Yesterday, at about 12:30 pm Eastern (giving him time to type and/or notify an editor), Barak Ravid of Axios received information from the White House that the Liar-in-Chief said he was “in no rush” to decide on restarting war in Iran (Barak Ravid is one of Axios’s reporters, and has had his byline on so many releases or statements from the White House that Malcolm Nance has given him the nicknams “Trump’s secretary.”) Then, about 9:00 pm Eastern (giving him time to confirm it with the Wall Street Journal,write and record it (Ben is quite wordy so it may have been a bit later) Ben Meiselas of Meidas Touch learned that at least five bombs (five explosions were heard) were dropped on Qshem Island, in the Persian Gulf, not all that close to the Strait of Hormuz, but a strategic location in the process of getting oil out of the Strait. Also on Sunday, gas in Colorado Springs (technically in Fountain) and in Pueblo was at $4.19 per gallon. I wonder how much it is now. How much is it where you are (the 84 grade)? You likely knew all of this from your own sources, but possibly not all put together. As I type, I had not yet listened to what Malcoln had to say about this (besides that he predicted it – which he indeed did).

This would, as the saying goes, piss off the Pope. Actually, it probably does – I suspect he knows more than most Popes about what the U.S. was intended to be – and what we are now ain’t it.

OK, a day late (since Tuesday’s my day off) but posting it anyway because – although we’ve won some – it is, I believe, the first time we have won 7-0. Correct me if I’m wrong about that – and really, even if I am, I still think a 7-0 verdict is noteworthy.


This one is optional because it is a 33 minute video. Let me explain. It is an interview between David Sirota of The Lever and Senator Chris van Hollen of Maryland, and the topics discussed include “Does the national Demcratic Party need new leadership?” Y’all probably recognize the Senator’s name, but out of an abundance of caution I’ll remind us that he is the Senator who flew to El Salvador to personally speak with Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia about what really happened to him. (And I agree with the opinion about him of Abdul el Sayed which is quoted in passing.) There is a transcription – and it matches the CC, so it probably contains typos, but it should be understandable.
