BBC News has put/will put part of their website behind a paywall for visitors from the US. I understand why. But I have subscription fatigue so DW is taking their place in my news rotation. And so German influence replaces British influence.
Good morning. Coffee to start. I’m wondering if climate change will let us grow coffee in the US? We do have the wonderful Kona coffee from Hawaii but land is limited.
No honor or dignity left in the US. It’s all about weasels pimping a ‘deal’. Check your rings after shaking hands.
A couple of years ago food companies were sticking quinoa in everything. Now, looking at labels, quinoa is still around but seems to have lost some of the faddish marketing power it once had.
We’re past peak quinoa.
That’s probably good because nobody knew what the heck it was anyway.

Diplomacy is the art of telling people to go to hell in such a way that they ask for directions.

Good morning. Coffee of course. I have to run errands today.
Last night I was wondering if the Epstein scandal was dying out. This morning I scanned the news headlines and every other headline is about Epstein. And Trump is rattling apart over it. He’ll try for a distraction. Brace yourselves.
NATO is rearming and if the headlines I’m reading paint a true picture, it appears they are buying new arms from other NATO countries and not from the US wherever possible. This is a wise move given the instability of the Trump regime.

Groceries bought and put away. I swear prices have gone up since July 4th. I could be wrong but it seems like it.
Good morning. Coffee somehow reminds me that I should buy groceries.
RealID isn’t really about stopping terrorists, that was an excuse, it’s about catching immigrants and controlling the movements of the citizens. It was a massive power grab. Because they are afraid of you.

Good morning. Coffee was particularly good this morning.
Trump does not want us to talk about Epstein. So Epstein…
News has it, Germany will not buy any more US F-35 fighter planes other than those ordered. You can have the best plane in the world but customers don’t buy from assholes.

Good morning. Coffee with light rain. We needed both.
Ukraine is getting pounded by Russia and needs more help. They need more weapons that can strike deep into Russia. Dribbling out a few defensive weapons just freezes the status quo.
The Epstein scandal is not going away. People who have seen the list, people who were there are coming forward. People are not buying the DOJ and FBI cover up.

Good morning. Coffee done and now all my personalities are debating what to have for breakfast.
In Washington DC, same parade of horribles, different day. They keep packing more clowns in the clown car which is following the giant orange bear riding the tiny bike. Missing is the Epstein float.

Today’s Quote: Second-hand books are wild books, homeless books; they…have a charm which the domesticated ...Trump wants Federal takeover of Washington D. C. He also hints at wanting to takeover New York City. Trump can’t run the Federal Government let alone micromanage major US cities on top of that. Well, let him try, it will be a disaster and he’ll get bogged down with mission creep.
Good morning. Coffee done, awaiting time for 1st breakfast, then tea.
News reports say, Musk has his Grok AI praising Hitler and spouting anti-Semitic stuff. Xtwitter, Grok, Tesla and Musk Space all have a serious problem namely, Musk. The man ain’t quite right and neither is AI.
