Another sudden burst of brutal warfare this morning along the Israel/Gaza border baffles the sense of how shitty Bibi Netanyahu and his government are in actually governing — maybe way, way-too close to the Republican brand here in the States. One of several potent points by Robert Farley at Lawyers,Guns&Money this afternoon: ‘The intelligence failure…
Beyond the domestic tales of treachery with the MAGA/T-Rump Republicans, the Russian near-coup/treachery (or whatever) this past weekend continues to fester itself without any general relief — as been stated long before, what’s known is more unknown right now. Now nearly a week after news of the so-called coup/mutiny/insurrection was mounted by Russian private mercenary…

Near noon here in California’s Central Valley, and the news keeps running through Ukraine. Although Vlad Putin’s boys are losing big time, bungling an invasion and its aftermath, the Ukrainians are holding on tenaciously and beating the sad, incompetent assholes at their own game.
