Rendered Academics

(Rendered Academics)

What will happen if Israel finishes Hamas over the next few days ? What will happen when the Donald Trump verdict is guilty ? These things are likely within the next two weeks. All the planning that has anticipated these events will have to be re-assessed. What will be the point of anti-Israel/pro-Hamas if the latter ceases to exist in any recognizable fashion ? During the Vietnam War, the Viet Kong insurgency had its own mythology. However, the groups participation in the 1968 Tet Offensive so eviscerated its cadres that the VC became ineffective as a fighting force. It is the same situation with Hamas. Hostilities that commenced on October 7th, and in the months sense have led to the degradation of the terror group. Once Rafah is cleared, and the last four Hamas battalions are fully reduced, and Israel closes Gaza's gate to Egypt, permanently, then Israel can say that it won.


What will that do to the protests ? If Hamas is no more, and the IDF still stands, what will remain if the protests if the motivation evaporates ? All the funding, all the other support to keep those kids and other external elements, in the Commons Yard ? The Israeli triumph will be signaled that the side of the demonstrations, the side of Hamas if you will, was the one that lost.


Also in about two weeks, former President Trump will be found guilty. He will then be sentenced to a term in prison. It has been the recurring argument that the whole hush money venture is to keep Trump in court and then in jail and both will happen. Judge Merchan, a Democrat, and District Attorney Bragg, a Democrat, and the jury, composed mainly of Democrats, are not going to be the ones that will "save" Donald Trump. Not in that jurisdiction. Not in New York.


Therefore, much of what has been unknown has been rendered academic. Israel is defeating Hamas and Donald Trump will be found guilty. These items are going to happen so there is little point in elaborating a moot point.

Siege Of The Alamo

(Siege Of The Alamo) Any visitor to Downtown San Antonio will recognize the City's most famous landmark, the Alamo. An old Spanish mission that means "Cottonwood" in English was the site where the likes of Jim Bowie, William Barrett Travis and Davy Crockett and about another 185 Texians defended the Mission and its compound for thirteen days against the Army of General Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana and his 5,000 troops. The garrison was finally reduced on March 6, 1836. However, the Texian defeat at the Alamo and another one at Goliad, bought time for General Sam Houston time to fall back and then face Santa Ana at San Jacinto. There, Houston's army surprised the Mexicans and yelling "Remember the Alamo, Remember Goliad !" all but wiped out the Mexican force. Santa Ana was captured and was forced to recognize the Republic of Texas. Which is now the State of Texas and, like 1836 Texas War of Independence, there is a new invasion from Mexico. Not the armed body o

TEQUILA !

(TEQUILA !) Happy Cinco de Mayo or May 5th. One can hope that a lot of you out there are awash in inebriation, seeking to mainline tequila shots or enjoying a nice margarita on the patio. Or, in other words, relax. Take a breath. De-compress. May 5th as it happens is the anniversary of Mexico's victory over French "occupation" of Mexico by Emperor Maximillian, brother to Austrian monarch Maria Theresa in what has been called the Battle of Puebla. The reason France was in Mexico in the first place was that Mexico, after the Mexican-American War and a more civil conflict called the Reform War, had bankrupted Mexico City. Mexican President at the time was Benito Juarez, who repudiated all foreign debt, of which France, Spain, and the United Kingdom were all major holders. A naval expedition was dispatched to Veracruz and France's Napoleon III thought it would be a good idea to establish a French "empire" in Mexico. But, on May 5th, 1862, in the aforementioned B

Intended Consequences

(Intended Consequences) For those Readers who live in the Tri-State area, who had the earthquake this morning, just be still.  There is a postulate called the Law of Un-Intended Consequences. Basically, it says that even with the best intentions, negative results sometimes happen. However, there are also instances when a negative result is precisely the desired outcome. Like with the Israel- Hamas war where the Biden Administration continues to press for an all but unilateral ceasefire on the part of Israel. In California, the new $20/HR minimum wage is wreaking havoc on the fast food industry. And finally, after depleting the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, oil has now become too expensive. How many times must the Biden Administration think it can influence Israeli affairs ? How many times must Israel ignore it. Threats from the President have become redundant at this point but is Biden really prepared to cut Israel loose ? In the middle of the greatest crisis Israel is facing since the
