It’s shocking to think in the year 2025, people could be convinced into thinking the rapture is about to occur. I think my favorite rapture story is the Christians on the hill on December 31, in the year 999 about eleven forty-five local time. They were praying and singing, certain Jesus would return in about fifteen minutes. Obliviously unaware that Jesus used a different calendar entirely. But, but, but the calendar says 1,000 years exactly. So, it must be!
They were illiterate, uneducated and could be excused like a rube from out of town from not knowing a fraud when it looks at them eye to eye. Taken from a historical perspective. How many times have they predicted the rapture and the end of the world? Hundreds! How many times have they been correct? Right! So, the odds of failure this time are about how many one hundred percent?
I completely understand and concur about a possible ending of the world. I’m just not ready to hop on board the magic, make-believe train just yet. With Trump as President, you have to consider everything on the board as a possible option. Thank goodness the media is not telling you. You might be frightened if you knew. Instead, let’s talk government shutdown!
Or better still, let’s not talk at all. Word is on the hill, says MENSA microbe candidate Mike Johnson has been told no negotiations by the king. Setting up an Oval office meeting and showdown starring the King! With a huge cast of characters! Bright lights, big city, look at me ma! I’m on top of the world! It’s all about me, ma! Me! I’m a big shot now, ma! They could have settled it last week. But I wouldn’t let them, ma! I’ll settle it ma! I’m the big shot around here. Me! Who? Me!
Trump is all set for an Emmy award-winning performance as the tough talking president! In his one man show entitled, “It’s All About Me!” He needs a lot of distractions right now. Lots of bad press to cover up. If the new congressperson from Arizona gets sworn in, she’ll sign the Epstein discharge petition. Mike Johnson needs to find a way unconstitutionally to keep her from being sworn in. And wouldn’t it just be Trump’s luck if World War 3 preempted his big show?
NATO is operating air activities in Europe on a war footing. NATO air bases see a steady number of arrivals and departures with air tankers circling close around the potential battlefield. Waiting, patrolling, and ready to shoot down any Russian incursion. The Russians are in a bad way. Fuel shortages will lead to food shortages. And food shortages lead to angry mobs with torches and short tempers. Fuel shortages are a signal of the collapse. Factories can’t run and bakeries will have no flour.
The Russian government is well aware of NATO stockpiles of weapons made available to Ukraine. But as the war goes badly for Russia, that knowledge begins to turn bitter and bite. Knowing your adversaries, sit right across that line smiling innocently as they send tens of millions of dollars in weaponry to kill your soldiers. And there is nothing you can’t do about it.
You could threaten to expand the war. You could test NATO’s prowess and resolve with aerial incursions. You could pick on the small countries like Denmark and Estonia to see how NATO reacts. Let NATO believe this might be the beginning of World War 3 and see how they sleep nights! See if it won’t grab somebody’s attention.
Now, if you’re Vladimir Putin, you understand this is about life and death. This war has gone on far too long for a negotiated settlement. Without complete victory, Putin is a dead man. The precursor to any solution in Ukraine save a complete Russian victory is the elimination of Vladimir Putin. There is no limit here. No retirement age and no escape.
We interrupt this previously scheduled phony White House budget negotiations to announce World War Three! All generals and admirals in Virginia for Pete Hegseth’s little motivational talk about loyalty, return to your outfits. Do you know what Fudd’s law says about loyalty? It says, “If you have to ask for it. You ain’t getting it.” It has to be earned and can’t be demanded or bought. It can be rented, but not bought.
86 proof Pete’s speech is telling. It tells us there is an amateur is in charge. It tells us the administration is having problems with the military. It tells us the amateur knows nothing about not telegraphing his issues to the enemy. Calling all the generals and admirals to Virginia was a massive mistake, upsetting the entire chain of command of US forces worldwide for friendly pep talk. Not just a pep talk but friendly threat talk, too. “Get it through your thick skulls. We’re in charge here now!”
It’s almost like a tsunami wave growing behind them. This Administration doesn’t like foreign policy much. They don’t like it at all. They like parades and carriage rides and staying overnight in castles and such, but don’t do well with nuts-and-bolts negotiations. Trump failed in Ukraine; Trump failed in Alaska. Trump has failed in the Middle East. When the provocations first began, and when Poland declared NATO article four consultations. Trump waved and said, “You boys handle it yourself.” Signaling to Putin that now is a good time to try and break the NATO alliance.
In 1944, the Nazis staked all on the battle of the Bulge. The war was already decided, but Hitler felt if he could divide the allies and disrupt their logistics and convince them, the war would go on indefinitely. He could win a negotiated settlement. It was a risky plan with little chance of success, but they were desperate. They were suffering from severe fuel shortages! Russia is strangling. Don’t push a wounded man with nothing to lose too far, but worse, don’t ignore him, either.
