Greetings from Tyler,
One thing you can count on with Trump. He speaks off the cuff what no speechwriter would ever recommend. Trump and Putin met in Alaska, but no big breakthroughs were announced. Both raised the possibility of meeting again. More details will likely emerge in the coming days.
It’s gonna hit the fan, as far as the domestic goons are concerned. We knew these guys were crooks, and now we’re going to have to survive the onslaught of having it proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Somebody’s gonna talk, that’s my theory, maybe more than one is going to spill his guts for a pardon. They haven’t started lining up yet, but we’re going to have to live through having everything we already knew, proven. Having to live through the “revelations,” pretending like we didn’t know all along is going to be the hard part.
Israel is having its way in Gaza. They show us thousands in Rafah at the border crossing with Egypt. The Middle East is vast, but no other Arab country wants to solve the problem. It’s too convenient to have the “Palestinians” in the mix. They are not a separate race of people as the Arabs would have you believe. But now the game is up. Gaza has been a sore spot forever. The Arabs can’t believe the “injustices” that Israel was implementing, and it’s been the same since I was over there. As for the Israelis, they don’t sit around drinking tea, complaining about the injustice of it all. They mean business.
They’ve given the Arabs every chance to live peacefully, but then Arabs get hatred for the very idea of Israel all week long, and some decide to be heroes. Arabs get it in their mosques, at school and at home. They think if they die fighting the infidel they go straight to heaven. You almost wish some dead ones could come back and tell them the truth. But they’re steeped in it. It takes the homestead being turned to rubble, and they’re still mad about the injustice of it all. This thing has a history.
Over here, and we can be supremely thankful we’re not in the middle of it, we’re worrying about mundane things, like the price of groceries and gas. But I think Trump is the most hands-on president since the greats. He’s in charge, and not going to let things get unlivable in the United States under his watch.
I keep seeing the other party imploding. With all we’re going to have to live through, it’s not going to be pretty. The bad guys are going to Alligator Acatraz or worse. Meanwhile Trump plans to fly above the fray. That’s his style. He’s going to know about as much about it as we do. He’s got his deputies fanned out all across the world. If you don’t think the bad guys wake up every morning having bad dreams about what he might do, what he could do… I don’t think they want to mess with him. He’s used to winning.
Mark
