Trump Fires Bondi

(Headline USA) President Donald Trump said Thursday that Pam Bondi is out as his attorney general.The announcement follows months of scrutiny over the Justice Department’s handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking investigation that made Bondi the target of angry conservatives even with her close relationship with Trump. She also struggled to satisfy Trump’s demands to prosecute his political rivals, with multiple investigations rejected by judges or grand juries.

Interesting Things!
Here’s a few interesting things, starting with beavers…

Beavers have been reintroduced to Scotland. Beavers had been extinct in Britain for about 400 years. The species was hunted to extinction there. In 2009 11 beavers were introduced to a ‘dead’ river in Scotland. And they flourished and so did the river, the plants and animals which live in and along it, and more. Yes! Beavers have been, and are, being reintroduced to other places in Britain as well, which is a good thing, I think.

The talking heads on the MSM evening news propaganda programs are describing the new Covid strain spreading across the nation as the "Cicada Covid" variant because it first mutated "way back in 2024".
Like that was a long time ago. It was barely a year and a half ago.

Into the Valley of Death...

Today's title is courtesy of Tennyson's poem "Charge of the Light Brigade" which describes another group of soldiers sent on a senseless suicide mission that accomplished nothing. The mission to open the Strait of Hormuz is reminiscent of the 1915 Battle of Gallipoli which had tragic results as Doug Macgregor relays in his conversation with Danny Davis below. Our politicians, much like Sam Cooke, don't know much about history or geography. This war of choice isn't working out well, and looks as if it might cause a global depression. Trump's ego won't let him admit defeat and withdraw from the Middle East, besides his Zionist owners won't allow him to do so. So on we go sowing more senseless death and destruction in our effort to maintain global hegemony.

So, let's take it from the top:

Afternoon folks!

It's blues by the bucketload this week... Starting off we've got a fantastic live performance from B.B. King from 1964 when he was pretty much at the height of his playing. After that we've got a compilation of alternates and unreleased songs from Larry Williams, one of the great New Orleans r&b piano player/singers followed by some raucous live slide guitar blues from Hound Dog Taylor. Following all that is some blues rock Texas style from Toni Price and then an album from Kingfish, a band that features the Grateful Dead's Bob Weir. We finish up in the diversity department with a sampler from John Prine's record label that features a few songs from him followed by some other interesting artists.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
