"O Romeo, Romeo, Wherefore Art Thou Romeo?"


In what "sound bites" along like a Shakespeare tragedy - my morning look at the news quickly devolved to take a look at this:

https://nypost.com/2026/06/27/us-news/jd-vance-tells-bill-maher-how-america-wins-with-or-without-iran-deal/

O Narrative, Narrative, Wherefore Art Thou Narrative?"

It is a narrative regarding an American "win".   Narratives are always directed against fools.  My father raised me to choose a better course of action for my life.

With "light wings" we took it to the "stony limits" of our military might.  And yet - Iran's nuclear assets will continue to "twinkle in their spheres until they return".

Our Montague family is still at war with the Capulet family.  And this rose by any other name, is simple Thlaspi arvense.  We are left with stink week - with its pungent garlicky turnip aroma.

Vice President J.D. Vance is not God.  (Numbers 23:19)  He has lied to the American public.  I find it an inconceivable action.

Vice President J.D. Vance is not God.  My God created the universe ex nihilo.  Read my lips.  We have nothing... nothing... fully assured coming out of Tehran. We cannot create from what does not exist.

Our American Vice President cannot call into being things which do not exist. (Romans 4:17)

And yes.  It pains me that a member of the Christian faith has lied to the taxpayers regarding a regrettable  outcome with Iran.  But then again - once entering the ranks as a politician;  forever a liar.

I firmly believe that the adult American public are capable of swallowing hard, if an inconvenient truth is presented. And then we take  truth and ponder it in our hearts.  We also have choices to make.  We can choose to forgive our POTUS and continue to pray for our Republic and our military troops.  This is what I have chosen to do.  And I pray a blessing on our President.  This is also right for me.  My scripture demands it.

But we can also make demands when our taxpayer funds continue to be used to grind down a nation which has found itself uniquely equipped to resist our demands.  This task belongs to our elected Congressional representatives.

Disappointed, J.D.  We are adults.  And to lie to us is to reduce us to children.

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

Mohamed Elhassan He is powerful, made up of imperceptible layers.  He was only in his mid-teens when he first heeded the call to political action traveling to the Republic Palace of President Jafar Nimeiri seeking justice for his family. He is a well-respected Sufi.  In June,  he was awarded a Masters Degree in Islamic Studies from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar).  A recognized leader of the Kwahla tribe - with 16 million members.   Fast forward to 2010 and 2015 when he ran for President of the Sudan.  In 2015, it was my privilege to serve in a minor advisory role.  In recent years, he has given an enviable one hundred interviews with Al Jazeera Mobasha (life).   His name is Mohamed Elhassan.  I merely call him "friend". Mohamed Elhassan is president of the Sudanese Gathering Accord.  He is a man who knows his business, takes care of his business, and more importantly, takes care of his people. Less than a month ago he tra...

State of the Union:  Live Blogging Tammy and Blackfoot will begin live blogging shortly.  Grab your favorite drink and your BINGO cards and get ready to settle in for two hours of our POTUS speaking at SOTU.  We hope to keep this fun! https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2026/02/state-of-union-bingo-cards.html __________________ Here we go, gang! "Gang" in the friendly family way, not in the Tren de Aragua way. President Trump and Mrs. Trump have left the White House and are on their way to the Capitol. I'm sure these past few days have been chock full of leafing through journals and diaries, and holding meetings with the inner circle for messaging strategies. Regardless of how much input his team gives him, we can always rely on our POTUS to not mince words, to lay the facts on the table and give us straight talk. Recently saw Newsom talking about Trump being an actor, and that he's a different person in different situations. Once again, Gavin is projecting his weakne...
