President Trump on social media threatened Iran by saying &#8216;a whole civilization will die tonight.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump tweeted on Easter Sunday \u201cTuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!\u201d \u201cOpen the F&#8212;-n\u2019 Strait, you crazy b&#8212;&#8211;ds, or you\u2019ll be living in Hell &#8211; JUST WATCH!\u201d at the end he added, \u201cPraise be to Allah.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Pakistan convinced him to suspend his deadline on the threats he made for two weeks, our president is considered the world leader, and it does not suit him well to use foul language. Another important thing is that he should not use another religion while using this foul language. Everyone may not follow the other religion, but we should respect each other\u2019s religion either way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two American F-15 members were stranded in Iran, and Trump ordered a rescue, which the American military bravely did with the risk of more Americans dying if there was a failure. Luckily, the military was successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we cared about the two Americans, the Iranian civilization should have the same importance. All human beings should have the same value of life. Their blood is red, and they love their family the same way we love ours. When our economy is going down, do not find a horrible solution of killing and destroying another civilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The US successfully launched Artemis II on April 1 and it traveled successfully around the moon. With that, the crew went the farthest distance that human beings have travelled from Earth. The four astronauts are Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides all the problems in the world right now, the prediction of US economy is not bad. They still predict the US GDP (Gross Domestic Product) will be 2.2% for 2026 and it may go little down to 1.9% for 2027 to 2029. Some economist predicts that the recession may come in later part of 2026. President Trump\u2019s slogan of MAGA (Make America Great Again) does not seem to be working so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newark has a non-partition election. 12 candidates signed up for federal monitors to oversee the election. The major issue is that the elected officials visit the senior buildings and the government buildings without any problem, but other candidates are not allowed to visit those buildings easily. The law says that anyone must have a permit to canvass, and residents can object to it as well. However, the residents are afraid of making a written objection against the elected officials. Canvassing is strictly prohibited at any property listed on the City of Newark&#8217;s \u201cNo-Knock Registry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone visiting Ethiopia must know the new rules and any money over $3,000 will be confiscated. According to repots, &#8220;When departing Ethiopia, nonresidents carrying more than the equivalent of $3,000 USD in foreign currency and residents carrying any amount of foreign currency must produce a valid bank document or foreign currency customs declaration that is less than 30 days old.&#8221; This is a better way for foreigners not to bring more money and control their economy according to the rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Have a wonderful week.
