Razor thin house gap majority. It might be a little difficult for Ronald Trump and his team to pass some of their reforms and changes, and there are several Republicans ministers that are rejecting some of his proposal before being nominated as a president. They know that this is his last term
The question is how long that ceasefire is going to last ? It is a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel but Iran and Hamas are not included, and the new cabinets of Trump includes many pro Israel and zionists, and Biden already approved more military aid for Israel.
Joe Biden is leaving a hot potato in the hands of Trump and preparing the conditions for the continuation of the war in Ukraine or to make negotiation to take a big chunk of the natural resources
The white population of the USA is getting old and they can not have any more children, and there is a shortage of agricultural and constructions workers and some of those skilled are learned in the field,or thru family traditions and the Mexicans in particular are expert in agriculture, farming, carpentry and masonry.
There were two towns in the Northeast where all the emigrants workers left and the whole towns collapsed all business had to be closed, it is like trying to deport the Haitians who have revived the factories and the business of that place, it was like a ghost town. They are not eating cats and dogs, they are working hard in low pay jobs and most of them are young workers
In Puerto Rico there are ghost towns and businesses have been closed because most of the working population have left and only the retiree are staying or coming back and the prices of real estate have dropped drastically and before it was an industrialized island and the factories were relocated, and there was a large emigration from South America and the Caribbean island toward the island and some of them emigrated to New York
In California Napa Valley is kept alive due to the works performed by the agricultural workers who are producing the commodities for the wine and food industry, if they leave the whole economy will collapse and tourism will collapse too and most of those expensive restaurants and hotels are going to be closed, and most of the hotels workers ( doing part time jobs ) are foreign workers
One of the claim of the US Neo Nazis, and nationalists . The US capitalists moved most of the factories to China, India, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean islands , many factories established in the US are using robots for their production, capitalism and capitalists employ cheaper labor commodities in order to produce more profits. What about blaming the capitalists instead of the foreign workers ?
This is much better than the left-wingers, Stalinists and Trotskyists
1 With the best will in the world, it’s one hell of a stretch to see what’s happening in Germany at the moment (ugly as it is) as some kind of Nazism.
———————————————————
In Germany there are more laws against Nazism and anti semitism than in any other country
In the USA there are some small Neo nazis groups that can not hold a candle to the capitalist class, and they do not even know what Nazism was in Germany, some nazis in Germany were part of the educated elite of Germany .
Most of them are poor members of the working class who blamed their problem on the so called replacement theory, they have already been replaced by the white capitalist class instead of the foreign workers
What is happening in Germany is the normal crisis of capitalism that is taking place around the whole world, crisis of over production, declining profits, unemployments, poverty, closing factories, shrinking production, etc. etc.
In 1930 Nazis state capitalism was successful for the capitalist class in the middle of a Great Depression
They are saying that Haiti is super rich because there is a great quantity of petroleum under the sea, they have said that it is probably bigger than Venezuela reserve, but if it is true, it does not have any value because it has not been extracted
The Leninists ( and their 200 or more varieties ) have been living in the past like the Evangelicals preaching and old Bible and repeating the same outdated and false promises, and illusions, one groups use the Christian/Judaic Bible, and the other one use the Lenin Bible, based on distortions, that is the reason why the left is being replaced by the workers and the right-wingers are taking control of the state apparatus and the Christians nationalists want to establish theocratic states, to take over education and libraries, and place their old antiques rules in the schools and brainwash our children
They have been seeing fascists and nazis all over the earth like the right-wingers see leftism or communism all over too, and fascism and nazis belong to the past, or the particular case of two specific countries who use it in order to save capitalism and it worked for the German capitalists, even more, their definition of fascism is wrong, right wingers do not need to use fascism or military coup any more when they have a large support and they can use the bourgeois electoral process and capitalism limited democracy to become winners and impose their capitalist rules, they are legally taking control of the state to run their economy
In some countries they have been completely wiped out by the right wingers and their parties who were the traditional controllers and CEO of the capitalist economy do not even quality for the electoral center boards of some countries as in the Dominican Republic where the old so called leftists, social democrats, socialists, and pseudo marxist and leninists groups did not even obtain 1-3%, their leaders are in stampede, in the same way that there was a stamped in 1989 when the old soviet union Union collapsed, they did not have the tools to explain the reason of the collapse, in order to do they had to throw away their old Leninist bible and adopt real socialism, and start all over again
Socialism requires socialists, or workers with class consciousness and with certain understanding of what socialism/communism really is, and can not be established by a minority group similar to the coup d’tat of the soviets, the bourgeois has been doing the same thing imposing itself as a minority class, therefore, there is not any difference, some bourgeois revolution has had more majority support than the bolshevik coup
Trotskyism is the worst tendency of the Leninist cheerleaders including his leader known as Leon Trotsky who did not even know what socialism really is, ironically his enemy Joseph Stalin did know the real definition of socialism and he knew that it can not be established by a minority of workers, but he preferred state capitalism that made him a king and the dictator of the Russian workers. Maoism is the same case, and Mao Tse Tung was worst, he was like a modern Confucius
About establishing a new so called society by a minority without class consciousness is the old saying of the Maoists: “”Let’s get the theory on route, which is the blind guiding the blinds, the same thing that has been done by the capitalists for several centuries and they are taking the workers to a deep hole.
The state apparatus is not only military, police and the media, it is single class rule, in Costa Rica they do not have any army, and they have a so called liberal press, and the ruling class control the whole nation and the minds of the workers, and they call themselves the Central American Switzerland, and most leaders elected are right wingers, reactionaries and retrograde.
Our case has been laid down for several years, and it is very easy to be understood, any simple worker can understand our case
“Donald Trump Jr. Vows to Keep ‘Neocons and Warhawks Out’ of Father’s Cabinet: ‘No More Endless Wars’ ‘:
——————————————————————————————
Probably he has cut the wings to those Warhawks because his father new cabinet is composed of Warhawks, warmongers, lobbyists , vultures, and zionists. They are saying that his father cabinet was selected by Ellon Musk, the biggest contributors of this election were Bill Gates and Ellon Musk. The Vice President JD Vance has vanished
Finding people saying stupid things on social media is too easy.
As far as I know, there haven’t been any Democrats of note trying to claim that the vote was stolen or rigged against them. Or have I missed anything?
———————————————————————–
None has said anything about yet but the opinion is that American workers think that the electoral system is brokenThe electoral college is a vestige of the slavery system. In other countries Trump and Harris would be forced to go into a second round because they did not obtain the majority of the voters

Marco Rubio is going to continue the same legacy of George Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Joe Biden. He was one of the senate that motivated to impose heavy sanctions on Venezuela and Cuba. They preached about isolation but at the same time they are intervencionists . The border of the USA does not stop in Mexico, it continues all the down south to Tierra del Fuego

Israel and Hezbollah agree to cease-fire, halting year-long conflict
The deal would include a phased withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon, as well as the retreat of Hezbollah fighters to north of the Litani River.Israeli soldiers near the border with Lebanon in northern Israel on Tuesday. (Amir Levy/Getty Images)

JERUSALEM — Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah have agreed to a cease-fire that will take effect Wednesday morning at 4 a.m. local time, U.S., Israeli and French officials said, bringing a tenuous halt to more than a year of hostilities that escalated sharply in recent weeks.Get concise answers to your questions. Try Ask The Post AI.
The deal calls for Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militant group, to retreat north of the Litani River in southern Lebanon in exchange for a gradual withdrawal of Israeli troops over an initial 60-day period. At the same time, the Lebanese military and U.N. peacekeepers will redeploy and secure the region — terms that have been accepted by both parties, President Joe Biden said in a speech announcing the cease-fire on Tuesday.
“This is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities,” said Biden. “We’re determined this conflict will not be just another cycle of violence.”Israel’s cabinet voted 10-1 on Tuesday evening to approve the deal, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office. In a televised speech before the vote, Netanyahu said a cease-fire with Hezbollah served Israel’s interests, but added that the country would “maintain full freedom of military action,” with the option of striking again at the militant group if it poses a threat.

“We will respond forcefully to any violation,” Netanyahu said.
It was not clear if the agreement explicitly allows Israel to strike Hezbollah if it believes the group has violated the agreement. “If parties on all sides implement the agreement, as they have committed to do, there should not be a need on either side” for military action, said a senior Biden administration official who briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity under rules set by the White House.
Although, “both Lebanon and Israel retain the right of self-defense in accordance with international law,” the official said.People in Beirut watch on television as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin makes a speech. (Ed Ram/Getty Images)
Hezbollah leaders also signaled they would closely monitor the deal’s implementation. “We are accustomed to Netanyahu’s deception,” Mahmoud Qamati, deputy head of the group’s political council, told the Al-Manar news channel.The terms of the agreement require that Lebanese forces ensure all heavy weaponry and Hezbollah infrastructure has been removed from the area between the Litani River and the Israeli border, the Biden administration official said. The United States and France will also join an existing verification mission, established after the last Israel-Hezbollah war in 2006, to make sure “on a real-time basis … that any violations are deterred,” according to the official.
For more than a year, as the two sides traded cross-border fire, a cease-fire deal remained stubbornly out of reach. Hezbollah said it would not negotiate until Israel ended its war with Hamas in Gaza. In September, Israel escalated its campaign, targeting the communication devices of thousands of Hezbollah members, killing the group’s longtime leader and eventually invading southern Lebanon on Oct. 1.An ambulance at the site of an Israeli strike in Beirut on Tuesday.

A final consensus around a cease-fire emerged, however, after weeks of intense mediation led by the United States, which said it hopes it can use this deal to revive moribund negotiations for a similar agreement in Gaza. “Over the coming days, the United States will make another push with Turkey, Egypt, Qatar, Israel and others to achieve a cease-fire in Gaza,” Biden said.More than 44,000 people have been killed in the Palestinian enclave since the start of the war, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants but says the majority of those killed are women and children.
Over the past year, talks have centered around a potential agreement that would end the fighting, return Israeli hostages abducted by militants and see a surge of humanitarian relief into Gaza, where more than 2 million people are living in dire conditions, aid agencies say.
In the hours leading up to the cease-fire in Lebanon, both Israel and Hezbollah ramped up attacks. Throughout the day Tuesday, the Israeli military pounded Lebanon with airstrikes. The bombardment sparked panic in multiple cities, including Sidon in southern Lebanon, where the Israel Defense Forces issued evacuation orders for the first time.As bombs hit six different areas of the capital, Beirut, the streets grew congested with people fleeing. Dozens gathered outside the American University Hospital in the Hamra district after nightfall, some wrapped in blankets, others carrying their pets. Reem Hussien, 60, said she had already fled Beirut’s southern suburbs in previous weeks to seek safety in the Lebanese capital.
Earlier in the day, the IDF said it had struck numerous Hezbollah targets, including intelligence centers and weapons storage facilities. A multistory building in Beirut’s Nuwairi area was hit, killing at least seven people and injuring dozens more, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said in an initial toll.
Since October 2023, when Hezbollah began attacks on Israel in solidarity with Hamas, at least 3,768 people have been killed by Israeli strikes in Lebanon, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry. More than a quarter have been women and children. The war has also eviscerated swaths of civilian infrastructure in Lebanon, with more health workers killed proportionally in Lebanon than in Ukraine and Gaza, the World Health Organization said this week.Hezbollah has used southern Lebanon as a staging ground to rain down tens of thousands of rockets and missiles on Israel. At least 78 people have been killed in the last year, about half of them civilians, according to the IDF.
Tens of thousands of Israeli citizens were also forced to evacuate their homes in northern Israel after the outbreak of war and local officials across this region on Tuesday slammed the prospect of an Israeli withdrawal of troops, which they said would not create the conditions for residents to return home safely.
“This surrender agreement is a disgrace on an historic scale. … This is a failure to seize an historic opportunity to change reality for decades into the future,” said Michael Kabesa, mayor of the northern town of Hatzor Haglilit.
The deal also drew criticism from far-right Israeli leaders such as National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who called it a “grand mistake.” Eventually, he said in a statement, Israel will have to return to Lebanon.In his speech, however, Netanyahu argued that Israel needs a cease-fire with Hezbollah to focus on fighting Hamas and facing the threat of Iran, and because there have been “big delays in weapons and munitions deliveries.”
The Biden administration earlier this year paused the shipment of thousands of bombs to Israel amid a rift over Israel’s expanding operations in Gaza.
Attacks from both Israel and Hezbollah continued after officials in Washington and Jerusalem announced the cease-fire. The IDF announced more evacuation orders for Beirut’s southern suburbs while hitting more targets in the Lebanese capital. A Hezbollah rocket struck a bus station in the Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona, causing a fire.
El Chamaa and Cheeseman reported from Beirut, Rubin from Tel Aviv and DeYoung from Washington. Lior Soroka in Tel Aviv, Ellen Francis in Brussels and John Hudson in Washington contributed to this report.This is a fair analysis made by a left communist group. The Internationalist Perspective. In their prior article on Donald Trump they have said that the US ruling class was not willing to support Trump anymore, but it looks that they were mistaken because a great portion of the US capitalist class supported him . It is much better than the left-wingers lesser evil concept and the Trumpism of the Marxist Humanists
Well, Don Jr seems to have failed miserably. Marco Rubio!
———————————————————–
Marco Rubio is an old member of the Tea Party which was an institution more reactionary and more retrograde than the Republican Party but it is a branch of the Republican Party. ( some conspiracist called the Opium Party instead of Tea Party ) In Latin America he is known as Narco Rubio
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_movement
Marco Rubio is going to do in Latin America the same job that was done by Hillary Clinton, and other US Secretary of State and ambassadors
Personality like him are not very welcome in Latin America including the right wingers, and the left wingers hate anti Cuba personalities and he will continue with the same old litany about communist Cuba
Juan Bosh wrote: The president of the country is seating at the American embassy, but those days are already gone with the presence of China and Russia in Latin America who also want to take over the US backyard.
The Brazilian government wants to take Bolsonaro to jail and to be legally processed for state crime, money laundering and attempted assassination to president Lula
He is not going to be able to prove another coup in Venezuela, or Brazil, or try to promote another invasion to Venezuela because it might become another Vietnam, right wingers have sufficient support from the workers to take control of the state
Hillary Clinton participated in the coup against Zelaya in Honduras, ( to avoid the expansion of Venezuela toward Panama ) and the coup against Aristides in Haiti, he was forced to resign and to leave the country and Obama was part of that coup. The gangs on the street of Haiti are remnants of the old Tonton Macoute created by the US government
Before the Democratic took over the votes of the Afro American the Republican Party had control of the black and it was mentioned my Malcom x on one of his speeches
votes, and both had control of both houses and they never passed any progressive reforms for the black peoples.
All the reforms proclaimed by Kamala Harris could have been passed by Obama when he had control control of both houses and he did not do it, they were not going to run out of ammunitions for the next elections
Ronald Regan was the Republican president that provided an amnesty for the undocumented workers and for all the political refugees.
The old days to kick ass are gone
I do not think that the votes of Latinos, Arabs and Asian toward the Republicans was not so big as they are mentioning, most of them voted for the Democratic Party, as well most women voted for Kamala Harris,
In this election there was a big absentee of voters on both sides and it was more on the side of the democrats, and the polls were correct that it was a close race, in reality Tump only obtained between 25-33% it is not a mandate as they are saying, voters did not vote against Harris because she was a woman and she was of “mixed races” Obama obtained more votes than her and he is mixed too.
The reality is that Trump did a much better snake oil salesman job than the democrats, he did not say that the problem of the workers were due to capitalism but he used the failures of the democrats in order to win the votes of the workers, the right wings populists are using the same tactic all over the earth
The first opposition that Trump is going to encounter is going to be the US congress even that he has control of both house because they know that this his is last term and they do not want to loose their jobs on the next partial elections, and his followers are going to make opposition to him too because he is not going to be able to fulfill all his promises.
Trump is not going to establish fascism as the left-wingers are saying they are shouting the same old stalinist and trotskyist old fascist scare, they did it in Chile with the so called post fascism and now they are making alliance with the so called fascists
