While They Were Sleeping   

   While the Pentagon was sleeping, President Trump and Jared Kushner, his son-in-law, have advanced peace in the Middle East.

   Historical peace deals between Israel and two Arab nations seemed to arise out of nowhere, with more expected. A well kept secret. 

   And while Trump was taking credit for dismantling the ISIS califate, and still does, it was an Arab League Multinational Military Force that did the hard work, with American support and advisory roles. 

   More than 20 Arab and Islamic nations began training in 2016 an estimated 350,000 troops to function in sea, air and land operations. This training was in preparation for destroying ISIS, and continues providing security in the Persian Gulf. 

   We like national defense, of course, but sending Americans to the Middle East where they lose legs, arms and eyesight seems a waste, with little accomplished. Oh, well, it provides careers for people in the Pentagon and other establishment figures. 

   Iran may call the U.S. "the great satan," but it's their neighbors that now confront them. 

Killing Blue-Collar Jobs  

   Stephen Moore, economic journalist, writes of Joe Biden's plan to end fossil fuel use in 15 years. This is actually the plan of radical environmentalists, not Biden, (the face only) of the party. It would end fracking; if we stop using the gas there is no market, Moore says of the obvious. 

   Going to zero on all fossil fuels will destroy 5 to 10 million, high-paying blue-color jobs. 

   The president's policy of energy independence has succeeded. Moore sees a disconnect in Biden's plan to "bring jobs back" while decapitating our energy industry. Total renewable energy may come, but it's a long way off. 

   We'll still need fossil energy in 15 years. We could buy it from Russia and Saudi Arabia (oil) and China (coal). 😒
