Weekly Update by Mark Armstrong – March 13, 2026

Greetings from Tyler,

You can’t keep up with all the details. We’re at war with Iran and they’re doing what they always do, making threats. But Donald Trump seems pleased with the way things are going. No signs of backing off. The Straits of Hormuz is a place that needs our attention. Who can forget all the claims and counterclaims, but these people don’t seem to care what the truth is. Remember Baghdad Bob?  

They’ll say anything, as I found out a long time ago. They’ll claim they’re winning with their last breath. It’s something to keep in mind as you’re reading about the war. Trump says we’ve wiped out all their missile capabilities, or almost all. You just have to hope for the best, but these people are liars.

Europe is trying to make their own deal, by negotiating passage through the straits. We, on the other hand, aren’t negotiating. The religious regime is putting on a brave face. I remember what brazen liars these people are. They don’t think they can be defeated.  Trump thinks otherwise.

The war in Ukraine has taken a back seat, but we haven’t changed our minds. Zelensky probably thinks he’s getting second billing.

The left disputes everything Trump says, but we seem to be winning. Hopefully, we know where all the missile silos are, and are taking care of them. There are already reports of dead American soldiers, but only a handful. I’m sure it doesn’t feel that way to the parents who’ve lost them. We appreciate the sacrifice, and they’ll get another chance. 

They’re shooting down missiles right and left in Israel, but aren’t you glad you’re not there.  

The left just keeps on coming, despite the scandals. They hate our President, because he’s doing the job they wouldn’t. When you look at the Biden era, what a difference! We need someone who’s on top of his game. President Donald Trump. He seems to care about us, and I recently saw a clip where he’s giving God all the credit. We hate that anyone is lost, but this is war!

The media is trying to scare us, but it’s not working. Oil prices are on the move, maybe that will do it. I doubt it. We understand that these things can’t be clean.

We’re living the good life in Texas, and I hope you are too. Donald Trump believes in God, and I’m sure he’s praying for a proper outcome. With God on your side, who can be against you? Certainly not these idiots, but they’re hardheaded. Talks can only take place once they admit they’ve been defeated.

We here in Tyler are preparing for company. The Holy Days are not far away, a couple of weeks, and if you can come see us, do.
