Miscellaneous

Don Trump is recently divorced, and no doubt has arranged for visitation with his twelve and five year old daughters, and his three boys, ages six to ten.

As an outdoorsman, he’ll want to introduce his children to the great outdoors, to camping, and fishing and hunting and skiing.  There’s no better place for all of that than Bozeman, Montana.

I’ve got just the place for him, built by a former IBM executive for summer vacations with his five grandchildren.  He had bedrooms for each of them, and the house is set up more as a summer home than a year round residence.  Beautiful view of the Bridgers, and just a few miles north of downtown.

Don’s already spent a fair amount of time in Bozeman, I expect.  It’s the home of his two best friends in Montana politics, Senator Steve Daines ( a favorite of his father’s) and Representative Greg “The Bodyslammer” Gianforte.  It’s a great town, and his kids will love it.

And for any young man with political ambition, Montana is prime.  And, of course, all the Trumps hate Democratic Senator Jon Tester.

It all adds up.

For observant Jews and evangelical Christians  —  Israel,

For the working men and women of America  —  jobs,

For the producers  —  markets,

For the mothers and fathers of America  — peace,

For the never Trumpers  —  Ginsburg,

For nationalists  —  the wall,

For the environment  —  wealth,

For social conservatives  —  Kavanaugh,

For the investor class  — the market,

For patriots  —  strength,

And for hyphenated Americans of any origin, creed or color   — justice, or equality before the law.

I know more about the politics of the 2nd district of Maine than I do about Israel.  I’ll nonetheless predict the reelection of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.  The Iranian proxies who attacked the Saudis have seen to that.

The President’s, and America’s, inner circle of friends includes the current leaders of Great Britain, Japan, Australia and Israel.  It’s in our national interest that they all succeed.

It’s America first, but not America alone.

The Democrats running for President live in a make believe world, where burning fuel to produce energy is evil and dirty.  In this fairy kingdom all we need is the sun, and the wind.   It’s a land of puppies, flowers and magic.

The drone attack on Saudi oil production is a harsh reminder of the real world.  The world economy is utterly reliant on oil, as it has been for well over a century.  Because of the fracking revolution, we don’t need any Saudi oil, or oil from anywhere but North America.

President Trump speaks the harsh truth, and they can’t handle it, or him.

When I see Warren and Harris call for Kavanaugh’s impeachment, I come to understand Biden’s appeal.  He may be the crazy old uncle from the attic, but at least he’s not rug-chewing bat shit crazy.
