The war is heating up fast in the Middle East. And the fog is starting to lift so that we can see what's going on more clearly.
Israel just may have bit off more than it can chew. Frantic calls for rescue from Israel to the US have so far gone unheeded.
Fox News and the rest of the wingnut noise machine call it a scandal and "demand" to investigate who was really running the country while Joe was dozing off and walking into walls. As always, they are full of shit.
Now that Trump finds himself in a position in which nobody on the other side of the table gives much of a shit what President Blowhard has to say, it should be obvious to anyone who is not in the Red or Blue Cult that Trump is not any more in charge than Joe was.

Perhaps we've always been in a post truth era, but what brought the idea to mind is the spin on Israel's Iran attack as a "pre-emptive strike". The real headline should be, "Israel Starts Another Illegal War", but the Zionist control our media and our politicians. Meanwhile we have protests/riots around the country. Does this remind anyone else of the BLM events? At the same time Ukraine is on its last leg militarily with almost no reporting on the coming disaster there.
Afternoon folks!
There's a small, bluesy kinda haul for you this weekend. Starting out we've got a 60's album from Luther Allison followed by an album by Bacon Fat, an aggregation that included two great harmonica players, a young Rod Piazza and Harmonica George Smith. After that, I posted an album from a week ago from Howlin' Wolf, but this week if you check the playlist on youtube, you'll find 20 more tunes appended to the list. Finishing up there's David Bromberg with what I think is his most mellow album, but still well worth a listen for the great playing.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
Man, what a week!
I expect lots of news today about the conflict between Israel and Iran. And since the internet has been cut off in Gaza, it will be harder to watch the genocide in real time. Israel was a little slow on that tactic, but they get 'er done. Genocide Blackout. Absolutely, Bibi! Btw, Bibi, enjoying Greece? Just asking for a friend.
It is getting very difficult to weed out propaganda reporting on the ME. By the time I read that Iran was attacked and weakened, Iran had already set Tel Aviv on fire with missiles. I am hoping all of you will share info of developments throughout the day.
I hope we can all keep each other informed today about the No Kings protests. I believe there will be paid agents provocateurs in the crowds. We hear about "Tear it All Down!", but I always thought that meant the death grip the government has on us, not every small business in town. We shall see.
Happy Friday everyone. Welcome to Friday Night Photos your once a week escape from the day to day insanity of the world we live in. Post any photos, memes, music or whatever else you find of interest that helps tune out the madness.
Come along with me on a walk through Mission Trails regional Park. These are a mix of photos from a visit last month with the bird watching group and another visit this month with the camera club.
Here's a link for info on the park.

Happy Friday the 13th! Don't you feel lucky?
It's an appropriate date as the world of man reshapes itself. Two hot spots have exploded with a third one on the back burner. If that one touches off then we'll have us a trifecta.
Bibi needs his wars to keep himself from prison as his many scandals are catching up to him. Zelensky needs his forever war to keep himself sucking air and walking above ground. The deep state needs both wars to preserve its position as a global hegemon. Funny how that works, Europe and Israel as proxies, and China as a wild card.
Oh, and lest I forget, tomorrow is Donald Trump's birthday. What a birthday he will have! There'll be fireworks around the world. The US is set to potentially explode with protests and demonstrations sure to turn violent in more than one city with Posse Comitatus by the wayside and US troops on the streets.
Ukraine is on fire and the Mideast holds its breath in anticipation of Iran's next move. The big question is what will China do? Will Taiwan touch off or will Xi sit back and watch the world powers consume themselves?
It sure does seem like, to this old boy anyway, that the chess pieces are in place in this grand game of greed and power. With roughly eight billion worthless eaters as pawns.
