Maui has gone from paradise to a war zone.  Many of the buildings in Lahaina were historic.  Old wood buildings that have been there a long time.  You don’t need me to tell you, it’s wall to wall on TV.  Lost people, no communications, it’s unbelievable.  Even the surface of the water was on fire.  They’ll rebuild in time, but the lush surroundings have been reduced to ash.  You expect fires in Hawaii to be the result of some lava flow, but these fires came from another source.  The people in the middle of it need our prayers.

Cargo ship fires are burning up thousands of vehicles, thought to have been started by electric cars. Rolls Royces, Mercedes, Porches, and 20 Lamborghinis, and they’re worried the fires, burning for days, may be hazardous.  The insurance companies will be on the hook.  I wonder if they have policies that cover electric cars burning up ships.  They will.

You’ve noticed that a Special Counsel has been appointed to investigate the Hunter Biden matters.  That probably means we won’t hear another word for a long time.  You know the routine.  “We can’t discuss anything, because it’s under investigation.”  Meanwhile, everything gets worse.  The pretender mumbles his way through one public appearance after another, and it’s insufferable.  The mainstream has that quizzical look on their faces, as if they see nothing wrong.

The evidence of malfeasance is coming in a flood.  Stories are changing to fit verified realities.  We can all rest easy now that a Special Counsel has been appointed.  In reality, it’s a defensive move designed to relieve the principles, or anybody else the necessity of having to answer questions.  Who was appointed, again?  Meanwhile, the mainstream news just doesn’t understand.  

Now comes news that Biden is paying $6 billion for the release of hostages in Iran?  But I thought the U. S. didn’t pay ransom money. This is going to make news.

We half expect another indictment of Donald Trump.  Bad news for Biden is often followed by a Trump indictment.  Larry Kudlow has shown a chart that illustrates just that.  No more than a day or two passes between bad news for the pretender and worse news for you know who.  The news stations are no longer carrying Donald Trump’s speeches, but you can find them on the internet.  They better hope they get him this time, because he’s signaling that it’s no more Mr. Nice Guy if he gets re-elected.  There are so many charges swirling, surely they’ll convict him on something!  

How is this not election interference? This third world country behavior is getting out of hand.  You have only to look at the countries in South America to see that it’s not unusual for the one in power to use leverage to get his opponent locked up.  Or killed.  It’s almost cliche.  It’s starting to look like the rest of central and south America’s population is coming too.  Donald Trump says that when he gets reelected, the U. S. will carry out the largest deportation in the history of the United States.  Something like Dwight Eisenhower did, only bigger.

The Texas governor has placed big yellow buoys in the middle of the Rio Grande to block the path of migrants.  The federal government says we can’t do that, and it looks like the argument will see a courtroom.  Meanwhile, it is apparent that the Mexican drug cartels control most of the southern border.  They’re showing some long-range photos of coyotes with rifles, apparently operating on the U. S. side of the border.  

What else can befall the United States?  We’ve been sold out, involved in a war we don’t know why we’re fighting, and led by someone who’s been making loads of money from unfriendly foreign nations.  What could go wrong?  If we don’t get a few things straight, and soon, we’ll probably find out.  God will not be mocked.
