Weekly Update by Mark Armstrong – July 28, 2023

Greetings from Tyler,

It turns out that wealthy people are fleeing California.  The natural beauty of the place is hard to overstate.  But the politicians have ruined paradise.  The cities are overrun with criminality, and “homeless.”  No way the squatters could afford to live on the real estate where they’ve pitched their tent.  I guess you can live anywhere you want.  Just pitch a tent, and settle down.  The video is unbelievable.  How have they allowed this to happen?  

People are getting out, and who can blame them?  There are still places in this country where vagrants and illegals are not welcome to establish their quarters.  Who wants to have to live amid squalor?  Californians are leaving for greener pastures.

Can you remember a week like the one we just had?  The wheels are coming off the pretender’s administration.  Jonathan Turley says it’s the biggest scandal of his lifetime.  This makes Watergate look like tiddlywinks.  The list of names ripe for impeachment is as long as your leg.  There are calls for a special council, which in our experience means that we’ll find out something in a couple of years.

You know the news.  It’s as if there are competing headlines.  The department of injustice is determined to match the Biden revelations with even more bad news for Trump.  Just when we’re all wondering if Biden dares appear in public again, more charges against you know who.  It was already death by a thousand cuts.  A few more charges will surely be the final nail in his coffin.  Or, will it end up being a demonstration of just how corrupt our national agencies have become? 

There are big, maybe insurmountable problems looming.  We think we’re being punished now?  The embarrassment of what we’re about to live through is off the chart.  It’s already making headlines around the world.  It’s going to get messy.  The White House spokeslady has proclaimed that the pretender will not pardon his son.  Uh oh.  I got the impression that was the ace in the hole.  You’ve seen those knowing, impassioned looks in the photos.  I assumed that’s what that was all about.  We can only imagine what is about to transpire.  It’s going to be hideous.  

Some of us remember the humiliation of Watergate.  It wasn’t just another newsworthy event.  What apparently has been taking place under everyone’s noses is beyond anything this country has ever undergone.  

But we’re supposed to carry on.  This is the hand we’ve been dealt.  America cannot sustain the path the government, the media and the big corporations have led us down.  We’re bombarded with the modern version of righteousness all the time.  Now you’re righteous if you’re working toward equity, diversity and inclusion.  It wouldn’t hurt if you’re all about saving the planet too.

Meanwhile, we’ve been sold down the river.  What, in fact, is the war in Ukraine all about?  It seems like we’re supplying the equipment, but otherwise not involved.  It is a ridiculous charade, and accurate news is sparse.  We’ll all hope not, but there have been hints that some of the previous nefarious activity in Ukraine may have something to do with ongoing policies.  Better not.  

Do you get the impression that the United States is being punished for something?  We’re going to be drug through some pretty disheartening events in the foreseeable future.  Apparently somebody wants to guarantee that there’s no going back.  We can keep whistling past the graveyard, but the penalties for our national sins may be severe.
