Greetings from Tyler,
Now Zuckerberg is in trouble. Turns out that his company was working out algorithms to snare Chinese people and I don’t know what all.
Will Trump get revenge on those who have not been very kind, in this case maybe someone who sold out the country? I guess a court with all the information can figure that out. They thought Trump was down and out for good. Every kind of lawfare was unleashed against him, and now he’s in charge. Maybe if they’d have laid off, let bygones be bygones. But no. They tried to bury him. It would be nice if everybody would just go about their business, but now it’s time for a founding principle to take hold.
I know everybody’s tried to make nice. It was a who’s-who at Mar-a-Lago, so many people were showing up we could scarcely keep track. But everybody’s not off the hook. It’s going to be hard to watch, but justice may be coming for some big names. If they sold out the country for corporate profits, good luck to them.
Trump has the whole world jumping around hoping to stay on his good side. Things are being turned upside down, and needed to be. This thing with USAID is unbelievable. Our tax dollars have been sent overseas for stuff we’d never sign up for. We’re going to be finding out information we’d just as soon have done without, some reprehensible stuff. I’m not going to detail it in the Update. No way I’m letting that in my mind.
The usual suspects are running rampant, for now. They’re crying crocodile tears over some man who got deported. They’ve got his wife, and she’s beside herself. One guy, and not a particularly nice one, got swept up in the deportations. We all feel the wife’s pain, but her guy was not exactly pure as the driven snow. The media’s all up in arms, crying for his return to the United States. Maybe both of them should be deported! We’re not the world, I don’t care what they sang at Disneyland, we’re the United States and proud of it. We’re no longer a dumping ground, the words on the Statue of Liberty notwithstanding. Maybe the French saw this day coming.
Have you ever seen everybody so energized? Either they are outraged at Donald Trump’s decisions, or they’re trying to make nice. Maybe he won’t notice. The media is trying to equate Donald Trump and his team with the mafia. They’ve tried to make something out of everything. Maybe they’ll find something, eventually, but I doubt it. What do you do about a man (several men actually) that can’t be bribed? We’re in uncharted waters.
The whole world has been turned upside down, and nobody knows what to do. Rich men who love the country making the decisions? How good does it get? The democrats are losing their minds. They never expected that they were so out of touch. They thought they’d just keep turning up the heat, and there’s no denying that we are long-suffering people, but they pushed it too far. If you watch a Trump interview, like the one with Oprah, you’ll get a glimpse. He was a much younger man at the time, but we were spending like drunken sailors and the financial system couldn’t stand like this forever.
They’re crying over the circumstances just now, and no doubt there’s going to be some pain. The wild gyrations of the stock market are causing losses for Trump supporters. But if we survive what Elon is doing and play along we’re going to be glad we did.
I thought we were done for, the damage was irreparable. And it might have been, but it’s a whole new era. We’ve got geniuses looking out for us, and the heartbroken breast-beaters are crying in their beer. I don’t know how things are going to turn out with Canada. They were inclined to look upon Americans with jealousy about the election. But that was before Trump suggested we should make Canada a state. Now I don’t know how they feel. It turns out that there’s some trade imbalance that Trump wants straightened out. Uh oh. We’ve always been friends with Canada, and we’d like it to stay that way. But business is business.
You don’t know what’s going to happen in the Middle East. Trump means business and they know it. He’s given Israel free reign. Everybody better straighten up and fly right, or there’s going to be hell to pay. Literally.
Here and there they’re still preaching the nonsense we’ve been putting up with for all these years. I don’t think that can go on much longer. Forty years later, we’re not scared anymore, I don’t care what Al Gore says.
