Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants, raves and revelations in the media from behind the front lines of a purple state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants, revelations and gratitude’s in a sort of stream of conscious journal format and, yes, there may be some sarcasm thrown in.
I have watched some more Olympics and quite honestly, I am disgusted that the Russians are not allowed to compete in the games. This, obviously, a decision by western European elites who have pushed and pushed the bear and because of their own failures at governing have once again chosen the bear to be their bogey man. Their bogey man that is used to distract their constituents while they run Western Europe into the ground with their deindustrialization schemes and quite honestly are running Europe and her culture into oblivion. In the process they are trying to drag the United States into their self-created crisis of incompetence or self-immolation or cultural suicide.
I watched some more snowboarding events and it is without a doubt, in my mind, that the judges of this once American sport are now Europeans who judge according to political norms rather than based on how good a snow border is in a particular event.
On another note how can one not praise Alysa Liu and her family’s journey to become an American and to represent her country. Congratulations Ms. Liu on your accomplishment!
I am reading about Tucker Carlson being harassed by Israeli security services after an interview of the American Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee. According to Mr. Tucker the US ambassador did not investigate his version of the events but instead took the side of the Israelis or perhaps Benjamin Netanyahu. It sure smells of an Israeli information warfare operation with perhaps the collusion of the Ambassador being run on Mr. Carlson and his crew.
Oh and by the way I read today that Ambassador Huckabee is spouting the Netanyahu line today about Iran still enriching uranium and building up ballistic missiles and yada yada yada. OK, Mr. Netanyahu, I mean Ambassador Huckabee. We know that you are part of the old guard Republicans and I would imagine closely aligned with the Neocons led by Senator Graham. I still say that if Israel wants to attack Iran, then let them. Would I rather live in Israel than Iran, no doubt and my loyalties fall firmly in Alexander’s camp versus the Persians. However, I am sick and tired of Americans being the worlds police force while our treasure is plundered by old world oligarchs and this anti Iranian drumbeat is nothing but another ploy to embroil the United States in another war that only benefits old world European oligarchs. Go fight your own damn fight and do not ask me to bail you out or protect you.
I was always a bit dubious of the grounds that the Trump administration used to support their tariffs on foreign countries and it appears the Supreme Court’s majority felt the same. Quite honestly all I have to say is so what. The Trump administration either had contingency plans in place or developed them in this eventuality and has already replaced these overturn tariffs with others using different justifications which appear to be much tighter and legal. Shoot even Justice Kavanaugh spelled out some of this. It seems the tariffs which really are not as bad as some would lead us to believe are working after all and will continue to do so. The best of it is that the tariffs support actual industry in the United States and if it comes at the expense of the banking and financial industries all that come to mind for me to say is, “So what”.
This tragic Nancy Guthrie fiasco continues in Tucson, Arizona. Everyone knows that Tucson is in control of narco terrorists and the Sheriff is an empty suit in the mold of Gavin Newsom. One cannot help but wonder if the Guthrie kidnapping is a cartel connected operation gone bad and if the Pima County Arizona Sheriff is covering for it in some way? The evidence sure seems to be pointing more and more in the direction considering the Sheriff is not using any Federal assistance. It really is too bad for the Guthrie family and my prayers go out to them.
God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere between. Additionally, forgive me for my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.
