I give credit to Fox news Internet....although they probably didn't know what they were doing....as a lead story has two videos.... and in one of them the agent in charge of an ICE raid outside of a Gavin Newsome event is questioned by a reporter....and the other is of the California governor inside the event. The person in charge of the raid...politely but a little too confidently stated how he is making California safer....and that these methods will continue....apparently forever....which means that multitudes of families who made a difficult trek to America for a better life....will live somewhat in fear....forever. It made me wonder where Trump could potentially take this growing paramilitary force....particularly if he labels something an emergency? There must be better ways to do this! While Gavin Newsome....who I am no fan of....looked very presidential. Republicans....you should be worried. Also...keep in mind that Newsom's event was a political event. This could very easily be considered political....even election....intimidation. The agent in question was answering questions. I would have a question...."To the best of your knowledge....where did the idea or the order to raid a Gavin Newsome political event come from. Did it possibly emanate from the White House?" They are apparently doing a lot of hiring for these positions. Are there safeguards in place to insure that radical elements are not being considered....or are they just filling the positions as fast as they can? I would think that with Trump micromanaging everything....that radical elements might be preferred or even sought out.
Fifty-four years ago I was on the losing end of a beat down similar to that happened in Cincinatti. What Fox is doing on a daily basis is pure racist incitement. They are pounding it into our heads....(there are always articles on their news website similar to this)....that we are to fear and hate minorities. Trump thrives on this type of fear-mongering.....and evangelicals are right there with everyone else! He uses these type of stories to in effect say...."See....you better support me!"
Imagine this scenario...two large houses next to each other....a family with children in one....and a couple without children in the other. They are friends....and for decades the deal was that one of the kids would cut the grass and shovel the snow for the other couple....and in return that couple would always take good care of the family dogs when the family went away....which was often. Well the parents eventually passed away....and the eldest son went over to the couple and said that they had been taking advantage of his family for decades....where their grass was cut and snow shoveled all year.....for nothing! Reminded that they did watch the dogs....the son said that they got rid of the dogs. Trump has never been a dog person anyway. So we act like we did all of this for Europe....and other countries....and they never did a single thing for us....that we never benefitted in any way by their friendship. All that is important....all that could be seen....is that we had cut their grass and shoveled their snow....and that is going to stop.
The Ninth of Av in Israel began our time a little after noon on Saturday and ended around the same time of Sunday. It was unofficially announced during that time that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had decided that Gaza would be "occupied" and "conquered"....that apparently is the meaning of the Hebrew word that was used. Remember that Trump envisioned a Mediterranean seaside resort area....probably with a casino or two. He wanted to move everyone out....kind of like what we did to the American Indian. My prayer has been for wisdom for Netanyahu and others in Israeli leadership....and not influenced by Trump....because there is never any wisdom there.
Fox Internet news this morning has ten leadoff news stories. Three are pure racism bait.....where the readers are stirred up anew as the day begins to hate minorities....four are pure Trump supportive stories....two are celebrity news....and one of a quadruple murder. This is not the Fox news of the past....but merely a media supportive arm of the new authoritarian political system in charge today of America.
He didn't like the recently released economic statistics....so he fired the person who compiled the statistics. No doubt the person he replaces them with will provide economic statistics that he likes. This is what we have become in America.
A neighbor is selling their house after a double-whammy of tax increases. It's a very modest house....but with a lot of square feet. It's probably been the family for fifty or sixty years....but it will be bought by a real estate flipping company that will modernize it and bring people in that are more suitable to our economic status. This tariff situation in the news is similar in that legally....and that is all that matters.....we can raise these which are essentially taxes....to get more money for us....which also is all that matters. People in need of government assistance....will be getting less benefits in the future....all back door but still very legal....and that also will give us above the water line....more money.
In 1956 Khrushchev famously said of us...."We will bury you." After the Cuban Missile crisis....JFK moved nukes out of Turkey...and away from Russia....and Russia removed nukes out of Cuba....and away from the USA. Recently in response to comments made by a Russian leader....equivalent to maybe one of our national security advisers....our president moved nukes closer to Russia....and Russia announced that they are moving nukes closer to NATO. Therein is one difference in our leadership today....and the extended result of our desire....essentially for more money for us.
When I was in my early teens....a small transistor radio was the greatest thing to own. Even in 1972....Radio Shack's $7 Flavoradio....was cool....and I had one....I listened to Rush on it who was broadcasting as a DJ only a few miles away. No family that I grew up around owned two automobiles. No family ever vacationed at the ocean. No friend ever went to Disneyland....or later Disneyworld. Today it seems that every kid has an iPhone or the equivalent....that puts all the abominations of the world within reach. God has warned us over all of these years of where we were heading. The warnings are over.
Sydney Sweeney....I have absolutely no idea who she is....give me a minute to research this....OK....she is some kind of actress/producer. Euphoria? Never heard of it. I have no idea what all these news stories are of a commercial that she made....let me look that up. OK....it's definitely something that you do not want your Christian child to take notice of....because of the sensuality....and the covetousness....but that is a wasted statement....because we are part of the culture today. Here is why I am adding this paragraph. On one of his airport tarmac....take media questions....Trump was told that Sydney Sweeney is a registered republican. He repeated himself as he made it clear what if Sydney Sweeney is a republican....then he likes her commercial! There is no ideology in this man or true ethical or moral beliefs....everything is transactive! If this commercial or this politician or this person in prison is for him....then he is for them.
Keep this in mind. If evangelicals are for him....he will be for them. If they are ever to see who he is....and Pastors then warn their sheep....then Trump will not be for evangelicals!
