Ring Cam Doggie Rescue???
A couple of days ago Lee Camp wrote an article called ‘A Super Bowl Ad Accidentally Showed The Horrific Future of America’ for his substack. I didn’t watch the Super Bowl, even though it featured the Seattle Seahawks and was close to my old home town (Los Gatos, CA), and very close to where I went to college as an undergraduate (University of Santa Clara). So, I never saw this ad. But after reading this article, I’m determined, I am NEVER going to see this ad. And I’m not getting a Ring Camera. And I’ll find my dog, if he gets lost, the old fashioned way, by going out there and searching for him and calling for him and getting neighbors to help…
One of the old fashioned ways of finding your dog – calling it, being outside with it, walking with it… So darned old fashioned! From image.freepik.com

Seems my head is in the wrong place today. No excuses, just a statement of condition.

Good morning everyone.
Got a late start today, so will have only a brief note to get started.
Our "peace president" seems ready to bring his brand of "peace" to Iran at any time now.
I can only imagine how the planning sessions go at the Pentagon with all the branches of military wanting to "get sum" and show their relevancy.

Hot War, Cold War
Bring along the Atom Bombs
Bring along the Atom Bombs
(to the tune Hot Corn, Cold Corn - Live / 1978 · The New Lost City Ramblers)
The on again, off again war with Iran teeters on the whim of the Don. Some how I don't trust his "morality". Many of the analysts in today's column suggest Trump has painted himself into a corner with Iran. This week we let lapse the last of the nuclear treaties, START. No telling what that move will precipitate...a new nuclear arms race, when we already have enough bombs to blown up the world multiple times? The other big news item of the week is the fall out from the Epstein files. Their release is echoing in various western halls of power, especially in Europe. The UK press is trying to promote the lame idea that Jeffery Epstein was a Russian agent. When in doubt, blame it on Russia. All that and more below the fold...
So let me get this straight.
