Weekly Update by Mark Armstrong – July 26, 2024

Greetings from Tyler,

Kamala’s campaigning amid the new reality, we don’t know what the pretender’s circumstances are.  Mr. Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel is going to Mar-a-Lago to commiserate with Trump.  I don’t know if you heard the Netanyahu speech before Congress.  It was more pro-American than anything this side of a Donald Trump rally.  

The female head of the Secret Service? They finally shamed her into resigning. Some short woman who can’t find her holster never should have been the director of the Secret Service in the first place. Apparently she thought she could survive the Trump assassination attempt. But she didn’t answer some of the questions before Congress and thought she could stare everybody down. It didn’t work. She had to resign. That she had twenty-seven years of service behind her shows how long this crazy stuff has been going on.  

There are lots of questions and things that don’t make sense.  We wouldn’t be near as close to finding answers if they had killed Donald Trump.  Nobody can say what the world would be like. Everybody would be crying crocodile tears as if they hadn’t libeled him beyond comprehension. They’re back at it. He got no respite whatever.

In the 80s a conversation was underway, and we concluded it was best to have somebody that didn’t need money in the White House, for obvious reasons.  We never expected it to be Donald Trump.  Wasn’t he a Democrat?  But you don’t want anybody near the Presidency who needs money.  There might have been a mistake along the way.

They couldn’t hide Biden’s infirmities any longer. He glitched out when everybody was watching. He knew he’d blown it, no matter the days of preparation.  When he watched the playback of his performance in the debate he had to know it was over. Now everybody’s very excited about Kamala. She’s got the cackle heard ‘round the world. A week ago she was a bad joke. Suddenly she hung the moon. Better not mispronounce her name. That would be no laughing matter. If this is the match-up, it’s going to be brutal.

James Carville, credited with helping to get Bill Clinton elected, says drop the giddiness.  It’s going to look empty come November.  He says all this “giddy elation” is going to sound pretty empty if they don’t win.

Where have we heard of CrowdStrike before?  It turns out that they’ve got contracts with the airlines, and the whole system showed blue screens, and disrupted travel worldwide.  Some of us remember the old days, where you could arrive twenty minutes before flight time and easily make it. Can you imagine looking up at the monitor to check your flight’s status and seeing the dreaded blue screen? But banks and hospitals also use their services.  We’d hate to have to hear all the misery this has caused.  Didn’t they play a role in the “Russian Collusion” scandal?  

In Paris, France they’re geared up for the Olympics, and they’ve got a couple of problems. The weather, and terrorism. The weather can’t be controlled but… Who let in all these terrorists? You don’t suppose they’d use the worldwide coverage of the Olympics to do something dastardly. It wouldn’t be the first time the Olympics were used to “get their message out.”  I remember Israeli athletes being killed in 1972. Couldn’t understand why, but now we know.  Having spent some time in Israel a long time ago I realize that they’re still singing the same song.  They’ve been brainwashed, or they come by it naturally.

P. S.  It’s summertime in Texas, and for a week the temperature hasn’t topped the low 90’s, if that.  Just a little fact to include in the global warming panic.
