Returning Home

I arrived home today from two weeks in South America.  It was good to be away from the non stop news cycle, but that did not stop the outpouring of news in any event.

Obviously, the big story has been the Russian incursion into the Ukraine.  In many respects, that incursion only took place because of a flubbed foreign policy by the USA and NATO.  Even now as things get worse in Eastern Europe, the talking heads on TV tell us that there really is nothing that America can do about it.  They are wrong, of course, but it does not stop the outpouring of professions of impotence.  We may all come to regret the weakness displayed by president Obama.

Another big story has been the hostility shown by Obama to Israel.  Obama may be unable to move Putin or Iran, but he seems to have no trouble threatening the Israelis on a seemingly non-stop basis.

Then there is the endless disaster which is Obamacare and its continuing infliction of major harm on America.  Things have gotten so bad that partisan idiots like Harry Reid have taken to name calling rather than reason.  They have nothing they can say regarding the law itself, so instead they attack the messengers who let people know just how bad things really are.

I'm looking forward already to my next vacation.
