Weekly Update by Mark Armstrong – August 23, 2024
Greetings from Tyler,
Sorry. I just couldn’t subject myself to Kamala’s convention speech. I recoil at the clips they play on the radio. We know what she’s about, and her solutions to all our problems, and I for one don’t want any part of it. After all the lessons we’ve learned, she wants to wield power over everybody. Price controls? They’ve got those in other parts of the world, and it doesn’t work out too well.
My Dad was a patriot. I was sorry to lose him, a lot of us were. But he couldn’t have stood what was about to happen after he died. The idea that we’d be on such a guilt trip that we’d morph into the rest of the world? It couldn’t happen. Except that’s what they want for us, a powerful government that forces all us peons to believe what they preach and accept their solutions. No thanks.
They’re talking about government controls on companies who don’t follow their dictates. Whatever happened to the free market? The government calling the shots on everything, even what companies can charge? We’ve got something in place right now that works. Nowhere else on planet Earth has our Constitution, Bill of Rights, and there’s no place I’d rather be, regardless of the scenery. They can screw things up so bad that you can’t even see it anymore.
Everything that can be done has been done. They can only see one way out, and that is to assassinate Donald Trump. They can’t beat him unless they cheat, and if they know what’s good for them they better not try. These next several months are critical. We now know, officially, that the fraudulent president is not running the show. He’s on the beach, struggling to move an aluminum chair.
Things have gone crazy on the world scene. Wars and rumors of wars comes to mind. It’s as if the United States is a non-entity, and nobody is afraid to do anything. Now they’re saying Ukraine has struck deep inside Russia, and targeted power plants. I don’t care for Zelensky. He’s globe-trotted, effectively black-mailing nations on the basis that Russia is bad. We know that, we’ve always known that. He should have been willing to negotiate in the first place, or somebody should have.
The Middle East has erupted. Look at Gaza. It’s uninhabitable, and they brought this on themselves. Apparently aid has been used to build a network of tunnels, and we’ve been worried they don’t have anything to eat. Look what it’s gotten them. Now they’re living in a tent on the Egyptian border, dependent on international organizations who distribute food. What a stroke of brilliance it was to let some of these “terrorists” satisfy their blood lust, and look what it’s gotten them. They’re running for their lives, or holed up in conditions we’d never stand for. What did they accomplish? It’s still going on. How much international aid ended up underground in tunnels? Was that our tax dollars?
It’s just like it was 40 years ago. They’re still saying the same things over and over, and it’s no more the truth than it was then. Israel is committing genocide, and must be punished by international law. You should have thought of that before you slaughtered a bunch of people partying. These guys can screw up anything!
It’s all been going on since Biblical times. God will bless as He sees fit, and it’s not somebody’s fault if he doesn’t bless you. We’re about to lose our blessings, not that we deserved them in the first place. If you think you’ve got it rough, you ought to see how they’re getting along in the rest of the world. We should kiss the ground and thank God every day that we don’t live somewhere else. There are some places that are idyllic and beautiful, but give me the good ole United States and freedom!
Mark
P. S. Sorry to some of our constituents who live elsewhere in the world. There are some great places outside the United States, and some great people. Our hats are off to them.
