Doug_W UNEEK AMEN
UNEEK butterfly agree on the political issue - I also do not wish to debate - but I find this happens even with out politics involved - just in day to day living - I feel the moral compass has been tinkered with - a little here and there swaying - tipping the scales and now anything and everything is "socially acceptable" or becomes a "new normal" etc - I think /feel the compass / scales could use recalibrating

butterfly Barzani’s party: It is difficult to pass the Prime Minister of Sadr Qah and Saleh will not return as president
2021-10-31 Barzanis party - It is difficult to pass the Prime Minister of Sadr Qah and Saleh will not return as presidentOn Sunday, a member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Bashir al-Haddad, expected the two Kurdish Democratic and Patriotic Union parties to agree on an alternative candidate for the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, while he ruled out the passing of Prime Minister Sadri Qah.
Al-Haddad said in a televised statement that “based on the principle of the experimenter does not try, new personalities will be re-assigned to presidential and ministerial positions in most cases.”
Al-Haddad, a former deputy speaker of parliament, added, “The two Kurdish parties will agree to nominate an alternative candidate to take over the presidency in place of Barham Salih with 80%, and I do not think he will be re-elected again.”
He explained, “The scenarios for forming the government will be as follows, the first of which is that a Sadrist prime minister is chosen, which is somewhat unlikely, and the second is choosing a Sadrist prime minister in accordance with the coordination framework or assigning a personality outside the framework and the Sadrist bloc at the time. It is possible to re-present Al-Kazemi as a personality independent of both parties.

butterfly A government comment on the change in the dollar exchange rate after the rise in oil
SUNDAY, 10/31-2021,PM 3:48 US Dollar-Iraqi DinarMazhar Muhammad Salih, the financial and economic advisor to Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, commented today, Sunday, on the possibility of changing the dollar exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar, after the rise in oil prices.
Salih said, “Adjusting the dinar exchange rate in light of the improvement in oil revenues needs several requirements that the government must take. This requires the foreign currency to cover the local liquidity, and the superiority of foreign reserves over the cash reserve should not threaten the wealth of Iraq’s foreign reserves.” Shafak News.
He added that “foreign reserves should cover at least a number of import months, including at least 6 months, especially in the case of Iraq, which depends heavily on openness to foreign markets. If these factors are available, the issue of changing the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar can be studied.”
It is noteworthy that the Iraqi government reduced the value of the Iraqi dinar against the US dollar in the Federal Budget Law for the year 2021, as the exchange rate of the dollar reached 1450 dinars to the dollar, after its price was 1200 dinars to the dollar. non14.net

butterfly Iyad Allawi: Washington has been defeated, Israel is preparing the mission, and Iran will receive a blow from the east!
2021.10.31 – 12:53 Iyad Allawi - Washington has been defeated Israel is preparing the mission and Iran will receive a blow from the east!Baghdad – people
The head of the Civil National Front, Iyad Allawi, stressed, on Thursday, the importance of going to general reconciliation, to avoid a repetition of the current scenarios in Libya, Yemen and Afghanistan.
Allawi said in a statement that “Nass” received a copy of it (October 31, 2021), “Tensions are escalating, and the drums of war are beating, to increase confrontations and fears for the peoples of our region and its neighborhood, Lebanon and Syria are on the palm of the imp, and that is Libya and Yemen, and its crushing and destructive war for the people of Yemen.”
In the east, America was defeated and the Taliban won, and the reason for this is the refusal of the Afghan government allied with America to adopt national reconciliation in Afghanistan, in addition to that, there are problems between Armenia and Azerbaijan and an escalation in the confrontation, which prompted both Iran and Turkey to intervene in this conflict, and the confrontation between Azerbaijan and Iran are escalating and a clash is imminent.”
He added, “Where an important leader told me years ago that a strike would be directed at Iran from the east, and there are trainings on that, and it seems that the issue is being repeated now that Azerbaijan has threatened Iran with force. There is also a Turkish expansion, perhaps for self-defense in Syria and Iraq, and tensions between Turkey on the one hand, Greece and Cyprus, as well as Israel is preparing the task to confront Iran in the event of the failure of nuclear negotiations with America and its allies, and the mutual military maneuvers filled the seas of the world in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, the Black Sea, the Arabian Gulf, the Mediterranean and the Red Sea.
butterfly He continued, “All these tensions reflect negatively on the countries of the region, and determine their fates in the event of fighting to resolve matters in favor of this side or that, but certainly all will lose, and the disadvantages and threats will increase.”
He pointed out that “the Civil National Front (Mouj) demands that everyone exercise the utmost restraint and engage in direct dialogue through a regional conference, one of whose main tasks is to restore the permanent, comprehensive and just peace process on the basis of the two-state solution, with East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.”
Allawi also stressed that this conference should put in place clear mechanisms aimed at reducing tension to the maximum degree, by taking the following measures:
1- Armaments reduction.
2- Full support for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation by selecting countries called the Group of the Wise to carry out efforts to reduce tension, such as Malaysia, Jordan, Morocco and Indonesia.
3- Establishing and assigning an international tribunal to consider appeals between countries that suffer from tension in their relations, in cooperation with the UN Security Council.
4- Laying out a map to prevent states from interfering in the affairs of other states, and preparing non-aggression treaties.
5- Strengthening economic and trade relations between countries.
6- Stemming from the strife before it escalates, and from the principle of prevention is better than cure, we direct our appeal to the G20 summit in Italy, to the General Secretariat of the League of Arab States, and to the UN Security Council, to carry out the tasks set by the United Nations system for fear of repercussions of what might happen God forbid. nasnews.com

Doug_W A Kentucky State trooper pulled a car over on I-75 about 8 miles south of Richmond, Kentucky. When the trooper asked the driver why he was speeding, the driver said he was a Magician and Juggler and was on his way to Lexington to do a show for the Childrens Hospital. He didn't want to be late.
The trooper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling and said if the driver would do a little juggling for him then he wouldn't give him a ticket. He told the trooper he had sent his equipment ahead and didn't have anything to juggle.
The trooper said he had some flares in the trunk and asked if he could juggle them. The juggler said he could, so the trooper got 5 flares, lit them and handed them to him.
While the man was juggling, a car pulled in behind the State Troopers car. A drunken good old boy from London got out, watched the performance, then went over to the Trooper's car, opened the rear door and got in. The trooper observed him and went over to his car, opened the door asking the drunk what he thought he was doing.
The drunk replied, “You might as well take me to jail, cause there ain't no way I can pass that test.”
