Concerns Over Jordan

         Lost in the brilliance of important matters of life such as President Trump's latest administrative change are the ominous happenings in the constitutional monarchy of Jordan. Israel has relied on Jordan to at least be a buffer with much of radical Islam and to give them somewhat of a rest on one of their borders, but there are stirrings in Jordan that jeopardize this buffer and this rest.
         There was an incident...incidents really....do they really have to be described....incidents are what anarchists and revolutionaries and communists and radical Muslims use to instigate wars.....so there were a couple of incidents that have stoked fires of anti-Israeli sentiment in Jordan within the last few days and even elicited comments from Jordan's King Abdullah II that should be of concern.
         Jordan has a parliament and a quarter of that parliament voted to rescind the peace agreement with Israel and also demanded that their ambassador to Israel be recalled.
         Folks, everything is particularly ominous in the Middle East right now.....more so than it usually is. Jordan has been seen as synonymous with stability. This potential shift is where all the 'winning winning winning' verbiage of President Trump is counter-productive. This is where 'fake news' must take a back seat to issues boiling over in the pot right now that have the potential to change the entire lives of every American.
         I'll give but one example. A military draft and is in place and most likely will be reinstituted should both the Middle East and the Far East erupt. Here is where the good men of Princeton University who have recently made news with concerns about men showing signs of too much.....masculinity....may have to reassess their position a little bit. I doubt if their drill sergeants will have read their thoughts. As a matter of fact I wouldn't mention those thoughts to them. Uh...these men do know that there are no more student deferments don't they?
