Something Novel

Iran seized 66 American hostages in 1979 held 52 for more than a year The pressure on Jimmy Carter was too much to bear So, the President attempted a rescue mission though it failed, he just couldn’t do nothing Yet on the day of 'Dutch' Reagan’s inauguration Iran released all 52, because RR did ‘something’ That ‘novel something’ that Ronnie R. did He talked tough, didn’t blink an eyelid Today, Joe Biden gives away billions to the mullahs like Santa Claus, he’s such a ‘jolly good fella’… And where is the outcry today for the 20 Americans still in harm’s way Seems Americans have taken a shine to Hamas* for which the hostages and their families are at quite a loss ___________________________________________ * Hamas is Iran's proxy in Gaza, and in Yehuda and Shomron, (aka 'The West Bank' of the Jordan River).

There is a difference indeed when the tough stand up. Still the powers certainly stand with their kin and make sure they back them up sins and all. We can be assured that God sees and though He is merciful, He will also take vengeance.

God needs us to do our job here too. As the saying goes: Heaven helps those who help themselves.

Your words are true, my friend, no one respect weakness in leadership. Thanks for sharing the parallels of past and present weakness in leadership of our country, Gershon. Have a pleasant weekend. Bill

That's right, my friend. No one respects weakness in leadership. Biden, Blinken, Harris, Kerry, et al. have got to go asap. Why let the leaders of the axis of evil keep licking their lips?

Prophecies are coming to pass very, very quickly. The nation of Israel became a nation again, after nearly 2000 years, wow! Whoever heard of such a thing?! I was reading Isaiah 66 just a little while ago. God's word will prevail. Be blessed Gershon.

It's was predictable. I fear for Israel -- it needs US support if to survive. Well said, Gershon.

I don't think that our present administration cares if America survives...voting them out may be near impossible. The loudmouths get the press, but the overwhelming majority of Americans rightfully support Israel.

I just hope that the U.S.A. realizes that it needs Israel if America is to survive. Think about that for a moment...

the parallels between 1979 and now are uncanny. Carter was weak and disrespected as is Biden. There's no outcry today--and that makes this Texan's blood boil. Americans taking a shine to Hamas is despicable!

Good. Our blood should boil over this horrible tragedy, which is America's as well as Israel's... But no. The youth embrace the monsters/Palestinians... another tragedy.
