Good morning. Coffee.
ICE is running out of money to operate. The no free lunch rule still holds. Reports are Trump has fled the G7 conference back to Wash DC. I’m not clear why.
Israel and Iran continue to bomb each other. I hope the US stays out of it.
Donald is in Canada for the G7 meeting. So far Trump hasn’t started a war and they haven’t, politely, frog marched him to the border and thrown him out. But it’s early hours yet. I think all the G7 leaders plan to ignore what he says as demented, unfiltered garbage.

Good morning. I opened a new bag of coffee: Aldi house brand dark french roast, which is my favorite.
Trump’s parade didn’t pan out. Now he’s angry and threatening the major cities that had No Kings marches with more ICE raids. Petty, but what did you expect?
Today’s Quote:
Wolfe scowled at her. I could see he was torn with conflicting emotions. A female in his kitchen was an outrage. A woman criticizing his or Fritz’s cooking was an insult. But corned beef hash was one of life’s toughest problems, never yet solved by anyone.

Good morning. Coffee, of course. Breakfast will be something eggy.
The No Kings demonstrations were far bigger than I expected. Peaceful. Thank you to those who marched.

No Kings.

Somebody should make a movie, “Attack of the Giant Brain Eating Amoebas.”
Good morning. As usual, coffee. 1st breakfast TBD.
Trump lavish $45M birthday parade today.
I just checked and No Kings events seem to be happening, locally all around me. I was surprised at so many. You can check for one near you at:
Notice: ICE isn’t raiding any tacky Trump hotels, casinos, golf courses - all very low pay, manpower intensive businesses.
We’ve gone from trickle-down fascism to gushing, overflow, flooding fascism.
For a second there I thought I had a great idea: a channel with no content only ads then I remembered we already have YouTube and XTwitter. Never mind.

Today’s Quote: Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid...AI ate my homework, then lied about it. Blamed the dog.
Good morning. Coffee.
Federal Courts are delivering setbacks to Trump almost daily. The question is, when will Trump crack?
That said, Congress, both Republicans and Dem’s seem to live in a totally separate reality from the rest of the country.
The only thing I use the Amazon Alexa can thingy for is to listen to the news on a “Flash Briefing”. (NPR, BBC, DW, and various others.) So NPR has been stuck repeating the same news summary for 5 days. This happens once in awhile but it’s annoying. I’ll out wait it.

I needed a drink, I needed a lot of life insurance, I needed a vacation, I needed a home in the country. What I had was a coat, a hat and a gun. I put them on and went out of the room.

My garbage bins are out to the curb. This is small beer here in the USA, but major breaking news in the UK where they keenly track bin news. :-)
Good morning. Coffee done. 1st breakfast done.
Gavin Newsom is positioning himself for a run for president by establishing himself as somebody who stood up to Trump rather than kiss up. So some of his positioning is theater. Still he’s no friend of Trump, so points to him.

The girl gave him a look which ought to have stuck at least four inches out of his back.

Youtube seems overrun with crap AI created content. Youtube does not care, because they will show advertisements on crap videos just as easy as good videos. And the amount of advertisements has been growing. Big Tech looting and pillaging while they can.
Haircut, then drugstore for my second singles vaccine shot. Get whatever vaccines you can now before RFK, Jr. outlaws them.
That Australian TV reporter that was deliberately targeted and shot with a rubber bullet, while doing nothing wrong, was shot by a cop from either the LA Sheriff’s Dept. or LAPD but not by National Guard. Just to be clear. There is an agenda here against the press.
Good morning. Coffee done, on tea now. Breakfast was corned beef hash and eggs. Corned beef now comes in smaller 14 oz. cans. Enshitification continues.
The media is part of the problem with the LA demonstrations. They purposefully make it look worse than it is. Drama sells.
