Weekly Update by Mark Armstrong – January 10, 2025
Greetings from Tyler,
Things are already happening fast and it’s not even January 20th yet. The last of Trump’s “criminal” cases was closed today, but not without giving the media something to crow about. The charges stand even though Trump doesn’t have to do anything, they can still call him a felon. Let’s see if they dare.
If you haven’t seen the video of Trump cracking up Obama at Jimmy Carter’s funeral you should. Lip readers have been trying to figure out what was said, but none of it makes sense to me. The point was that Trump was joking around, making Obama laugh, and Kamala, sitting in front, was none too pleased. I’m sorry that Jimmy Carter died, but where are you going to see Trump making Obama laugh?
We’re all in a laughing mood. It looks like the nation is going to change direction, but not before near destruction.
The fires in L. A. are breaking out randomly. I grew up in Pasadena, and well remember the Santa Ana winds. They blew all the smog away. But they’ve been whipping up fires this year, some of which may have been set by arsonists. There’s some video that would lead you to that conclusion. If somebody went around starting fires in the wind… And it appears somebody did! You don’t suppose we have people who don’t love the country?
Destruction like this has ever happened before in L. A., whole neighborhoods burning down. The winds come every year, but they’ve been so busy saving the planet and some little fish, that the fire hydrants have no water. They’re worrying about people’s pronouns instead of fires. That’s all about to change. Maybe not in L. A. right away, but the crowd not doing their jobs is about to be out of work.
Some neighborhoods look like Hiroshima after the bomb. Who knows if they’re insured, but there’s enough damage to break insurance companies. I imagine people who lost their homes aren’t too happy. It’s enough to make you cry. They’re worrying about all the wrong things at the fire department.
You notice, we’re not hearing all kinds of preaching and caterwauling about fairness and equality these days? The next generation is going to look back on this time and wonder if we were all crazy. How dare we not speak up? We are among the few who have spoken up about all the craziness that they’ve tried to foist upon us. We’ve always rolled our eyes at this stupidity.
But maybe our prayers have been answered. Makes you wonder how close we have to come to losing it all before making a change. We almost did. The left was about to cram everything down our throats to make their point. If they only had a point.
It appears God has looked down in His great mercy and decided it’s not time. I’ve been hearing about the “gun lap” since the late ‘60s. It looks like we’ve got more time to get things right. We should be more than thankful.
