We subscribe to one of the popular 'meal-kit services.' Once a week a package arrives with two meals that my wife likes to make and I like to eat. So from the day that the package arrives....throughout the week....to the arrival of the net week's package....those two very different and tasty meals are at least somewhere in the back of our minds.
There is a similarity here to news cycles as we are in the DACA news cycle this week. Last week it was the IG Report cycle and the week before it was the summit cycle. Some say that Bill Clinton invented this what is sometimes called a '10 day' news cycle during his own impeachment problems when constant distractions were needed....and coming one after another would be best.
Donald Trump modified and expanded upon this 'wag the dog' strategy. He doesn't wait and hope for a news cycle as he instigates them himself with his tweeting and then schedules regular pep rallies to keep his base angry, excited....and too busy to ask troublesome questions. He is relatively quiet right now as the mainstream media and new conservative/Trump media are fighting it out over the Congressional vote coming up. He'll jump in when necessary....and when Rush can no longer make excuses for him. He won't care one bit but he'll sure sound like he does.....that's his talent.
North Korea dominated the headlines back in April and May of 2017 and again in August and then of course again earlier this month. Moving Israel's embassy took its turn as did the G-7 summit....and various Syria bombings. I wonder if conservatives have noticed that abortion or same-sex marriage or the $21 trillion time bomb national debt have not been talked about in quite a while. That's because these issues do not serve Donald Trump's purpose....as a matter of fact they could be roadblocks to his plans.
A year ago at this time a graduating cadet at the United States Military Academy made news by writing 'COMMUNISM WILL WIN' inside that beautiful cap and then posted a picture of it. In another instance he pulled open the triple-breasted buttons on that time honored uniform to reveal a Che tee-shirt. It was reported today that he left the army with an other-than-honorable discharge and will probably become a spokesman for the Left....which is a cute little nickname that we like to use for Communism.
Communism is the source of most of America's problems today. It advocated powerfully against God in schools and we see the results of that everywhere. It fomented feminism that is about as anti-women as anything can be. It seeks to divided America along any lines that it can....DACA children being the most recent. This other-than-honorably discharged Second Lieutenant should be a wake-up call to even those Americans who have up till now bought into the deceptions of Communism but the media will continue to hammer President Trump on anything and everything....real or imagined....and President Trump will continue to hammer back.....while conservative talk radio will tag along and continue with its other-than vigilant discharge of the news.
Folks....Donald Trump is good at getting rid of anti-business regulations and on nominating judges. His biggest attribute has been that he is no Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton....but his weakness is that he is short on ethics and has no real wisdom....this was evidenced in the North Korea summit....and now he has his inexperienced and not to be trusted son-in-law dealing with Israel's security. He doesn't seem to want to learn anything....for he thinks that he learned everything he needs to know while building his empire. Except for a couple of conservative radio talk show hosts who only wish that they could kiss his ring....most must think that this is what we got and we have to make the best of it. Only Christians can fully understand that what we are doing is placing our trust and our hope in a man...a prince.... and in a worldly prince at that....and in our own power....and not in Jesus Christ alone! President Trump is going to be tested beyond that which street smarts cannot be of any help. By not challenging him we are enabling him....in essence giving him no opportunity to actually consider his circumstances...and his mistakes and frailties....so that he would show some humility and fear of God that might give him the wisdom that he will need in the days ahead.
