Here’s a question for you, Monsieur Fleming,

Why are there so few Quebecois skating in the NHL? The organization is stuffed to the rafters with Scandinavians and East Europeans…what happened? I miss reading those great old French Canadian names in the rosters….

David Rothkopf, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of The DSR Network:

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-iran-mess/

"We don't have people around the president who will say no." he said. "And even if we did, he wouldn't listen to that. And everybody in Washington knows that. All the guardrails, all the processes, all the systems that have evolved over time to avoid just this kind of catastrophe have been shut down, broken down, run around, and we're left with a decaying, elderly, ignorant, paranoid, vainglorious, deluded commander in chief making it up as he goes along."

Rothkopf compared the administration's foreign policy approach to chaotic unpredictability. "[The] Trump administration's foreign policy is sort of following the footsteps of a drunk out of the bar," he described.

"We go to the left, we go to the right, we're doing this, we're doing that. I'm on my knees. I'm standing up, you know, shouting at the heavens."

Rothkopf concluded, "The problem is there has been no planning. There is no sense of consequences. There's no metric by which you can assess what's going on in this misbegotten war and which is the success. There's none."

The planning was CIA and Mossad handing out cash to a bunch of traitors to betray the regime, which worked in Venezuela, but the Iranians tracked them down and arrested them. Despite the hype, Iranian intelligence seems to be pretty good.

As immigrant detentions and self-deportations soar, animal welfare groups in cities like New Orleans scramble to feed, foster and re-home the pets left behind...

Federal agents have conducted large-scale crackdowns in New Orleans, Chicago, Los Angeles and Minneapolis, and smaller roundups from Hawaii to Maine. Hundreds of thousands of immigrants have been arrested. Most have remained locked up and many have been deported.

Left behind have been their dogs, cats and bunnies, even chickens, according to pet rescue groups and animal control agencies.

“What many Americans don’t realize is that there are companion animals being left by families that disappeared overnight,” said Maria Thomas, president of Rolling River, which has been scrambling to find foster and adoptive families for dogs and cats in New Orleans...

Exactly how many displaced pets there are is impossible to quantify. The problem is not tracked by the patchwork of government agencies responsible for animals or by the local and national nonprofits that fill gaps in care.

What agencies and organizations do say is that there have been unmistakable surges in stray or abandoned pets in the aftermath of immigration crackdowns...

Even after leaving the United States, some families hold out hope of being reunited with their pets. It can be complicated and costly.

Ms. Rosales-Fajardo has fostered Cheddar, an athletic Bluetick Coonhound, for a couple who self-deported to Honduras and hoped that their dog would follow.

Medical exams and travel documents for Cheddar are ready, but the transport cost, $4,500, is prohibitive.

Last month, a Guatemalan man surrendered his two cats. He wept as he said goodbye, knowing he would probably be detained when he reported to court days later...

Well, after taking off a year, this week I start back at the gym. I am really looking forward to it. Going to keep it down to light weights and some treadmill walking as that's what my fibromyalgia will allow, but my muscles should start to pop back in a couple of weeks. I saw a picture of myself the other day and I have gotten FAT, officially. Skinny was always a big part of who I was, so being fat is a real change. It's not the easy world being skinny is. I'm not going to get skinny at the gym as I can't work out hard enough to really make a big impact, but I know once I start hitting the weights again, I'll be happy. They gym is truly my happy place (after the ocean shore).

I am locked out of my email, and I don't know why. I'm not sure if tech support will be able to help me as they are based in China.

Nobody, well, few folks 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 believe that a recording of Lindsey Graham in pastel tights with complimenting tutu doing a pas seul rendition of his "I'm a Little Teapot, Short and Stout" dance...

But people still wonder about the means that were used to convert him to Loutism so thoroughly, so quickly...

"We took Iwo Jima. We can take Kharg Island," Graham said. Beyond the pale... Liquor and blackmail don't explain it adequately for me...

MRK's avatar

Why do we always assume blackmail? Is it that hard to believe Lindsey is a spineless asshole who latched onto McCain and then Trump because he truly believes he needs a stronger man to follow, and that following Trump meant shedding what little humanity he had, and he was fine with that?

Diane's Less Hostile Username's avatar

Yeah, he's always been an anti-muslim neocon piece of shit.

Jen has Puce Sarcasms's avatar

Cause he was 100% against Trump, like vocally and Trump usually does not forgive those, until he went to Mar-a-Largo one weekend and come monday did an absolute turn face.

He /almost/ resurfaced during the 1/6 hearings, but then another trip to florida and he was back in line.

It seems plausible it is either blackmail, OR, a fat bank account in the Caymans

That he is also a spineless asshole can be also true

Alpaca Suitcase's avatar

I will never forget his prediction about the republican party. I still hope it comes true.

But he's always wanted to bomb Iran and doesn't care how it gets done.

Jen has Puce Sarcasms's avatar

True that. Boy likes the bombings

MRK's avatar

He was only ever 'anti-Trump' when he thought, briefly, that Trump was losing. And trump's VP said he was Hitler once. Trump doesn't forgive, but he does like making people work for him who said they hated him. See also Rubio and his eight jobs.

Jen has Puce Sarcasms's avatar

I seem to remember, he was anti trump alllll the way right before the convention, when he was clearly running away with it?

MRK's avatar

I don't recall anyone being very vocal about being anti-Trump after the last desperate attempt to get I fucking forgot his name this morning to win a few primaries and create a brokered convention. The whole party seemed to realize at that point they were stuck with him, and almost everyone quietly got in line. Lindsey's only notable because the press has always loved him, for some reason.

Jen has Puce Sarcasms's avatar

Think the party itself was on board well before then, wasn't it? At least the leadership of the party. What's his face, Rince something, was on board the Trump train like a month after the escalator, I seem to recollect, so much so that other candidates like wee Marco complained about it.

Though I still think Lindsey is notable more because he took a trip to Mar-a-Largo and suddenly, within the span of a day, was playing for the other team. That sort of thing is always liable to make people wonder. He might have NOT be blackmailed, or paid off, of course. But I can't fault people for wondering if he had been.

Especially coupled with his drunken breakdown on 1/6

Here is a even better question to ask:

How come these companies have this data that they can then sell to the government?

Land Shark 🇺🇦 🏳️‍⚧️'s avatar

Because the American public has given up their privacy to get free shit. Faceborg, twitter, Insta, WhatsApp, Google, Tik-Tok. The terms and conditions they clicked through to get their FREE EMAIL or whatever grants the company the ability to sell their data to data brokers. Palantir buys that data and serves it up to Ka$h’s FBI on a platter with “plausible deniability”

We need to arrest Thiel and his company's management, take charge of all the accumulated data, and preferably delete it. Shut that down. Everyone not complying should be arrested for espionage against the United States.

And do the same with DOGE participants, fill the prisons with them until they give up all that data accumulated on behalf of billionaires

We have always allowed student prayer in schools. If anyone's ever stopped a kid from praying, it's been an asshole teacher who didn't know their job. What certain people are upset about is that they can't get on the intercom and lead the whole school in prayer.

6:1 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven....

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
