This would be fabulous. A couple of weeks ago I climbed on my roof and washed my solar panels. It wasn’t much fun.

Lindsey Graham, in an unhinged rant, said people got Hitler wrong, Donald Trump is the right man at the right time."
What the Hell???

In South Burlington, Vermont, protesters are being tear-gassed by ICE and local police as they attempt to prevent a kidnapping.

Just racism.

My bad.

I’m surprised she has a bachelors degree. I’m not surprised she has a law degree from Liberty. The school invented to make ultra right wing anti democracy Christian lawyers. Established after W stole the election.

Ugh. I told hubby to bring his own translators to biz meetings. He brought them without telling the others at the meeting. It was eye opening.

Ketchup!

2+ feet of rain is a lot. And then it will wash down the mountains. Lots of flooding.

They didn’t have a plan to get American citizens to safety.

Pentagon officials told lawmakers in a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill on Tuesday that they estimated the cost of the war against Iran had exceeded $11.3 billion in the first six days alone, according to three people familiar with the briefing. The estimate did not include many of the costs associated with the operation, such as the buildup of military hardware and personnel ahead of the first strikes. For that reason, lawmakers expect the number to grow considerably as the Pentagon continues to calculate the costs that accumulated just in the first week. Still, it appeared to be the most comprehensive assessment Congress had received so far amid mounting questions about the objectives, scope and time frame for the war. The New York Times and The Washington Post reported earlier that defense officials had said in recent congressional briefings that the military used up $5.6 billion of munitions in the first two days of the war. That is a far larger amount and munitions burn rate than had been publicly disclosed. The Center for Strategic and International Studies had estimated that the first 100 hours of the operation cost $3.7 billion, or $891.4 million each day. The first wave of the bombardment used weapons including the AGM-154 glide bomb, which can cost from $578,000 to $836,000. The Navy …

$2bn/day, with $2.8bn/day in munitions alone over the first two days. I tend to think of myself as a Large Number Scale Understander but this is just mind-boggling amounts of money.

One positive side effect might be the downfall of the Saudi regime installed by GB.

Headlines:

3 cargo ships have been attacked.

The Strait of Hormuz remains choked off.

Reports of some Iranian oil getting through to China.

GCC slowing down oil production due to lack of storage.

Gas prices have gone up for 11 straight days.

Donald Trump is a pedophile.

The more such cases are publicized and taken to court, the more people might start to believe victims. I’ve heard from ppl now exposed to the Epstein files say they wouldn’t have believed it without the reams and reams and the number of victims.

Of course they did. Just like the Metropolitan Police ignored Epstein because prosecution would be too hard. Wimps. Lawyers afraid they’ll lose a case and negatively affect their stats. Is their pay tied to their success rate? Likely.

But…DEI!

Well I know the Apple Maps of my address are wrong. I keep trying to let them know but it’s impossible. I try to warn ppl trying to find me that Apple doesn’t have my street name in its database even though my street was built and named by 1960. The name has never changed.

Bad idea. As difficult as it may become, the planet will be better off if we learn to do without oil and gas. While I dread the hardship I welcome every shock that might trigger change and escape from the chokehold of fossil fuels.

They don’t hide it. One look at hubby (elderly, so white he’s pink) and they let it all out. Little do they know he has hated the GOP since he was tear gassed at UC Berkeley in the 1960s-70s.

One item will be a serving of 3 French fries. Another will be a cup of coffee (creamer and sugar will cost extra). The third will be a slice of bread (margarine extra- no butter).

Yesterday Trump said the war was almost over. Hegseth bragged about the largest attacks ever. This morning three tankers are burning in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump’s strategy is a failure of Epstein proportions.

I’ve wondered about this for over 65 years now.

If we paid for it, we own it and can resell it.

They whined that it would’ve been too hard. So effectively sex trafficking is legal in GB.

He only cares about one person.
