Trump Drops Bunker Buster and F-Bombs on Iran How Does It End?
It was a big week for America as we flexed our technological prowess in war and in space. With the help of Elon Musk, we sent our Artemis II spaceship to the dark side of the moon in an early step toward humans surviving on Mars. In college I thought I could survive on Mars but nearly ended up with Type 2 diabetes. The controversial Kristi Noem was replaced at DHS. Afterwards - and curiously - pictures surfaced of Noem’s husband showing he had some fetish with himself wearing big women’s breasts. Being a conservative Christian, Kristi said she is staying married. Maybe they can combine the Iran war and her predicament into a two-for-one Conversion Therapy class, turning both him and Hormuz Strait.
Blue Tide?
Last Sunday, 78% of eligible voters in Hungary voted out Vicktor Orban as President. Orban, endorsed by Draco II, Putin, and Netanyahu, even got a personal visit of support from VP J.D.

Let’s just go to Wendy’s and hope the whole thing blows over.” And then there’s “literally.” Reporters often say, “Police are literally combing this neighborhood for clues.” That must be one big comb.
Trump acts like a toddler
Canada, Mexico, Denmark/Greenland, Venezuela, Iran, Cuba. What other sovereign nation has Mr. Trump bullied, tried to antagonize, or threatened to attack? Any NATO country?
We aren’t debating topics anymore
This is in response to Joe Sheeley’s “Last Letter to the Editor.” I recognized it was you without even seeing the name and I agree with you. I’ve followed your letters over the years. From my own letters, I know some folks read them, but like you, I’m not sure anyone is listening. At least anyone in a position to do things.

My wife suffered a freak fall recently that fractured two vertebrae and broke her collarbone. The ambulance took her to the local hospital where she was treated, and then sent home.
