Divine Intervention

 


Friends, President Trump has been prevailed upon to delete his reposting of this image of himself as, some say, a "Jesus-like figure".  Is all the outrage justified?  I leave it to you to decide.  The bigger question is: does DJT have magical healing powers, which may or may not be angelic or demonic?  The verdict is out...

In other news, Eric Swalwell, who just days ago was a darling of the Left and perhaps the odds-on favorite to be the next Governor of California, is today a private citizen, after he resigned his seat in Congress.  And, as he points out, all that was accomplished by mere accusations, and certainly not with actual criminal charges, let alone convictions.  Welcome to the Democratic Party, Eric!

In case you haven't heard, conservative hero Viktor Orban has been defeated in his reelection bid in Hungary.  He served as the country's Prime Minister for 16 years, and he received fulsome praise and meaningful support from DJT and Vice-President Vance.  Well, his ouster is a pity, ideologically speaking, but 16 years is a good run, and even a spotless right-wing pedigree doesn't mean that Orban was a perfect leader.  Clearly, his party succumbed to complacency and corruption, to a degree.  Farewell, Viktor!  Welcome to the party, Peter (Magyar)!

Lastly, our blockade against the maritime commerce of Iran is now in effect, and presumably the Iranian economy, which was already teetering, will crater in short order.  Will the mullahs care?  There's no guarantee of that, but their customers surely will, notably China and India.  The other big question, while we close the Strait to Iran, is whether we will be successful in opening it for everyone else.  If we do succeed in that, it would appear that Iran has no more cards to play, except suicidal obstinacy, which is always an option!
