Most of the readers here....not all....would not be familiar with a major television event that happened in November of 1983....a two hour film called....The Day After....that depicted a nuclear war between the Soviet Union and the United States. The film centers around families in Lawrence, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri....and the farmland around those cities. The TV event was a really big deal....and we all....just about....sat around the television that evening. The film was brutal....and stark....and at times numbing....but necessary for Americans to at least consider. President Reagan watched it....as did just everyone else in Congress. The USSR even broadcast it. Lamentations gives a similar depiction in just what it looked like in the dystopian aftermath of the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem. You can boot this up on your computer in a minute....and watch it if you so desire.
The phrase....rock and a hard place....doesn't do this situation justice. The fringe left of the Democrat Party is slowly becoming the mainstream. This is having a terrifying affect on Republican voters....for as bad as they know Trump to be....they cannot completely tear themselves away from him. So what came first? Did the radical Dems....out of fear....produce Trump....or did Trump....out of pure disgust for him....produce the radical Dems of the past decade?
Trump likes to point out that....in his opinion....if the Dems did not cheat him out of a victory in 2020....that he would be gone by now. There is another way to use the same principle....if we had not been taken in by Trump in 2016....maybe Hillary would have won....and then she would be gone by now....maybe even....because of Covid....served only one term?
So the reflecting pool....the Fourth of July celebrations in general....was one of those things important to Trump....along with the Ukraine and Iran....but it turned out to be PR disaster. Someone other than Trump had to get the blame....so that blame went immediately to vandalism. Interior secretary Burgum made the charges...and DC US Attorney Pirro....a longtime Trump worshiper....brought indictments....and Trump was happy in his element of righteous rage. MAGA was fed the raw meat....and resting in the sun on the Ellipse....but then Pirro looked over the evidence....and saw that there was none....and whatever the real motivation might be....to her credit....she came out and admitted that the whole thing was botched....and dropped the charges....on the man....the enemy....raked over the coals for a month. Trump predictably hit the ceiling on hearing this....but Pirro showed up with proof of the botch...and who knows if Trump will fire Pirro or Burgum or find another way to get at the 'vandal?'
There are thirteen friends and former fellow workers and family that I know of....that died because of Covid. Fauci and Redfield and Deborah Birx are professionals at the top of their field....and did yeoman's work in a most difficult situation. They wanted testing....Trump did not.....the professional's opinion vs the politician's need. What we are viewing with Fauci is a show trial....just one of many things to be ashamed of in America today. Trump took the fifth more than 400 times in his civil fraud investigation....but our taking the fifth....and our whistleblowers....are good things.
The latest absurdity....apparently there is a public golf course in D. C. where the average golfer can go for as little as $17 a round. Trump wants to turn it into a world class golf course....and he wants to start soon. He has done things like this his whole life....as when he said that the East Wing would not be touched by construction on the new ballroom....and then the bulldozers showed up. The bicyclers are angry also because the new course would take their bike path. Folks....it's not only on things like construction....for this quick maneuver before anyone gets the chance to complain is pure Trump.
Europe....Ten....(10)....countries joined together on Monday.....July 13....2026....and formally established what they call the....Integrated Anti-Ballistic Missile Coalition. Those ten....(10)....countries are Denmark and France and Germany and Italy and Netherlands and Sweden and Norway and Spain and Ukraine and Britain.
The following is the past paragraph from a July 5 post...."There will be a solar eclipse on August 12,,,,cutting a thin swath from Greenland ....to Iceland....and then northern Spain....but before that will come the Jewish fast day that looks back on nothing but tragedies to the Jewish people....this called the Ninth of Av....(Av being the Jewish month)....or as it is also known....Tisha B'Av....and this year the date is July 22. Considering the extraordinary turn of events in an already evolving maelstrom....it's a date to at least give us a solemn awareness of the times in which we live."
Paul Washer gave the Session 10 talk at John MacArthur's....Shepherd's Conference....back in March of this year. He raised some eyebrows of the 5,000 plus men in attendance when he somberly but matter-of-factly said...."John MacArthur is dead." He then paused and repeated that statement...."John MacArthur is dead." You might just be eternally blessed if you listen to that message. Just Google....2026 Shepherd's Conference Session 10, Paul Washer. On second thought....I'll add it here for you...
