Sunny this morning after an early storm with heavy rain and high winds. I am still recovering from the time change. Since I retired that twice yearly jolt to my system doesn't hit as hard but my biological clock is still a bit out of wack. The cats are even more disturbed. Like most other pets they like a regular schedule and shifting the times puts that schedule out of line with their biological clocks also. They are both settling down now. I also ignored my reading list so it is time to go through it.
First off, I found this piece by Bill Astore at his BRACING VIEWS substack. Once upon a time I wouldn't have imagined that I would ever consider that the government would lie so baldly. They might shade the truth, minimize the story, or such. But today, after especially the past 25 years, I take everything the government spokespeople (and the President) say with a BIG dose of salt. I don't really trust anyone else in power anywhere in the world.
CROOKS&LIARS posted another episode in the "Grifters Living Like Billionaires On Our Dime" serial. Features our "Secretary of War" and follows Kristi Noem and Kash Patel. And we can't forget the First Family. I wonder if Noem has moved out of the Coast Guard Commandant's residence since she isn't with Homeland Security any more.
I will say that Noem's departure has had one positive outcome: I haven't seen any of the whitewashing ads praising ICE agents.
Stray thought: Trumps lackeys tell us the Iran is either breaking of is broken. They have nothing left to fight with. Sounds too much like the story we got about "obliterating" the nuclear threat. Or the Oval Office meeting about a year ago when Trump, very rudely, told Zelensky he had to make major concessions to Russia because he "didn't have any cards." Well, Ukraine is still standing and Iran seems to have some options other than "unconditional surrender."
