Trump, the every ready P.T. Barnum of the media and anything political,<\/p>\n

has thrown not one wrench but 10 wrenches into the inferno known as the Gaza<\/p>\n

Strip.<\/p>\n

Trump, ever one to misdirect attention from his cohort in governmental discombobulation, Elon Musk, has decided to \u201cthrow down\u201d and place the world<\/p>\n

on notice that he will consider taking over the Gaza Strip, cleaning it out and<\/p>\n

remake it into the Riviera on the Mediterranean!<\/p>\n

Now, if this sounds like the rantings of an unhinged person, it is!<\/p>\n

If Trump believes for a nanosecond that America is going to put American military, i.e., boots on the ground in such a volatile hotspot, he needs to have<\/p>\n

his medications increased.<\/p>\n

I would hate to be any American soldier sent to Gaza because the furor of<\/p>\n

the terrorist groups will be at ear splitting decibels when they proclaim, Jihad!<\/p>\n

on those troops in their land.<\/p>\n

If you look at the players in the region who have a vital interest in some<\/p>\n

minimal resolution to the Palestinian crisis caused by Israel\u2019s refusal to acquiesce<\/p>\n

to a two-state solution, no one is happy with Trump\u2019s brainless chatter about<\/p>\n

a Riviera on the Med.<\/p>\n

Even the looniest dingbat could not envision the US treasury spending hundreds of billions of dollars on both clearing out the miles of debris and then doing a complete rebuilding of the devastated area.<\/p>\n

And we have not even discussed relocating millions of Palestinians to the<\/p>\n

surrounding countries (Jordan, Egypt, Syria, et al.,) who currently, have no desire to resettle their \u201ccousins\u201d in their territories.<\/p>\n

And yet Trump rambles on like a six-year child who did not get his full nap sleep out, talking about building \u201cbeautiful cities\u201d for the Palestinians to live in.<\/p>\n

Only gradually is the groundswell beginning to develop from foreign leaders<\/p>\n

and politicos in Congress that such an idea is a non-starter.<\/p>\n

And, as Trump did with the threatened tariff wars, he bluffed, was kicked in the shins and backed off\u2026for the moment.<\/p>\n

Why? Such reckless tariffs would do severe damage to the economy and to<\/p>\n

the good will that America needs from both Mexico and Canada. For Trump to<\/p>\n

literally \u201cgangsta\u201d slap both countries with such tomfoolery makes America look<\/p>\n

like it is being ran by two jackasses, Musk and Trump.<\/p>\n

But wait! There is more! Trump and his certified clown car of ninnies and led<\/p>\n

by Trump\u2019s pitbull, Elon Musk, wants to emasculate both the CIA and the FBI!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Imagine, if you will, a depleted population of experienced CIA and FBI veterans being sacked just because Trump is still in a snit about the January 6th<\/sup> rioters at the Capitol being investigated for their publicized lawlessness.<\/p>\n

But wait! There is more!<\/p>\n

Why would you cut the public relations arm of the government known as USAID on the grounds that it is not needed! Since when is helping starving people get food, medicine and education a waste of resources?<\/p>\n

But wait! There is more!<\/p>\n

When the feckless GOP comes out from hiding under their tables in the Senate chambers and vote to approve RFK Jr., to lead the Department of HHS and Tulsi Gabbard to manage National intelligence and Kash Patel as head of the FBI, that is when the lid comes off the boiling tea kettle!<\/p>\n

Just remember to keep notes on the deleterious effects that will show up in<\/p>\n

America\u2019s health card report and increasing bad press about holes in our<\/p>\n

national and international security blankets because Patel and Gabbard are still<\/p>\n

applying clown paint to their faces.<\/p>\n

But wait! There is more!<\/p>\n

When thousands upon thousands of administrators, low level clerks, supervisors, directors, agents, supply line people, tech people, secretaries and even the mail room clerks take the offered buyouts, your services that you have come to expect to be timely and efficient will face grave dangers from the incoming personnel whose only skill is being loyal to the Big Lie!<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t it amazing what a lie can do that catches fire and spreads across the country and the opposition can barely keep up with it? It was Trump\u2019s lie of<\/p>\n

losing the 2020 election that set in motion this national crisis and the end is not<\/p>\n

remotely yet in sight.<\/p>\n

President Musk and his best bud, Donald Trump, are just in the first inning of a<\/p>\n

double header.<\/p>\n

You better buckle up\u2026 buttercup!<\/p>\n
