  • Confusion

    Everyone in WOWTMSM agrees that war is bad but as previously mentioned in last weeks article, “bleep” blowing up is good.  It must be as they can’t stop showing it, even if the Talking Heads are wringing their hands and clutching their pearls, over the price of gas at the pump.  

    Then there is ‘Boots On The Ground.  Boots on the ground are bad.  No, boots on the ground are good, even necessary.  And for some of us, whenever we hear “boots on the ground” we get this image of just that, boots on the ground.  Some lined up nice and neat and others just strewn about, as if they were just dropped there.  But no one is wearing them.  There are no soldiers anywhere, just boots, boots on the ground, boots on the ground everywhere.  Maybe that’s not a bad thing.  Maybe some people in Iran , need some boots.  Maybe we could just drop some in.

    Then there is the “Forever War’.  Not another ‘Forever War’ puhleezzeee!  BTW what is a “Forever War’?  There was the 100 years war back in the 1300’s and 1400’s, between England and France and France and France  That might have seemed like forever but 100 years as long as it was, was not quite forever.  Not even close.  Besides, no one knew they were in the 100 years war.  It got that designation after the fact.  Just as some historians now see WWI and WWII as one war.  But there has never been a forever war, so we don’t think there will be one now.  On the other hand, if there is a forever war, we won’t know, as none of us will be around, when it ends.

    Then there is the DJT POTUS 45 & 47 announcing that we are engaging negotiations to end the War with Iran.  But then the IRGC and the Basij militia at first claimed there are no such talks.  Then the IRGC and the Basij guys announce they reject all the proposals made by DJT 45 & 47 POTUS and had a list of their own. So, somebody must have talked to somebody.

    It’s all a bit confusing, no?  Well not really.  Try to remember that a nation is made up of a lot more entities than it’s military and government figures.  There are businesses of all kinds, manufacturing of all kinds, institutions of all kinds like agriculture, transportation, health, religious and not just the Mullahs, cultural etcetera, etcetera, just like all societies.  So, it is quite possible that we are negotiating with responsible entities in Iran.  And not just with the IRGC and the boys from Basij.  So both conditions, can be true.

    And don’t listen to the Talking Heads too much.  They’re just reading from a teleprompter and they’re not even sure what’s on it half the time.  The other half of the time…  Well your guess is as good as ours.

    We hope we have removed some of the confusion.  But we are selves are quite confused, so don’t get your hopes up too high because we could be wrong.  If we are we will admit it, unlike The Talking Heads and The Cognoscenti Of The Known World who will simply run on to their next point of expertise, as quickly as they can.

  • Boom! Boom! Boom!

    Amid the smoke of this war, there seems to be a few images that get replayed over and over again.  The first one is a missile or a bomb hitting something in a circle.  That’s it right above and it looks like they got it.  The What Once Was The Main Stream Media, seems to be in love with this one.  Some of the WOWTMSM Talking Heads are rooting for the war and some are rooting against the war but they all agree that this image is something extraordinaire.  It speaks to them.  What does it say?  Damned if we know.

    Then they keep showing video of missile launch trucks being blown to smithereens.  What’s so special about those, we don’t know either.  Maybe it’s the montage aspect of it all.  There is a lot of these trucks, all going boom, boom, boom, one right after another.  Maye there is some music playing in the back of their heads like the end of the 1812 Overture, or the end of Bolero.  You can find those tunes on Youtube and see which fits.  We kind of think it’s Bolero.

    Trust us though none of The Talking Heads or The Cognoscenti Of The Known World know what is going on.  They just know a lot of stuff is going boom!  Maybe those images that they keep showing over and over again, are what is going on in their minds.

    And no matter how you may feel about this BOOM, please stand by and pray for our young men and woman out there.  Let them come home safely and in victory.  Let them get the win.

  • ‘That Which We Call A Rose’

    There has been some difficulty in the pronunciation of the first name of the new Ayatollah of Iran.  This is no small thing.  How would we all feel if people around the world consistently miss pronounced our President’s names like Barack or Dwight or Lyndon or Franklin Delano?  The problem seems to lie in the spelling of Mojtaba.  Is the J silent?  Is it pronounced J and how?  This isn’t English or Spanish.  

    We will need to write about him from time to time, so why don’t we just call him Mojito?  Mojito Khamenei.  Mojitos are fun.  Once we have a fun term everyone can use, we can avoid offending.  Something we try very hard to do, not offend, that is.  Oh yes Mojitos are a rum based drink that came from Cuba originally and they are quite tasty and depending on who makes them, can be quite potent.

    And yes there a other problems with Mojito Khamenei.  He might be in a coma.  He might have lost a leg.  He might need a lot of plastic surgery for his face.  But the biggest problem is, he might not be around too long.  Who will be next?

    And we hate to feel dumb.  But we don’t pretend to be experts, so well, we can be dumb.  But we don’t think anyone here, has ever heard of Kharg Island before.  Have you?  Seems that 90 percent of all of Iran’s oil goes through this heretofore never mentioned island but now on the lips of every expert, as it got bombed.  How come no one has mentioned it before?  We don’t mean Gamers who have been attacking this island for a few decades on their screens, but the Cognoscenti Of The Known World and the Talking Heads, especially the military experts among them.  Maybe dumb, is a thing that’s going around and we shouldn’t feel too bad about it.

    We get why the Secretary of War and our own Head of the Joint Chiefs wouldn’t mention it.  As why alert anyone to potential targets?

    And oh yeah how do you pronounce Kharg?  Sounds like “Car egg” maybe.  Maybe we should just call it Rose island.  That way we can link this article back to the title.

  • Some Items From Last Week

    The picture above that shows Prince Andrew on all fours proves once and for all, the old adage; all men are dogs.  Even if you are a Prince, a member of the Royal Family of Windsor and were once in line to be The King.

    The Ground Hog Punxsutawney Phil reared his head last Tuesday and we couldn’t help but have this sensation, like didn’t we see this all before?  We don’t mean like last year and every year or just a brief sense of deja vu but a rather prolonged one.  Like we had just seen it the day before and the day before that.  Anyone else have that?

    The NFL announced that ICE agents would not be conducting operations at this year’s Super Bowl.  Seeing as how the cheapest ticket you can get to sit in the nosebleed seats goes for $4,557.00, we don’t think any of the “huddled masses yearning to breath free” were going to be there in the first place.  We can predict that ICE agents will not conduct operations at the Met Gala this year which costs $60,000 to get in or quite a few other venues, that cost more to get into, than your mortgage payments.

    And clips of Melinda Gates the ex of Bill, shows her explaining that whatever went on between Bill and Jeffrey Epstein, is something you have to ask Bill about.  She said Jeffrey Epstein was a sleaze ball who made her skin crawl, the one and only time she met him.  She’s also seen smiling when she gets done with this explanation.  We’re guessing she’s happy, that Bill slipped her the anti-biotics, even if she didn’t know.

  • Who’d A’…

    2025 Mayoral Candidate Zohan Mandani was going to let everyone ride the buses in New York City for free!  Newly elected Mayor Zohan Mandani, says he can’t do it.  You have to pay.  Who’d a’ thunk it?

    Ex-Pizza man and Minnesota native Mark Anderson tried to escort Luigi Mangione the guy who shot the Insurance clerk in the back, out of the MDC in Brooklyn.  Anderson claimed he was an FBI Agent and he had court papers signed by a Judge and his weapons, we assume he meant stuff issued to a real FBI Agents, were in his bag.  But all he really had was a driver’s license and the bag only had a chunk of Gouda and a Pizza cutter.  He wound up in handcuffs and in front of a real Judge.  Anderson’s court appointed attorney said the ex-Pizza man should be released and taken to a hospital, as he’s mentally ill.  Who’d a thunk that one?

    And the FBI finally released all of the Jeffrey Epstein files and there was finally something in them.  Turns out Bill Gates, genius and billionaire founder of Microsoft asked Jeffrey if he could get him some anti-biotics for his wife.  Seems genius and Billionaire Bill got an STD from one of Jeffrey’s “Russian girls”.  And that reminded us of something Mickey Mantle explained to one of his younger teammates years ago.  One of the hardest things to do Mickey said, was not hit the curveball.  No, it was to somehow explain to your wife, why she has to take anti-biotics, for your head cold.  Maybe genius and Billionaire Bill, figured out how to explain that to his wife but the concept of the condom, escaped him.  Who’d a’ thunk that?

    Note to Billionaire Bill, if you use the condom, you won’t need the anti-biotics.

  • What’s The BFD?

    Alex Honnold just climbed the skyscraper Taipei 101, in Taipei City, Taiwan!  And he did it on Netflix live!  He did it without any ropes or any nets to catch him if he fell!  And he did it solo!  

    We wondered if he washed any windows while he was at it?

    Now window washers usually use a scaffold and there are usually two of them, as it gets the work done faster.  But a whole lot of people work at heights like that.  Like the Iron workers, pictured above.  That’s not AI.  Those were real guys.  That’s how all those skyscrapers like the Empire State Building got built, back in the day.  Which leaves us to ask about Alex Honnold…  What’s the BFD here?

    We think Alex should have taken a rag along with him and wiped a few windows while he was at it.

    And Michelle Obama complains that she is known as Barack Obama’s wife!  Which made us kind of wonder, wouldn’t a whole lot of women want to be Barack Obama’s wife?  He’s a good looking guy, suave, charming, not to mention rich and he was the POTUS!  So what’s the problem here?  What’s the BFD?

    And Paige Spiranac is back on Instagram!  That’s her pictured right above.  She’s been gone for about four months, with no pictures and not a word from her. But she’s back!  This may not seem like a lot to some of you but to us…  It’s a BFD!

  • We Have A Few Questions

    Way back, in 1959 to be exact, there was a movie, a screw ball comedy named ‘The Mouse That Roared’.  It starred Peter Sellers and it told the story of the Grand Duchy of Fenwick and it’s war with the United States.  Why would a little European Duchy declare war on the most powerful country in the world?  Well to lose.  The Grand Duchy of Fenwick was broke and they had seen how the United States had rebuilt the economy of Germany and Japan after WWII and thought well…  

    Of course this was a screw ball comedy, so through a bunch of funny events, the Grand Duchy of Fenwick winds up winning the war.  Funny right?  Well the nation of Denmark just sent reinforcements to Greenland.  Maybe we should surrender now.

    The New York Jets, the Kansas City Chiefs and a whole bunch of NFL teams are busy firing their Offensive and Defensive Coordinators.  These are teams that didn’t make the playoffs and lost a lot of games.  But we just have to ask, who are these guys?  Some of us are really old here and we can remember a time when teams didn’t have them or well if they did, they never got mentioned.  Who cared?  But now well you’ve got to have the right one of these.  We’re just wondering what happened to the players?  Don’t they have something to do with losing all those games?  Or at least the Head Coach.  Did he have something to do with it?

    And Hunter Biden’s baby’s Mama, Lunden Roberts is asking the Judge to jail him.  Why?  Well Hunter isn’t paying his agreed to child support of 5k a month.  Okay that’s not a lot but doesn’t she understand that no one is buying his paintings anymore!  They were going like new Iphones for awhile except they were going for tens of thousands and in one case a half a million dollars!  That’s one of Hunter’s paintings at the top of the page.  You can see the the angst, the yearning and the struggle in it.  It’s not easy being Hunter Biden.

    But it seems now that his paintings have fallen out of favor with the art buying crowd.  You might get one for fifty bucks or if you just asked nicely.  And isn’t Lunden aware that Hunter’s gig with Burisma went poof!  The war over there might have something to do with it.  Or it might have been the bad publicity with it.  But regardless of the why, where is he supposed to get the money?

  • The Legal Edition

    Kiefer Sutherland or Jack Bauer of 24 Hour fame just got arrested for punching out his Uber driver.  But isn’t that what he’s supposed to do?  We mean, punch out the bad guys.  Some of these Uber guys are really terrible.  They don’t know what streets to take. They have to use the GPS thing and they don’t know how to talk to people like old style cabbies did.  We expect the charges to be dropped.  Don’t you?  Why were they even brought?

    And who d a/ thunk’ this one?  Jerome Powell Chairman of the Federal Reserve is under criminal investigation as costs for the new Fed building went from 1.9 billion to 2.5 billion.  Poor Powell must be scratching his head and wondering what’s the big deal with 600 million dollars?  Compared to what everyone else has been stealing.  Hopefully for his case, he didn’t sign off on too many things.  And he can always play the Alzheimer’s card.  “Hunh?  Wha?  How did all these people get in my room?”

    And famed attorney Alan Jackson the guy who got Karen Read off has quit as Nick Reiner’s defense attorney.  And we have two schools of thought as to why.  One, is the kid has no money.  His parents had the money and well…  Or two, Alan Jackson has a conscience and realized the kid is nutso but not legally nutso.  So there’s no way to defend him and all the kid really needs is a Legal Aide who helps the kid say.  “Guilty.”  Twice.

  • To The Shores Of Tripoli

    On April 27th 1805, seven U.S. Marines and about 90 of Hamet Karmanli’s guys, led by Lieutenant Presley O’Bannon captured Derna in the then Regency of Tripoli, modern day Lybia.  It was the first time the U.S. flag was raised on foreign soil.  That’s where the line “to the shores of Tripoli” comes from in the Marie Corps Hymn.  Lieutenant O’Bannon and the U.S. Navy had been sent their by then President Thomas Jefferson to do battle with the Barbary Pirates in what is known as the First Barbary Pirates War.  

    Now this does not exactly equate to pulling Maduro out of his bed and flying him back to New York in a few hours.  We didn’t have helicopters back in 1805, or F-35’s, Aircraft Carriers and C-47’s, so it was quite a trip to Tripoli and back.  But it just goes to show that despite all the screaming from some in the Mass Hysteria, there isn’t anything entirely new with the Maduro intervention.

    And we could have used the word capture instead of intervention here.  Or we could have used operation or arrest.  But we went with intervention, as it sounds like those situations where a few friends get together to try and stop someone from doing drugs.  And the intervention of Maduro, will stop him from the selling drugs.  We don’t know if he uses but if he does, it will stop that too.

    What were the Barbary Pirates doing?  Well they were interfering with international trade, seizing ships, taking hostages and demanding bribes.  Things gangs do that screw up a lot of people’s lives and cost a lot of people, a lot of money.  Does any of this sound familiar?

  • Does Anybody Care?

    On Saturday morning we woke up to find out that Nicholas Maduro, Dictator of Venezuela had been captured along with his wife.  But the information didn’t come from the Mass Hysteria, not the alphabet networks or their websites, or any of the other news websites.  No, the information came directly from  DJT POTUS 45 & 47 via his social media platform Truth Social.  Then Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that Nicholas Maduro and his wife had been indicted in the Southern District of New York.  She announced this on X.  The Mass Hysteria was completely left out of the loop.  Did anyone but us notice this?  Does anybody care?

    And last week Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian announced that Iran was in a full scale war with the United States, Europe and Israel.  Did you notice?  Have you heard anything?  What will happen?  Where is the media on this?  Doesn’t anybody care?

    Do you think President Masoud Pezeshkian should have put this declaration of war on Tik Tok?  X?  Truth Social?  Do you think if he had, it would have been taken more seriously.
