Now you're just being funny. Or, are you a corporate toy, a billionaire's play thing, like the economy, and the environment, and the rest of us common folks?

I'm just being funny huh? Surely you don't think I expected to see a sudden renaissance had occurred for you?

Let's see if you can keep up here. The court jester is funny until he gets put in charge. At that point the jester's tomfoolery, which prior to was idle ridiculousness, rises above existing law and corny mirth suddenly becomes the stuff of nightmares. But then, I am loathe to mention the past 8 years even in digressive terms until this coming Jan 20th.

But I'm not kidding myself. Lou Dobbs believes for example that Mr Trump came along at the right time in history, and will save the republic. I differ with that and am sticking by my given analysis. The US is going down the drain. I just think that where frothing liberals wanted to see Hillary keep the ship of state headed straight for the whirlpool, Trump will slow the process down and our country has a chance to remain out on the edge, in the calmer waters of history yet a little while longer. What that means in real terms remains to be seen. I am nonetheless thrilled to see the left awash in denial, and the one thing about all of this which I find joyously uplifting is knowing that 'the people' rejected the lunacies of the left last November 8th. That was worth the price of admission.

But back to earth and sober reality. Government have already taught millions of people to look to them for life's necessities, and thus the seeds of socialism have sprouted and taken root in our society. Expecting millions of citizens to repent, begin seriously looking for work and gain a legitimate love of country overnight is asking a bit much. And then there are the weightier matters of prophecy coming to bear. As I have said, God's timetable cannot be amended and from what I can see, things are close.

I can't say I think anybody really knows what is going on with the Secretary of State appointment, John Bolton should be the default no-brainer pick in my view. The duties of the US Secretary of State include 14 major categories, only one of which deals with international commerce. If you ask me, Bolton would be able to adequately delegate such responsibilities to a department head of his choosing. After 8 years of suffering under Hillary and John Kerry, a novice is the last thing we need to lead in the current global pressure cooker of international affairs.
