Does anyone know what came out of Canada’s PM Carney’s meeting with Trump today? Other than quibbling about where to place Canada’s star on the American flag?
Oh, he announced this during their meeting. It’s good news.
”
President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the United States will stop bombing the Houthis after the terrorist group conveyed they will stop attacks on American ships.
Trump revealed the major development during an Oval Office meeting with recently elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
“We had some very good news last night. The Houthis have announced that they are not — or they’ve announced to us, at least — that they don’t want to fight anymore. They just don’t want to fight, and we will honor that,” Trump said.
“And we will stop the bombings, and they have capitulated, but more importantly… we will take their word. They say they will not be blowing up ships anymore, and that’s what the purpose of what we were doing,” he added.
The announcement comes after Israel carried out massive airstrikes in Yemen’s capital city of Sana’a on Monday, destroying the country’s main airport. Israel’s airstrikes were in response to a Houthi missile strike on Sunday that hit Ben Gurion International Airport in Israel.
Al Mayadeen, an outlet linked to the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, notably boasted of Houthi attacks on U.S vessels in an article entitled “Ansar Allah triumphant: US facing Red Sea defeat again” just days before the sudden agreement Trump announced Tuesday. Ansar Allah or “Ansarullah” is another moniker for the Houthis.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio echoed Trump during the Oval Office meeting, saying the U.S. will halt bombings so long as Houthi attacks on ships end.
“This was always a freedom of navigation issue,” Rubio said. “These guys–these are… a band of individuals with advanced weaponry that were threatening global shipping, and the job was to get that to stop, and if it’s going to stop, then we can stop. So I think it’s an important development.”
The push for euthanasia has been on for years and sadly it seems to be gaining ground everywhere. Ironically, I debated this subject in high school and won. I took the side for it, since someone had to do it. I used emotion to get the win, which is just what is done by the proponents today. The slippery slope is especially dangerous for anyone with health issues or old. That has been proven by places where it is already entrenched.
U.S. Orders Intelligence Agencies to Step Up Spying on Greenland
The U.S. is stepping up its intelligence-gathering efforts regarding Greenland, drawing America’s spying apparatus into President Trump’s campaign to take over the island. ~
Yes the slippery slope is a real danger. I could see insurance companies offering it— especially to the disabled. And labeling it something ridiculous like ‘ end of life affirming care’.
One of the most horrifying things about euthanasia, or “physician-assisted suicide,” is that it always used to be considered merciful to talk someone out of suicide. Now it’s “OK, let’s get you an appointment.”
Debra – re: “I could see insurance companies offering it— especially to the disabled.” That is why there are some groups for the disabled who are very much against it.
We personally know of a young man in his late 20’s who decided to end his life with his physician’s help. The young man was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Unlike his Christian parents he was a Universalist Unitarian. It was incredibly sad that not only did he see no hope for living long in this life he had rejected hope for eternity
