...our enemies need not bestir themselves. Not one bit. This is one instance I did not ever want to see come to actuality and yet, here it is. It is an I told you so of bitter taste and portent. It was believed to be, seemed to be a gift from heaven, a lifesaver we sorely needed. Well, the rope was frayed and did not last long, its attached hopes and dreams falling off into the deep blue sea and well, here we are - and where is here? The White House is not an uninvolved address. Its latest status:
“If Israel doesn’t come to its senses, the price of missing out will be higher than ever before.”
Much more to come and we can only hold our collective breath awaiting further bad news. This is the third strike against us this week and three strikes and you're out is the name of the game. Most unfortunately, this is not a blown up child's game played by overpaid adults; this is a for real, life and death game where we are leaning heavily towards the wrong side, with two outs in the ninth inning.
Strike one: a one-sided deal with the Houthis wherein Israel is a valid target.
Strike two: A deal with the Saudis, as usual, talking out of both sides of their mouth. The one connected to the Abraham Accords and just exactly where is the Abraham part of this Abraham Accord? Left by the wayside, abandoned, of no account or share in it.
Strike three: A ceasefire mashed through due to Trump threats and ultimatums - with NO demand that Hamas disarm. Wow! Oh, the hostages, alive - if any - and the dead ...say what?
And here you go with strike four: recognition of a Palestinian state, from the Mad Hatter and we apparently are all late for the party.
The most frustrating thing about this is that it was all there, right before our eyes, if only we had opened our eyes. If only we had re-energized the optic nerve and the bullshit detector, but we didn't. For sure, even if on, we ignored it. We clothed his barefaced lies and schemes with the Emperor's new clothes, the very line of clothing favored by that would be dictator, Trump, the man who thinks he can rule the world and is making no attempt to hide that ambition. Not at all. Yet so many continue to rotate on their thumbs as they play monkey - see, hear and speak no evil -unless so directed by that demonic man himself.
Time and again in increasingly ever smaller intervals the signs of his growing dementia are front and center, in living color. We see it in the cruelty that accompanies his dementia. We see his incompetence. We see it in his blatant memory loss as he stumbles and falls over content and response to questions asked of him. He cannot remember what he is signing and goes far afield when responding. We see it in his insane demands upon all the nations of the world and his insanely dangerous economic policy of tariffs, a theory proven so destructive in every reawakening of it. Our economy is shrinking, prices rising exponentially, and we are standing before a very real possibility of an intense, deep recession, verging into a perhaps a not unthinkable Great Depession.
This is a man who now fumbles through every interview, who goes off track and begins to talk absolute nonsense, of no connection whatsoever to the purpose of the interview, yet his excuse makers are there to explain it all away. And he skates on.
However, though the failing economy is worrying, foremost in my mind, emanating from that man, is the fact that he is dismantling this country piece by piece at an ever-increasing pace. He has been conducting an open war against our government, our constitution, defying the judiciary and now wishes to add a suspension of habeas corpus!!!!!!.
He has trampled upon freedom of speech. He is desirous of religious education in the public schools, uses antisemitism as a hammer against education, even as he rampages through libraries and censors books which he neither appreciates, nor understands, nor, perhaps, can he even read! And all the while he does his routine job of throwing Israel under the wheels of his accursed bus!
This is the same man who, on January 6th, 2020, attempted to incite a violent overthrow of this nation, refusing to hand over power in peaceful manner, calling for his fans to do their worst, and who in open warfare now has continued to fight that same war. Only this time unfortunately succeeding. The demise of democracy in this nation is proceeding at an inordinate speed.
Those who disagree with his insanity, his brazen plans to destroy democracy, to discard all that is America, to cancel its dreams, are trashed, as are our departments, our care for our citizens, our role in the world as leader of the western nations, any and all which upset and displease this rather gross body and mind. Perhaps the very worst thing about his deeds are the ugly consequences arising from his nastiness and the myriad lies which people buy into. Antisemitism in word and deed has increased in direct proportion as his supposed campaign against it gains in vocalizations and accusations. Hmmm.
The man is demonstrably insane, erratic to an extreme, harmful to this nation and there is no 'handling' him. No sanity, no working brakes among his equally distorted and incompetent advisors of the day - even as they are discarded almost hourly. No end to the cowardice of the legislative branch, the pathetic behavior of the opposition, and the corruption within the judiciary branch, reaching up to and including some members of the Supreme Court. Only a few brave threat defying federal judges are keeping this nation intact, under the rule of law and the structure of government as defined by our Constitution.
That scares me, frightens me to the marrow of my bones. To discard habeas corpus?! What else? Where does it end? Only with his coronation? We are being steamrolled by expert liars, crazed minds, twisted souls, blackened hearts and of powerful resources. If we do not wake up, smell the coffee or whatever will do it for you, we will no longer be America. We will no longer be Americans. We will have ceded it all.
All that we have built in our yesterdays.
All the positiveness that we have allowed to drain from our todays.
All the hopes and dreams of our tomorrows gone.
Open eyes.
Declutter minds.
Hear the cries of humanity.
No time to waste.
