Netanyahu Reaps the Whirlwind By David S. Fehr November 24, 2023 Hamas is significantly sustained not by Palestinian support, but by Israeli and Qatari policy. It has been strengthened and kept in place partly by Netanyahu, who allowed half a billion dollars of money from Qatar every year to enter Gaza to strengthen Hamas and keep Palestinians divided, preventing the Palestinian state from coalescing, as the full spectrum of Israeli media report. This strategy seems to have backfired, leaving Netanyahu with an 8% approval rating. Like the United States which funded, armed, and engaged extensively with future enemies like Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and Saddam Hussein, Netanyahu played with radical Islamic terror as a gambit in his power games. He will not and could not pay the price for it in this life. realcleardefense.com What It Feels Like to Survive an IED Blast An Excerpt from 'River City One' realclearbooks.com

I retired age 52 to care for my wife who was terminal. I rolled 401k into and ira. I had no pension since i took such an early retirement it was discounted so far i just took a small lump sum which was also rolled into ira. no social security and no other income i set up early withdrawal from the ira under substantially equal payments until age 62. this action eliminated any penalty for early withdrawal. I set up a size of withdrawal to take care of anticipated inflation and other financial needs for the next ten years. My withdrawal was much larger than early requirements and a portion of the money went into savings and stocks. imo you have to be very disciplined to follow this program.
