You don’t need me to tell you we’ve had two major attacks here in the U. S. this week. They still haven’t gotten to the bottom of the one in Las Vegas.  Why didn’t the guy get out of the Cybertruck?  What about the incident on Bourbon Street?  These monsters are over here!  

You know the time for talk is over when the terror starts. We’re only two weeks from Trump regaining the presidency and things are already underway. Hamas or whoever better be releasing hostages or there will be trouble. How crazy must these people be? They’ve been driven off, their top level commanders killed, and they’re still firing the odd rocket to signal they haven’t given up. They better get their ducks in a row. Arabic pride is off the chart.

Things are beginning to happen fast. We can only guess as to what is going on in the Middle East.  It appears the terrorist threat has been pushed back, and all the do-gooders have gone quiet.

They’ve gone quiet over here too.  Do you suppose they’re planning something, or are just out of gas?

It seems to me that God has looked down in His mercy and decided that we ought to have one more chance.  Would Grandpa Armstrong ever be surprised!  We were in the gun lap when I was in high school. They never saw Trump coming. Dad never did either. Would they ever be surprised!  

Man has had the power to destroy life on earth for eighty years. Thank goodness it’s never happened. We were pretty sure it was only a matter of time before the United States went down the tubes. Now, we’re pretty sure there will be a revival. Trump better have good security.

Our grandkids are going to read about what went on during the last twenty years and wonder what on earth? Everything got so crazy! How did we ever put up with it? In years future, people are going to look back and wonder where we were. We’ve seen the trajectory and we’ve just had a course alteration. The world will no longer be kicking around the U.S.A. Quite the contrary.  

Justin Trudeau thought he’d run down to Trump’s place and make nice.  He probably wonders what he was thinking.  Of course he got humiliated when Trump told him he could be governor after the U. S. takes it over.  But, that’s not going to happen.  Now it looks as though he’ll have to resign. You can’t react too quickly when it looks like something is about to happen. Trump plays the long game, and some interim decision might just be setting the table.  

First the wars have to be stopped. Israel seems to have the one in the Middle East under control. But the terrorists are not suing for peace, they would rather die. So that’s what is happening. The Bible tells us what we’re dealing with.

The war in Ukraine is worrisome. We’re giving Ukraine missiles and they’re firing them deep into Russia?  That’s not going to continue.  Trump says he’s going to try to stop it, but there will have to be negotiations and you know what that means.  Everybody is going to have to give up something. The whole thing seemed unnecessary in the first place. But Trump is saying there hasn’t been such carnage since WWII.  

It looks like we’re going to have some good years here in the U. S. I hope they don’t release all the secrets at once, but it’s about to begin, and I’m sure God knows what’s going on.
