Greetings from Tyler,
Did you see the look on Trump’s face when he saw the crown that had been gifted to him? The media is as snotty as ever, especially the British press. But then they are in their glory with news of Prince Andrew. It’s not pretty. The Prince Andrew saga is nearing its final chapter. He’s been stripped of all his titles, and thoroughly disgraced. I’ve been a skeptic, but it’s starting to get real. The British press is merciless.
Trump is traveling the world and who can keep up? You probably saw the photo of the crown they gave him in South Korea. It only gives the media comfort, they’re already calling him a king. But he’s traveling the world and on a mission. He wants to be known as the greatest president ever.
Trump is jetting somewhere else, accepting gifts and asking nicely, and that’s an order! Nobody in their right mind wants to be on his bad side. Every nation on earth is talking about building a plant in the United States and that’s because Trump is playing hardball and nobody wants to be on the wrong side.
The Caribbean has been hit with hurricane Melissa, Category 5. Roads are blocked and rubble is everywhere. No lights, no phones, roads are blocked. It’s terrible, but the people seem resilient. Already there are videos showing the damage and the cleanup, which will take years.
I’ve been to some of the islands. My Dad rode out a hurricane, I think in Jamaica, and experienced the eye passing right over. He said it was calm as could be, and then they had to shelter again. There’s probably still rubble left over, but now there’s more.
Who knows what’s going to become of Ukraine? Zelensky thinks he’ll play hardball, hoping Trump doesn’t make an independent deal with Putin. I’m trying to decide between Zelinsky and Putin. I don’t like either. Trump is making both uncomfortable.
Up until now the government shutdown has been largely academic. But weeks have passed and people are starting to worry. A bunch of handout programs are about to be bust and you wonder what they’ll think of next.
God has blessed us beyond anything the world has seen. We don’t even feel envious when we hear how the “stars” are living. I bet we’re sleeping better.
I almost forgot. It’s Halloween and time to spend a night with the porch light off.
Mark
