The training regimen for the Green Beret has been news for the last few days. The question being....are we lowering standards for political correctness....thus lowering the capability of our military. This has a concern for many of us for a couple of decades at least.....but what I've written about in these posts is just as serious if not more. Imagine.....(I'm using that word a lot lately)....imagine what a military draft would look like today.....(and a draft is coming folks....and parents should think about that....so that if nothing else they might truly seek God's wisdom for our country....and students should know that four year deferments are a thing of the past.) So.....considering all the mind-boggling....almost unbelievable news about our culture today.....news that twenty years ago would indeed be thought totally and utterly impossible....imagine....just imagine what a draft would look like....what the implications to our society would be....and to our military....and thus our national defense....that is if this cultural shock is indeed real....and not news over-hyped in order to be influence more than information.
Multiple sources are reporting that Ivanka will help choose the head of the World Bank....if she's not choosing a lipstick shade that day....I think that's her other professional expertise. That's better than actually being the head of the World Bank which was mysteriously floated last week....or ambassador to the UN which was last month. Her influence with her father....in the Oval Office....is well known.....even President Trump mentioned it....and two years after the fact....our giant defenders of conservative values.....could not care less.
I check Rasmussen's 'President Trump Job Approval' poll every weekday around this time. (10 AM) As to how accurate it is compared to the many other polls.....I don't know.....but it's every weekday....and it is consistent. I posted not that long ago that we need to see the 'approval' figure go down. It had been as high as 51% while 47% has generally been the lowest it settles at. So it generally fluctuates between those two numbers.....and you can depend on the President or Rush mentioning it when it hits 51%. It has been dropping in the past week or so. Today's figure was 43%....and unusually big dip. The higher figures encourage the President to continue on....'being Trump'.....hopefully the lower figures will show him that there is a problem here....with the eventual decision of his....being not to seek a second term. Most will blame this dip on the government shutdown....maybe....and maybe conservatives are starting to see who our President really is? Note: 44% on Monday 12/17.
President Trump recently said that he found it "hard to believe" that there was a Congress and a President who had approved the "ridiculous" immigration laws that we have. Hard to believe? He would only have to go back five and a half years to his own words in a July 22, 2013 CNN op-ed "....the solution is clear....we have to leave borders behind and go for global unity when it comes to financial stability." Schumer and Pelosi and the President do not change their opinions over time....as much as change their tactics.
As always I hope that you might consider passing this web address on....to anyone....local talk show hosts....legislators.....pastors.....family. Even if you think that the thoughts in these posts are ridiculous...pass them on....for someone else to get a good laugh.
This shutdown and border security debate is a farce. It was originally estimated that it would take at least $25 billion to build a wall that kept threats to America out. All of a sudden that figure dropped to $5 billion and no one even made a fuss. Whatever they come up with.....check every jot and tittle.....and mark it down on your calendars to check in the future to see if they are even doing the little they will be promising....and check and double-check the small print on any deal that this President may make. This President has to be checked on everything he does....every day....and every hour of every day.
Fifteen Democrats did not vote for Nancy Pelosi for Speaker.....including Congressman Conor Lamb who represents the district that I live in. Only six Republicans did not vote for the Establishment's nominee Kevin McCarthy.
How about this post in all caps from yesterday....."HAPPY NEW YEAR To EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE HATERS AND THE FAKE NEWS. 2019 WILL BE A FANTASTIC YEAR FOR THOSE NOT SUFFERING FROM TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. JUST CALM DOWN AND ENJOY THE RIDE. GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING FOR OUR COUNTRY!"
It's the standard explanation.....'excuse' would be a more accurate word.....President Trump made the mistake of bringing Republican establishment types into the White House from the beginning. That is the understatement of the year.....but it is so incomplete as to be totally misleading. Yes....President Trump brought people in who did not share his campaign MAGA agenda....but why did he do this? Is he that stupid? If he is then it should be admitted.....which it never is.....for we are told that he's a genius. Did they they just let him down? Folks....they didn't let him down. He knew exactly what he was getting. His MAGA agenda was really just one thing....make America great again....according only to his definition to what 'great' means. To him it means a powerful economic juggernaut....with him alone taking credit for it. Judges are needed for this....so we got the judges.
Many economists have been sternly warning for a while now that the stock market is overpriced. It's been in these posts a number of times. It was also reported that senior advisers to the President strongly warned him back in 2017....with graphs.....how a "massive debt crises" would hit no later than the time when he was about to leave office. His response...."Yeah, but I won't be here."
I was doing a little Internet research on 'positive thinking' and came upon this from 2008....where Rush Limbaugh was commenting on his show about a Barack Obama campaign rally in Houston. It was a long commentary but within it was this...."Now I saw there were 20,000 people there, and they were mesmerized. I mean it's a cult. That's what I'm telling you....revival, whatever you want to call it. It's a cult, it's a personality cult. These people who are showing up for these things are investing all this hope in Obama, not in themselves. Hope, like I keep telling you, hope is an excuse for doing nothing." Rush is speaking here of a political hope....and would not include in this the hope that the Bible speaks of....but he did err greatly in telling us to put our hope in ourselves....and we ourselves erred in putting our hope in a man. There are many biblical verses concerning hope....I'll just pass on this one....Romans 12:12...."Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."
China and Russia know that Donald Trump thrives on news items where he can claim victory of some sort. China specifically takes advantage of this often. They will purposely give a little here or there....knowing that President Trump will run with it and claim a great victory....which he will....all the time they are putting their pieces into place on the chessboard where they are hoping to someday say...."Check"....which would be a 'Check' heard round the world.
Kim Jong-un recently returned from his fourth trip to China since his meeting with President Trump. He would have been told in these meetings in China....what tact to take....what he can give up....how far he can go in his rhetoric....and how far he cannot go....and all this according to the overall communist longer-term plan.
