Opinion and Commentary By Donna Westfall – January 28, 2025

Israel has an Iron Dome. Will the USA get one? I would put money on it.

Of the 33 Israeli hostages due to be released only 25 are alive, 8 were killed. Hamas is supposed to get 200 of theirs back after releasing 4 more hostages. Doesn’t seem fair or right.

Columbia balks at taking back criminal illegal aliens until Pres. Trump reads them the riot act.

$7 billion in armaments left in Afghanistan. Pres. Trump asked for it back.

What does it mean – shock and awe? It usually refers to a military strategy that overwhelms the enemy with an impressive show of force.

Let’s go on:

California and wildfires:

Pres. Trump made it clear to California Gov. Newsom that federal aid on the wildfires will have two conditions:

• Voter ID

• Water

First hear what Pres. Trump said about Voter ID:  “In California, I have a condition: we want them to have voter ID so the people have a voice because right now, the people don’t have a voice because you don’t know who’s voting, and it’s very corrupt,”

Next Trump emphasized the need for California to adjust its water distribution strategies to alleviate wildfire risks, saying, “And we also want them to release the water. If they release the water, they wouldn’t have a problem.” Then added potential benefits to agricultural areas as well, detailing his vision for water distribution: “I want the water to come down … to Los Angeles and also go out to all the farmland that’s barren and dry.”

Is Greenland for sale?

Why would Trump want to buy the country? Apparently, it’s strategically important militarily as its ballistic missile early-warning system as the island is on the shortest route from Europe to North America. I didn’t realize Trump proposed this during his first presidency. However, in 1917, the United Kingdom has the first right of refusal. Trump would have to negotiate with London. Trump is not the first President to suggest buying Greenland. Pres. Harry Truman offered to buy it for $100 million in gold back in 1946. Right now and since1953, Greenland has been part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

Deportation of Illegal Criminals:

Thanks to great media coverage, we can watch as thousands are being rounded up and flown out of the US. One problem, Columbia tried to play chicken with Trump and lost.

Oh, then billionaire singer, Selena Gomez, made a tearful video that was taken down, but not before her tears spoke about attacks on her people.

Response by Border Czar, Tom Homan, said in effect what about all the children that are being killed and trafficked by the scum Biden let into our country?

Trump signs EO to end DEI in the military. Not only that, but he’s offered back pay and re-enlistment to soldiers forced out of the military due to their refusal to get the Covid vaccine.

Well, that’s enough for now. It’s never ending. It’s hard to keep up with our new President as he never stops nor slows down.
