Old, grumpy git. I don't eat Tofu, but am otherwise a fully paid up member of the 'Wokerati, or, to paraphrase POTUS, a 'Radical Left Lunatic' who loves fairness, equality and DEI.

I've studied Classical Guitar since retiring, and can now read music reasonably. I've played Acoustic Guitar, intermittently, for most of my adult life. I've also taken up the Mandolin in recent years.

"The other day your faithful podcast host argued that Donald Trump’s presidency is in free fall in terms of public opinion. Now the signs are even clearer: His approval ratings have dropped below 40 percent in The New York Times’ polling averages and in two other sets of averages as well. That’s a critical milestone."

Donald Trump’s Presidency Is in Free Fall

As Trump’s unpopularity hits a crucial new milestone, Indivisible co-founder Leah Greenberg reflects on what the massive turnout at the No Kings protests shows about his cratering with the public.

Just so you know, and despite what this Supreme Court does determine, Trump's plan to limit birthright citizenship is blatantly illegal and obviously unconstitutional.

I'll tell you where shithead's common refrain for doing something in "2 or 3 weeks" comes from:

This is how he strings along vendors who do work for him or his companies when they press for payment. He is notorious for not paying contractors. He will tell them he'll pay in 2-3 weeks over and over until they either get tired of asking and write it off, or shithead claims the work was bad and so refuses to pay for it.

I worked for a guy who did this. He eventually was sued out of existence for theft of service when he tangled with the wrong company. I had bailed long before then and heard through the grapevine.

I'm just saying that this is an automatic response. There is no truth there and no one should believe it. It's his ethos.

"A new CNN poll shows Donald Trump’s approval rating on the economy has fallen to a career low of 31%, with most Americans saying his policies have worsened economic conditions. Rising gas prices—linked to the Iran conflict—are a major factor, with many households reporting financial strain and cutting back on spending."

"Trump is clearly enjoying living in a complete fantasy world where the US can simply walk away from the mess it made and let other countries figure out how to deal with it."

Trump Says Seven Impossible Things About Iran Before Breakfast

Nuclear weapons experts are warning that the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, ostensibly launched to prevent the country from obtaining nuclear weapons, may have instead made an Iranian bomb more likely.

> That is because prior to the war, Iran was held back not by technical constraints but diplomatic considerations, say two nuclear weapons experts who were involved in past U.S. efforts to sanction and contain the country.

ANALYSIS | Iran's nuclear constraints were more diplomatic than technical. Then the bombs started dropping | CBC News

Nuclear weapons experts who were involved in U.S. efforts to sanction and contain Iran say the decision to attack the country is more likely to restart its nuclear program than dismantle it. A regime that previously believed that pausing at a "threshold" stage of 60 per cent enrichment would protect it from attack has learned that is not the case.
