So much ugliness
Our First Amendment gives the freedom to protest peacefully yet throughout the country in recent years protests have become ugly with violence ,blocking traffic, defacing buildings and statues. Whether it's BLM , Abortion, Ukraine and now for or against Israel protesters need to use self control with respect for others and arrested if they violate the laws.
The recent tragedy where Hamas brutally murdered Jewish families including women and children cannot be ignored and I am glad our country is helping Israel.It is shocking that so many American Palestinians are actually rooting for Hamas and denying that the brutalities of the Jews even happened. Those interviewed by FoxNews and TBN were either ignorant or denied the brutal attacks and that Israel no longer occupies Gaza since 2005 yet Hamas took over Gaza and continuously sent missiles to Israel up to where they massacred Jewish families which makes them the aggressors and evil.
I understand citizens from Palestine feeling emotional about their country but they are now Americans and need to support their Patriotism to the USA and Allies by rejecting these uncalled for attacks by Hamas. I was born in Germany and part of my heart is always there but if Germany ever became a hostile enemy again my patriotism stands with America but my prayers would be to protect my family overseas. I would not march against America in favor of Germany so also should they support America and Israel's right to defend itself. Unlike Hamas, Israel warned the citizens of Gaza to flee for protection, as America does, which all the protesters also failed to mention since we do not kill families which Hamas brutally did and uses civilians as shields. Where was the heart of the woman, filmed, pulling down pictures of missing Jewish families?
I pray our country and all the world will know Jesus who is Peace and love.

Biden is a "Rocker"?
I have noticed several examples that President Biden references some Rock & Roll themes which makes him a "Rocker". The most recent is during his Israel War speech he kept saying. ...Don't, Don't, Don't. Some of you may remember the hit song Don't You by the band Simple Minds (Biden was a former band member).
Another example of Biden's Rocker status is linked to the Pink Floyd's historical song Another Brick in the Wall. Even though Biden promised during his 2020 campaign "not another foot of the boarder wall will be built during my Presidency".
However, recently he flipped flopped and now is moving forward with building the wall. It is obvious that Biden's favorite rock & roll band is Green Day. Since day #1 of Biden's Presidency when he closed down the Keystone XL pipeline and moved forward with the leftist New Green Deal which had destroyed America's energy independence and our economy. Biden's theme song though is Green Day's Basket Case.
It is my opinion that Biden will NOT be nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. However, he is the top candidate to win the award for being the worse President in America's history!
