Recent hours have seen too much Israeli depravity to write about, including an assassination strike in Qatar to sabotage peace talks, a second drone attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla, and a Guardian article featuring an IDF sniper who discussed killing civilians like a trophy hunter talking about game animals.

Introduction

During a Democratic fundraiser at the New York Historical Society Library on September 9th, 2016, then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton made disparaging remarks about half the country. Half of Trump’s voting base, she believes, are a “basket of deplorables,” with the other half needing compassion because they believe the government has let them down.

Perhaps it’s just an association of ideas, but the slaughter of the Ukrainian girl, Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte train, and President Trump writing “Here We Go!” on his Truth Social account in response to a breach of Polish airspace by Russian drones, made me wonder if the “Fourth Turning” is upon us.
