“ The real apocalypse comes , not with the vision of a city or kingdom, which would still be external, but with the identification of the city and the kingdom with one’s own body” ( The beginning of Chapter VII of Norman O. Brown’s Love’s Body )
”Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them”
In this his second term, the Great and Mighty Donald J. Trump, 47th President of the United States, Peacemaker, Man of Peace, Leader Of The Free World, has only been in office for 42 days, during which time not exactly like a hurricane, a tsunami or an earthquakes of magnitude 9 on the Richter scale, he has begun to shake, to re-shake, re-make and re-shape the United States - and - as observers at home and the world over have been observing, Trump is also shaking up the planet, our mother earth, the world that is home to all of us including illegal aliens and extra terrestrial guests, everyone and everything surely shaken & reverberating , along with Sleepy Joe Biden ( described here by Jeffrey Sachs as “somnolent”) and indeed, Biden in retirement, sour puss Kamala and others suffering or shuffering from somnolence or shellshock, casting off the slumber from eyelids and waking up from sweet dreams, nocturnal emissions, nightmares and earlier complacency, waking up and shaping up, arise from the slumber shake the sleep off their eyes and begin to shmell Trump’s freshly brewed coffee…
3rd March , 2025, “ Zelensky is no Churchill” and Starmer of course is sincerely desperate to shake off the image of Britain as a “toothless bulldog."
However , before getting too involved in Ukraine militarily he should please take note, Putin has said that just one tidal wave should be enough to sink the British isles and such a drowning would include ( God forbid) Big Ben, 10 Downing Street, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and everybody in the Houses of Parliament…
For now it’s all eyes on the Brexiter United Kingdom in collusion with Germany and France
All of the above is by way of polite (decent) dissent to the very latest of the Britisher Porter’s Pensées: The Evil Man Theory
All hail to TRUMP THE PEACEMAKER
The Evil Man Practice :
Evil man make me kill ya
Evil man make you kill me
Evil man make me kill you
Even though we're only families apart”

“Machine gun, tearing my body all apart
Machine gun, yea, tearing my body all apart
Evil man make me kill ya
Evil man make you kill me
Evil man make me kill you
Even though we're only families apart”
( Jimi Hendrix : Machine Gun )
All hail to Trump the peacemaker !
He has to prove his mettle yet
Let’s see how he settles
The Palestinians.
Nathan of Gaza, notwithstanding,
There are those who claim
Gaza is not part of the Holy Land
For now, Bible thumper that he is
let him ask the most learned of the rabbis
or better still, he may ask the one who is
mightier than him and all of them together : Hashem The Almighty
to confirm whether or not Gaza is part of God’s special piece of holy estate
They’ll soon be wading in : https://www.israpundit.org/
“To keep it in your mind and not forget
That it is not he or she or them or it
That you belong to” ?
In the mean time Zelensky who is unlikely to witness UKrainian NATO membership in his lifetime, is grovelling to the likes of Starmer and Macron for help about “guarantees” - some kind of specially made, impenetrable Iron Domes / Iron Nuclear Umbrella which will guarantee that if shit happens ( the kind of shit that’s bound to happen) those Satanic Russian missiles won’t get through. Zelensky wants to hit but doesn’t want to be hit.
Reminds me of what Jesus said : “ An evil and adulterous generation demands a sign”, the guarantees that The Almighty has given him in the Torah - Devarim / Deuteronomy 28 are apparently not enough for him, he wants Trump to sign something new in the oval office, perhaps, preferably with his blood ( I guess that if Trump did that - signed the guarantees that Zelensky is talking about with some holy US presidential blood, then Zelensky the former comedian would take him seriously, even believe in such a guarantee.

Another correction please :
We’re so familiar with Trump’s description of his rival as “ Sleepy Joe Biden “ - no insult meant of course, just calling a spade, a spade - sleepy an adjective, not a noun. In Zelensky's altercation with Trump and Vance ,Trump mentioned Biden as being either not a very bright person…or not a smart person…Trump never misses a chance to punish Biden with a putdown, and that’s why inevitably, by mere repetition, the image of ”Sleepy Joe Biden” has got established, and not only in the American Consciousness, just as Sleepy John Estes, a real person…
In referring to Joe Biden Jeffrey Sachs’ exact word was not somnolence , he spoke of Biden’s later “ senescence” - and in saying this he wasn’t speaking out of turn , as even some of the most ardent Democrats had been trying to persuade Biden not to run - exactly because of the aforementioned senescence, especially after he messed up big time, in that first debate with Trump
