PEACE OF MIND
Donald Trump, a reality star, felon and who knows what else, is president of the U.S. and in the lyrics of that 1980’s Tears for Fears song would now like to rule the world or at least be awarded the Nobel Peace prize. While I don’t necessarily disagree with his actions, his immature bragging only cements the views of the enemies of the U.S. about Americans. At 86 years old, Iran’s current Ayatollah should not be concerned for his life nor for the continuance of radical Islamic law in Iran. There will be another radical Ayatollah to take over. Most Iranians who I’ve met have been intelligent, open-minded people with a sense of humour and nothing like the medieval rulers of their country. Unfortunately, evil ideals attract the more basic and discontented — Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, etc. Iran’s government cares little for its citizens and even less for the Infidels. We in the free world should be diligent as this chapter is not over. Israelis are experts in survival as they have been doing it for millennia and will not be lulled into a state of relaxation. For the West, however, with its naive and ill-informed woke, the challenge is greater.

COURTING DISASTER
Our entire court system needs an overhaul. If you know you will be convicted of a crime, you get as many continuances as you can and do as much pre-trial time as possible. If it takes two years to get to trial, that is six years of time served. Judges allow this. Stop the continuances and adjournments. Force speedy trials and stop rewarding people for clogging up the system. A continuance should be a rare thing, not an automatic yes.
