In my humble opinion, Trump may have just DELIVERED the US Senate to the Democrats in 2026! (along with the House!)

Trump and the Republicans were ALREADY at 2006 Bush disapproval poll ratings over the economy,
WITHOUT any new middle eastern war----

and NOW they want to add a NEW "Iraq war" on top of that ???

"NOBODY VOTED FOR THAT!"--- and indeed, Trump RAN on
NOT starting any new wars---- before he became a 'neo-con' himself!
Even many MAGATS are now bailing on him over THIS particular 'broken promise'!

And, before he started this NEW WAR against Iran,
Republicans were ALREADY starting to panic about their continued control of the Senate!-----
before this NEW SHIT was thrown against the wall!


I think this will TURN the upcoming Senate general elections
in Ohio, Maine, Alaska and TEXAS---

(and possibly some other states which I can't imagine right now---
and that the Democratic incumbents/candidates in any 'swing states'
will HOLD their seats this November!)


((YEAH, I'd rather that the 'High-Chair Hitler' hadn't done this,
but we can't seem to control him---

but I think this is the 'silver lining'!))



((( Too bad Iranian civilians may 'pay the price' for it,
but 'it is what it is'! )))

THAT'S IT, switching to the 'Gilmore Girls' digital channel, ten minutes before they come on....

Actually I didn't "watch" beyond the first ten minutes, but he's been lying and droning on in the background ever since....

My ancient unloaded shotgun got heavy to hold, so I've been here since then,
reading and possibly saying too much...

"Republican BULLSHIT in Washington D.C. has increased 3,000% since I took office!"

He won't say that, but somebody should--- so I am!

'The Pretender' - Jackson Browne

"caught between the longing for love, and the struggle for the legal tender"

Another of the great 'singer/songwriters' of which I think we have too few today---


Studio version with lyrics:

Live in 1996-

&list=RDfY0Pg2Gu5uM&start_radio=1



I started wearing a 'Jackson Browne' button in 1981,
and lied to one of my co-workers that Jackson Browne
was running for Governor of California!
He initially believed me and was open to that idea,
before I confessed my lie!

Unfortunately my Browne for guv boom-let never took off, being initiated from Michigan,
and the next Governor of California was Republican---
back when they were still strong in that state...

but I still think it was a great idea!

"Taxi" - Harry Chapin, with some personal tie-ins...

This was always my favorite Harry Chapin song--- 'Cat's in the Cradle' notwithstanding---

possibly because it mirrored my fantasies about my first love---
but in my case, I was learning to fly when I met her before my 17th birthday----
and lost interest in it while I was with her. I never got back to it...
probably just as well, I didn't seem to be very good at it, except in my fantasies----

I was pretty close to solo-ing after 20-some dual training hours,
doing a lot of "touch and go" landings at the end---
I recall one instance where my flight instructor said
"you're going to land it yourself this time, even if you break the landing gear off!" LOL
and I did do it that time, without breaking the landing gear off---

but winter set in, I had some hesitance about continuing lessons through the winter,
due to my first experiences with winter driving in an automobile,
and besides that, I was falling in love with this girl--
who also entertained fantasies about becoming an actress!


Little did I suspect at that time, that I would much later work many years
as a taxi driver.... but this song was a favorite of mine before that ever happened!

(There's a certain poetry in that, related to this song---
I'd forgotten it, but youtube served it up to remind me!)

Lyrics:

It was raining hard in 'Frisco
I needed one more fare to make my night
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down
She got in at the light

Oh, where you going to, my lady blue
It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain
She just looked out the window
She said, "16 Parkside Lane"

Something about her was familiar
I could swear I'd seen her face before
But she said, "I'm sure you're mistaken"
And she didn't say anything more

It took a while, but she looked in the mirror
And she glanced at the license for my name
A smile seemed to come to her slowly
It was a sad smile, just the same

And she said, "How are you, Harry?"
I said, "How are you, Sue?
Through the too many miles and the too little smiles
I still remember you"

It was somewhere in a fairy tale
I used to take her home in my car
We learned about love in the back of the Dodge
The lesson hadn't gone too far

You see she was gonna be an actress
And I was gonna learn to fly
She took off to find the footlights
And I took off to find the sky

(bridge

Oh, I've got something inside me
To drive a princess blind
There's a wild man, wizard
He's hiding in me, illuminating my mind

Oh, I've got something inside me
Not what my life's about
'Cause I've been letting my outside tide me
Over 'til my time runs out


Baby's so high that she's skying
Yes, she's flying, afraid to fall
I'll tell you why baby's crying
'Cause she's dying, aren't we all?



There was not much more for us to talk about
Whatever we had once was gone
So I turned my cab into the driveway
Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns

And she said, "We must get together"
But I knew it'd never be arranged
And she handed me 20 dollars for a 2.50 fare
She said, "Harry, keep the change"

Well, another man might have been angry
And another man might have been hurt
But another man never would have let her go
I stashed the bill in my shirt

And she walked away in silence
It's strange how you never know
But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for
Such a long, long time ago

You see, she was gonna be an actress
And I was gonna learn to fly
She took off to find the footlights
And I took off for the sky

And here, she's acting happy
Inside her handsome home
And me, I'm flying in my taxi
Taking tips and getting stoned

I go flying so high, when I'm stoned



(OF COURSE, I did plenty of 'getting stoned'----
but I almost never did it 'at work')

Jewish Space Lasers Shoot Down 99 Luftballons, Pete Hegseth Still Somehow Has Job (Wonkette)

Jewish Space Lasers Shoot Down 99 Luftballons, Pete Hegseth Still Somehow Has Job

Say, you didn't need that airspace over El Paso, did you?
DOKTOR ZOOM
FEB 13, 2026


In the kind of multi-factor clusterfuck that used to lead to scandal, firings, and agency reorganizations, Defense Secretary Drunky Pete McDrunkerson let US Customs and Border Protection dipshits play around with a military anti-drone laser weapon based at Fort Bliss, close to the airport in El Paso, Texas. The idea was to test whether the laser weapon could shoot down drones that cartels on the Mexican side of the border have allegedly been using to observe Border Patrol movements, or maybe even to smuggle drugs, allegedly. (Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says nah.)

Sometime early this week, the CBP dipshits went ahead and used the laser against airborne targets they thought were cartel drones, but which turned out to be party balloons, according to multiple insiders who spoke to several media outlets, presumably while stifling giggles at how stupid it all was.

But because neither the military nor CBP bothered to coordinate their game of laser tag with the Federal Aviation Administration, the aviation agency freaked out and abruptly shut down the airspace over El Paso late Tuesday, saying flights into and out of the area wouldn’t be allowed for 10 days. That’s longer than the nationwide flight shutdown after 9/11. The restriction was ultimately ended Wednesday morning when the White House got involved. The government then lied that it had thwarted an “incursion” by cartel drones into US airspace, but the truth quickly leaked about how all the Captain Kirks at CBP shot down balloons instead.

The Cover Story: Drones Downed, Doom Deferred

The debacle even made it into Pam Bondi’s mean-girl temper tantrum in Congress Wednesday, when she lectured the House Judiciary Committee about how it should pay attention to important stuff like the cartel drone invasion instead of wasting its time asking her about the Epstein Files.

Part of the 'Code of the West' was that you didn't shoot a man in the back,

much less an unarmed man,
much less shooting an unarmed man in the back multiple times, who was already lying on the ground---


Those who did such would have been immediately judged as "cowards and murderers"
and would have been in great danger of 'summary justice' from a lynch mob----


Just sayin'.....
