Most of us have found some tranquility.  But that can be interrupted by seeing most any news report.  Much of the time, it’s not even news reports.  It’s someone angrily preaching some woke philosophy.  They’ve got Trump trials lined up for the networks to report on.  Nine person panels take turns giving an inside view, with Trump guilty whether proven or not.  Isn’t it exciting?  

It’s a good thing Trump has been indicted, and is facing trial in four jurisdictions. Now they’ve got all the details to sift through and opine about.  They just can’t be bothered with the news that there appears to be proof the pretender accepted money to tweak U. S. policy as Vice President.  Remember when he boasted about “getting the prosecutor fired?”  Why did he publicly brag about that?  Maybe he knew it would come up sooner or later and was signaling that it was just another day at work for a man of his stature.  Well, it has come up.  

Now there are reportedly thousands of e-mails under assumed names, many of them to his son.  The contents have been described as outlining U. S. policies, and sent in advance of their announcement.  Now back to the Trump charges.

It seems like everything that could go wrong for the country and the world has gone wrong.  We’re shackled to the never-ending embarrassment, and thinking surely this guy isn’t formulating complex policies!  Our border is so overrun, I can’t stand to look.  The Texas Governor Abbott has floated large buoys across the Rio Grande, and the government is suing to make them go away.  So here we go again.  How dare the governor try to secure his state.

When we first heard about it, the busing of illegal migrants to New York and other “sanctuary cities” seemed like a gimmick.  But it’s gone on and on, and now New York is wondering what they’re going to do with all the migrants. 

The United States appears to be under sustained attack from all directions, and we’ve got a pretender who tells stories about how he almost lost his corvette and his cat one time, to people in Maui who have lost everything.  The fire has spawned conspiracy theories as you know.  We hope to live long enough to find out what really happened. There apparently weren’t any sirens, no messages on cell phones.  It’s a complete disaster, with unknown dead and smoldering rubble in what a month ago was paradise.

Thank God the Florida hurricane was not as bad as predicted, but then, what is?  We get run over by things we don’t even believe in.  No doubt people are suffering the aftermath in the hurricane’s path, but it could have been worse.  

Don’t risk a peek at the mainstream news unless you want to be furious in seconds.  They’re  preaching white supremacy on CNN, it’s their main thing.  Aside from attacking Donald Trump from every direction.  Maybe I’m wrong, but I suspect these trials will be an opportunity to make public things the mainstream has not wanted to report.  Just a guess.  These prosecutors who got elected promising to go after Trump legally are probably going to rue the day they decided to go for it over such a thin pretext.

Meanwhile, the world is spinning out of control.  Russia is making overtures to Iran.  We’re on the brink of war with China, and we’ve got a “president” who’s completely out of touch and trotted out to say everything is under control.  But Ukraine is a  quagmire, and we’re firmly on the hook.  Nobody dares mention any who might take the pretender’s place, because the “family” isn’t convinced he can’t continue to run interference for years into the future.

We’ve got a mess domestically and internationally, and we’re worried about satisfying the demands of the philosophy that’s become mainstream.  It looks like the nation that fulfilled God’s promise to Abraham has gone off the deep end, into all manner of hideous persuasions.  May we remain faithful, and sane, as we WATCH this thing unfold.

Maui county sued the Hawaiian Electric company on Thursday over the fires that devastated Lahaina, saying the utility negligently failed to shut off power despite exceptionally high winds and dry conditions.

Witness accounts and video indicated that sparks from power lines ignited fires as utility poles snapped in the winds, which were driven by a passing hurricane. The 8 August fire killed at least 115 people and left an unknown number of others missing.

A spokesperson for Hawaiian Electric didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

Had the utility heeded weather service “warnings and de-energized their powerlines during the predicted high-wind gusts, this destruction could have been avoided”, the lawsuit said.

I guess you saw the procession in Atlanta, with the fake eyelashes and the wig that thinks she’ll be a superhero once she wins notoriety as “the one who took down Donald Trump.”  They just hate him.  If you listen to a recent speech, you know why.  If he ever gets back into power, it’s going to be glorious.  No More Mr. Nice Guy.  He thought he could play nice in the beginning.  He was content to be polite and let sleeping dogs lie.  That’s before they stabbed him in the back, coming from all directions.  He had bad advice, and didn’t know how corrupt everything was.  Now he does, that’s why the media and the deep state can never allow him anywhere near power.  

Popular stories are now circulating insisting that the Constitution prevents Trump from ever holding public office again.  We’ll see.  Maybe you didn’t see the dog and pony show in Atlanta.  The procession, led by  Fani Willis, made me nearly apoplectic.  She thinks she’ll be the national hero who brings down Trump?  In her dreams.  They think they’ve got Trump where they want him.  They better hide their eyes.

The news from Maui is heartbreaking.  We don’t know who or what to believe.  Was the water shut off?  Did underground pipes melt, meaning no more water pressure?  Some of these idiots are using woke talking points in times of tragedy.  Save the planet?  Never mind the hundreds who can’t be accounted for, there are considerations of equity and inclusion.  (Sorry)  There better not be any woke excuses for what’s happened in Maui.  Talk about turning paradise into Hades!  

The worse the news gets for the pretender (Big Guy) the more indictments for you know who.  They’re busy prosecuting and convicting Trump on all the woke network TV channels, and giving short shrift to the news that we apparently have a president who’s sold U. S. policy to our enemies.  Glenn Beck said we’d been sold for 33 cents a head.  Maybe that was in jest.  It was probably more.

The prosecutor who had a sweetheart deal struck down by a judge has been named Special Counsel in the Hunter Biden probe. That inspires a lot of confidence! (Not)  Maybe they can make it all go away.  Many crimes have already gone away, thanks to the statute of limitations. They just couldn’t get to them in time.  They’ve got all the time in the world to go after Donald Trump, but Hunter?  It was all on the up and up after all.  They never lied about anything, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

You know the news on the dollar.  Our enemies are trying to make transactions that avoid the U.S. dollar, and you know what that means.  We’ve got more crises than we can keep up with, and the deep state doesn’t want any interference.  

We’re having all kinds of speech outlawed, on account of hurt feelings.  This is America, where we can say anything we want, NO MATTER WHAT.  You can’t yell “FIRE” in a crowded theater of course, but there’s no shortage of suggestions about what Americans should be allowed to say.  It’s a good thing the speech police aren’t at my house.  We’re in danger of having the whole nation devolve into anarchy.  It’s not clear that’s not what they want!  

We are blessed beyond comprehension.  Unless we realize where those blessings came from, and why, we stand a chance of losing everything.  God save America.
