Donald Trump cut his trip to China short, returning to America with his planeload of billionaires, family and sycophants with no obvious "deals" on the war in Iran or commercial trade while also saying he had not made any commitments on Taiwan one way or the other in his private talk with Chinese President Xi Jinping, which surely worried residents of that independent island who have received guaranteed U.S. military support for more than seven decades, all of which made most Americans wonder what the heck was the purpose of the surprise trip in the first place other than for Trump to marvel at the number of Chinese restaurants in America and be impressed by China's great hall (See?) which all took place while the Justice Department back home was talking about indicting Castro -- Castro!? -- no not that one, the brother, Raul, former Cuban leader who is 94 years old, for his supposed role as defense minister at the time in shooting down two civilian U.S. planes carrying a humanitarian group, over Cuba in 1996, the murder indictment to serve as a warning to the communist country (like China, by the way) that the U.S. might just have to take over control of the energy-starved Caribbean island, apparently because Greenland is too big and well-defended and China is really strong and still lusts for Taiwan and the U.S. might consider not stopping all the oil tankers from Venezuela from making deliveries to Cuba, which depends on those shipments to function, or just taking over the island, if Cuba would accept $100 million in humanitarian aid and allow U.S. economic and security investments in the island, a mixed message delivered to Cuban leaders personally by whomever is now head of the CIA, all of which happened as Rudy Giuliani, yes that Rudy Giuliani, was having "a very serious spiritual experience" while in a coma due to pneumonia, in which he said he was in a line leading to a "trial by St. Peter" but was saved when his friend and former deputy NYC mayor Peter Powers intervened, saying some "very significant words," thereby apparently saving Rudy's soul, allowing him to survive to talk about his "miracle" on his broadcast show, which few people knew existed until now, and which apparently is not housed off the parking lot at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping business in Philadelphia, where Giuliani, now 81, previously was in a coma but didn't know it -- all of which happened in a couple of days and is proof positive that the world is totally out of sync.

I needed the break.
