Update on the news 2024

 The wars in Ukraine and Israel are still going on which sounds crazy but evil continues to spread throughout the world.. After more than a thousand days of war, there are signs Ukraine is running short of man power and Israel continues to fight Hamas since October 7, 2023. 

Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s longest serving prime minister threatened to turn all the places where Hamas is organized  and hiding into cities  of ruins, called Gaza and urged its residents to leave. 

President Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States in November 2024, defeating incumbent vice president Kamala Harris, and making him the second president in U S history after Grover Cleveland in 1892 to be elected to a nonconsecutive second term. 

Trumps victory was credited to a surge in inflation, a migrant crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, and a global anti-incumbent backlash. The Associated Press and BBC news described it as an extraordinary comeback. 

I hope President Trump can help Ukraine and Israel and all countries where families are truly suffering due to war and poverty.
