Things Will Soon Be Better for Trump; A War is Coming

[Johny Joe Hold]

After so many years in politics, I have come to be good at reading code language. For example, when our heroic President Bush said Sadam had "weapons of mass destruction", I knew we would soon invade.

That is why I was delighted to read this headline today in the Wall Street Journal:

U.S. Says Syria Plans Gas Attack in Rebel Stronghold

If ever there was perfect code language for "We are going to bomb Syria" it would be this.

And what great news this is for those of us who want our great President to be reelected. Nothing is better in Presidential politics than a President managing a war.

This is such a relief after the weeks of bad news for our President.

COMMANDER IN CHIEF, SIR YES SIR! It gives me chills thinking about every Senator, Congressman and federal Judge lined up in front of the Executive of the United States of America saluting and swearing allegiance. It frankly baffles me why we didn't do it this way all along.

Today's resignation of John Bolton, National Security Adviser, was misinterpreted by the world's press. The press is saying Bolton was too hawkish and the President needed someone who was not as enthusiastic to find some place in invade.

Exactly the opposite was the case. The President knew our friend, John, was hawkish when he appointed him. Trump knows a war will be good for his reelection.

Think of W. Bush. He invaded Iraq because he thought there were weapons of mass destruction. Later Bush had to admit the weapons were not there. There was an election coming up and several pundits thought Bush's mistake would cause him to be defeated. But, no. We were in a war. Voters thought it best to stay with the current Commander in Chief because he had been handling things for four years. Reagan pulled off the same genius move with a 24 hour capture of Granada.

President Trump took note of that. With polling numbers lower than he would like he knows voters will not want to change Commanders in the middle of a war. So, he needs to get one started soon.

Bolton just could not get the job done. I'm certain the President will either get a real hawk in that position or name himself National Security Adviser and invade some small country soon.

How about Puerto Rico?

Insolence noted. Just don't be surprized when recruiters show up at your door looking for the low draft numbers.

Thank you, Dr. Toole, for pointing out the need for atheists to perform the duties of war. Young Christian men are needed here in the U.S. to father soldiers for Jesus and fight sin wherever it shows up.

How about Puerto Rico?

You occasionally display some intelligence around here Munch, which is probably why the administrators haven't banned you yet.

Perhaps you're unaware that we already own Puerto Rico, so why would we invade it? It is easy to miss, but consider that if some Cubans invaded the place with some fishing boats we would likely let them have the place. Similarly, we would gladly give up California - particularly if it was partitioned off along one of God's fault lines.

I'm a little worried about talk the President might invade Iran. A war with a country that has an army and air force is not the right choice. It's especially problematic now that Iran's Foreign Minister has pledged to fight back if invaded. Countries that fight back must be taken off the list of candidates.

President Reagan invaded Granada. It took a couple of days with no casualties on either side and did wonders for Reagan's political career. I'd suggest President Trump invade Granada again.

President Trump just took out Iran's top general. Several of us who know politics have been sending word up to the White House the President needs to get a war started. His poll numbers are not what we would like to see.

What the President did looks like shear political genius. Iran will retaliate in some big way and the war will be on. We will see all this impeachment monkey business evaporate. Pelosi will be asked, "What should the President do? Spend time talking about your silly phone call or defend our country?"

It's time for patriotic Americans to demand the impeachment trial be cancelled and rally around our President.

In this time of great turmoil with our country uncertain about what will happen next and the global ramifications of this shocking move, we need a leader to craft a thoughtful and reassuring message. Fortunately, we have such a leader.

President Trump tweeted an American flag.

https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1212924762827046918

Proving once again that he is refusing to tip off the enemy of his brilliant strategy but also that whatever course of action he takes will be what's best for America.


Im glad we have such a thoughtful and deliberate man in office.

Here it is, from the pencil neck "educated" dweebs of our "foreign policy" establishment for 2019. I've no doubt they will be saying the same things for 2020, and adding Iran to the list. As you read through it, it's all talk about "ethnic" conflict around the globe. Of course you won't see anywhere a mention of what they all have in common - that's right, the "Religion of Peace" - they are all mooselimbs causing the problems.

Don't kid yourself, John Bolton with his ridiculous looking mustache is as much a part of the swamp as the rest of them - all afraid of upsetting the mooselimbs, much less pandering to them about "democracy" (mooselimbs couldn't care less about "democracy").

There is only one person I admire that knows how to handle the mooselimbs - Putin. You have to take your hat off for Putin sending in the Russian Army to Chechnya and leveling their capital city. Trump should be getting with Putin for a summit meeting on how to finally set peace in the world as Lord knows the LIEberals aren't going to do it.

Of course the commie Democrats are going to go ballistic about "collusion" again - but it's finally time to deport them all to Venezuella.

I've visited Buddhist countries, idols everywhere, very uncomfortable. I'd rather go somewhere else and sooner or later am able to do so. One such place would be Burma, which I haven't visited. The government there took exception to one of the other idols and as it happened there was a country next door where obsession over that particular idol was effectively the law of the land.

The people involved, like me, found the Buddhist idols offensive and you'd think they'd like to be somewhere else. Unlike me, they seem to like sticking their own idol on buildings and grovelling frequently. The Burmese suggested emigration but guess what? Faced with the prospect of living somewhere their ideology ruled they started complaining!

That is not quite the approach in Chechnya but my point is how different from God's commandment regarding idols all this is. He does not distinguish between one idol and another, The Bible explains, but requires all idolators to be treated the same. I have never seen anything to suggest The President worships idols or grovels on the floor like a snurfling thing which surely gives him the high ground when assessing idolatrous regimes. I've also noticed that many of those opposed to God deny that what they're doing is idolatry.

Perhaps it's true to say that in war, the first casualty is truth. Or would that be going from the sublime to read Aeschylus?

The further genius of this assassination of an Iranian General is the effect it is no doubt having on other world leaders. Think of what little Rocket Man Kim is thinking in North Korea, "I wonder if I'm on President Trump's hit list." Or the smart ass prime ministers in France and Canada--they may be wondering too.

I think some of these diplomatic impasses we've been watching will soon be resolved.

Re: Things Will Soon Be Better for Trump; A War is Coming

Mr. Mayor, with your Executive experience you would know about sending messages better than any of us. The clear message to Kim Jong Un seems to be "Well done for getting nukes!" whereas the clear message to Iran is... but who cares what Iran thinks. They'll be kicking themselves right now (+/- help from us). The clear message to voters is that you never remove a War President. Oh that sounds so good: Trump, Civil War President.

God expects His people to be frugal and not waste the resources He has given. He did not send America a great arsenal so that we could put it in warehouses and let it rust. Rather, He intends that we use the weapons He has provided to smite His enemies, who are our enemies. We have an unprecedented opportunity now to use up our older weapons, which will still give good service, and make way for even better instruments for His will. We can still get plenty of use from the B-52's, even though they are quite old, and I believe they should be employed forthwith. Let the heathen Persians again feel the wrath of God for their sins, which are many. If there are any older weapons left over after the destruction of Iran, we can move on to California, where sin is rampant and the Lord is waiting for us to do something about it.
