The rhetoric is off the charts. Not just from Trump, but from all his lieutenants, the fake news outlets, foreign leaders, and pundits the world over.
Who to listen to?

European Meltdown and Rapid Fire Actions
The Trump administration is busy. It's difficult to keep up with the divergent paths of action from them. This week we had the good news that both Tulsi and RFK were confirmed. I enjoyed both Hegseth's and Vance's speeches in Munich, and the resulting globalists' outrage. Trump spoke extensively with Putin and they plan to meet in Saudi Arabia as Russia continues to gain ground in Ukraine. To my mind, the drone strike at Chernobyl was probably a false flag by Ukraine. The D.O.G.E. movement seems to be gaining speed and the support of the majority, despite the Demwit's fight against it. This week NED funding was suspended. The wall is being built again and many deportations are happening. The Gaza ceasefire remains tenuous with hostage exchanges still occurring. Plus we had Taibbi and Shellenburger testifying again in congress this week. Is your head spinning yet? All this and more below the fold...

Album of the Week 2-15-25
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 02/15/2025 - 3:00pmAfternoon folks!
This week we kick off with a collection of Otis Spann mostly solo pieces, followed by a compilation with a bunch of B.B. King and Bobby Blue Band along with some other classic blues tunes. After that, we're off to blues rock territory with The Band's second album followed by an album from Fleetwood Mac's first bass player Bob Brunning and his band along with some appearances by Peter Green. Following that is an album from slide guitar monster, Bob Brozman and we finish up with some California country rock by Poco to mellow you out.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Saturday Open Thread 2/15/25: Odds and Ends
Submitted by on the cusp on Sat, 02/15/2025 - 7:00amGood morning, good people! I hope anyone that's into celebrating Valentine's Day had a good one yesterday.
My secretary and I were treated to beautiful roses and ribbons. Thanks, Dear One, and she and I forgive you for your trespasses and give you a year's credit. The bouquets will beautify our desks for a while.

Friday Night Photos Ichthyology Edition
Submitted by Socialprogressive on Fri, 02/14/2025 - 5:00pmWelcome to Friday Night Photos everyone. Your once a week break from the daily madness of the crazy world we live in. Post any photos, memes, music, or whatever else you find of interest that helps you escape the madness.
On Tuesday the camera club had our monthly outing at Birch Aquarium. We didn't find out until we got there that half the aquarium was closed off due to construction. That was a bummer. On the bright side, February is half off admission to all museums in San Diego so we didn't have to pay full price to see only half the aquarium.
