Using logic can save lives!

Using logic can save lives! Using a broom to clean a jungle, causing widespread destruction with an artificial hurricane, or putting out a forest fire with a household water hose is ridiculous and ineffective. Embracing such ideas is irrational and unwise. Even a child can see that these things are unattainable. People who spread such ideas either lack knowledge or think those who believe them are ignorant. Just because someone you admire says those things doesn't make it right. Do your own research, follow Regan's advice, and trust but verify. https://Vote.gov Marc Boyajian author of "The Immigrant" https://tinyurl.com/2xuwmw2u #books #americandream #America #men #theimmigrant #women #man #woman #everyone #reader #book #immigrant #reading #bookworm #bookish #booktoker #bookclub #writer #immigration #immigrants @ followers @highlight #vote #votingrights #voterregistration #Vote2024 #votenow #VoteYourConscience #VoteYourValues #voteyourvoice #VoteSmart #sharethispost #like #share #radicalism #religion #terrorism #videoproduction #actor #filmproduction #directorofphotography #filmmaker #filmmakers #video #movies #production #film #behindthescenes #filmmaking #cinematic #videography #filmphotography #cinema #films #cinematographer #director #producer #indiefilm #filmcrew #photography #setlife #filmdirector #cinematography #filming #bhfyp #movie #shortfilm

Hey there, new voter!

Hey there, new voter! I may be a stranger to you, but what I'm about to share is crucial, so I'm putting it in writing. Having survived a civil war, I am compelled to inform you that most civil wars stem from misinformation, greedy leaders, selfish motives, and taking advantage of people's naivety. Regardless of the cause, civil wars never lead to positive outcomes. Let's use our power to vote and combat the conspiracies, misinformation, and disinformation that can lead to such devastating conflicts. As the saying goes, you'll thank me later. https://Vote.gov Marc Boyajian author of "The Immigrant" https://tinyurl.com/2xuwmw2u #books #americandream #America #men #theimmigrant #women #man #woman #everyone #reader #book #immigrant #reading #bookworm #bookish #booktoker #bookclub #writer #immigration #immigrants @ followers @highlight #vote #votingrights #voterregistration #Vote2024 #votenow #VoteYourConscience #VoteYourValues #voteyourvoice #VoteSmart #sharethispost #like #share #radicalism #religion #terrorism #videoproduction #actor #filmproduction #directorofphotography #filmmaker #filmmakers #video #movies #production #film #behindthescenes #filmmaking #cinematic #videography #filmphotography #cinema #films #cinematographer #director #producer #indiefilm #filmcrew #photography #setlife #filmdirector #cinematography #filming #bhfyp #movie #shortfilm https://www.amazon.com/s?k=marc+boyajian&asc_source=01HFY6QA7FYP0YEFD1ZY3XMFP8&tag=snx78-20

The United States thrives thanks to the valuable contributions of most immigrants.

The United States thrives thanks to the valuable contributions of most immigrants. Contrary to some rhetoric, it's crucial to underscore the diverse and significant contributions of immigrants. Many of us have directly or indirectly benefited from the work of immigrants in a wide range of fields, from gardening and farming to AI technology and scientific research. These contributions have led to inspiring success stories, such as Albert Einstein, a German immigrant https://tinyurl.com/obojphc; Donald Trump, with German and Scottish roots https://tinyurl.com/2acy38jy; Elon Musk, who has Dutch, Swiss, English, and South African heritage https://tinyurl.com/2433muly, and Joseph Pulitzer,   a Hungarian immigrant https://tinyurl.com/2xm3bsjy.These success stories serve as a beacon of hope and possibility for all immigrants. The United States values and respects its immigrants' diverse ancestry, heritage, and patriotism. Many of these individuals have made significant sacrifices, including serving in the military to defend this country. Their dedication and love for this country are a testament to their character and should be deeply respected and admired. Perhaps, instead of simply pushing for the deportation of all immigrants, it would be more beneficial to establish laws and regulations that invite deserving immigrants to the country and allow us to benefit from their contributions. https://Vote.gov Marc Boyajian https://tinyurl.com/2xuwmw2u #books #americandream #America #men #theimmigrant #women #man #woman #everyone #reader #book #immigrant #reading #bookworm #bookish #booktoker #bookclub #writer #immigration #immigrants @ followers @highlight #vote #votingrights #voterregistration #Vote2024 #votenow #VoteYourConscience #VoteYourValues #voteyourvoice #VoteSmart #sharethispost #like #share

Crapping on your plate is never a brilliant idea. It's crucial to remember that defaming your country is never a wise choice.

Crapping on your plate is never a brilliant idea. It's crucial to remember that defaming your country is never a wise choice. Therefore, for those individuals in the United States who persistently express their grievances, it's necessary to acknowledge and address these legitimate concerns. Nevertheless, I urge you to recognize the privileges and opportunities that America provides, not as a tourist in other nations, spending American currency, but as someone striving to earn a livelihood and relishing the freedoms, rights, and entitlements you perceive as your due. Once you reach this point, you have the right to critique and lament the offerings of America. Despite numerous Americans lamenting their lives in the United States, it's essential to remember that many people worldwide are willing to put their lives on the line to attain it. They do so for the opportunities many have already seized, often without the sacrifices others are prepared to make. This should serve as a reminder for us to be more grateful for what we have. https://Vote.gov Marc Boyajian https://tinyurl.com/2xuwmw2u #books #americandream #America #men #theimmigrant #women #man #woman #everyone #reader #book #immigrant #reading #bookworm #bookish #booktoker #bookclub #writer #immigration #immigrants @ followers @highlight #vote #votingrights #voterregistration #Vote2024 #votenow #VoteYourConscience #VoteYourValues #voteyourvoice #VoteSmart #sharethispost #like #share #radicalism #religion #terrorism #videoproduction #actor #filmproduction #directorofphotography #filmmaker #filmmakers #video #movies #production #film #behindthescenes #filmmaking #cinematic #videography #filmphotography #cinema #films #cinematographer #director #producer #indiefilm #filmcrew #photography #setlife #filmdirector #cinematography #filming #bhfyp #movie #shortfilm

Many people in the United States fail to recognize their privileges, such as freedom of speech, assembly, and the right to vote. Having direct conversations with these individuals is crucial to help them understand the shared human experience of life under authoritarian regimes. By sharing personal stories and experiences of living under autocratic rule, we can foster greater appreciation for the freedoms and opportunities many Americans take for granted. It's disheartening that some fail to recognize their privileges, particularly considering the risks and sacrifices many individuals take to come to the United States for a better life. In "The Immigrant," the author sheds light on the daily life aspects often overlooked by Americans but unimaginable for others, such as the fear of expressing dissenting opinions, limited access to education, and the constant threat of government repression. https://Vote.gov Marc Boyajian https://tinyurl.com/2xuwmw2u #books #americandream #America #men #theimmigrant #women #man #woman #everyone #reader #book #immigrant #reading #bookworm #bookish #booktoker #bookclub #writer #immigration #immigrants @ followers @highlight #vote #votingrights #voterregistration #Vote2024 #votenow #VoteYourConscience #VoteYourValues #voteyourvoice #VoteSmart #sharethispost #like #share #radicalism #religion #terrorism #videoproduction #actor #filmproduction #directorofphotography #filmmaker #filmmakers #video #movies #production #film #behindthescenes #filmmaking #cinematic #videography #filmphotography #cinema #films #cinematographer #director #producer #indiefilm #filmcrew #photography #setlife #filmdirector #cinematography #filming #bhfyp #movie #shortfilm

Your vote is not just a number; it's your most powerful tool for protecting your rights.

Your vote is not just a number; it's your most powerful tool for protecting your rights. The candidate you choose is a reflection of your values. So, when you vote, you're not just casting a ballot but shaping the future. Vote wisely! Ensure your vote counts by thoroughly researching and understanding the candidates' platforms and principles. Let your vote show how strongly you believe a candidate can represent your interests and aspirations. Vote in a way that genuinely reflects your convictions and principles rather than just following the crowd. It's essential to carefully review and comprehend each candidate's platforms and philosophies before you vote. Base your decision on your genuine understanding and belief in a candidate's ability to advocate for your interests rather than succumbing to societal pressures or fads. Remember, the real significance of your vote lies in your conviction. https://Vote.gov Marc Boyajian https://tinyurl.com/2xuwmw2u #books #americandream #America #men #theimmigrant #women #man #woman #everyone #reader #book #immigrant #reading #bookworm #bookish #booktoker #bookclub #writer #immigration #immigrants @ followers @highlight #vote #votingrights #voterregistration #Vote2024 #votenow #VoteYourConscience #VoteYourValues #voteyourvoice #VoteSmart #sharethispost #like #share #radicalism #religion #terrorism #videoproduction #actor #filmproduction #directorofphotography #filmmaker #filmmakers #video #movies #production #film #behindthescenes #filmmaking #cinematic #videography #filmphotography #cinema #films #cinematographer #director #producer #indiefilm #filmcrew #photography #setlife #filmdirector #cinematography #filming #bhfyp #movie #shortfilm

Consider this: Whose life is truly valued in our society?

Consider this: Whose life is truly valued in our society? Do our leaders genuinely prioritize every life, or is it just empty rhetoric? Is the life of a Palestinian child regarded as highly as that of an Israeli child or vice versa? Is there equal regard for black lives compared to white, yellow, brown, or red lives? If a family member is involved in terrorism, does that association automatically make you complicit in their actions?

When a leader lies, the repercussions are not limited to the leader alone. The consequences can also be disastrous for their constituents, creating a ripple effect of distrust and disillusionment.

Truth Vs. Lies When you speak the truth, your story remains consistent. But when you lie, the story changes, requiring you to add, subtract, define, and support it with more lies. And when the truth comes out, it brings along a wave of personal embarrassment, a consequence we all should strive to avoid. When a leader lies, the repercussions are not limited to the leader alone. The consequences can also be disastrous for their constituents, creating a ripple effect of distrust and disillusionment.

When leaders fail to embody the Love they advocate, they upset the nation's equilibrium, leading to an unfortunate outcome:

What happens if you are preaching Love while practicing Hate? Many religions emphasize Love as a core principle and provide practical guidance on practicing it, often advocating for Love over Hate. When leaders fail to embody the Love they advocate, they upset the nation's equilibrium, leading to an unfortunate outcome: civil war, a situation devoid of victors and joy. I speak from experience. Christianity: "Love your neighbor as yourself" and "Love your enemies." Judaism: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Islam: "You will not enter paradise until you have faith, and you will not have faith until you love one another." Hinduism: compassionate Love for all beings Buddhism: Buddhism teaches about four elements of faithful Love: Maitri Karuna Mudita, and Upeksha Sikhism: Love for God and all of His creation.  Baháʼí Faith: universal Love and unity, encouraging followers to love all humans regardless of religion, race, or community and even to love their enemies. https://Vote.gov Marc Boyajian https://tinyurl.com/2xuwmw2u #books #americandream #America #men #theimmigrant #women #man #woman #everyone #reader #book #immigrant #reading #bookworm #bookish #booktoker #bookclub #writer #immigration #immigrants @ followers @highlight #vote #votingrights #voterregistration #Vote2024 #votenow #VoteYourConscience #VoteYourValues #voteyourvoice #VoteSmart #sharethispost #like #share #radicalism #religion #terrorism #videoproduction #actor #filmproduction #directorofphotography #filmmaker #filmmakers #video #movies #production #film #behindthescenes #filmmaking #cinematic #videography #filmphotography #cinema #films #cinematographer #director #producer #indiefilm #filmcrew #photography #setlife #filmdirector #cinematography #filming #bhfyp #movie #shortfilm @Theimmigrant @Bestsellers @Bestsellingauthor @Bestsellingbooks @Bookoftheday @Books @Inspirationalbook @Inspirationaljourney @Booklover @Bookaddict

The Trojan Horse occurs when a country's enemies successfully insert it, and the majority of its citizens are utterly enamored with it. But take caution—there can be disastrous outcomes. Imagine a nation torn apart by internal strife, its resources plundered, and its people oppressed. You do not need a battalion of soldiers in the Horse to penetrate a government; one general, preacher or Charlatan is enough if placed strategically, and one can play them as a marionette. A selfish person willing and able to change from one party to another, one wife to another, one position to another, and one lie to another without fearing or paying any consequence is the perfect candidate for this.

Any leader, whether in politics, religion, society, or finance, who commands, carries out, or remains silent about the slaughter of innocent people should be labeled a mass murderer.

Using ignorance or falsehoods as an excuse is not a practical approach.

Using ignorance or falsehoods as an excuse is not a practical approach. As a leader, it's crucial to avoid using ignorance as an excuse. Doing so weakens your authority and can erode trust and respect. For example, claiming ignorance about a decision that falls within your responsibility can damage your credibility. Denying knowledge when evidence suggests otherwise is unacceptable for adult leaders; it's behavior more befitting of toddlers. Spreading falsehoods that harm your friends, neighbors, or family members is immature and harmful. As leaders, you are expected to be purveyors of truth and trust, not sources of lies. Individuals who haven't matured should not assume leadership roles under any circumstances. https://Vote.gov Marc Boyajian https://tinyurl.com/2xuwmw2u books, americandream, America, men, theimmigrant, women, man, woman, everyone, reader, book, immigrant, reading, bookworm, bookish, booktoker, bookclub, writer, immigration, immigrants, @followers, @highlight, vote, votingrights, voterregistration, Vote2024, votenow, VoteYourConscience, VoteYourValues, voteyourvoice, VoteSmart#sharethispost, like, share #men #theimmigrant #women #man #woman #everyone #reader #book #immigrant #reading #bookworm #bookish #booktoker #bookclub #writer #immigration #immigrants @ followers @highlight #vote #votingrights #voterregistration #Vote2024 #votenow #VoteYourConscience #VoteYourValues #voteyourvoice #VoteSmart #sharethispost #like #share #everyone #reader #book #immigrant #reading #bookworm #bookish #booktoker #bookclub #writer #immigration #immigrants #radicalism #religion #terrorism #videoproduction #actor #filmproduction #directorofphotography #filmmaker #filmmakers #video #movies #production #film #behindthescenes #filmmaking #cinematic #videography #filmphotography #cinema #films #cinematographer #director #producer #indiefilm #filmcrew #photography #setlife #filmdirector #cinematography #filming #bhfyp #movie #shortfilm @Theimmigrant @Bestsellers @Bestsellingauthor @Bestsellingbooks @Bookoftheday @Books @Inspirationalbook @Inspirationaljourney @Booklover @Bookaddict #books #americandream #America

Top 8 reasons I prefer democracy over dictatorship. What are yours?

Top 8 reasons I prefer democracy over dictatorship. What are yours? 1. The freedom to own a gun for hunting, self-defense, etc. 2. The freedom of thought and speech allows us to think and speak freely without fear. 3. Democracy empowers us to vote for the leader of our town and country without being forced to accept whoever is more powerful. It's about our choice, our voice. 4. The freedom to reject a pregnancy resulting from rape or incest, giving the right to choose whether or not to recognize or reject the father, regardless of the rapist's race, financial or political status. 5. Democracy is about inclusivity. It's about the freedom to love and enjoy life with someone you love, regardless of gender, ethnicity, financial, or political standing. Everyone is welcome in a democratic society. 6. The freedom to oversee what your government is doing and to correct any unwelcome activities. 7. In a democracy, you can own your private business without the government forcing you to decide which type of business you can have or run. 8. In a democracy, every woman, be it a mother, wife, sister, daughter, cousin, niece, or granddaughter, has the right to choose what is best for her and her body. It's about respecting individual rights and choices. Feel free to share your thoughts, whether or not you choose to follow me. Your views are important.

Remember, their words and actions do not define you.

You can VOTE and kick the shit out of them and their positions. It's as simple as that. When the person you look up to treats you as if you are an idiot, stupid, and don't know or understand shit. The good news is that you do not have to believe or act as they want to portray you. By them calling you or treating you like an idiot, it does not make you an idiot unless you start believing them and their bullshit and act like one. Remember, their words and actions do not define you. How would you or did you feel when your parents, teacher, mayor, congressman, senator, or president treated you as if you were an idiot? You may not be able to choose or change your parents, but for others, you have a decisive choice, at least in this country.

End the rhetoric immediately and prevent an imminent civil war. This is not a hypothetical scenario.

https://vote.gov/ End the rhetoric immediately and prevent an imminent civil war. This is not a hypothetical scenario. Just ask any country that has endured a civil war. The urgency of this situation cannot be overstated. Civil wars are not isolated incidents. They have occurred globally, impacting various regions and causing significant loss of life and displacement. Listed below are some noteworthy examples: In Africa: - Angolan Civil War (1975-2002): A prolonged conflict involving multiple factions, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths. - Rwandan Civil War (1990-1994): Culminated in the 1994 genocide, with an estimated 800,000 people killed. - Sierra Leone Civil War (1991-2002): Known for its brutal tactics, including the use of child soldiers and widespread atrocities. In Asia: - The Afghan Civil War (1978-present): A series of conflicts that have continued for decades, involving various factions and foreign interventions. - Sri Lankan Civil War (1983-2009): Fought between the government and the Tamil Tigers, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths. In the Middle East: - Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990): A multifaceted conflict involving various religious and political groups. - Syrian Civil War (2011-present): Ongoing conflict with hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions displaced. In the Americas: - Salvadoran Civil War (1979-1992): A conflict between the government and leftist guerrillas, resulting in significant casualties and human rights abuses. - Guatemalan Civil War (1960-1996): Although it started before 1975, it continued until 1996, with a high toll on indigenous populations. In Europe: - Yugoslav Wars (1991-2001): A series of conflicts following the breakup of Yugoslavia, including the Bosnian War and Kosovo War. These conflicts have profoundly impacted the affected countries, leading to loss of life, economic devastation, and long-term social and political challenges. The consequences of civil wars are not short-lived, but they echo through generations. The search was conducted on Bing, and results were obtained via copilot. https://tinyurl.com/2ak3ughk

I'm probably the last person you'll listen to because I'm not a celebrity or well-known figure in any industry. However, I feel extraordinarily fortunate to be living the American dream after surviving the 1975–1990 Lebanese Civil War.

I'm probably the last person you'll listen to because I'm not a celebrity or well-known figure in any industry. However, I feel extraordinarily fortunate to be living the American dream after surviving the 1975–1990 Lebanese Civil War. I feel compelled to convey my point of view because political rhetoric motivated by personal objectives is shortsighted and could have serious effects. Having experienced a similar situation, I am deeply concerned and believe we must act now, united, by prioritizing negotiation and national defense over personal interests to prevent a catastrophic civil conflict. The potential for a positive outcome, if we act now, is immense. Otherwise, we risk causing long-lasting damage to our nation, with children growing up amidst violence, our infrastructure deteriorating, and our currency losing its value. Additionally, other countries could lose faith in our leadership, making recovery incredibly challenging. It is of utmost importance to avoid this bleak future. In Lebanon, every conflicting faction believed they had the upper hand due to support from other countries. However, they later realized this support was based on false hope, as each country had its agenda. Unfortunately, by the time they realized this, the situation had already reached the point of no return. It's crucial not to let history repeat itself. Let's not jeopardize the beauty of this country – we genuinely don't realize what we have until it's gone.

The understanding of a political decision empowers you to make an informed choice at the ballot box.

The understanding of a political decision empowers you to make an informed choice at the ballot box. Just as you would carefully choose the ingredients for a recipe to ensure a delicious outcome, it's equally important for you to understand the ingredients of a political decision, such as tariffs. This understanding empowers you to make an informed choice at the ballot box, influencing the direction of your country's economic policies. Tariffs: Governments impose tariffs on goods and services imported from other countries. The primary purposes of tariffs are to raise government revenue, protect domestic industries, and exert political leverage. However, the effects of tariffs can be concerning. They can make imported goods more expensive, potentially leading to higher consumer prices and trade disputes. On the other hand, they also encourage consumers to buy domestic products. Here is a more straightforward example: a company called XYZ imports a toy worth $5.00 from China with additional costs until it reaches your hand. Additional costs include packaging, transportation, import tax, delivery to your local stores, unpacking, shelving, advertising, etc. So, by the time this $5,00 toy gets on the shelf for sale by the retailer, it has already cost, give or take, $10.00. Add to it the profit the retailer has to make on that toy; at least 30% of the toy now costs you $13.00 to buy. If we add a 10% tariff on the toy, it is an additional 50 cents for each toy, and if we add 20%, it will be an extra $1.00 on that $5.00 toy, but wait. your cost will be more, and here is why. The retailer's actual cost with the 20% tariff is no longer $10.00; it is $11.00, so adding the profit margin of 30%, your price will be $13.30. So you paid $1.30 more because of the 20% tariff. This concept applies to a wide range of goods, from electronics to clothing, and even food items.

The devastation of civil war is difficult to comprehend unless you have lived through it.

The devastation of civil war is difficult to comprehend unless you have lived through it. The truth is, no one truly wins in a civil war. It perpetuates a destructive cycle that leaves a lasting impact on everyone involved. I experienced the horrors of civil war, where even the most vulnerable factions swiftly became heavily armed through outside support driven by their own agendas. It's crucial not to be swayed by any leader who seeks to push for conflict, mainly if it serves their personal interests. One should not underestimate the impact of civil war. These conflicts inflict deep, interconnected wounds on societies, leading to significant loss of life, destruction of infrastructure, and long-lasting psychological trauma. In the web of destruction that ensues, there are no winners. The human cost is immense, with families torn apart and communities destroyed. Economies are devastated, leading to poverty, unemployment, and a lack of basic services. The social fabric of a country suffers severe damage, eroding trust between different groups and contributing to long-term instability. Even after the conflict ends, there can be ongoing violence, political instability, and a challenging path to reconciliation and rebuilding. This is a stark reminder of the urgent need for peaceful conflict resolution.
