Since the Idiocy War began on February 28, it has been an article of faith among the majority of anti-Trump voices that Netanyahu and zionist billionaires were bossing Trump into making war on Iran. I have no opinion on the question of whether Trump is cognizant of who is pulling his strings. Trump is responsible for this war because he proudly claims it. But he IS nutso, and his subjective opinion is not worth much no matter how you slice it.

Morning

Going to start the day with an article on setting and storing food back for future use. It is a life long habit. Even in the best of times I try and have all the food necessary for the livestock in the barn by September for the upcoming winter.

Archaeology and History Tidbits
These are some interesting things! For example, the bones of D’Artagnan, one of the heroes featured in the book The Three Musketeers, may have been found. This is cool!

Although the book is a novel (more about the book and it’s writer(s) here) , D’Artagnan was a real person, and he died via a musket shot to the throat while conquering Masstricht during the Franco-Dutch War. It’s believed that he was buried in Masstricht in a church near the French camp. And, lo and behold, an archaeological dig (after a hole appeared under tiles in the church) has found his possible remains, underneath where the altar table used to sit. DNA testing and other work will confirm the find, eventually.

The current debacle in world affairs and US hegemonic ambitions crashes upon the putative leadership in the west.

The common observation bandied about by the "experts" is that there is no apparent strategy or method discernable in US policy abroad, particularly as demonstrated in the middle east currently. The US appears embarrassed by an obsolete worldview. It's policies seemed to be based on delusions rather than reality.

I saw on Tv a squib of Bernie Sanders talking about the 25th Amendment, sounding like the 2015-16 Bernie. The MSN home page offers a nonstop parade of squibs raising Cain about Trump and Israel and their downright EVIL effort to eliminate Iran from planet earth.
