Planet Hollywood and the Liberals of America,

We have some sort of fantasy play-land in my fair city. They call it Planet Hollywood. 

Actually this is named after another vastly more populated place that hovers over America just above the Van Halen layer. In this ethereal and heady place the liberals, the beautiful people, the rich and the famous, the celebrities and the media types, the funky folk, the "greenies" and  the rainbow coalition plus many others have formed their happy club house.

They peep over the parapets of their elevated nirvana and look down with a degree of pity on poor fools like you and me; people who believe the Bible, believe that marriage is a life long covenant between man and woman, believe that this planet earth belongs to the Creator God and that He controls the wind, the waves and the atmospheric temperatures, these things and a lot more besides. In a word we are "the common folk".

Last year "the common folk" on this very day, spoke in a national election and had the temerity to elect Donald Trump as President of the United States.

Planet Hollywood suddenly developed a huge tilt that has left many of its citizens hanging on for dear life. Screams of fear and anger filter down to the population still on the ground and the most persistent cry is "Join us and help take our country back again in 2020".

Well those pollsters are at it again and are predicting that the nightmare will be over in three years time and we can all get back to normal with a freshly minted Democrat in the White House.

Don't bet on it. The Irish Bookmakers lost their shirt when their favourite horse "Hell-for-leather Hillary" stumbled and broke her leg. Now, a little chastened, they are giving "Dynamite Donald " evens that he will be in his residence for another four years.

BALFOUR 100 YEARS LATER.

Big celebrations in London and in Israel.

Prime-minister, Teresa May, hosted Benjamin Netanyhu to a state banquet last night to commemorate the declaration of Lord Balfour made in London one hundred years ago.

His few words, issued as acting foreign secretary, changed the course of history.

The phrase, embraced with joy by the Jewish people and cursed as anathema by the Palestinian Arabs read as follows:

"His majesty's Government views with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home land for the Jews"

From that moment onwards to the end of the British Mandate in 1948 there was a huge immigration of Jews from different parts of the earth, particularly from Russia and Europe.

Despite Arab accusations of an illegal Jewish occupation of their land, history shows that most of it was sold by Arab landowners to the new immigrants. They were quite happy to take their money at inflated prices. 

Since 1948 there have been a succession of wars in which the Palestinians have lost even more territory as they have blindly pursued their hateful goal of the extermination of the nation of Israel.

Will this ever end? Not until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ with power to this Earth when, the Bible says, He shall rule the nations with a rod of iron.

Sounds good to me, since all other forms of government have failed.

"Even so Lord Jesus come quickly"

Jubilate.
