Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called “Putin on the Precipice.”Even though Yom Kippur has passed, as Jews, we always believe that there is time to walk back from the precipice. Thus, with the risk of “nuclear Armageddon” now the highest in sixty years since the Cuban Missile Crisis, there is no time for Putin to waste in ending this needless war in Ukraine and the proxy war with the West.

This Afghan withdrawal and the Taliban overrunning the country is a complete fiasco.
– 20 years of blood and treasure: $2,000,000,000,000, and 2,500 lost US military personal and G-d knows how many casualties (oh, about another 20,000)!
Now complete and utter chaos, and a turnover to terrorism.
Reminiscent of Iran’s overthrow of the Shah and the U.S. hostage crisis for 444 days and when we lost Vietnam and the helicopters frantically evacuating US embassy personnel from the rooftop.
BTW, what happened to our “Red Lines” on chemical weapons in Syria?
Where are our inherent values and the dependability of who we are and what we stand for?
Now we are once again emboldening Iran, North Korea, China, and Russia.
Moreover, US Admiral says China is within 6 years of potentially taking Taiwan (guess where most of the computer chips are made and we already have a shortage)!!!
On top of this we have the Delta variant of Covid (and fears of worse coming) for this 1.5 year long pandemic with the CDC mask on again/off again non-sensical guidance.
Then we have a $1,200,000,000,000 infrastructure bill and a $3,500,000,000,000 social welfare bill in the works to put on top of the US already almost $29,000,000,0000,000 national debt.
Any ideas what that will do to the value of the US currency in the world and inflation rearing its ugly head.
I am starting to see a run on food and home stables in the stores again with items sold out.
Consumer confidence is shaking and the stock market is teetering off at a very high precipice.
Oh, don’t forget the border crisis which is getting out of control again.
What the F*** is going on here? 😉

Eleven minute walk along Fort Lauderdale Beach.
Crazy during Spring Break!
This country in between crises letting off steam amidst:
– Multitude inner city shootings
– Racism and violent riots
– Anarchy at the Capitol
– Our sovereign borders being overrun
– Chaotic Covid pandemic
– Ridiculously out-of-control spiraling national debt
– Deteriorating relations with superpowers Russia and China
– Nuclear escalations with Iran and North Korea
– Another horrible election
Who will save this country from itself? 😉

Lake Needwood last Sunday.
Seems so calm and peaceful.
And unfortunately then comes the storm. 😉

This is when on the Washington D.C. Mall there were high kicks and not riots.Â
It was a carefree spot and not a war zone.
The city wasn’t filled with anger but with hope.
Politicians weren’t giving each other a kick in the ass every day, but rather reaching across the aisle to try and get something done.
The country was trying to go forward, but now it’s having trouble keeping up with the problems caused by China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran.
Then we stood tall and wore our colors proud, today we wonder about the crisis of the day and what tomorrow will bring. 😉
