Weekly Update by Mark Armstrong – November 1, 2024

Greetings from Tyler,

They’re going all out now. We’ve entered the name-calling phase of the race. Not only are the candidates being called every rotten creature that has infested history, but they’re giving the rest of us trouble too. The dyed hair crowd is giving us what for.  They’re calling us all Nazi’s, even shedding tears.  It’s enough to make you cry all right, but we’re not crying.  

Everyone seems to have forgotten that Trump was already president.  But this time he knows who’s who. That’s what has everybody scared. They’ve tried everything to get rid of him, and we wonder if they’ve given up on trying to kill him.  

It’s as if we have no president right now.  Anthony Blinken is running back and forth, no doubt warning Israel if they should go too far. Near as I can tell, it’s not making much difference. It seems like there’s an opportunity at present, and Israel is not letting it go. Who is going to tell them to stop? Every time a new leader of the terrorists is appointed…  Maybe Israel has somebody on the inside. The American president is sitting on the beach, we’ve got an election in the offing, and with the media in full flight we wonder what will happen.

They could have laid off, but no. Trump could have turned the government against his enemies during the first round. He did not. But they never stopped trying to get rid of him by any means at their disposal. How many “prosecutions” are going on? Some of these officials have campaigned on getting Trump.  But, so far they’ve failed to produce the results they’d hoped for. They undoubtedly thought they’d run him off, or mire him in such an abundance of legal trouble that he’d cry uncle. But they were wrong. 

Cheating the election won’t be easy this time around. We had the great covid panic last time. The news media was full of bad news, and everybody had to stay home and watch. Some places were arresting people for going about their business. “You can’t do that! Don’t you know there’s a pandemic? People are dropping like flies!” They’ve run out of things to say, and we’re not scared anymore. Now there’s no “pandemic” to blur the picture.    

We glossed over it at the time, but the pager bombs did damage the antagonists don’t even want to talk about, assuming they could. Rockets are still fired toward Israel, but with little effect. It shows that the terrorists haven’t given up, but that’s about it. They can wave their arms and shout every epithet known to man.  It doesn’t help.  

We’ve seen where all the aid went. The tunnels are blown up now, and the terrorists have fled. Somebody needs to wave the white flag, but they’re not.  They’re firing rockets to signify they haven’t given up. The Arab world never accepted Israel’s existence. Eventually some of the oil kingdoms did, but those guys are on the hot seat, afraid to make a peep.  

The war in Ukraine goes on and on. We’ll hate to see how much U. S. contributions add up to. But it’s never enough. Now North Koreans are being sent in on Russia’s behalf. It’s a mess.

Now Trump says he has a secret that has something to do with Mike Johnson. Everybody wants to know what it is, and the media is particularly interested.  He says he’ll tell us after the election, but the press wants to know so they can tell us. We’ll all just have to wait, or read the media’s speculation. After all, when have they ever been wrong? (/S)

Meanwhile Kamala’s teleprompter freezes, and so does she. It’s impossible to watch. She held a big rally in Washington D.C. and the whole swamp showed up. I’m pretty sure that doesn’t count, but at least she had a crowd.  

We’re all holding our breath, wondering what will happen. Is there going to be another civil war? If the election is stolen, all bets are off. Trump credits God with having saved his life. Some say that he’s changed since then. We’ll see what happens. I hope God is intervening on our behalf. Trump thinks so. A prayer for our nation might not be a bad idea. The coming week will tell the tale.
