Mobilization?
Eastbound on the Transcon, posted Friday the 13th. Could well have nothing to do w/ the current aggression. Of course, they may well think these will be needed for the impending imperialist agression against Cuba.Mostly Stryker Fighting Vehicles. The U.S. allegedly has 4,466.

We really should have stayed w/ railroads. Those Wright Bros. have much to answer for.

Things To Get Worse
Bus stop.
Literally losing my mind, senses, train of thought or something. Framed for a still but proceeded to record video w/o realizing what the hell I was doing*. Whatever. Blade Runner is here.The punchline is that there will be free-standing moving assaults on your eyes & mind, w/o the excuse of a bus stop.
Hope someone hacks this crap & posts venomous anti-consumption, anti-capitalism, anti-billionaire memes, or even something serious. Images of victims of Trump's War, how much tariffs cost you, a daily inflation report.

A Day Early
Lucky 13, as the Postal Service estimated delivery would be Sat. the 14th. Here is 150+ US$ in Chinese Coca-Cola® rolling stock & a loco, from 2004, I think, & $65-ish for the Santa Fe switcher. The Coke® loco runs, but it & the cars need new couplers.
And the stand doo-dad (Do-hickey?) for the semi-trailer needs to be leveled, no big deal as I intend the trailer to be removable. Someone appears to have re-glued it.
Seller wanted $99.99, I offered $90.00 & the money was out of the credit union acc't. before I knew it. Should've offered less, but I'm no haggler. Next time for sure. Could've run as much as $249.99 in box, w/ the transformer & a tiny circle of probably crummy track that might not be compatible.

Never Anyone As Stupid
Never
Because no native-born "white" American has ever gone on a shooting spree, like I'm about to.Alexandra Marquez / NBC News:
Trump blames recent attacks on ‘genetics’ of assailants — President Donald Trump previously told a radio show that immigrants who become murderers had “bad genes.” — President Donald Trump on Thursday blamed “the genetics” of the assailants in a string of recent attacks

Gay Race Commie Globalism!
Scared Yet? You Should Be!
"Which [sic] is me." Me me me me me, you hear? Whenever he's "martyred" he'll be forgotten in the blink of an eye.
- Joshua Haymes calls on Christians to "wake up and put an end to gay race commie globalism that has been importing Mohammedans by the millions into our country."
- Finally, intent on seeing the GOP destroyed so "we get a Nazi to run in 2028," Nick Fuentes declares that any of his followers who refuse to vote for the Democrats in the midterms is "a disloyal pussy": "If you don't do it, it is personally disloyal to the leader, which is me."
Lying Through The Mail
Don't sign it, do send it back. They have to pay for business reply mail.
And if it does make the ballot, vote no twice, & vote thrice for the Tax the Billionaires bill!
Lying trash. The billionaire bastards behind these lies want all sorts of money for their "special interest": Not paying any taxes of any kind at all, ever.
Friday Freak Out
Have some real damn music!
Friday Factoid
As pointless as the rest of this item, yet another digitally mutilated image of the sky & trees, because I can't stand looking at what's been done to the planet to manufacture this world of shit & pain.
Not merely the second Friday the Thirteenth in as many months (one more this yr., in Nov.) today is also the 72nd day of the yr., meaning we're one-fifth of the way through this annus horribilis. But who's counting?
An Honorable Man
[Political Wire]“They’ve been killing innocent people all over the world for 47 years. And now I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!”—

Current Economic Slump
No kidding. This reporter has used a credit card to meet annual deductibles. Now regretting blowing US$150.00 on Coca-Cola® train tat last wk., then having to pay a $250.00 deductible & $47.00 co-pay this wk.Reed Abelson / New York Times:
A Third of Americans Have Cut Spending or Borrowed Money for Health Care — As medical costs rise, more than 80 million people have made sacrifices like skipping meals and driving less, a new survey finds. — Americans are feeling the squeeze from rising health care costs, and they are already doing without.

| Thanks to "Floater Pharmacist", who got on the horn, appealed the price & got it knocked down to merely excessive. |
Both up from last yr., each by about $12.00, making the monthly co-pay US$144.00 more every yr. Good thing the medication in question has transmogrified me to a breatharian & I no longer need to waste money on idiocy like "food". Literally did not eat anything solid yesterday, just several cups of tea & iced coffee. Higher spiritual plane, losers!!
Some of the sucker-ass chumps may be wising up. Of course, waiting for the American public to wake up & smell the coffee can take two eternities.
Of Course He Did
Why do you think they call them pigs? Someone's lying there w/ their life ebbing away & this sissified pantywaist therapy victim suffers an "anxiety attack" & comandeers the ambulance. What effing next from these bastards?Dave Collins / Associated Press:
Officer having anxiety attack took ambulance sent for man dying from police shooting, report says — A man who was shot by police and later died had to wait 10 extra minutes for an ambulance after an officer having a “mild anxiety attack” took the first one that arrived at the scene, according to a newly released state investigation.

Meanwhile, next door to Washington, billions of your dollars for murder, not a penny for the home front:Why do Republicans hate America so? At least hate the whole sordid mess for the correct reasons.How much is the Iran war costing taxpayers? Here's what estimates show
At least $11.3 billion spent in the Iran war's first days surpasses funds allocated to the National Cancer Institute – $7.4 billion. It nearly reaches the $12.4 billion spent on Head Start.
"Some ambivalence". Fat Boy doesn't give a shit, so the rest of us can just fuck off.President Trump told Speaker Mike Johnson in a private conversation this week that “no one gives a shit about housing,” according to four sources who heard the speaker recount the conversation, Punchbowl News reports.This wouldn’t be the first time that Trump has signalled some ambivalence on addressing America’s housing crisis.
Today In Filthy Hypocrisy
Where's the sternly-worded vote against the United States' & Israel's illegal & horrific "Holy War"/jihad against Iran, which started all this? Tell the aggressors to stop, not those defending themselves! Your so-called leaders are all cowards, none of whom can handle the truth, but bend over & keep taking it, sheep!! You're all guilty, & you'll all be punished, just not soon enough for me!!!

Tell The Truth Now!
Don't hold your breath. As Froomkin types, it isn't up to the journalists, but their institutional masters.The war makes it more urgent for journalists to call out Trump’s derangement
Still nagonna happen.I sincerely hope that the leaders of our top news organizations are doing some serious introspection right now.Maybe they’re searching for the right language – they just can’t bring themselves to use words like deranged or dangerous.
Well here are some things they can say – in the institution’s own voice — that don’t sound so extreme, all of which are backed up by extensive evidence.
He is volatile. He is unreliable. He lacks credibility. Sometimes he is incoherent. He is asserting dictator-like powers. He operates in a bubble of enablers. When he utters a falsehood, it is because he is lying or because he has lost touch with reality – or both. He is being misled by his aides. He believes the lies he sees on Fox News.
And if news executives aren’t willing to be blunt in their institutional voice, they should at least include informed speculation about why he says and does things that are so irrational and disconnected from reality.
They can attribute it to experts or critics if they must, but they should fully describe the critique that provides the essential context for virtually every news article coming out of Washington these days.
Something like: “Critics say Trump is deranged and unfit, that his aides are venal, that his cabinet is inept, and that his supporters are cultists. They say nothing he says can be trusted and that he should be removed from office.”
