Okay, It's Not an Invasion

I was calling it that when several thousand of them were advancing on the border with what appeared to be the intent of overwhelming the border guards and forcing their way into the country.  Turned out they were not that well organized.  They did make a couple of half hearted attempts but were easily turned back with tear gas.  Since then, the number of illegal border crossings has steadily increased, more of an infiltration than an invasion, but the results are the same.  The system for processing asylum requests has indeed been overwhelmed, and most of those being caught and released will probably never show up for their hearings.  Trump's Wall might slow them down, but it won't stop them.  It's a case of too little too late, but it's better than doing nothing, which appears to be the agenda of the Democrats.  What's needed is the repeal or amendment of the asylum law.  That law was intended to handle the occasional defector from the Soviet Union, it was not intended to deal with one of the largest mass migrations in human history, which is what this is if it isn't anything else.

I seem to remember Uncle Ken telling us about Trump doing the Sabre Dance with the leaders of Saudi Arabia.  I'm not sure what the Sabre Dance is exactly, but it sounds like some kind of male bonding ritual.  While Saudi Arabia is supposed to be on our side, I never really bought that story.  It is a strict Muslim country, and I have never heard of a strict Muslim country that didn't want to drive Israel into the sea.  They might be kissing up to us at the moment because they want our money or more weapons or something but, as soon as their alliance with us no longer serves their interests, they will drop us like a hot potato.  I remember Uncle Ken saying that's what nations do to each other, which may be true, but it's not what nations are supposed to do to each other.

I spent time on Wiki tonight trying to dig up some dirt on David Rockefeller, but the worst thing I could find was that he was an internationalist, and I know that Uncle Ken thinks that's good thing, so that doesn't help my case.  The question still remains, why didn't Nixon destroy those tapes or not make them in the first place?

Sorry to hear about Old Dog's injury, and wish him a rapid and complete recovery.
