Goodbye 2023

2023 has been a tough year for the world and indeed all those who value freedom and liberty. Inflation still remains high and despite some manicured data the recovery has been relatively sluggish. Illegal immigration is destroying America.

The Hamas attack on Israel that resulted in the killing of over 1200 Israelis has earned the noteriety of being the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. At present Israel is focused on rooting out Hamas, saving whatever hostages are still alive and defeating the Islamist insurgency centered on  Gaza. It is a daunting task especially in a world where the global media appears indifferent to the country's need to defend itself and defeat those, whose sole motivation is the eradication of the Jewish state.

Our Institutions continue to show obvious signs of being broken. The pathos of the presidents of Harvard, Penn and MIT provided evidence of the word games that each would subscribe to, in selectively handling the threat to Jewish students on their campuses. A diabolical moral equivalency has been applied that would certainly found no home in the halls of academy if another victimized minority were in the cross-hairs of a group rage.

In Nigeria we saw the massacre of Christians as radical Islamists continue their hostile demonstrations in many of the Western cities ,with the knowledge that the rule of law has been compromised by a groupthink of guilt-ridden toleration that has rendered common sense obsolete.

2024 will hopefully be better however that may just be my own wishful thinking. Elections will colour the political land scape of the United States and the UK (plus others) and these will likely bring out the worst elements of deceit, obfuscation and double talk. There will be more of the nasty.
