Open Bar: Curbside Pickup Only

[QuestionsTheSoil]

Getting back to working on a book of poems. I hope to get it published. I just got hit with major medical expenses, so any extra income helps. Plus, I want to be paid to do something I love.

I find it very refreshing that the world is finally starting to make sense again.

Tariffs on islands full of penguins, and desultory shootings in the street by SS-wannabees that don't even have proper uniforms, I can't work with.

But starting a war in the middle-east is simple to understand.  The penguins do not publicize their third-quarter results, but anyone can read about the Dardanelles campaign, and see how it went.  Now all the boats are stuck, markets and the price of oil are fluctuating wildly, and the goats are at last flying home to roost.

The feedback loop of causality has closed once more, and it's just so damn fun to see actions having consequences that would have been immediately obvious to anyone who read the least bit of history.

Trump was actually told what would happen.  But Hegseth said "nu uh" and Trump chose to believe him.

I guess he figured if he shouted enough, the IRGC would quit.
