\u2013 Looking Around and Looking Ahead"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Now that Ringling Brothers\u2019 Barnum and Bailey Circus has been forced out of business by PETA, President Trump truly is the Greatest Show on Earth.\u00a0 There always seems to be another spectacle starting up as the previous act finishes.\u00a0 From what I understand he has five foreign policy victories to celebrate this week.\u00a0 Israel is being recognized by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>United Arab Emirates<\/li>\n<li>Bahrain<\/li>\n<li>and Kosovo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Saudi Arabia is now allowing Israeli flights to go through their airspace.\u00a0 And just to keep things interesting the President brokered a deal between Serbia and Kosovo.\u00a0 Already two separate nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize for the President have been sponsored by individuals who preface their remarks by declaring that they dislike President Trump but admit that he has already done more for world peace than Obama ever did either before or after his empty win of the Peace Prize was awarded to him.\u00a0 Joe Biden claims that President Trump is achieving these victories by accident!<\/p>\n<p>The President is crisscrossing the country to attend campaign rallies that draw huge enthusiastic crowds and of course, he is tweeting away on all the most important and even some quite trivial events.\u00a0 He really does have an energy level that is hard to imagine for a man his age.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile even Biden\u2019s strongest advocates admit they haven\u2019t yet figured out how they will make their candidate attractive enough to convince millennials to vote for him.\u00a0 Well, they did get him out of the basement and all the way to Pennsylvania last week.<\/p>\n<p>As I said it\u2019s an amazing show.\u00a0 And it should keep even jaded political junkies such as me completely engaged right up to Election Day.\u00a0 Of course, there are plenty of other side shows to keep us watching.\u00a0 They\u2019re not as amusing.\u00a0 The spectacle of unending rioting in Portland is not a pleasant sight but it is important.\u00a0 A poll of Oregonians shows that 66% disapprove of the riots and 60% think the Mayor of Portland is doing a poor job of ending the protests.\u00a0 Now if a state as blue as Oregon is unhappy with their unending riots just think what purple states like Colorado and Nevada must be thinking of their \u201cprotests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ongoing COVID lockdown in the Northeast remains a good story to remind the country of what shutting down a large portion of your small business community does to economic health.\u00a0 New York has lost tens of thousands of jobs and when combined with the disruptions caused by the rioting is hardly recognizable as the dynamic business and cultural center it once was.<\/p>\n<p>And the remote teaching model being used in the schools in the Northeast has been a nightmare for working mothers.\u00a0 Many of them are attempting to re-enter the office environment after six months but have to work around a schedule where their children are home at least three days a week.\u00a0 Employers say they will accommodate these changes but problems have cropped up on all sides.<\/p>\n<p>Then we have the looming specter of voter fraud through the use of mail in ballots.\u00a0 The Democrats hope to drag the voting process out for weeks and possibly months.\u00a0 And they have been talking up the idea that President Trump will be ejected from the White House by troops.\u00a0 Oh, those Democrats love their drama.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Bill Barr teases us with announcements of rioters and agitators being arrested.\u00a0 Sure, he arrests some of the worst actors but nothing is done to prosecute Antifa and BLM as organized crime groups using the RICO laws.\u00a0 And we\u2019re not hearing much about the Durham investigation anymore.\u00a0 I guess now that his end of summer deadline is blown, we can\u2019t expect anything to come of the effort.\u00a0 I was glad to see that the feds went after that rat that murdered the Patriot Prayer guy in Portland a week ago.\u00a0 But I guess it has to be something as egregious as murder on camera to get much of anything from our Justice Department.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that\u2019s a snapshot of the world around us.\u00a0 It\u2019s a madhouse in every way imaginable but we keep advancing down the road one step at a time.\u00a0 My advice is don\u2019t be surprised at anything that happens but take every news report with a big grain of salt.\u00a0 As the President is fond of saying a lot of what you hear is fake news.\u00a0 And regardless of the outcome in November remember that it\u2019s up to each of us to decide how we will live our lives and who we will spend it with.\u00a0 There are millions of good people out there and we can achieve an enormous amount if we don\u2019t get discouraged and if we think clearly about what we want to accomplish.\u00a0 I have spoken with many people out there and we\u2019re learning that we aren\u2019t alone and we aren\u2019t at the mercy of the Woke Left.\u00a0 It\u2019s a pleasure writing this for anyone who is looking for a bit of news and a positive thought from someone on our side of the fence.\u00a0 Have a good day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that Ringling Brothers\u2019 Barnum and Bailey Circus has been
