MORE “HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED” - THIS TIME IN 63 YEARS
Can anyone who listens to the radio have missed hearing (Democrat) President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s speech announcing the landings in Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944?

HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED…..IN 70 YEARS.
I’m older than dirt, so I can remember when the newspapers and magazines (not to speak of the TV ads and highway billboards) were filled with advertisements for tobacco products, mainly (though not exclusively) for cigarettes. Who can forget “SO ROUND, SO FIRM, SO FULLY PACKED”?

MEN OF COURAGE RUN TOWARD DANGER…....
....the men of the New York City Fire Department taught us that, and here is another noble example.
“We hoped for peace, but no good has come. A time of healing, but there was only terror.” (Yirmiyahu 8:15)
We have come to the end of the road. No more initiatives. No more recycling under different names the same failed formula for Middle East peace. The end of the road is conflagration, not coexistence.
The peace process is dead. The time of wars has begun. Israel has been sufficiently weakened for the Muslim world to once again attempt annihilation of the Jewish state. The facade of Muslim desires for peace is lowered, and behind the curtain looms a violent and murderous religion that brooks no opposition.
