President Trump In The Ballance


President Trump sure is getting a swelled head.  Now he wants to buy Greenland for the United States as the first new territory in over a century or something.  You can’t blame him.  Due to global warming the island is thawing out and the place might just be habitable and real estate values could rise.  The Danish people said “No”.   President Trump is really losing it, though.  He now says that people who don’t like him must vote for him anyhow because he is the only force that is keeping the stock market up.  Otherwise it would crash, and would have crashed if a democrat were in the office.  And it will crash in 2020 if a democrat gets elected.  Of course Trump will still be the president then.  Trump is like a bratty little kid anyhow tweeting about this and that.  Joe Biden makes one of his best speeches in a long time and Trump attacks him for it calling him “sleepy Joe”.  Now the news is that refugees have to go to the territory of the Ninth Circuit Court in order to cross the border because Trump got a thing passed that no refugee could enter the USA if they failed to apply for asylum in Mexico first.  In fact I heard that if you’re leaving Honduras you have to apply in Guatemala for refugee status.   He is making it harder to get an animal on the endangered species list, too.  

In the latest FOX news poll 57% of the people disapprove of Trump.   The President is losing to Biden in the latest poll by twelve points and by nine to Sanders and seven points to Elizabeth Warren and by six to Camilla Harris.  People are saying that fifteen years ago when the Apprentice first came on, Donald Trump was pretty sharp and put on a good show.  He has faded mentally considerably in the past fifteen years.  Of course you know the news in the economy about the inverted yield curve.  This involves short verses long term interest rates fore-shadowing the next recession.  There are other indicators now that have turned negative like a recession in the trucking industry.  Fewer goods in transit means less business.  As bad as the president is in the polls now, he’ll fare much worse if this economy turns sour next year. 


.  They were discussing Israel’s aparthide policy where Palestinians can’t even travel down the same roads as Jews do.  They will be imprisoned or whatever.  For you cosmic minded people the Federation rep who talked to me said that you have to be low key about resisting the Netanyahoo government because the leadership isn’t going against Trump.  To refresh your memory from yesterday two Muslim congresswomen wanted to visit Israel and at first Israel said it was allright.  But then President Trump leaned on Israel and says he personally is opposed to their going.  So Netanyahoo reversed his position and said the women couldn’t go.  One of the women had relatives in Palestine and she was permitted to visither relatives but now she says she’s not going.  I don’t see why this isn’t one issue where the Federation doesn’t protest loudly on, but they don’t.  Yesterday Patty was saying she visited Area 51 and they have a secret underwater tunnel to sail big ships from the Pacific into the Nevada dessert.   I was just reminded of things the Federation had said before that was “If there were anything going on strange in area 51 we would have told you”.   It’s Federation territory. 

.  I had the BBC news on KCET and then I switched to the ABC network news.  China and Hong Kong were the big issues on both programs.  President Trump has not gotten involved in the conflict between the protesters and the Hong Kong authorities.  The threat is that mainland China will send in the military.  Democrats want to make a major issue of it and I agree with their desire for that.  Then it was Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune followed by that space cadet show and then Lizzy Bordon till 9:23.  I just don’t think the ghost of Lizzy Bordon is waiting to five psychics the answers to their questions.  She’s guilty as sin and let’s leave it at that.


Today’s episode could be called “Gabriel in the Balance”.  Gabriel confronted Nicole and everything she deduced about her actions was the truth.  Then Gabriel unmasked her when they got into a wrestling match.  How many people does Christin have to kill now to keep her secret quiet.  There is Zander, of course.  He’s on the verge of spilling his guts to the cops.  Then there is Tony and Anna and Gabriel, and of course Kate.  Most of these people are running scared.  She can’t kill all of them, can she?  We also have Trump in the balance.  People are pronouncing doom and gloom on his presidency including that Kuchenelli fellow.  Gary and Shannon don’t have any confidence in anything he says.  He says Trump will withdraw from the presidential race in March of 2020 when the polls show that clearly he can’t win.  The thing is that the best indicator of future actions is past actions according to Dr Phil.  And this record says that polls don’t matter now because they didn’t matter four years ago.  Now there is a new scenario where Trump will get the Republican senate NOT to certify that the next Democrat has been elected in November of next year.  It will go to the supreme court, which is, of course,  loaded with Trump judges.  People like Paul believe it’s a good thing to have right wing strong men around the world as long as their anti gay, anti abortion, and anti drugs.  It’s this whole right wing brotherhood thing happening around the world.  I mentioned the Philipines yesterday and Paul says that guy is OK.  Really the only thing missing from all this is for Israel as a nation to accept Jesus.  That way he can be truly one in fellowship with Donald Trump and Mike Pence.  They can hold Bible studies together and mix their right wing politics in with it.  I guess carrying guns to church is the new thing.  But if you preach the right to bear arms from the pulpit some say that might violate the principle of separation of church and state.  We’ll see.
