Okay Hake notes from JLP… hit and miss…
JLP Hr 1 MONOLOGUE: Overcome words… Free your mind, the rest will follow… You can overcome the world from within…. Everyone catching hell around you; they won’t even know you have perfect peace within! Above all things, get an understanding. … Drugs, Prostitution, Suicide, smh… // JLP talks with O a first-time caller, and maybe another caller…
JLP Hr 2 Hake reports on Brittany Maynard’s 2014 assisted suicide in PDX, his Route 66 tee, and discusses Cotton-picking and automation. // John in TX (1st-timer) asks about women not having love. Men do crimes. Lot of love from mothers. I’m compassionate, not emotional, ok fine. How did you become emotional? 50% from mother. His father and mother get along. Saving money living at home! “Too harsh.” JLP gives a brief monologue after break commenting on John’s mindset //

Great stories and monologue, and reference to Dennis Prager on Judeo-Christian core values… Super Chats… More Biblical Q answer calls… Darla in TX (last call) says loyalty is attached to an identity, and it’s evil. The people who talk loyalty will turn on you if you do something they don’t like! It’s implying a contract… You can’t always agree! //

Bitcorn!
(CNN and theSkimm Wed. 10/25/23) Bitcoin is surging again, topping $35,000 for the first time since May 2022. Many investors are growing excited about the cryptocurrency’s 20% jump over the past five days, but if history is any indication of bitcoin’s volatility, it’s possible that the sharp rise could be followed by a steep plunge.
NOT READ, BUT THIS IS BETTER: (theSkimm is better, Wed. 10/25/23) Bitcoin. Yesterday, its price jumped above $35,000 for the first time in a year and a half. It's the closest Bitcoin has come to reaching levels from its glory days, when its value topped more than $63,000 in 2021. The crypto’s resurgence comes as investors expect the approval and listing of Bitcoin ETFs, or exchange-traded funds — a kind of investment fund that Americans have thrown at least $4 trillion into. Now, Bitcoin could soon move from the world of unregulated exchanges like FTX and into the mainstream market — renewing interest in crypto.
Israel-Hamas war drama
(CNN too, but a more detailed report theSkimm Wed. 10/25/23) Yesterday, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN joined many calling for an immediate cease-fire. Since Hamas killed more than 1,400 people on October 7th, Israel has responded with an unprecedented number of airstrikes, while Hamas and militant groups in Gaza have continued to launch rockets — thousands each, according to the IDF. More than 5,700 Palestinians have been killed, according to Palestinian health officials. Now, Israel’s siege on Gaza’s access to food, fuel, and water has pushed the strip to the brink. Twelve out of 35 hospitals have been forced to shut down, according to the WHO. Other hospitals are at risk. The UN said fuel is expected to run out tonight.
Israel has so far rejected calls for a cease-fire, prioritizing its military goal of ending Hamas. The approach comes in contrast to 2021, when Israel and Hamas agreed to a mutual cease-fire after 11 days of fighting. Now, Israeli officials reportedly say any pause could give Hamas time to regroup — one reason they’re preventing fuel from entering the strip. Israel is also apparently resisting Hamas’s call for a pause in exchange for an estimated 220 hostages. Instead, it has reportedly delayed a ground invasion to see if mediators like Qatar and Egypt can secure their release. The Biden admin is backing Israel up, demanding the release of hostages as a precondition for any cease-fire. But yesterday, it echoed calls for a “humanitarian pause.”
A pause could come in hours, days or months. One thing is clear: the death toll in the latest Israel-Hamas war has surpassed all of its previous wars since 2008. Any playbook the two had on hostage negotiations or cease-fires may be thrown out the window as each sees this latest bout of fighting as an existential threat and a matter of survival.
CNN [NOT READ]: As the humanitarian crisis in the Middle East deepens, the main UN agency working in Gaza said it will be forced to halt its operations later today due to a lack of fuel. Doctors in overwhelmed hospitals on the brink of shutting down have repeatedly warned that waves of new patients injured in the daily bombings and babies relying on oxygen supplies will die if fuel is not brought in. Just eight out of 20 aid trucks scheduled to cross into Gaza on Tuesday made the journey, UNRWA said. No specific reason was given as to why the other 12 trucks didn’t make it. This comes as Israel’s leadership said a ground offensive is still on track after they vowed to wipe out Hamas in response to its October 7 terror attacks and kidnapping rampage in which 1,400 people — mostly civilians — were killed and more than 200 taken hostage.
House speaker saga
(CNN, skipping the very detailed report from theSkimm Wed. 10/25/23) House Republicans selected Rep. Mike Johnson as their next speaker nominee in a secret-ballot vote Tuesday night after Rep. Tom Emmer dropped out of the race earlier in the day — just hours after he was selected as the GOP’s third nominee. Lawmakers will head to the House floor today to vote, but there is still uncertainty over whether the Louisiana lawmaker can secure the 217 votes needed to win the gavel. “Democracy is messy sometimes, but it is our system,” Johnson said Tuesday evening. [NOT READ] “The intention is to go to the House floor tomorrow and make this official. So we will be doing that,” he added. For more than three weeks, the GOP conference has so far struggled to unite behind a successor to Rep. Kevin McCarthy following his ouster.

Storm in MX
(CNN or theSkimm Wed. 10/25/23) Hurricane Otis has weakened to a Category 4 storm after making landfall early today near Acapulco, Mexico, as a life-threatening Category 5 hurricane. Forecasters have warned it could be a “nightmare scenario” for Mexico’s southern coast as it threatens to cause catastrophic damage with destructive winds, heavy rainfall and storm surge. Forecasts show Otis is expected to rapidly weaken later today as it presses inland and over southern Mexico’s higher terrain. Additionally, rainfall totals of 8 to 16 inches are expected in parts of the region through the end of the week, with some areas seeing up to 20 inches of rain. Meteorologists caution this could potentially cause dangerous flash floods and mudslides.
Immigration
(CNN or theSkimm Wed. 10/25/23) Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing the Biden administration for allegedly cutting razor wire at the US-Mexico border. Federal agents, the Republican said in the lawsuit, implemented a policy in late September that called for the destruction of the wire, which he claims undermined the state’s border security. The suit, filed in the Western District of Texas, marks the latest chapter of the legal battle between the state and the Biden administration over border security during a migration surge that is straining local and federal resources. Last month, Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 200,000 migrants crossing the US-Mexico border, the highest total during a one-month period this year.
Social media scapegoated for bad parents!
(CNN or theSkimm Wed. 10/25/23) Dozens of states sued Instagram-parent Meta on Tuesday, accusing the social media giant of harming young users’ mental health through allegedly addictive features [not read: also see Amazon.com: The Emotional Lives of Teenagers: Raising Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescents (Audible Audio Edition)]. In a federal lawsuit filed in California by 33 attorneys general, the states allege that Meta’s designs, such as infinite news feeds and frequent notifications, have contributed to a mental health crisis in the US. The suit also accuses Meta of violating consumer protection statutes, as well as a federal children’s privacy law that prohibits companies from collecting the personal information of children under 13 without a parent’s consent. The federal complaint calls for court orders prohibiting Meta from violating the law and, in the case of many states, unspecified financial penalties.
Just don’t make bureaucrats like they used to!
(CNN or theSkimm Wed. 10/25/23) Roughly 300,000 student loan borrowers recently received inaccurate bills — many with charges higher than they should be. The Department of Education said it identified numerous errors made by some student loan servicing companies and has directed the companies to immediately fix their mistakes.
They got rid of MEN and INDEPENDENT THINKERS from “health care”
(CNN or theSkimm Wed. 10/25/23) QUOTE: “While usually health workers care diligently for others in their time of need, it is now our nation’s health workers who are suffering, and we must act.” — CDC chief medical officer (who’s also Deputy Director for Science and Program) Debra Houry, issuing a statement after a new report from the agency found that nearly half of US health care workers reported feeling burned out in 2022. — A “PROBLEM” OF THEIR OWN MAKING!
