So, my heating system maintenance contractor claims to have a replacement part to make all my problems go away.\u00a0 But the guy who really knows what he is doing isn\u2019t available until Wednesday.\u00a0 Wednesday it is.\u00a0 Cold showers until Wednesday.\u00a0 Whoo!<\/p>\n
Well, let\u2019s see.\u00a0 Inside their terror campaign the Palestinians are desecrating the bodies of murdered Israeli women.\u00a0 Netanyahu says they will pay a terrible price.\u00a0 He has his work cut out for him.\u00a0 This has the potential of being the straw that breaks the camel\u2019s back.\u00a0 I wonder if the Israelis will decide to empty Gaza.\u00a0 It would be horrendously provocative but what else will be effective as a defense against these kinds of attacks?\u00a0 The only other solution is retaking Gaza and policing it which is also a daunting prospect.\u00a0 Wait and see.<\/p>\n
More and more as the world spins out of control the situation in the United States takes on a surreal aspect.\u00a0 Currently we aren\u2019t engulfed in war and destruction.\u00a0 Not yet.\u00a0 But the tyrannical forces that bring war to the streets of Beirut, Jerusalem and other flash points, we begin to see it demonstrate its power over the American people through lawfare and voter fraud.\u00a0 Antifa and BLM become the shock troops in a way that is not wildly different from Hamas and Hezbollah.\u00a0 We\u2019re all living in a world becoming increasingly radicalized.<\/p>\n
Will that change?\u00a0 Could Americans successfully pull back from this undermining of the values we depended on to make our lives normal and stable?<\/p>\n
Possibly.\u00a0 But not surely.\u00a0 Probably not even likely.<\/p>\n
We may have crossed over some tipping point where there are just too many bad guys breaking things and not enough good guys trying to fix them.\u00a0 But we\u2019ve got to play the hand we\u2019ve been dealt.\u00a0 There\u2019s no choice.\u00a0 We watch the events playing out in crime ravaged cities and the halls of Washington DC as awful public policies and nonsensical or even malignant belief systems cause enormous damage to millions of individuals and the fabric of all of our lives.<\/p>\n
But the real problem isn\u2019t even with the Left that spreads these problems.\u00a0 It\u2019s our side that has failed.\u00a0 Our leaders are compromised.\u00a0 It\u2019s our children who believe in these false values and policies.\u00a0 They\u2019ve given up on the things that made life wholesome and productive.\u00a0 That is why I doubt this can be fixed.\u00a0 So that only leaves the option of watching and doing our small bit and protecting ourselves from the fallout from the crash.\u00a0 A grim existence.<\/p>\n
The basset hound puppy is getting big.\u00a0 She\u2019s teething horribly and some of her teeth have already fallen out, but she bites Camera Girl\u2019s hands relentlessly.\u00a0 But she\u2019s enjoying raising the crazy little dog too much to complain.\u00a0 I on the other hand put on a pair of cowhide gloves whenever I\u2019m in charge of her.\u00a0 She\u2019s a rambunctious creature but there is an infectious energy when you\u2019re playing with a puppy.\u00a0 It does make you feel more alive.\u00a0 So, life goes on.\u00a0 Even surrounded by crazy people overseas, crazy people in our cities and crazy people running our government we still do the things we must.\u00a0 And try to find some joy too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
