Greetings from Tyler,
By next week’s Update, Trump will be President. He’s already introduced subjects we’d given up on, and is putting everybody on notice. The Panama Canal? They’re probably running around like chickens with their heads cut off. He’s going to take it back? Says the rules have been broken and now… We’ll have to wait and see.
The whole world is jumping around in expectation of Trump being the boss. We have no idea what is about to happen. The idea that this global warming doctrine is going extinct and we’re about to start drilling is mind-boggling. You have to go back to the early eighties to get rid of the global warming doctrine. Young people can’t even remember a time when it wasn’t dogma.
Imagine a world where global warming is no longer an issue. They’ve been cramming this nonsense down our throats since the 80’s, and with any luck it has run its course. How are you going to get it under control, assuming you believe in it, if China and India aren’t playing ball? You’re not. It was probably a bogus theory anyway, but we’re all through being the butt of the world’s jokes. Nobody’s laughing anymore.
We just got news that the inauguration will move indoors. I bet those responsible for making sure nothing goes wrong are relieved. But I don’t think killing Trump will turn this thing around. He’s already named most of his cabinet and important positions, and they think like we do. We’d given up hope that the U. S. would ever return to its senses. The media was in lockstep.
We were so deeply entrenched that it looked like there was no going back. But here we go! All the way to the Panama Canal. My dad used to do programs on how the United States used to control the sea lanes, and the Panama Canal was a big deal. Trump looks like he wants to right many of the wrongs that have been done in the name of some righteous cause. Jimmy Carter might have been a good man, but he was a terrible president. Some have outdone him since.
The world is going to start looking different now that the United States is taking it’s rightful place in the grand scheme of things. I don’t know about you, but I think they pushed things too far. We’ve been quiet, polite I guess, but they awakened everybody with men winning all the medals in women’s sports events. You can’t even imagine getting to share the locker room with the girls. But it was just too much. Eventually everybody saw red.
Elon is scaring the Germans, and the Trump effect will be massive. Everybody better start doing the right thing, or there’s going to be trouble. Probably nobody will dare take on the United States. If they do, it will be the end of something. Trump keeps saying they’d better get the war under control and return the hostages, or “all H— is going to rain down” or words to that effect. Then he strides confidently off stage, leaving that as a last thought. They’re working feverishly on it. Probably most of the unreturned hostages are dead though we hope not. We can’t imagine the mental anguish, the degradation they’ve experienced.
In California? The Santa Ana winds come every year. Sometimes they’re really strong, like 80 miles an hour. Fires are always a concern. Drain the reservoirs and send the available water out to sea, and there’s devastation. The photos are enough to make you cry. Imagine what those people are going through.
The whole world is about to change. We’re getting another chance to make everything right.
Mark
