WILD hair, WILD ideas?

 


Numbers 6:5

King James Version

5 All the days of the vow of his separation 

there shall no razor come upon his head: 

until the days be fulfilled, 

in the which he separateth himself unto the Lord, 

he shall be holy, 

and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.


Does wild hair have anything to do with wild ideas?

I don't know.

You be the judge.

FOUR characters come to mind.

We thank Wikipedia for the Milei feed, which gave us this idea of bundling these leaders in one post, through this "lead":

"In addition to being nicknamed el Peluca ("The Wig") for his eccentric hair,[208][209][210] which has been compared to that of Trump and fellow right-wing populists Boris Johnson and Geert Wilders,"


And yes, all have "wild" hair.

All in world politics, too.

All have wild ideas, good ideas, workable ideas, and outrageous ideas.

Definitely making the status quo uncomfortable.

Knowing change has come.


Javier Milei, economist and politician; President of Argentina since 2023, despite a lack of support in Congress.

"In his first acts as president, Milei signed 13 decrees related to his cabinet members. He also lowered the number of ministries from 18 to 9.

Milei is known for his flamboyant personality, distinctive personal style, and strong media presence, which sometimes causes controversy, and his embrace of conspiracy theories,[197] including the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory.[198] He has also called the idea of climate change as an anthropogenic phenomenon "a socialist lie" and said that concerns about it are nothing more than "deceptions promoted by the neo-Marxists,

Milei is known as el Loco ("The Crazy One")...he has been called the "chainsaw candidate"[219]), specifically symbolizing his "cutting" of regulations, bureaucracy, and red tape in Argentina."


Donald Trump, 45th president of the United States in 2016; president-elect, 47th president for 2025.

"Trump is the only modern U.S. president to leave office with a smaller workforce than when he took office, by 3 million people.[182][190] Trump rejects the scientific consensus on climate change.[191][192][193][194] He reduced the budget for renewable energy research by 40 percent and reversed Obama-era policies directed at curbing climate change.[195] He withdrew from the Paris Agreement, making the U.S. the only nation to not ratify it.

Trump's political positions are populist,[701][702] more specifically described as right-wing populist.[703][704] Politico described them as "eclectic, improvisational and often contradictory".[705] He helped bring far-right fringe ideas and organizations into the mainstream."


Boris Johnson, former prime minister of the United Kingdom, and leader of the Conservative Party from 2019 to 2022.

"Johnson has been described as having a light-hearted and charming persona...with an often vitriolic or irresponsible way of conducting himself in private...Johnson has been described as a divisive, controversial figure in British politics.[702][703][704] Supporters have praised him as witty and entertaining.[705] Johnson has been accused of lying or making misleading statements throughout his career,[706] and has been compared to former US president Donald Trump.[707][708][709][710] He has been considered a figure with broad appeal outside of the usual Conservative support base.[711] Johnson's premiership has been described by historians as the most controversial and scandal-affected since that of David Lloyd George about a century earlier."


Geert Wilders, Dutch politician who founded in 2006 the far-right Party for Freedom (PVV); also the party's leader in the House of Representatives.

"Wilders is best known for his right-wing populism, anti-immigration, opposition to Islam and Euroscepticism.[3] His views have made him a controversial figure in the Netherlands and abroad.

Wilders generally considers himself to be a right-wing liberal, with a specific mix of positions independent of the European political spectrum and peculiar to iconoclastic Dutch society. He has stated, "My allies are not Le Pen or Haider ... We'll never join up with the fascists and Mussolinis of Italy. I'm very afraid of being linked with the wrong rightist fascist groups", adding that his drive instead is such issues as freedom of expression and Dutch iconoclasm."


And while you're at it, do read about their early life, faith, education, career, and personal life from the Wikipedia links provided.

That always gives you a better picture of the men.

One thing for sure, these leaders are bold, brash, and brazen.

As well as vociferous, verbal, and vilified.

Using media.

As media uses them.


If only people would be born again.

So they can give GOD the glory.

And have GOD-breathed communication.

And be true JESUS followers.

And live godly lives.

This would be a much different world.

And that always makes for a sound mind.
