Around the Block, Around the World…So Very Much to Consider

I will keep the editorial comments to a minimum in this piece; there is a lot to think about and there is plenty of professional content to review.  The Mid-Term Elections are approaching and sucking the air out of the room.  The Supreme Court of the United States continues its struggles to interpret the ridiculous legal content of Congress, the Trump Administration, and the lower Federal Court System.  The American Educational Collective continues to wander about in search of its fundamental purpose.  While Trump addresses the world at the United Nations…the Iran Conflict grinds on…and Canada continues dating the EU.    The carnival staff has escaped and been elected to public office in Kentucky and WDC.  Technology has become the new boogeyman of the left.  And finally…while the Economy is sound, people cannot get past the high price of gas and diesel; be very careful what you wish for.  The world and our country are evolving; and it is happening quickly.

The November elections that are rapidly closing on us will be a monumental political marker in the history of this nation.  At this point in time, the anticipated climax of that event is extremely hard to predict.  There are many facets to this dynamic and only time will tell what the results will be.  Think carefully before you cast your vote…and then, cast your vote.

Foreign Policy…

 

There is the Middle East…

 

For the life of me…I cannot understand our country, many of its people, and many of its institutions.  Israel is the only nation in the Middle East that even comes close to having a government similar to America’s … and it relishes the same principles and freedoms as we do.  Yet many Americans today…even elected leaders…spew anti-Semitic venom with every ounce of energy they possess. 

 

While the Prime Minister of Israel stands to address the United Nations General Assembly in New York City and watches representatives of supposedly free nations and so-called American allies walk out … the President of Iran, the nation that has sponsored the death of thousands of Americans and is currently doing all it can to kill American soldiers in the Middle East is being interviewed as the headline guest on the FOX Special Report with Bret Baier.  What the hell is wrong with these people?

 

 American soldiers have fought and died side-by-side with Israeli soldiers.  Are we so deluded as to have become incapable of distinguishing between good and evil?  The unabashed mantra of Iran is “Death to America”.  America and Israel share military secrets, assets, strategies, and implementations as if we were joined at the hip.  We fight and die together…for the same cause. 

 

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) rules Iran with a cruel and sadistic hand.  It brutally abuses its own people in abhorrent fashion.  The medieval and Nazi-esque acts perpetrated by Hamas and Hezbollah against the Jewish people on October 7 were hideous and malevolent; they were truly beyond the pale of heinous.  War is vicious…war is hell; but October 7 was Satan incarnate. 

 

The IRGC makes no effort whatsoever to deny what it is and what its mission is.  Yet somehow…it has found legions of useful idiots to support its cause in the nations that it seeks to destroy.  Radical Islam does not strive to coexist; it strives to dominate and indoctrinate.  America today truly stands upon the precipice of Alice’s looking glass.

Someone…a human being or beings…must load the basic logic into a Super Intelligence effort, device, or system.  We should be very, very careful about precisely who does this and it MUST be transparent…

Election integrity is improving… https://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-trump-save-database-voter-citizenship/

 

The Trump Administration has competent and intelligent people guiding our economy.  It is reducing the size of government, attempting to bring fiscal integrity back to entitlement programs, and doing its best to revitalize American industry and investment.  If it would only turn this zeal and energy towards reducing federal spending…
