Here Comes Drumpf’s Big Distraction.
Early next year, Drumpf will green-light war with Venezuela. He will NOT call it “War”, but war it will be. He’ll wait until after Christmas to avoid it being called “Drumpf’s Christmas War.” The aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford is already nearby. Get ready!

Drumpf’s War On Fishermen
“Alejandro Carranza, a Colombian fisherman who, his family said, had long plied the Caribbean in search of marlin and tuna, called his teenage daughter. He told her he was going fishing, she said, and would return in a few days. He never made it back.” (NYT)

Drumpf didn’t show up at this week’s COP30 Climate Conference in Brazil but hey, Newsom did.
I guess Drumpf "Gatsby" was too busy. Besides, he's disavowed global climate cooperation, withdrawn the U.S. from the Paris accord, and blocked renewable energy projects at home.
Now that’s vision .

The Treasury Department has announced plans for a one-dollar coin depicting Drumpf. It gets worse.
Q. What could be worse?

OK OK OK. I tried to be positive but, of course, Drumpf just can't help himself.
Today Drumpf told states to “'immediately undo' any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, threatening financial penalties if they do not comply." (NYT).
He's a complete douche!

Inside a Walmart Dumpster: “I grabbed as much as I could,” she said. “I wasn’t even looking to make sure that it was safe.” (NYT, Nov 7).
For many in America, the dumpster means food. And that's a national disgrace.
Obviously, Drumpf and his administration really don’t give a shit.

As we approach 40 days (and 40 nights) of Drumpf’s government shutdown, traveler's should remember that Air Traffic Controllers are NOT being paid. Drumpf’s 3-step plan:
1. Stop paying air traffic controllers.
2. Expect no problems.
3. Repeat.
FYI, Noah is currently unavailable.

The warmonger speaks. Asked on “60 minutes” about war with Venezuela, Drumpf replied “I doubt it. I don’t think so.” No war, but [a] “Nicolás Maduro’s days were numbered” and [b] Drumpf authorized the C.I.A. to conduct covert action in Venezuela.
Bingo. More undeclared war and then back to golf.

Mr. Vance. Did you actually attend classes at Yale?
The Constitution's 1st Amendment states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”
And yet you publicly pressure your wife to abandon her religion in favor of yours.

In 1960s Milwaukee, I attended a Lutheran elementary school. I was taught 2 rules. (1) Be a good Lutheran & (2) absolutely no dancing. In 8 yrs at St. Lucas there were NO dances, but on Friday nights we all went to a CYO dance at (Catholic) Immaculate Conception School.

2. He supported Drumpf’s $1 trillion cut to Medicaid.
3. He supported Drumpf’s massive cuts to SNAP (food assistance).

Hooray for some good news. “A River Restoration in Oregon Gets Fast Results: The Salmon Swam Right Back”. (Story from NYT).
Salmon had been missing from the headwaters of the Klamath River for more than a century. Last year the final dam was removed and, well, the salmon came back. Again. Hooray!
