stalinist society where the state can take children if parents do not go along with the state ideology.

The Greek family on the east coast pulled their daughter out of the school and enrolled her in a private school where she is reportedly doing better. In the America of the Democratic Party, school teachers can exploit children causing them emotional distress and anxieties as happened with these children. Creating a climate of fear for families is the outcome of the twisted and insane LGBT ideology that the Democrats embrace.

The above incidents demonstrate that the Democrats are waging a war on faith and morality. They are a national threat. The actions of school officials to undermine parents and their values is evil. Those who vote Democratic are voting for more of the LGBT ideology.

A Special prosecutor, Robert Hur claims that President Biden cannot remember important details about his life. This is entirely believable as anyone who has watched Biden on television can affirm that he is senile. This is not to be cruel to the President as his condition is one that deserves sympathy.

Sympathy for his condition aside, the fact remains that Biden has to make decisions about war and the economy. He is in no condition to make decisions on such important matters. Biden should never have run for President four years ago, and yet he is running for a second term.

During the Democratic debates in 2019 it was apparent that Biden was sick. He ran for President anyway. Biden served in the Senate for thirty five years and served as Vice President for eight years. Other politicians would have been happy with such a career and would have retired gracefully.

Being the narcissist that he is, Biden chose to run for President. He has shown the signs of being a sick man and ran in 2020 and is running again. Of course, his family deserves criticism as well.

His wife Jill is referred to as “Doctor Jill” by Democrats and the media. We are supposed to be impressed by her education. Yet, this woman is allowing her husband to run for reelection even as the entire world can see him deteriorating mentally. The man has lost the ability to speak coherently, he walks away at speaking engagements, and on one occasion proceeded to shake hands with someone who was not there.

Compare the Biden family with the family of actor Bruce Willis. The family of Willis persuaded him to retire from acting when it became apparent he had dementia. Willis will deteriorate in private away from the eyes of the world. He has a horrible disease but at least has a family to care for him and protect his privacy.

The Biden family is the worst first family in American history. Hunter Biden’s corruption has been enabled by his parents over the years. Joe Biden cares nothing about the country. Only about being in the political spotlight.

The Democratic Party is fiercely defending Biden and is arguing that Biden is in good health As if people who watch him speak cannot tell how sick the man is. The Democrats are in conflict with reality on other matters such as biology, so it is not surprising they are in denial about Biden’s health.

Biden is a sick man who should retire. His family and the Democratic Party are doing him no favors by supporting his reelection campaign. A senile old man has been a disaster for the country over the past three plus years and needs to go. The Trump campaign should not hold back when the Republican nomination is secured.

For the good of America and the world, Trump needs to defeat Biden. Biden’s family, the Democrats, and Biden himself need to be gone. Dr. Jill should now be referred to as Dr. Evil.

The old Church of the Savior of Chora in Constantinople which had been a museum is set to be converted into a Mosque once again. The Erdogan government has again demonstrated its extremism. This is the same Erdogan that Prime Minister Mitsotakis invited to Athens a short time ago.

The Chora Church features beautiful iconography. We will be losing them, as eventually the Turks will destroy the iconography of Hagia Sophia. Sadly, the heritage of Greek Orthodoxy in Constantinople is being lost.

The Ecumenical Patriarchate to whom both the Chora Church and Hagia Sophia theoretically belong is itself acting like its Turkish oppressors in Ukraine where the Great Lavra a great source of Russian and Ukrainian spirituality is being taken from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Another cleric of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Metropolitan Longin has been beaten. The Ecumenical Patriarch in his expansionist activities is losing what is in theory, rightfully his.

In the end, he will end up with nothing. The conversion of the Chora Church is serious, but considering the persecution of the Church in Ukraine, few outside the Greek speaking world will care. The Greek government itself is more preoccupied with feuding with the Church of Greece over gay marriage than defending one of Greek Orthodoxy’s great Churches.

The conversion of the Chora Church demonstrates the failure of the policies of both Patriarch and Prime Minister. The Americans with whom the Patriarch collaborated in his anti Russian policies in Ukraine are predictably not helping him in Turkey.

As for the Prime Minister, his appeasement of Erdogan has been answered with the conversion of the Chora Church. The conversions of Chora and Hagia Sophia are outrageous insults to Christianity and Hellenism but the Greek world remains asleep despite these insults.

Representative Nancy Pelosi has stated that Americans protesting the humanitarian crisis caused by Israel’s criminal campaign in Gaza need to be investigated as possible Russian agents. According to Pelosi, Vladimir Putin wants a ceasefire and so anyone critical of Israeli actions in Gaza is under Russian influence.

This is exactly the stupidity that brought on the Ukrainian war. Anti Russian demagoguery is alive and well among the Democrats. First, the Russians were blamed for Hillary’s election loss in 2020. The Democrats and the media stated that the evidence on Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation”. The Russians are blamed for everything.

For Pelosi and the Democrats, stupidity and warmongering have no bounds. The Democrats joined the neocons for four years in stirring up anti Russian hatred which led to support for Neo Nazis. Not to be outdone, the Canadians honored a real Ukrainian Nazi war criminal last September.

The protests against the atrocities in Gaza include people on the left and the right. The left protesting (and this is an instance where leftists are on the right side) are by no means friendly to Russia. Good people on both sides are appalled by the horrifying conditions in Gaza where people are lacking food, water, and electricity.

The problem here is that Pelosi and the Democrats believe their fanatical ideology which consists of the idea that Washington (and Israel and Turkey) is never wrong and always supports democracy. Blind ideology created the war in Iraq, the destruction of Libya and Syria, the Ukrainian war, and now Gaza.

All of these ventures have ended in disaster. Yet, the true believers in both parties continue calling for more war. Senator Graham, a Republican is once again calling for the bombing of Iran. The lunatics exist in both parties.

It is to the credit of America that free speech still exists and demonstrators are speaking against the foreign policy of the Biden administration. As for Pelosi, the woman is elderly and is a career politician who lost touch with reality as many of her colleagues in both parties have.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government is the most extreme in the history of Israel. His coalition partner Itamar Ben Gvir who is in charge of national security is a follower of the late Meir Kahane. Kahane was expelled from the Knesset in 1988 and was barred from running for office in Israel.

The attacks on Israel by Hamas on October 7 were indisputably crimes against humanity and cruel and inhumane. The Israeli reaction however is also cruel and sadistic as Israel is bombing civilian targets without discrimination. A Greek Orthodox Church, Mosques, hospitals and homes have been hit. The civilian population is being punished collectively for Hamas despite not being involved in the attacks by Hamas.

The United States which has hypocritically lectured the rest of the world on human rights is continuing to arm the Israelis despite the mounting evidence of war crimes. Israel is looking to push out one million plus Palestinians from Gaza. Netanyahu has openly mocked the US by insisting there will be no Palestinian state when the war ends.

American officials have responded by pathetically saying Netanyahu will not remain in power forever. So, the US which theoretically supports a Palestinian state is going to allow Netanyahu to call the shots. Contrast Washington’s slavish obedience to Netanyahu’s government with their aggressive threats against Russia and others.

As a Senator, Joe Biden supported NATO’s aggressive bombing of Serbia. The bombing of Serbia was no different from Tel Aviv’s bombing of civilians in Gaza. American officials are as complicit in war crimes as the Netanyahu government. It is therefore not surprising that Washington is not doing anything to stop the destruction of Gaza.

The Netanyahu government is blocking humanitarian relief from entering Gaza. Famine is becoming a reality, as is the spread of disease. Palestinians are living without electricity and water. South Africa has brought a case against Israel before the International Court of Justice.

Chile and Mexico are supporting South Africa. Germany has announced it will defend Israel. The people of Gaza are not likely to be helped by any major western government. German. Support for Israel is reminiscent of the arms that Germany provided to the Turks during the genocides of the Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks during World War One.

The solution to a Middle East peace lies in a two state solution. American and European policies in the Middle East have failed. What the Middle East needs is greater Russian involvement. The Russians saved Syria from becoming a jihadist base a few years ago while the west was supporting ISIS and Al Quada. As the Ukrainian war is coming to a close, the Russians who have good relations with the Arabs and Israel may succeed in bringing about a ceasefire.
