Don't remember the name. Wasn't he a used car dealer or something?

And this is the season when farmers need fertilizer. If the price goes up it will kill them.

Ya gotta go into Bump's post and read the posts and replies. It's better than SNL.

We better not get Korea pissed off at us.

If the supply of oil gets tight they might cut off exports, as some other Asian countries are doing, which means no jet fuel for California.

If California runs out of jet fuel, nonstop flights to the east coast might end.

There should be another choice - "copy" perhaps - to reply to things like this.

A heart symbol makes me uncomfortable here.

It's the times. Blowing up kids with a Tomahawk makes me more than uncomfortable.

Forecasts About War Are Usually Wrong—Here’s The Pattern, And Why You Should Worry | Justin Wolfers What if the most reassuring line in politics—“this will be quick and controlled”—is actually the biggest warning sign? War is brutally costly, so the economist’s puzzle is simple: if both sides know…

I'm not quite sure what to call this — a video essay, an explainer, an econ lesson, or something else.

It's my attempt to explain the economics of war — economic theories of how and why war occurs — and to use that framework to better understand our current moment.

Absolutely, flabbergastingly insane.

Really?
The draft caused a LOT of opposition to the war in Vietnam.

Which is worse: pay $5 a gallon for gas or send your son to die.

There are more instances of United States Citizens being detained by ICE than there are of illegal immigrants voting in elections.

Does Donnie WANT an attack so he can declare an emergency and invoke the insurrection act?

This is our country. Donald Trump doesn't own America. He doesn't own the White House. Everything he does relies on our money.

We depend on Congress to represent our interests. They are failing us by allowing him to exploit our money for his personal interests. He & his party of sycophants must go.

Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.

Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

WMD means Chemical, Biological, Radiological.
Don't cheapen the term WMD.

Oh, my. Glad you made it!

Adios Kristi Noem And yet Trump has now nominated to DHS someone even less qualified!

Sure, it seems worth breathing a sigh of relief that Kristi Noem is out at DHS — but here's something almost no one seems to mention: Markwayne Mullin is even *less* qualified than she is to lead the nation's third-largest Cabinet department. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/adios-kris...

Hitting a deer doesn't usually cause injury. Just damage to the grill.

A moose, horse, or other larger animal can come through the windshield though.

Owls, vultures, and other large birds can come through windshield too. They fly along roads looking for prey or roadkill.

Maybe collisions on the highway?
That happens a lot. I've seen cars in front of me hit one a couple times. Knew other people who hit one. Never hit one myself.

Road kill. Yum. Yum.

That snake was posted from someone in the area on Nextdoor.
There have been several seen in the area lately. It's the season.

If the snakes don't get us, the kitty cats will.
