With silence falling
Alone face unresolved fears
Nation family self

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Louise Edington and I look at some of the people at the center of the conflict spreading in the Middle East (and also Senator Sheldon Whitehouse), and put the players in a much larger context of history and astrological cycles coming together.

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

Since the Dow is under 50,000, can we talk about the Epstein files again?

Withering Winter, Rensaku Where did February go? I have one last PT class on Friday. I’ve spent some time developing an exercise/walking program to keep the sciatica pain at bay. It’s still there, but I can cope…

I was introduced to this interesting poetry form by Lindsey Martin-Bowen who explained this concept as being a poem wherein the poet focuses upon creating an image with the poem. In other words, the poem is about a specific object and describes that object.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth: "If there was ever a time for Republicans to find their spines, it's now, when the Commander in Chief readily admits that he is choosing to put our troops' lives at risk without a legitimate imminent threat to our homeland or our citizens."

This is a chiffchaff. While small numbers overwinter here in the UK, hearing their song ‘chiff chaff chiff chaff’ for me really signals the start of Spring, I know I’ll be hearing one any day 🥰

PRESIDENT EPSTEIN BIGLY WORRIED OVER FALLING POLL NUMBERS SO HE STARTS ILLEGAL WAR WITH IRAN! HE WILL LOSE MIDTERMS AND GET IMPEACHED AND ARRESTED!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!

Bombing Iran and starting a war to distract from the released Epstein files. Just imagine the content of that which the DOJ is illegally withholding from the public and has not been released. What kind of distraction does that necessitate?

Beyond frightening.
