"Are You sitting comfortably?!" - take another sip my love and see what you will see- a fleet of golden Trump battleships on a crystal sea- Are you sitting comfortably? Let Merrick cast his spell.-Ride along the winds of time and see where we have been-The glorious age of Trumpalot, when Melania was Queen,- It all unfolds before your eyes, As Merrick casts his spell.-The seven wonders of the world Trump Plaza's he'll lay before your feet,- In far-off lands, on distant shores, so many enemies to defeat. Are You sitting comfortably? Let Merrick cast his spell...
And on that distant shore, a pedestal with the words: My name is Trump, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!” Nothing beside remains.
I (facetiously) assume the Golden Dome will use gold-tipped interceptor missiles that will be called Trump Golden Interceptors (with Trump receiving a license fee for use of his image and name on the side of each missile). That the Dome would fail carries on the tradition of everything associated with Trump.
The most disturbing segment was on the grooming of the coming generation of military 'leaders" who will have to adhere to specific notions of race, gender, political ideology, and religious beliefs. While Trump/Hegseth will be gone at some point (one hopes), there will be a cadre of senior officers in billets who can and will promote and select those of similar qualities and beliefs. A religious military of zealots would be frightening to consider - particularly one led by Dispensationalists.

I'll go with meditative trance (the matter prompting it being, "This wackiness can't possibly be for real, can it?"
I'm thinking if there is a unifying, overarching theme to all this. I think there might, that America, as personified by these buffoons (or vice versa), confronts - a word choice deserving of its own essay - its adversaries - again, word choice - with overpowering (so it believes) heft, whether in kilotons; weaponry (in quantity, technologically, certainly cost); strong-arming "allies" (economically, politically); propping up Israel; and in general, just having, boasting about, and every now and them demonstrating some "throw weight."
In other words, "us v. them," "fir us or agin' us," "our way or the highway," and what have you, but heaven forbid deal with others on this planet as if they have a legitimacy, are worthy of respect as other human beings, may actually have something worthwhile to contribute toward "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness," our dictum but also recognized by many others in their own way. In a word (of many) from the Greeks, "Hubris"? And we know where that leads.
Hello Bill Astore... Have you heard of Provision 224 of the Defense Appropriations Bill?... The Integration of USA, and Israeli Tech?... Ro Khanna has taken a lead against it...
Hello Bill... I wonder who introduced that Provision.... According to 'Foreign Policy' Mag, circa 2005, the NSA generated a Study that Israel is one of the Foreign Adversaries to the USA as regards to Cyber Espionage.... Is the current Dust-Up between DJT, and Netanyahu, just another Kabuki Play?...
Can't think of anything right now. I just took a walk here and walked among large trees and cool summer greenery. I guess that's something. Other than that - what a sad state of the world right now. :(

That is too funny. Though Justin Hayward may never forgive you. :-)

Hello Fireman... Where has been Melania... Was her 'Press Conference' her Sign-Off?...
Good discussion this morning.

Hello Bill Astore... This is a Frank Posting... Thank You... Especially Frank about Zionist Israel...
Yeah - the 'US president yells at Bibi' myth is getting old.

Think I'll zone out too, Bill...

Yes. It's bad news.

So the good news is ...

My daily walks in a local forest are usually the best part of my day.
