The current attorney general of the USA is under fire for harping on stock market prices rather than answer the Democratic Congress-folk's questions about some other Blue-ish issue.

A War of Choice
for the Epstein Class

I expect the war begins next weekend after the "State of the Union Address" this Tuesday. I'm reminded of the start of the irrational Iraq war. Here we go again, only this time I suspect we might have our ass handed to us...meaning we don't know what we're in for. China and Russia are working with Iran, and though I'm sure we will pull some unforeseen shenanigans, I think there's some new arms technology that will be deployed which will catch the US and Israel off guard. At least that is what Alastair suggests in a couple of the clips below the fold. As to the question of why conduct another unnecessary war? To my mind it is to appease the Epstein class (banksters), which Robert Barnes discusses in a couple of today's clips.

Afternoon folks!

Well here's another batch of blues for you guys. Starting off we've got a compilation album of some of Chicago blues guitarist Buddy Guy's Chess recordings, great stuff, followed by a live recording of Buddy and his frequent partner, harmonica player Junior Wells - the album is about bootleg quality but worth a listen if Chicago blues is one of your things. Following those albums is one from Texas soul-blues singer Robert Ealey and then it's on to early Excello swamp-pop label recordings from harmonica player Jerry McCain. Some of the Jerry McCain videos may be missing because some awful German record company has decided that it would like to deny Americans their musical heritage of 60 year old recordings. After that there's a modern zydeco album from Nathan & The Zydeco Cha Chas. Finishing us off is a live album from the Grateful Dead's guitarist Bob Weir and one of his side projects, Kingfish.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the tunes!

Good morning, good people!

Lots of experiences in court this week exemplifying the chances to the Family Code and Penal Code, which pushes for co-parenting when the parents are no longer in the same household. Two different counties, two different judges, showing deference to the Code despite evidence. One guy admitted under oath that he was a lifetime registered sex offender who continuously raped his little brother, served 8 years in prison, nonetheless was given visitation with his kids, while under investigation for having sexually assaulted his 13 yr old daughter. He complained that his wife did drugs for 12 years, but admitted he supplied her. Father of the year!

Then, the schizophrenic/ bipolar Mom with a history of suicide ideation, violence, arrests, institutionalization, currently on felony probation for attacking her 80 yr old step-dad, got weekend visitation with her 5 yr old daughter without supervision. She actually testified that what keeps her from murder/suicide is contact with her daughter to do her hair, nails, and go play at the park.

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 ever increasing madness.

It's been 4 days of cool temps, gusting winds, and a lot of rain this week. But the storm has passed and sunny skies and warm temps are in the forecast for this weekend and the rest of next week.

As promised in last weeks edition of FNP, here are some of the sea and shore birds I saw while I was at La Jolla Cove 2 weeks ago.

Jonathan Cook has a piece in Scheerpost: "Rubio Declared a Return to Brutal Western Colonialism – and Europe applauded." Here's the key sentence:

Morning - a collection of international news not in the boldest of headlines.
