The current debacle in world affairs and US hegemonic ambitions crashes upon the putative leadership in the west.
The common observation bandied about by the "experts" is that there is no apparent strategy or method discernable in US policy abroad, particularly as demonstrated in the middle east currently. The US appears embarrassed by an obsolete worldview. It's policies seemed to be based on delusions rather than reality.
I saw on Tv a squib of Bernie Sanders talking about the 25th Amendment, sounding like the 2015-16 Bernie. The MSN home page offers a nonstop parade of squibs raising Cain about Trump and Israel and their downright EVIL effort to eliminate Iran from planet earth.



Good morning everyone.
Wet and cool here this morning. But the newly planted tomatoes are loving it. Have 3 varieties of onions to do next. Will throw out some lettuce and a little broccoli.

Peace talks ended and bombing on tap. Our Loonie Toons leader:
“There are reports that Iran is charging fees to tankers going through the Hormuz Strait — They better not be and, if they are, they better stop now!” Trump posted Thursday on Truth Social.

We're driving home today from a bird banding on Dauphin Island, so I've posted a story of our trip from last fall to an amazing regenerative farm, White Oak Pastures. This essay largely appeared in our little local paper. I hope you find it of interest, some did.
Maggie is an avid fan of the paper. She particularly enjoyed last months regenerative agriculture article
