Just voted "Yes" to steal the VA Congressional delegation in the mid-terms. Because...spite.

Discussing the Middle East with my Boston Irish, Catholic School s-i-l. His "Netanyahu" quickly changed to "Zionists" which quickly changed to "Israel" which quickly changed to "the Jews" and stayed there.

Screen cap from Seinfeld episode. Jerry is telling an immigrant woman "I will show you the Stooges."

Fair exchange.

To close the Strait of Hormuz
Don't need guns of Navarone.
Just get yourself a speedboat
Or a teen to guide a drone.

Even if Kegbreath is lying (duh), it prob went better than when Indo military reps visited my former agency years ago & the catered informal lunch was BLT's.

Valid points.

Dinner will be a Royalle with Cheese.

Sleep well?

The way Trump is going, the final terms to end the war with Iran will be signed on the deck of the USS Missouri. But this time the US will be on the other side of the table.

A child of the early Cold War, I learned to duck & cover before i learned to read.

You knew this was coming. 🤣

Another day, another self-proclaimed "Christian" charged with multiple counts of CSA.

Grandsons 10 & 12 spending some Spring Break with us. Decided to surprise us w/ breakfast. Including grits. Misread cooking instructions, way too many raw grits in pot. Boiled over. And over. Stove & floor paved with grits. Surprise!

Good kids. Shitty cooks.

Yeah, invite China to expand their military presence into the Gulf. What could possibly go wrong?

I remember when Uncle Walter Cronkite fiddled with a model of the Apollo spaceship to explain the first moon trips. Now CNN has some Chinese guy waving around an Artemis II model. For whatever that tells us.

Think Trump is actually going to build a ballroom? Or an arch? Or a library? Baloney. The donation $$ (bribes) and federal funds (your taxes) are gonna disappear into the pockets of Trump, family & cronies. We'll be left with messes to clean up.

5,000-8,000 combat troops means a probable onshore force package of ~ 25,000+ - ~ 50,000+ (ish), depending on how much support is based off-shore. They would dwell under a constant rain of missiles & drones, with an occasional visit from an old-fashioned suicide bomber. Nightmare.

Another day, another Ford recall notice.

3/ If the Bush/Rumsfeld bunch pulled this stunt in 2003-2008, imagine what the Trump/Hegseth criminal clowns are doing today. End

2/ These special arrangements were unacknowledged & undisclosed by mainstream media for years, as were the financial benefits accruing to the Retired Military Analyst (RMA) cadre.

1/ I'm a bit suspicious of retired military talking heads & op-ed authors supporting Trump's war. During the run-up to the invasion & occupation of Iraq, the Pentagon recruited 75 retired officers, gave them special access, briefings & favors, & sent them out to support Bush 43's Iraq policies.

Blumenthal compares Trump/Iran to Custer/Little Big Horn. I call bs. Custer had a plan.

THIS
RIGHT
HERE

Media reporting Trump & Pentagon have a plan to send SOF to seize & evacuate Iran's enriched uranium. I really hope it's not called Operation EAGLE CLAW Part Deux.

Police used AI facial recognition to arrest a Tennessee woman for crimes committed in a state she says she’s never visited | CNN A Tennessee grandmother spent more than five months in jail after police used an AI facial recognition tool to link her to crimes committed in North Dakota – a state she says she’d never been to befor...

Why we protested, why we will continue. We will never forget.

OTOH, how much education does a Laotian kid really need?

Those 7 countries are: Nepal, Bhutan, Laos, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Mali, & Burundi.
