A competent White House would have been ready to escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz from the get-go, not weeks after launching an illegal war and causing what the International Energy Agency calls “the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market."
Did Trump pocket all of the money he “gained” through his tariffs?
You mean to tell us those “amazing tariffs” didn’t reduce the deficit?
Did someone tell the Trumpublicans?
Big hugs right back! ❤️
I hate moving with a passion.
But the two places are close and I’m able to go slowly.
Staying in Mom’s house will be hard. I’m not sure I can ever think of it as my home but it’ll be cozy and safe and I’ll take good care of the old place. .
If the midterms were held today…
🌏 The World Has Changed From Multilateral To Multipolar 🌎
This is a transition from a world guided by shared rules, institutions, & US-led cooperation (multilateralism) to one where several, competing power centers (poles) prioritize their own interests (multipolarity).

😬 Be safe!
Oil and gasoline prices are rising as the war in Iran intensifies and other global conflicts affect supply.

I’m ok. Been very busy preparing my mom’s house to move in and mine to move out of.
Still can’t believe my mom is gone.
20+ years of caring for her and I feel lost still. But my grandchildren are keeping me busy and injecting my life with laughter. Funny how life goes on.
How are you, Colleen?
India is turning to polluting fuels such as biomass, kerosene and fuel oil as war-led gas shortages weigh on households and industries.
"Operation Epic Fury" is "a ridiculous and embarrassing name."
"After all, this is a war that Trump has characterized as merely a 'little excursion'…not very 'epic.' And 'fury'? That’s not perhaps the term to choose if you want to reassure…that this war is based on sound strategic judgment."
Trump WILL lead us into WWIII- it’s obvious.

Life in
Trump’s failing America
Federal Judge John Coughenour, a Ronald Reagan appointee, says he’s received dozens, if not hundreds, of death threats after he blocked President Trump’s bid to end birthright citizenship last year.
You can be sure that’s been condoned by the occupant.
The most important question is whether purportedly cheaper, more nimble, more accurate AI-driven systems can, in fact, be deployed in a way that would promote peace and stability rather than yet more war.

He’s right. Although Trump is already compromised.
A bunch of yellow flowers, flowers that will have to act as our sunshine until we get actual sun instead of 22 straight months of snowfall.
On the 195th snowy day in a row, we need something bright to break through the gloom.

Morning.
Cranky-faced calico cat on a pink blanket. The wall behind her is also painted pink. It's my wife's favorite color.
Porchsia is not amused by the neighbor's barking dog.
(Her name is spelled that way cause she was porch-cat before she became ours and a house-cat. )

Too late.
Some nights you don’t need advice.
You need a song that understands.
This is Hazel. She did some minor redecorating while you were out. Hopes you like it. 12/10 (TT: kelly_smith02_)
Another word you might use for it is "looting".
"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

When Ilkay Kantarmaci's younger brother, Mertkan, announced a hiatus from training in 2024, Ilkay took the reins of a 27-horse stable at Belmont Park, placing him in the leading role of a training career.
Another hush money payment.
An "excursion" is apple picking, not bombing the crap out of an enemy.
