You can thank Trump

Trump's the guy who got the ceasefire done in Gaza.  In spite of all the back-slapping and self congratulating being done by Biden and Blinken, they accomplished nothing.  It was only thanks to Trump's threat of all hell breaking loose if there was no ceasefire by the time he took office.  That scared the livin' bejesus out of Hamas, so they got it done.

I wrote a letter to the editor of 'The Globe and Mail', which, being so aggressively anti-Trump, was not published.  Here's what I wrote:

"Dear Editor,

"If any credit for the deal to halt the fighting in Gaza is to be given, it has to be to Donald Trump.  Although President Biden claims it was thanks to months of U.S. effort, fruitless though they were, it was incoming President Trump's declaration that if a deal wasn't in the works and hostages released by the time he took office, all Hell would break loose.  

"Whatever one thinks of Mr. Trump, there's nothing like a mortal fear of the mighty U.S. military to get everyone rushing to the table looking for the nearest pen."
Frankly, I thought it deserved to get in, but it didn't.  God forbid anyone at 'The Globe' give one ounce of credit to Donald Trump!  Frankly, I think they google me and panic at my blogs.

If you have YouTube, do yourself a favour and watch 'Plank of the Week' -- a delightfully irreverent podcast featuring leading broadcasters and journalists discussing insane issues in Britain.  It's hilarious!  

At first, I thought they were Monty-Python spoofing, but they are actually covering real life political craziness!  Kier Starmer is a favourite and wins often, thanks to his tone-deaf, automaton "leadership" of Britain.  They have a great time and it's screamingly funny.

They also appear on another podcast entitled 'Clash of the Titans', where they again weekly tear apart politicians -- this time on a Saturday night enjoying a glass or two of grog:

Julia Hartley Brewer and Jeremy Kyle on 'Clash of the Titans'.

    

Julia, Jeremy, Michael Graham and Kevin O'Sullivan.

Why can't the MotherCorp do something like this?  All they offer is 'At Issue', with three boring talking heads, moderated by the odious, silly, giggling (and ever-fattening) Rosemarie Barton.  It's all so uninformative with absolutely no reality whatsoever!

There's turgid Andrew Coyne, banging on about...whatever....along with rabid Separatist Chantal Hébert, flanked by the always boringly, politically-correct and self-important Althea Raj. 

None has an original thought in their egomaniacal heads!

Bring on the Titans!
