My Tiny Frugal Life

First, he's going to attack and take over Cuba, then put up a base with missiles aimed straight at Mexico. He might even "accidentally" blow up some of Mexico's oil platforms in the Gulf OF MEXICO.

Bush at least had a competent administration and military leaders to make sure he did it right. I have a feeling Venezuela will soon realize they just traded one dictator for a worse one.

Trump IS the axis of evil. He'll go after Mexico for sure. They have a lot of oil and it's nationalized. He just wants it all .... oil is power and money, just look at Saudi Arabia. That's how rich he wants to be.

Ditto....and I'm 73.

You really expect them to work on a weekend? Not happening.

I wonder how many social programs they are going to cut to pay for this takeover?

Regarding the U.S. attack on a sovereign nation and the kidnapping of its leader and his wife, I wonder if anyone has even considered how badly this is going to piss off China. After all, they get a huge amount of oil from Venezuela, don't they?
Just sayin'

Maybe he's going to let that guy run the drug cartels in Venezuela.

From what I hear, they are celebrating. It's cognitive dissonance. If they denounce this, they will have to admit they were lied to and are truly idiots.

Crap with my COVID checks. I wish I had saved it and done something useful with it. Instead, I have hundreds of dollars worth of NOTHING useful. I can't even tell you where most of it went.

You know who else has a large amount of nationalized oil? Yep, that would be Mexico. I have a feeling that the takeover of Cuba will involve a military base with weapons aimed directly at our neighbor to the south.
But nobody listens to me when I say these things.

I am just not believing what I'm seeing today.

I Just Can't

You won't know this, but you know what else was a "peacekeeping mission" and was never a declared war??? VIET FUCKING NAM!!!

Of course he said that. He destroys anyone who doesn't do what he wants.

Get used to it, Lauren. This is only the beginning.

I feel like the people of Venezuela are not going to be too happy with their new American occupiers.

Exactly. There is no "rehabilitation" in prison unless one seeks it for themselves, and most won't. There is some education, like GED classes, and some have learned enough from the prison library to qualify for college, but that's rare. In some states, prisoners can take online college courses.

Rice mixed with succotash (corn and lima beans). Those three combined are filling, vitamin packed and create a complete protein when eaten together. So you have your protein and two vegetables all in one. I add butter for dairy also. High carb, but I can't eat high protein so this is good for me.

Landlords gouge victims of LA fires The devastating fires in Los Angeles have killed 24 people.

1. CAUGHT ON ZILLOW

Popular Information has identified dozens of LA landlords who jacked up rents by as much as 100% after the fires started and thousands of people lost their homes.

California's price gauging law prohibits increasing rent by more than 10% during a state of emergency

You need to change that water out at least every couple of days, and wash out the jars. IME they will rot from the bottom if you don't.

I was a country music fan for years, but stopped listening when they all went MAGA. I don't tolerate fools well.

Proud of you for leaving the Post, unfortunately, I will not be able to read your new blog because I can't afford to subscribe to substack. Good luck, though.

I wasn't too worried until I saw how the media is bowing down to him. This is how authoritarians take over. First, they dismantle the media (social media included now), so that no one can hear anything they don't want them to.

This administration is going to be much worse than the first. At least the people in the first were qualified and professionals. I really cannot see anyone telling the truth if they want to keep their jobs. This is why none of my social media is under my real name, and why I quit all Meta sites.

My son has a 3D printer that he left here while he's overseas. He tried to teach me to use it, but it's way above my intelligence level.

I was at the first Earth Day and I've been campaigning for the environment ever since. It's a hard fight against the industrial complex and all their billions of dollars, but we can't stop.

I simply can't with these hypocrites. This is why I left Christianity. I used to be a Carrie Underwood fan, but no more. She has stepped across the line of sanity into MAGAville.
