The Great What If?

Just allow Victor Davis Hanson to walk you through a meticulous ‘what if’ scenario of Obama in place of Trump being investigated. The details are chilling.

All one has to do is plug in all the relevant factors and apply them to Obama. It is a laborious task but someone had to do it. Don’t let your jaw fall on the floor.

Should the FBI Run the Country?

By Victor Davis Hanson | January 20th, 2019 | American Greatness

Since the media would doubtless answer that loaded question, “It depends on the president,” let us imagine the following scenario.

Return to 2008, when candidate Barack Obama had served only about three years in the U.S. Senate, his sum total of foreign policy experience. And he was running against the overseas old-hand, decorated veteran, and national icon John McCain—a bipartisan favorite in Washington, D.C.

Okay, what would happen? Safe to say there would be some reacting going on along with some outrage. For a while, I have been asking one irritating question. Do tell us:

Since they have been busy trying to give us reasons why this investigation took place and attempting to explain that process; then where was the investigation on Obama? Now someone has filled in many of those blanks with this scenario. Does FBI run the country?

Middle East Oil Power

In keeping with the energy oil theme, I found this article by Victor Hansen Davis:

An Irrelevant Middle East

Thanks to oil discoveries elsewhere, the region is losing its geostrategic clout.


In it, he talks about t the Middle East situation and the changing dynamics. Would anyone in the Middle East really take a second to realize the only reason we care anything at all about their cute little governments and relationships is the oil and dependency situation. Oh, and now for Israel too, who happens to live in a very troubling neighborhood. But its the oil that supplies them the money and power that fuels their influence.

But a new dawn is breaking. As Hanson points out, with the new technology and discoveries, it’s all too clear that the old situation is giving birth to a new one. One thing that has interested me for as long as the concerns of Iran have been at the fore, is the price of oil. Iran has admitted that it needs a price point of 117 a barrel to satisfy their demands. Whether this is by wish or necessity matters little. They have been fortunate enough in the last few years to benefit from oil prices and spikes.

Now as Victor suggests, with these new developments it could sort of “spread the wealth” around. Oil sheiks may not laugh it off as proudly as they once did. And more of their production is going to feed domestic demands than ever. So what to do if you are a rich oil sheik in say Saudi Arabia? Well, they might be looking for other lucrative businesses. As some of the oil money dries up, or they receive  less of a share than they’re used to, they will have less of those petro dollars to buy influence around the world. Their loss might well be our gain.

Back to the neighborhood. If they have less expendable world oil money, they become less of a problem for Israel. How you say, because their radical culture still exists? Well, the funny part is that with Israel’s discoveries it puts them higher on the totem pole than Arab sheiks. Call it a balancing. They can resent it all they want but it will not change that coming paradigm. And Israel, actually having a functioning burgeoning economy, will benefit all the way around while their economies based almost entirely on oil, and exporting jihad, may take a distant backseat to that real economy.
