The 'Paper' Chase

           All new presidents make mistakes......Donald Trump has made more than the average new president makes.....but his biggest mistake was monumental. That young progressive and socially ambitious couple Ivanka and Jared Kushner should never have been let anywhere near the Oval Office other than on a personal tour. They have blundered.....caused havoc with other very important people in the White House....and steered President Trump away from what he should do on a number of occasions.
           They should have been sent back to New York a year ago. Indeed....more than one source reported that President Trump had planned to do just that but as in everything he does....he loses interest or forgets or just changes his mind. It gets worse folks. The biggest consequences of Jared Kushner in the White House are still ahead.
            The Paper Chase was a popular movie in 1973.....about the academic and personal trials of first year Harvard law students. John Houseman won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar....and a popular television series was made....also on John Jay Osborn Jr's 1971 book The Paper Chase.
            The plot revolves around the main character's student study group. In that group was obnoxious Willis Bell. There's a line of his that I remember. As they were divvying up the classes for each student to take responsibility for.....Bell started it off....."I want Property!" He wasn't going to take 'no' for an answer. As I remember it....everyone in his family was in property law.....and he was going to take Property.
            Vicky Ward quotes Jared Kushner in her 'must read' book Kushner, Inc....Greed, Ambition, Corruption....in that when the new Trump advisers were divvying up the responsibility for the world and our nation.....Jared....just as had Willis Bell....demanded....."I want the Middle East." That's the problem friends.....Jared Kushner is in charge of Israel's security.
            Israel is probably Jared's only real passion. It's not for his lack of concern for the defense of Israel where the problem lies.....it's for his total lack of wisdom in anything....and a reputation for being absent on details....and what may be his being an easy mark for some evil people in the Middle East....and also a habit of crossing ethical lines as if his will is the only thing that matters.
            It looks as if the long-awaited Trump Middle East peace plan....this paper document....may be rolled out soon. I would advise you not to jump to conclusions at first glance....for once again....Jared's strength....if he has any.....is not in looking at possible down-the-road consequences.....or sudden unexpected events. This isn't negotiations to get the Fifth Avenue 666 property out of trouble.....and he didn't even help with that. He is choosing allies in this that can fall away for any one of a number of reasons.
         There have been no leaks so far on how this peace plan is shaping up. This whole thing is a real cause for prayer.....politics aside....Jerusalem as the capitol is nothing in God's eyes....for it will always be His 'capitol" no matter what the world does. The Golan Heights were secured without any official statements being made. What is important is that there is no skulduggery whatsoever involved in attempting to put together a peace plan.....no tricks.....no threats to Israel to get on board....no bluffing.....just honesty in this situation that is an impossible situation.....if God does not will it.....for His purposes....to succeed.
