Good morning kids. And so with the ceasefire so-called "peace" agreement signed and delivered in Gaza, President Trump laid down the law.
President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Hamas terrorists would lay down their weapons, or the United States would “disarm them.”
Speaking to reporters during a roundtable with Argentinian President Javier Milei at the White House, Trump said that Hamas has already promised to disarm, which was a major demand in the president’s 20-point peace plan. “They’re going to disarm because they said they were going to disarm,” Trump said. “And if they don’t disarm, we will disarm them.”
“How will you do that?” a reporter asked. “I don’t have to explain that to you, but if they don’t disarm, we will disarm them,” Trump reiterated. “They know I’m not playing games.”
With all due respect to the President, color me highly skeptical. Even if this ceasefire holds for any appreciable length of time, the problem isn't necessarily Hamas nor its caches of weapons. The issue was and always will be Islam. You can disarm Hamas and every other armed Muslim, unless and until you deprogram them and successive generations of Muslims from what the Koran tells them is their duty on this Earth — the death or submission of every infidel on Earth — then despite the blessed liberation of the innocents they held captive and abused for two years, All of this is destined to happen again, perhaps even worse than before.
As I've stated many times, I hold no illusions about Islam reforming itself but perhaps, this next item might hold out a kernel of hope, however subatomic it may be that even some segments of the much talked about Muslim/Arab street might be ripe for change.
With the U.S.-brokered ceasefire providing a breather, Hamas terrorists have crawled out of their tunnels and fanned out into the streets of Gaza — massacring political rivals and opposing Arab clans to reestablish their reign of terror. It is worth noting that the massive Hamas tunnel network was exclusively for terrorist warfare, and not to shield a single Gaza civilian during the two-year-long war.
Despite the 5 times a day yammering of the Imams and even louder and harder on Fridays about how evil the Jews are, perhaps the truth of who really is the source of their misery as illustrated by this piece, might one day have the salutary effect of breaking through and raising some consciousnesses . Tribalism, xenophobia and hatred are unfortunately a part of human nature. In fits and starts we have somehow managed over the past 2,000 years to generally advance to a level where most people do believe or at the very least aspire to the goal of Live and Let Live. Of course, wars and revolutions and other base desires notwithstanding in that time have dragged us backwards, but the direction has nevertheless has always been towards the light of God and truth.
Evil persists as it always has and human nature being what it is, always will. We must always be on our guard to fight it as well as protect whatever sparks of humanity there are the crop up in the most unexpected place, to try and encourage them.
President Donald Trump will award Charlie Kirk the Medal of Freedom today at 4 PM ET. You can watch the livestream below. Today would have been Charlie’s 32nd birthday.
Erika, Charlie’s widow, will attend the ceremony along with those associated with his organization Turning Point USA.
God bless Charlie Kirk's memory. We sure could use a whole lot more like him. And that said, Kirk came onto the sene during the dark days of the Obama years when we seemingly thought we had lost his generation to the insanity of Leftist/Socialist/progressivism and yet he came to the fore and inspired many young people to return to God and also to open their eyes and minds to the insanity all around us. And he along with others helped propel Donald Trump and the MAGA movement forward. That momentum I hope and pray is still with us.
Have a good day!
