Retired moderately liberal.
I smell a modern version of Vietnam somewhere. How will China/Russia funnel arms/explosives to insurgents? Targets may be U.S. military/civilians, oil wells run by U.S. companies, U.S. supporting infrastructure.

The billionaires are buying gold and hiding money in foreign locations to hedge against what they are creating. Tech stocks are dominating the stock market. Not sure if it's 1929 or 1999. Guess we will see. Not good for us regular people.

Last night's Presidential address: A senile demented old relative sitting at the family Sunday dinner table ranting about this and that. Everyone else having their own discussions while ignoring him.

I've said it before and now that the new national security policy is published, it is even more important.

Watching and reading various comments about the extra judicial killings in the Caribbean including the latest revelations about the second strike on survivors. I am reminded of my night over the water south of Cambodia 1975 in support of a hijacking of the Mayaguez. As

So Kuchner and associates supposedly negotiate a Ukraine peace plan forgetting about the Logan Act: The primary law governing non-government citizens conducting foreign policy is the Logan Act (18 U.S.C. § 953), which prohibits private citizens from interfering with official U.S. foreign relations.

Mandami looked the man in the eye, found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. He had a very good dialogue. He was able to get a sense of his soul; a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country.

"Sold down the river": AI says: "In contemporary use, the expression refers to a profound betrayal or disloyalty by someone trusted. For example, "He felt like he was sold down the river when his partner took credit for his work".

After the previous Supreme Court nominees lied to Congress about following precedent, does anyone seriously believe what Fed candidate Stephen Miran is going to testify in his hearing? 😅😅😅

"The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing." Is this Macbeth or Trump?

Just couldgetbthis quite off my mind:
from Macbeth, spoken by Macbeth)
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

AI kinda says: "A MAGAlomaniac is a pathological egotist, someone with a psychological disorder with symptoms like delusions of grandeur and an obsession with power. Use the word MAGAlomaniac for people convinced of their absolute power and greatness.

Just remembering when Trump said he could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue New York, shoot someone and get away with it. He many have just contracted that out to an Iranian suicide bomber.

First Gulf War President was George H.W. Bush, not George W. Bush. Best part was, H.W. Bush worked with allies to get them to pay for most of it. Unlike 2nd Gulf War by W. Bush which was conducted on our dollar with a false premise.

From my military experience, the operations and maintenance budget was the most underfunded. Using this funding to support MAGA/ICE operations will severely hinder real training and equipment maintenance.

Hegseth is spending military operations and maintenance funds like drunken military on leave ..... Oh! Wait!
