What about the GOOD War? Trump's War on Drugs is the gift that keeps on giving--to no one, except maybe Trump. Murder at sea, pardons for real drug traffickers, NO, none, zero money to treatment programs...It's a war with something for everyone, if "everyone" is a fentanyl dealer with the sense not to get high on their own supply.
I've never seen or heard that version of Peacetrain. I consider the song one of the most insipid of all time and I wrote Cat Stevens off decades ago (despite being a huge fan). But WOW. That made me cry.

"useful idiot Steve Witkoff to do the negotiating on behalf of the US with no translator"
Witless took his cue directly from the Cantaloupe Codpiece's past actions. Don't forget that the Shocking Orange ShitForBrains met with Vladimir Vladimirovich without a translator from the American side.
Happy New Year to all -- even you RADICAL LEFTISTS out to destroy our country.
Ta, Marcie. Apart from our own federal prison-worthy nogoodniks, Nut'n'Yahoo should be dragged to The Hague, sooner rather than later. This American Jewess wants absolutely nothing to do with that toxic regime. I'm so very weary of Piss on Earth, Goodwill to None (but Daddy Vladdy).
OK it's not open thread yet but I need some Wonketariat assistance.
I was challenged on another blog I follow to name something I consciously jettisoned in 2025 that made my life better. I can't think of anything.
Today would have been my dad's 90th birthday, if he hadn't taken his own life in July. We suppose it was because he couldn't deal with my mom's dementia, which finally claimed her last week at 90 as well. Still reeling.
So, what have we as liberals/sane people been collectively rid of in 2025 that made life better overall?
- Sporky out of Congress won't be til Jan, and she'll be replaced by an equally repugnant MAGA
- CK eliminated : I can't ever celebrate a violent death, and it's arguably made things worse
- BingoBongo out of the FBI - did he ever do anything anyway?
- Various talking heads moved off of Fox but are still festering elsewhere
- Virginia Tech canned their coach and then rehired him in a different role a few months later
I know that Boebert must be feeling the scorn of FOTUS with her tweet that had lots of snark in it. She seems to be going full MTG. Although I admire the intestinal fortitude, she helped create the monster that is going after her and her home state. Therefore, I can never give her a pass since I have been paying too much attention over the years.
Trump is withdrawing the National Guard from Chicago, LA and Portland. Of course with threats to go back if crime increases. Meanwhile the biggest increase in crime in 100 years during 2025 was at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, DC 20500.
I am surprised that ICE hasn't set up sting operations to hire companies to do landscaping jobs or other work at personal residencies. An ICE agent wouldn't even have to leave the house. "Hello, ACME, I have a large outdoor shed that I need built......"
I expect Chump's war-stopping to be up 1,500% in 2026.
At least.

What, no FIFA Peace Prize coverage? For shame!

Happy New Year, Good Riddance Old Year to all.
Hi Wonkets. Here is your evening Zelenskyy. I suppose this is the appropriatest post I can put it in anyway. I think Z has too much confidence/trust in asshole but that is just my humble opinion https://www.president.gov.ua/en/news/novorichne-privitannya-prezidenta-ukrayini-volodimira-zelens-102261
"But ride on the peace train? You misheard, he said, I’m right on the pee stain, and meant he needed a new pair of pants."
* Maybe he said Prost (a personal abbreviation of prostitutes?) Rain:
> "the supposed existence of a "pee tape" allegedly collected by Russian intelligence services. According to the dossier, the tape purportedly shows Trump "employing a number of prostitutes to perform a 'golden showers' (urination) show in front of him" on a bed where the Obamas supposedly once stayed." https://abcnews.go.com/US/confronting-critics-christopher-steele-defends-controversial-dossier-major/story?id=80623385
To continue:

Instead of singing Auld Lang Syne, I might do an Archie Bunker version and call it, "Old Anxiety."
What’s all this about old lawn signs?
I suppose a lot of news & entertainment shows will be doing the "Year in Review" annual round ups. I'm going to have to pass on those this year.

I'm still waiting for his tax returns.
He needs His Troops for the next distraction since ICE raids aren't making the headlines that they used to.
The midterms are coming up. Although, I would say that the city invasions as practice runs for the midterms were a complete flop.
I am surprised that ICE hasn't set up sting operations to hire companies to do landscaping jobs or other work at personal residencies. An ICE agent wouldn't even have to leave the house. "Hello, ACME, I have a large outdoor shed that I need built......"
1. Listen to the reed how it tells a tale, complaining of separations
Saying, “Ever since I was parted from the reed-bed, my lament hath caused man and woman to moan.
I want a bosom torn by severance, that I may unfold to such a one the pain of love-desire.
Every one who is left far from his source wishes back the time when he was united with it.
-- Rumi, first verse of the Mathnawi
The clout that was gotten from casting the pricktator as "anti-war" was epic though, gotta say.
‘A sucker born every minute.’
He can technically keep that title since Congress didn't declare a war.
