Did you ever wonder whether during the night someone stole you and set you down in some bizarre, upside down world? Did you then realize that, unfortunately, that did not happen? More challenging Is the realization that this crazed manic world is the world we all inhabit, basically stuck with, like it or not. But really, some of the nonsense that goes on, some of the things that pass as news or items of great information are ridiculous, going from the sublime to the to the ridiculous and then some.
Why do we find it necessary to tell people that one does not imbibe boiling water in any format? It hurts. It burns. It leaves scars. Enough? And yet ... there goes another scream. Sigh. Why must we put out great big signs to tell people to cross highways ONLY at specific spots...Bam!! Here comes the ambulance or the Medical Examiner? Sigh again. One should not have to warn teens not to elevator surf and the same for subway or bus surfing. Definitely not conducive to a long life, is it? Yet there they go again ....and there it is again. More sirens. More blood. More tears, Sigh again.
We are slipping and sliding way down the slope of stupidity in a slalom we are losing, crashing into every gate. We don't even realize what hit us and worse, we trudge back up to do it all over again, whatever "it" is. I suppose it is why a Department of the State of Florida issued a warning of over 400 reasons why one should not pet an alligator particularly when drunk or in any other compromising situation. Really? Perhaps we could have simplified it and boiled the verbiage down to this: see gator - run away. Fast. And what the heck were you doing or thinking? Or not thinking!
Now you did not seriously think this would be the end and be all, the topic of this entire blog, did you? Really? Truly? perhaps hopefully? Sorry, for of course there is more. So back to my favorite topic at hand. How can you begin to understand the thinking or not thinking of both ignoramuses and those who knew better and should know better, to avoid the festering mud of the Trumpian experience? And yet, another deep dive into this stinking morass and for sure no one, divers and onlookers, will not emerge clean, free of this stink of that mud. No healing mud spa, but mud of only negativity and wrong, of hate, of a lack of morals, and yes, danger. Much more even than approaching an alligator to make nice to it when you are drunk.
At least the alligator has no personal animosity, for you are merely dinner. However, Trump et al all seem to have that personal animosity and constantly are refreshing it with words meant to hurt, insult, with threats and even actions of great harm to others.
A man born is arrested as an alien as he enters Florida to visit his mother. he is jailed. An incarcerated man is deported. Mistakenly. Perhaps erroneously, perhaps not. Deprived of all rights even as Trump defies the court order to return the man to America. That defiance is a constitutional crisis Would any other person skated on this action. No, but then again, this man has scared the bejezzus out of all members of the GOP, broken their spines let alone their minds.
He states he's with Israel and has pried some hostages from Hamas. Not really, for this is the workways of Hamas, whatever benefits them. They are as hard-hearted as the Pharoah of Egypt. If they truly were so frightened of and by the hot air spewing forth from that man's prissy little mouth, they would have released Eden Alexander, the only remaining American hostage, only 19 when taken and brutalized. But wait! Trump's recycled negotiator reassures us that Eden is in a good place for if he catches cold Hamas and Islamic Jihad fear the consequences. But not too much as starvation, torture of mind and body of a manchild, 19 when taken, does not count for as much as a cold. Heaven forbid he catch a cold!
Trump's threats are proving to be as empty as his head. He is more concerned with increasing his personal wealth than he is with the condition of the world, especially his own country. This is the same country whose economy he has broken, where people who once had a path for life are now being shoved off that path and nobody cares, for Trump has the entire GOP cowed, pacified. There's no moral spine remaining and they are afraid of Trump as the big Bully of the schoolyard. Time to give the bully a taste of what he dishes out. We are not playing in schoolyards any longer. His threats are empty, mean nothing, even as he holds Israel at the end of a leash. Ordering them not to bomb Iran for that would sabotage his deal making. The same deal that is not only harmful to America but also of existential danger to Israel. Nope. And rest assured that Eden is in a good place. Hamas has assured thus to that recycled worse than useless negotiator from America.
Worse to follow, for I am now ever more convinced that in his devious demented mind Trump has a policy inimical to the Jewish people. I am ever more confident that this huge plan of his, shutting down universities, threatening them, wanting total control over them, yes, goals yes, but also a method by which he can exacerbate the antisemitism of the world, certainly of the American people. As he uses that “battle” it merely exacerbates the whole issue. Not only has the antisemitism not decreased, but it has ramped up exponentially into toxic rabid Jew Hatred and people around the world, nations around the world are now clamoring to stop arming Israel, to decrease their power. To that I state been there, done that. It will be ugly but we, the people of Israel, the Jewish nation, have faced this before, known worse, undergone worse, but we are here and are eternal.
So history has proven.
So G-d has promised.
Yesterday, today and all the tomorrows.
