Headlines: Nearly all headlines describe Trump’s speeches or comments as “rambling”. The man cannot focus or stay on topic, he just babbles away. It’s not a good sign. Trump should resign.

Rumor: Sec. of ‘War’, Hegseth is firing top generals who oppose use of ground troops in Trump’s Iran war. If true, this shows where Hegseth and Trump are leaning. Ground troops in Iran will not go well.

I remember the NASA Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs and was rocket/space crazy as a kid. Like others have mentioned, I don’t see a compelling need right now to send humans to the Moon with Artemis II. It can wait. Explore w/robots.

Full disclosure: I did not like Space Food Sticks.

I remember Nestlé Quik chocolate and strawberry powders, with the pry off steel lid. So I bought a bottle of their strawberry pre-mixed liquid milk drink to try. Not like I remember as a kid, but that was many decades ago. Not compelling. i won’t buy again.

We’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto.

Good morning.

Prediction: Trump is going to use the cost of our forever war with Iran as an excuse to try to cut Medicaid, Medicare and many other gov’t services, because “there is a war on.” A war which he started without any clue as to what to do.

Good morning.

There’s little point in having April Fools Day when crazy has become the daily or hourly norm and legit headlines read like something out of The Onion.

Meanwhile, where’s my ballroom?

Good morning.

US Mattress Tag Police are being sent to airports to help with long TSA lines.

Trump says the non-war with Iran is shiney, going smooth, total victory expected Real Soon Now. Nothing to see here, move along.

Trump is micro-managing US just fine, no need 4 states, congress, supremes.

Good morning.

Trump might be negotiating with Martians from the planet Mars, after Trump threatened to invade Mars. Nobody knows why we need to invade Mars or how, but a WH spox said Trump knows they are a threat and nasty. Some claim Mars has giant Viagra mines, an essential resource.

Good morning.

I got my Covid-19 spring booster shot this morning. Yea me!

Adding things to my bucket list:

Tear down some important building and build a ballroom.

Win a dozen dollar store peace prizes.

Start a war.

Chase away all my allies.

Bury my ex on a golf course.

Burn Rome.

Give away shoes while Rome burns.

Spend money like a drunken sailor.

Uninvite Vance.

Good morning.

Seen and Heard: Trump wants his signature to appear on all US currency. Somebody on social media has suggested people should redact the signature on the bills, just like the Epstein Files are redacted, with a Sharpie. One has to admire whoever thought that up.

I got a robo-call from my insurance company today. The first thing it said was if I wanted to opt-out of these calls to call this number. Both a robo-call and having to call a number to opt-out are dark patterns. I hung up, they can send me a letter.

My morning snark is better. By the end of the day my brain is tired and I’m not up to snarking.

For the amount of time you spent in the airport TSA line, you probably could have just driven to your destination.

Good morning. It’s back to being cold here. Winds out of the North. Drat.

Unconfirmed Headlines: Surface to air missiles, earmarked for Ukraine are being sent to the Persian Gulf instead. It shows we are running out of missiles AND Trump really wants to screw Ukraine which is wrong.

Let’s face it, DOJ is doing nothing to investigate people in the Epstein Files. They have no intention of doing so. This is a cover-up by intentional neglect.

My pharmacy just called me to let me know I was eligible for a spring Covid booster shot based on my age and medical history. That was good and proactive of them and I appreciated it. I think I’ll get that done.

Good Morning. I went to Longhorn and had a steak for supper last night. It’s been a long time. I got an important task done and the steak was my reward to myself. I believe in the reward system.

Headlines: ICE is starting to check ID’s in airport security lines. Be warned.

If your computer or smartphone, that you just paid thousands of dollars to buy, requires you to verify your ID and age it means you don’t really “own” it, you’re just a serf. It also means zero privacy. All part of Big Plan.

Good morning.

Tech headlines say Apple will add advertisments to Apple Maps. Everything is turning to sh*t both online and offline so I guess Apple couldn’t resist piling on.

Full Disclosure: I don’t care about pickleball.

Good morning.

The White House breifings/press releases/spin about the Iran War remind me of the “body count” breifings from the Vietnam War. These were bureaucratic fabrications designed to make it sound like we were winning when we were not.

IYKYK

Good morning. While US military risks their lives in Iran War, Trump is “war partying” lavishly at Mar-a-Lago, per reports.

Trump seems to reverse himself on Iran almost hourly. He seems to be increasingly unhinged.
