Wednesday Reads: 100 Days of Horror

Good Afternoon!! Recent quotes from Donald Trump: "I rule the country and the world." "I'd like to be Pope." Talk about grandiosity! These remarks have been characterized in the media as "joking," but Trump doesn't really have a sense of humor. From The Atlantic: The article is mostly gossip; it's written by Ashley Parker and Michael Scherer, who used to write gossipy stories for The Washington Post.

Tuesday Cartoons: All means all.

Good morning. I was out of town all day yesterday, Bebe had her MRI scheduled and it was an all day thing. I do not know what news transpired yesterday…so I am just sticking with cartoons for now. Anyone out there can tell me if I am reading this right! It sounds like martial law is going to be in force in 90 days… And finally this: This is an open thread, stay safe.

Mostly Monday Reads: It’s the Policies Stupid!

Good Day, Sky Dancers! I don't know about you, but these first 100 days of #FARTUS have taken a toll on me.  So many bad policies in such a short time have me spinning and anxious. I can't even plan my one-person, small-house, semi-retired life.  I can't even figure out what state and local governments, big and small businesses, and the courts have on their hands right now.

Good Day, Sky Dancers! File this under news you can use. You know that I warn y'all when I throw dem bones and come up with something you need to know.  I will give you some analysis that should give you a heads-up on shortages at most major retailers, likely starting within two weeks.  You may remember that our Black Swan Event, the COVID-19 pandemic, led to the Great Toilet Paper Panic of 2020.

Mostly Monday Reads: Oops!  He did it again! 

Good Day, Sky Dancers! The Trump Kakistocracy continues to upset the operations of every agency in the country. Unfortunately, some of the most necessary and strategic posts have been filled with village idiots.  After the revelation of the first SignalGate, you would think there would be more quick changes to protect the conversations at the top of the Pentagon and the Department of Defense.
