An Obvious Outcome

If you put hundreds of troops and even more law enforcement officers from various Federal agencies on the streets of the nation's capital, crime will go down there. Saturation policing works every time it is tried in reducing criminality in a particular locality, but unfortunately, there are not enough National Guardsmen to duplicate this tactic in every DemocRAT city beset by violence at the same time. 

Back Biting Ninnies

Can you imagine that there is still such a thing as an "anti-Trump Republican"? Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins spring immediately to mind. As do Thomas Massie and increasingly Marjorie Taylor Greene, who rebel against the President because he is striving to strengthen allies beyond the border of the United States. These ideologues and/or dolts attempt to thwart Trump as he is saving their own political party, the nation, and the world. 

Biden Would Have

The shell of the former President being manipulated by the cabal propping him up would have committed American troops to the Ukraine as would Kamala Harris if she had prevailed. It is only Donald Trump who has staved off World War III with Russia. 

Zelenskyy Will Not

The leader of the Ukraine will not cede one meter of his nation to Putin. He may offer a referendum to the Ukrainian People, but I am not sure they will vote to give an inch either. Some conflicts are simply intractable. 

Ukraine Will Give?

Any territory Kyiv yields is seen as surrender to an aggressor and bully. Zelenskyy is inflexible because the patriots of the Ukraine demand he continue to defend sacred land. If Zelenskyy compromises now in the slightest, Ukrainians will remove him from power and quite possibly from the living. 

Washed in It?

He fell from a grace height// Because he refused to do what was right// We all deserve a purgatory// Because there is sin in every story// But none is so bad they can't be redeemed// Regardless in life of how much they have schemed

A Sinner's Fate

You probably will not receive that which you desire and perhaps, not even what you require, but you should pray you do not suffer what you deserve, that mercy and grace would be held in reserve. Beseech the Lord to spare you the eternal consequence that you have earned. 

Remember Pearl Harbor

The security posture of the United States must be at its highest as Trump meets with Putin. A bad actor, possibly acting in concert with Russia or even under the orders of the Russian dictator himself, might well pick that moment to strike America, when they would think our guard might be down. 

Will Anybody Pay?

I bet in the end there are no legal consequences for the conspiracy to "get Trump". The Deep State protects its own. Statutes of limitation have already lapsed in many cases. The "Swamp jihad" against MAGA has not prevailed, but the perpetrators will get away scot-free. 

Finally Some Rain!

It seems to be feast or famine in regard to precipitation in my home state of Tennessee. We had not had any rain for many days. Yards were turning from lush green to fading brown. Then, in the overnight hours, we had it pour down, threatening floods. We are not in the grip of "climate change" now though, just the erratic weather patterns I have witnessed over and over again across seven decades. 

Ford's Corporate Suicide

Ford has gone all-in on electric vehicles. Unfortunately for the company, the American people are not embracing electrics. They have reservations about one day trips with three five minute fill-ups becoming two day journeys with six hours of charging time necessitating an overnight stay at a hotel or bed and breakfast somewhere that becomes an expense and time commitment that with a petroleum-powered vehicle would not have been incurred. Not to mention that even with government subsidies, this type of vehicle was not selling, and Trump is ending Federal support for alternative powered vehicles and going back to drill baby drill. So Ford, which has been losing massively on electric vehicle sales, is committing two billion dollars of corporate money to retooling plants in Louisville and Michigan to produce electric trucks that few people will ever consider purchasing. In a capitalist society, you can't force folks to buy what is impractical to their needs and that they do not want and with government subsidies drying up, will put Ford under in short order. 

The Military Deploys

The Trump administration is bringing troops into Washington to combat the epidemic of violence in our nation's capital. This is an excellent move that probably should have been done sooner. I wonder if my home state Governor Lee will heed this lesson and send the National Guard into the crime-beset city of Memphis to pacify the streets there. Tennessee deserves safe cities and that deployment would make our second largest city safer than it is now. 

Same Old Titans

I know we just endured the first preseason game and that these early contests do not count in the standings, but my hometown professional football squad looked listless, lethargic, and directionless as they were pummeled by Tampa's reserves. All the plaudits when Coach Callahan was hired about getting the best offensive line coach in the deal with his highly acclaimed father have meant less than nothing as Will Levis became a human tackling dummy behind a woeful offensive line, and the son is vastly worse at his job than the Dad. You would have to be a masochist to buy a personal seat license to this pitiful team which may well be on the way to "earning" its second consecutive number one pick. Tennessee's pro ballers remind me of Vanderbilt in the decades of bad old days where you just knew unless the Commodores (or back then-"commode doors") were playing UT-Chattanooga, they were going to lose. It costs vastly more to be in the Titan's stadium, and the boys in Columbia Blue will not be playing the Moccasins. 

Not a Genocide

There were attempts at genocide in the Middle East. They were aimed against the Druze of Syria. Prior to that, the effort was targeted to destroy the Alawites. Before that, the target was the Jews on October 7, 2023. One group NOT selected for extermination has been the Palestinians. Israel is not starving the people in Gaza. Hamas is. Hamas and its allies tried to murder or abduct every Jew they could during that dreadful pogrom that claimed more Jews than any day since the Holocaust ended. The Palestinians have had the power to end the incursion from the day of their attack on Israel. Hamas could have returned their hostages and laid down their arms and that would have stopped the conflict. Instead, the jihadists decided to use their coreligionists as human shields and cannon fodder, while stealing food aid and using it themselves or selling it back to civilians at extortionate prices. To my now former friends on Facebook who are shouting their indignation at Israel, the Jews did not start this fight, but we will not allow our women to be raped and our children butchered. Israel will survive and the Jewish People thrive. 

Guns and Butter

The welfare programs of the 1960's did wonders for the American family. Prior to LBJ, almost every home in America where children were present had two parents, but good old Lyndon managed to take a huge number of fathers out of the equation. In this addition by subtraction, women lost a man to help keep children on the straight and narrow, but received checks from their government instead. Thank you President Johnson- you had a huge hand in making the United States what it is today. 

Solving Washington's Crime

Our nation's capital is beset with street violence. The reason for this starts in the home, where all too often the father has been banished in favor of a check from the government. Then, with discipline lacking, truancy and delinquency start and a gang becomes the "family" of a boy with an absent dad. To restore order, I would hold the parent (usually the mother as the father is not in the picture) civilly liable for the crimes of her minor children and penalize her criminally for her son's unexcused absences from the public schools. Then, I would impose a curfew at nine at night on minors on weekdays during the school year and one at ten pm during school breaks and weekends. These steps would not be a panacea but would help. 

The "Jew Card"

All of a sudden, Marc Elias, another agent of chaos working against MAGA, is pulling the antisemitism card in the same manner Soros has. Soros is a beleaguered Jew when he wants to be but not the kind of Jew who would stand up for Israel or Jews under attack. I do not think most or even many were aware attorney Elias even was Jewish, with only the really politically-aware knowing Elias has a hand in almost every election case that ends up harming the interests of Republicans. I am Jewish myself, and consider the Soros brand of Jew an ardent foe of the Jewish State and no advocate for the Jewish People. 

A Bizarre Concept

George Soros is NOT a "self-loathing Jew". He has for decades lavished himself with the best that money could buy. He simply seems to hate other Jews, those who have any affinity for our own People and/or the Jewish State. 

Soros Beyond Criticism

It is odd how anytime you criticize Soros, you are called antisemitic. Soros has a constant mad-on against Israel and sold out his fellow Jews to the Nazis during the Second World War. He is not exactly a paradigm for Judaism. 

Force for Chaos

In the United States, in places where money distributed into certain hands exacerbates the situation, somehow Soros seems to be involved. Now that "facts" about the Russia Hoax are emerging, it appears Soros even had a grimy hand in that. Is there no aspect of America that this old instigator does not try to sully? 

Cabal Against Trump

The forces that aligned against our President are as real as rain, and include the not-so-objective media. Even now as evidence documenting a conspiracy and soft coup is released, it is being ignored by the press except for FOX News and certain conservative sites. Hillary Clinton initiated the Russia Hoax. Obama picked up the ball and ran with it, and Biden stumbled through his participation in this offense that was not merely aimed at Trump, but against our nation! 

Tariffs Still Bite

Trump's plan is NOT a perfect one. American stocks are taking a beating today. I pray that countries compromise now, rather than initiating a tit for tat trade war that ultimately harms consumers everywhere. Trump is obviously right in principle that trade must be fair, and he has demonstrated flexibility and a willingness to compromise, but he will not tolerate us being exploited by other countries anymore.
