We’ve seen competing border visits by the pretender and his opponent.  For some reason they decided that Mr. Biden should visit a segment of the border where the caravans don’t cross.  There is lots of speculation about the stiff gait and slow trudge.  Since the recent actions by Governor Abbott, the caravans have gone west, to sanctuary places.

There’s no telling what is happening in those cities.  That way we’ll never know how bad things are, because they’re reported as “white.”  For  some reason, it seems, those that hate this country have decided to turn it into the third world.  There are heinous crimes being committed and we don’t know the half of it.  Some couldn’t be hidden, and there are already some of the most gruesome crimes being committed against unsuspecting citizens.  Some of the invaders commit crimes so bad, they can’t be reported.  But unfortunately, after having canceled all the policies in place, the pretender needs more power! (s)  

The war in Gaza goes on, and it has to.  There’s no use watching an American spokesman trying to tell us what’s about to happen.  The administration is stomping the brakes, trying to direct Israeli policy from some podium.  Anything you might hear is contradicted almost immediately by the actions of the IDF.  What does it matter when an American official takes the microphone to tell us what’s up?  They haven’t told us the truth about much, as we’re painfully aware.

Dozens of rockets are being fired at Israeli communities out of Lebanon, haphazardly.  If you want to know what’s really going on you have to watch news from on the spot.  According to the Israeli military, they stand poised and ready to take on the terrorists in Lebanon if it comes to that.  We can thank the efforts of the past that the whole region hasn’t gone to war.  Things are dicey, and cool heads are rare.  

The mainstream news is playing up the suffering in the war zone, and in Rafah, the crossing at the Egyptian border.  Drone footage shows the humanitarian supply trucks being mobbed, and driving away in fear, running over people in the process.  A gun went off, and the prerequisite melee ensued.  Lastly, you see dead bodies being carried from the carnage.  

Here at home the usual political strife continues.  Court cases abound against the number one prospect.  This would be business as usual in a third world country.  The panicked administration is liable to do anything to derail this freight train.  All the polls show the pretender losing states he purportedly won last time around.  Never mind the polls.  If there are mail deliveries by semi trucks …

I’m sure you’ve heard, fires are sweeping across the panhandle of Texas.  It’s mostly scrub, but there are ranches and feedlots, and that’s the concern.  In California the snowstorms are piling up.  They’ll have to consult the record books to see if this qualifies, but I’ll bet nobody’s worried about global warming right now.

The war in Ukraine?  The surest way to know it’s not going well, despite all the breast-beating, is the fact that we’re not hearing much about it.  It was a fool’s errand in the first place.  No matter how bad Putin is, this thing should have been solved already.  Except they’re trying to turn it in to a world war, if only we understood that Putin is a bad guy!  Maybe, but that doesn’t demand we lose our ability to reason.  

We’ve got the war in Ukraine, the war in Gaza, the Houthis firing rockets and missiles at commercial vessels, inflation is eating us alive and the border is out of control.  Everyone has seen how bad things can get with inept leadership.  We all hope there’s still time to fix all that has gone wrong.  Hope everyone has a great Sabbath.

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.

The asylum seekers are seen in the images on makeshift beds constructed out of cardboard and sheets, holding their belongings close, as border towns brace for an anticipated flood of migrants once Title 42 is lifted on May 11.

Throngs of migrants were packed tightly on El Paso streets and sidewalks into the early hours, with some taking rest while lying across blankets while others sat perched on the curb.

The asylum seekers photographed in the epicenter of the border crisis appeared to mainly be adults.
