Part 2 of our OMG Adventure follows the further travails of Donald Trump. Someone came up with having his sycophants and potential Veep candidates show up at his trial.  Yesterday, two U.S. senators and a rep, plus.  Today, Speaker Mike Johnson and Vivek Ramaswamy.  Son Eric has been there, and so has his wife, Republican National Committee co-Chair Lara Trump. But no other close family has come. The biggest missing piece is Melania Trump.  All  reports show that she won't show .  Too  bad, for jurors are human, and her daily presence, holding his hands coming and going, can make that crucial difference.  Perhaps she can be enticed to show up at the end for some reward.  After all,  their marriage has become a business arrangement . Oh, in case you missed it,  Michael Cohen again was on the stand today , with Todd Blanche of the defense attempting to poke holes in his story.  He seems always to be at Trump's side outside of court. No action scheduled for Wednesday.  Final grill

For the past couple of weeks I've only provided the views of others regarding endangered Israel and the House speaker debacle.  Today, I provide my opinion, beginning with the Israel-Hamas War, with more questions and no solutions: Pressures are building, and Israel is in its worst position since the  Yom Kippur War  a half a century ago.  That period was crucial for the survival of humanity, for involved were the western powers against the Arab nations, plus the Soviet Union, and even China and North Korea.   While the world survived this game of intense brinksmanship, one fallout was the sudden increase of petroleum prices, for the result was the  First Energy Crisis .  Interestingly enough, Iran was a non-player in this war. Here is the situation at this moment (which could anytime change): Israel is torn about when and how to invade the Gaza Strip. The 199 hostages make decisions difficult. There are around  40,000 Hamas military terrorists  in a Gaza Strip population of 2.3, m

I am adding this quite late for a good reason.   As I predicted in my  blog of March 16 , watch  Caitlin Clark  of Iowa.   Well, she only scored 41 points, with 8 assists and 6 rebounds, in an incredible upset of heavily favored South Carolina.  Maybe the best single performance in the history of the Big Dance, women's or men's.   Iowa faces my team, LSU, which got trounced by South Carolina last month.  That's Angel Reese, for these two might be the best women playing at the college level this year. Why I'm adding this now is that my next blog will be published after that Iowa-LSU game is over, which begins at 7:30AM Fiji time tomorrow, but at 3:30PM EDT on Sunday in the U.S.   How to watch?  Click on this.    We left the Coral Sea and are now in the South Pacific Ocean.  Amazing that I am able to send this with nothing in sight around us for hundreds of miles. I also said that if you wanted a long shot on the men's side, pick San Diego State.   They will play Conn
