Easter in the New World Order: Only the Strongest Will Survive!

Yesterday was Palm Sunday.

It was the start of what some Christian sects refer to as "Holy Week," culminating on Easter Sunday next week.

To mark this religious occasion, Russia's Putin bombed a bus full of Ukrainians on their way to church.

You didn't know that Putin was very religious, did you?

This is merely one incident in the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine with no end in sight, despite President Trump's claim that he is working with Putin to end the war.

But Putin is clearly paying Trump no attention.

Not really.

Meanwhile, in the Holy Land, Israel was continuing to demolish the Gaza Strip, forcing innocent Palestinian men, women and children to be constantly on the move as they are shuffled about by the Israeli military "for their own good" and to avoid casualties.

More casualties, that is.

Yes, I am still disgusted by the terrorist attack on Israeli civilians a year and a half ago by the Hamas Nazis and the revolting slaughter they visited on innocent people, but what is going on in Gaza comes under the heading of "much too much."

President Trump, of course, has already stated his plans of having Israel cede the United States the Gaza Strip once it is cleared of its Palestinian inhabitants, whereupon he will turn that piece of "prime real estate" into the Atlantic City of the Middle East.

He is not exactly clear on what will happen to the Palestinians there.

It makes you wonder what exactly makes the Holy Land holy.

However, there were plenty of religious services in Christian churches in Israel, as well as pilgrims making religious processions on the Mount of Olives.

Apparently, their tunnel vision has made them oblivious as to what is going on around them in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

In Vatican City, the Pope of the Roman Catholics, weak from his lengthy stay in the hospital and clearly tottering into the tomb, was wheeled out to greet the faithful congregating in Saint Peter's Square and wish them well at the start of Holy Week, unable to make any serious pronouncements about the lamentable state of the world because he really isn't all that influential.

In the United States, we are far removed from the wars, civil conflicts, genocides and general destructing that is befalling much of the rest of the world.

We are blithely preparing for Easter Sunday, although there is a massive egg shortage here.

Traditionally, eggs are colored and decorated at Easter and given away as gifts.

This year, an egg shortage has raised the price of a dozen eggs up to $8 a dozen, making the dying of large numbers of eggs a costly enterprise.

The "experts" are blaming this shortage on the latest occurrence of the bird flu, where tens of millions of chickens had to be "euthanized" to prevent the spread of the disease.

Oddly enough, there is chicken meat aplenty out there, and that has not increased dramatically in price, while the price of eggs has.

There has been no adequate explanation for this oddity.

And stores are limiting the number of eggs people can buy because of the shortage, usually limiting customers to two dozen.

Only two dozen eggs?

Apparently, this has driven Americans to distraction...because of the Easter holiday!

It got so bad that the US was asking Europe, which was unaffected by the bird flu, to send us eggs.

The same Europe that we were and are still trying to engage in a trade war to bring them to heel!

Go figure.

It is merely a ploy to get them to accept their lesser status in global politics and economics

But Americans are strong and resilient. We will survive this ongoing egg shortage crisis because, as President Trump has said, only the strongest will survive the new world order he is seeking to establish.

But an Easter egg shortage is seemingly too much to bear!
