We’ve all seen it by now. I think you know what I’m referring to: President Trumps screed against some podcasters accusing them of being against him (for years), and falling back to his normal mode of ad hominem attacks referring to each of these as Low IQ because they dare question the reason we went to war with Iran a few weeks ago. Of course, we’re told the reason is because Iran was close to producing a nuclear weapon. Wait! Isn’t the reason we (the USA) along with Israel bombed the heck of of Iran, with special targeting of their nuclear facilities where they were producing the enriched uranium, in June of 2025.

Does not calling someone out for something they say indicate the you support what they say? There’s a saying, silence is consent, but is it? It can be for instance if a person is aware of someone else’s awful behavior, yet said nothing about that person because they believed it really wasn’t their business. Well, we could say that about a lot of things couldn’t we? The parents abusing their own child next door, someone we work with that has harassed other workers and would be fired if discovered, but no one is willing to step up and take responsibility, to finally, a close ally that seeks to commit the most horrible crimes against it’s neighbors and we are all witness to because of the available technology.

Well, all of the anticipation by the neocons, the bloodthirsty salvation of death and destruction. The Final Solution, for Iran, came to naught. Of course, there were those that immediately ran to the nearest camera and microphone, expressing their disappointment that their bloodlust would not be sated tonight. Some even applied the “C” word to Trump (that would be “Chicken”, you reprobates) and I can’t imagine what else I’ve yet to hear. So now, as usual for the media, it’s the Speculation Game as to what is actually going on with Trump. My guess is? I have no idea and as far as I’m concerned, he’s just giving the military a couple of weeks off for rest, relaxation, and reload. Of course, the threat is still there: threaten shipping in the Hormuz Strait, keep firing missiles on the neighbors (read; Israel), and the “ceasefire” is immediately over.

I wonder how long it’ll be before Israel becomes antsy and presses Trump into finishing what it (yes, it=Israel) began six weeks ago.

So (queue solomn music) the day and time is set for either compliance or compete destruction. For Iran. If you thought I meant Trump, well, no, that’s what’s known, for you, as wishful thinking. By 8pm Eastern time tomorrow, if there’s not a negotiated ceasefire with the demands of the allies (just Israel and the U.S.) like the reopening of the Hormuz Strait, Hell will rein down in Iran, this time on critical infrastructure. What’s the over under the this will actually happen? I don’t know since I have no connection to any gambling concerns, but if I had to place a number on it, I would say less than fifty percent.

It’s Easter, again and every Easter I think I’m going to write something mostly banal about the true meaning of the holiday: bunnies laying colorful hard-boiled eggs, and woven baskets filled with chocolate and caramel candies. Somehow, we’ve mixed a pagan celebration with a distinctive sacred event for many. As far as I can tell, the church never tried to ban the spring renewal celebration (eggs) and just adopted it as part of Christian renewal. The church did the same in Mexico with The Day of the Dead, the day after Halloween. They folded in a cultural tradition with church ritual. Well, that pretty much covers it. Bye.
