Greetings from Tyler,
Trump says twenty years is enough. But Iran is not being forthcoming. The way he looks at it most of us will be dead, and the next generation can deal with the situation. But Trump’s not happy about the way Iran is negotiating. But the way we’ve been dealing death to Iran’s leaders… they don’t know which end is up.
Trump was just in “Chynah”, and we’re waiting to hear how things went. China is the one country that’s continuing to do business with Iran. Surely that will get straightened out. We don’t want a war with China while we deal with Iran. China is the one place that could hurt us, but they won’t. The Bible tells us how things will play out, and we’re not there yet.
So far, peace talks with Iran have been unacceptable. The President wants pledges he’s not getting. Meanwhile, Iran menaces the Strait of Hormuz, where a good portion of the world’s oil flows. They could have done this anytime, but they’ve just gotten the daylights bombed out of them, so what’s left? I understand that we are sending oil to Europe to make up for the shortfall, but can we do that indefinitely?
Everything old is new again. Here we are in 2026 worrying about the Strait of Hormuz. We were worrying about that narrow choke point years ago. My Dad did programs about it. So far Iran has not admitted defeat, and maybe we’ll have to deal with that. I learned one thing about the Middle East: The Arabs are braggarts. I could tell some stories.
The left is doubling down. Hollywood has its cast of men who play women in movies and it’s all the rage right now. My Dad used to describe people who celebrate these movies as pigs at the trough, but who’s looking out for Hollywood right now? I guess it’s the one thing they can tout, but I don’t want to be fooled.
We’re at war with Iran, but you’d hardly know it. Gas prices are up, but at least we can sleep at night. Trump is promising lower gas prices, but the media is making hay while they can. I think most liberal media outlets are against Trump. They can’t stand him, and they’re hoping he will fail just to give them the satisfaction, and allow them to toot their horns in public. But so far so good.
Europe is building cages around its oil facilities, just in case a stray missile comes in. Who ever thought of it? They’re literally building cages around their oil storage facilities so the explosives won’t reach the oil. Maybe we should do that. Europe is where the action is, and we’re not making friends with them either. They’re outraged that Trump is such a strong leader. I’m sure his name is on everybody’s lips over there. Europe is backward by our standards. We can be thankful we live in the U. S.
It looks like America is on a roll, and the media would like nothing better than for us to crash just so they can criticize Trump.
Comey, Clapper and Brennan may yet get their wings clipped. We can only hope!
