Islam’s Grasp for Significance
The news trended for several days. IDF had a half dozen members wander into a different type of battlespace. The images of the military members were quite impressive. Their facial features showed a histamine response from the attack from a hornet’s nest. They looked like Gargoyles.
A need for rapidly deployed intravenous hydrocortisone and diphenhydramine comes to mind. But the narrative spooled out was how Allah punished a king with an asymmetrical insect attack. Do you know the story? Stories count in Islam, and many of my conversations within the Muslim community involve the stories and Ahadith of Islam. My work is within the IB – the Intellectual Battlespace of Islam. I have found it the most vibrant of quarterdecks over the years.

Week XVI: Tammy for Trump
Whores inhabit a world of multi-level deceptions. They deceive the man who pays for their services; the wife who they might know and pass at the grocer; and the Momma who tried to raise them better. It is the nature of their trade. I would imagine that Stormy Daniels, a whore porn star, has an even a greater propensity for lying: about her encounter with a powerful man and what it really meant, and for what her silence was really worth. Whores are not paid for their services. They are paid to go away. Stormy Daniels left and came back. She is a damn boomerang.
If Donald J Trump is to be punished for his dalliance and subsequent extortion and blackmail by a prostitute, then line up a few men in the Congressional body, those running our cities, and men of arts and science, who have done the same. He does not stand alone regarding this activity which dates back to the dawn of man. Only the incredibly self-righteous would wish to crucify Donald J. Trump. And to those individuals, a challenge. What is your favorite sin? We all have one.
I had a best friend whose husband was a congressman in Texas. We worked for his campaign. His wife dumped him when his duties in Austin included taking up a mistress.
Does Trump’s humanity – his strong male ego – belong in a courtroom? Especially when this current courtroom has the look of the hooded eyes of a hawk? This is predatory “justice”. And if Mr. Trump is to be punished – let those without sin pick up the first stone. I find it amusing (the propensity of some) to ignore the transsexual who likes to bed down another man whilst feigning indignation for the broad-chested man who takes his God-given testosterone in the right direction. Male-female relationships are heat-seeking. I believe homosexual liaisons as cold as ice. It all seems a bit bi-polar regarding the intended natural polarity of man and our greater tolerance for what is unnatural. Trump wasn’t sleeping with Cohen or Giuliani. Give the man a break.
But Stormy? Apparently, she lies. Shocker!

I believe marital indiscretion is best resolved within the framework of the marriage and not a court of law. And I do not believe the actions of Donald J. Trump disqualify him from a second run for the presidency. It might disqualify him from submitting an application as senior pastor of a church. But adultery is not the domain of only unskilled, illiterate men; men with overall lack of character. My guess is the higher the I.Q. the greater the fun to be had in coloring outside the lines; the greater the ability to engage risk assessment and the trade offs which life offers.
Again: line up the men you know and grow a few extra digits. You will need them to keep the count correct regarding adulterous liaisons. The men in your own family are lined up. Quit squinting. How many fingers am I holding up? Don’t kid yourself. Stepping out on a marriage is common enough that it has lost any shock value. There are no scarlet letters. We are left with disappointment. But is it your business to make it your business? I think not. Apparently, I am within the massive basket of deplorables who still believe that Mr. Trump is capable within the arena of governance. One sin does not make the man. Nor does Donald Trump make the sin one of greater notoriety because of who he is. (Ending with a linking verb is also not good!)
I watched the New Jersey rally. And I believe in the America of Donald J Trump.
I want him back. For all of the right reasons.

Conceptual arches for what I believe regarding the fate of Hamas. View the film for the conceptual arches embedded within the action. Excellent film, highly recommended.
Qatar has a Choice: II
It would be ludicrous, of course, to demand the Radcliffe Line of 1947 be erased and what were the eastern and western horns of Pakistan be returned to India. What is even more ludicrous, is that Qatar continues to harbor and facilitate Hamas leadership on their sovereign soil.
Hamas has always used sentiment as a business model. Gaza’s hopes and dreams and quality of life are laundered straight into the numbered bank accounts of Hamas hierarchy and the organization exists because of one of the most prolific sins of mankind: Greed. It all comes down to basic greed. And as long as the billionaire barons of Hamas suffer no loss, the rest of the world can just go to hell.
In recent months Hamas has experienced exponential growth in marketing their business model. Their product is sentiment and it has forced logic to take a knee. Obeisance to what is a cult-like loyalty is on the rise. Hamas is now a household name, a mainstream brand. It has become a toy store for adults and a world of millions of Peter Pan in the West.
Hamas is a business platform run by common criminals. But it is also a polyglot enterprise aided by a digital age and Google translate. And if there is a modern analogy, it is the rise of Consumer Cellular which offers affordable cell service by piggybacking onto existing networks to provide coverage. Hamas is piggybacking onto existing networks within university campus – nurtured by the professors who have ideologically compromised education for decades. The resistance organizations are now storefront and not largely ignored backroom resistance movements. Piggybacking onto homegrown dissident groups with little to offer the world but plenty of opinion and the color pink. Piggybacking into houses of worship – which in itself is an act of blasphemy against the mission of the Christian church. Along for the ride for any given protest, or as seen in Latin America recently, with breast jiggling street dances of nonsensical women with drummers providing the cadence, as they carefully drape their kefiyyeh scarves to assure ample show of the best they have to offer man; I am not speaking of the lobes of the brain, albeit they are missing their frontal and temporal lobes.
Hamas commercial interests are traded along transnational lines with intellectual graft, war-mongering, black market weapons trade, hatred and profiteering all wrapped up into one distinct cluster fuck.
Qatar undoubtedly profits from having a hand in the management of the wealth portfolio of Hamas senior leadership; profit from elements of the black market weapons trade; profit from the prestige of playing the role of negotiator whilst secretly hoping it all continues to collapse. Qatar needs Hamas – until the day Hamas no longer needs Qatar. Sleep on that thought.
Qatar would never allow what democracy allows in our peaceful streets. Never allow for street demonstrations and rowdiness against the state. But what is not allowed is vulnerable to other elements which cannot always be controlled by a police state.
Qatar has a choice. They can exile Hamas leadership and allow Mossad to do what Mossad does best, which is to hunt. Or they can sit back and wait until Mossad hunts on their sovereign soil. I firmly believe that negotiations with Hamas must intentionally stall until Qatar does the right thing. Because at the end of the day negotiations are not solely anchored on the issue of current hostages. The issue is that future hostages and carnage against a well-established Jewish state must be prevented. It is time for product tampering, Qatar. Time for you to show yourselves members of modern states and not Medieval, insensible mindset.
Cut them loose – uterine relations and all. Pack their bags for them and force them to the tarmac. Then, and only then, should saving the people of Rafah be a consideration.

Qatar Has a Choice: I
My conversation with an individual in October of 2023.
Q. “What is the troop strength of Hamas?”
A. “One billion.”
Link and pertinent statements:
I once had a Muslim colleague opine, “Yasser Arafat was so incompetent he couldn’t manage to throw a party in an (alcoholic) drinks factory.”
And I am certainly disappointed in the spin of Glenn Greenwald – a man for whom I actually retain quite a bit of respect. Ms. Clinton does not speak from a well of bitterness. Her experience as a FLOTUS for eight years, a U.S. Senator from 2001-2009 and and our 67th Secretary of State from 2009-2013 give her the absolute right to call out uneducated, over-rated and ideologically manipulated university students.
The next blog will focus on one aspect of what has made Hamas such a global threat. Qatar has a choice to make. Let me drop Hamas right into their laps.

The Psychology of Musical Algorithms
Hard at work one day, I suddenly felt melancholy and had a feeling that I needed to have a good cry. Entering the analytical side of my brain – I could find no reason for distress; so I moved into my environment to locate the trigger. The PACU had a local station broadcasting music into our workspace. As I thought back to the previous half-a-dozen selections I realized that all of them were thematic for lost love… grief… solitude. Inwardly smiling, I continued to listen to the selections. A few minutes later, all of the songs addressed new love, whirlwind romances, etc. Aha! I had located a pattern. Darn the programmers!
A couple days ago, I was traveling north and began listening to 99.5 FM (The Wolf) and traced another pattern.
A man breaks a woman’s heart and leaves her with broken angel wings. He begins drinking like a drunkard, with deep regret.
He progresses to “One margarita, two margarita, three margarita, shot. Don’t worry ’bout tomorrow, leave all your sorrow, out here on the floatin’ dock.” He has developed a devil-may-care attitude.
Now totally over the woman with the broken wings, the man launches forth again with a dusty bottle of wine and takes another swing at life and love.
The fourth selection reminds us all that life might be short – “If I die young….”. So hey! Be a bit contemplative based on what you were just fed from programmers.
The station then went to a commercial break. Who needs a psychiatrist when C & W music works just fine? smile
And for the obtuse or low I.Q.? Agitation propaganda. I’ll be damned. This man actually earns a living – and a good one – producing his genre of muzik.
