Something is not right;
Trump blows his own cover
https://t.me/DDGeopolitics/181000
“155 aircraft, including four bombers, 64 fighters, 48 refueling tankers, 13 rescue aircraft, and more,” – Trump on the “Search and Rescue” in Iran.
Prediction markets tracking the likelihood that President Donald Trump could be removed from office under the 25th Amendment saw a steady climb this weekend, reflecting heightened public speculation as the Iran war intensifies and the president’s recent statements draw widespread scrutiny.
On Kalshi, one of the largest regulated prediction platforms, trading volume rose as users bet on whether Cabinet‑level action to declare the president unfit might occur.
The increase comes at a moment of global crisis, with the Iran war reshaping U.S. foreign policy and raising questions about decision‑making at the highest levels of government.
Why It Matters
The 25th Amendment is one of the most consequential constitutional mechanisms available, allowing the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet to declare a president unable to perform the duties of office.
Even small movements in prediction markets can influence political narratives, investor sentiment, and public perception of stability inside the executive branch.
While prediction markets do not forecast outcomes with certainty, they often reflect real‑time shifts in public expectations.

Here in NE Alabama the spring rebirth is well underway. I barely got my pruning done in time. We planted one batch of tomatoes last week, and I'm getting in a few more today before a much needed rain this evening. So, spring has sprung and we're off to the race to maintain the homestead. It's busy season, but we're in good shape for a change. However we are very dry, especially for this time of the year. We'll get to the news below the fold.
Afternoon folks!
It's time for another scoop of the blues. This week we start out with a great album from guitarist and harmonica player Slim Harpo followed by a reunion album of Chicago blues piano player Memphis Slim and guitarist Matt "Guitar" Murphy. After that it's the rockin' 50's blues of Jackie Brenston and then on to an album from Chicago blues guitarist Eddie Taylor, followed by an album of 40's piano blues from Cecil Gant. We finish up in the diversity department with an album from British folk rock group Oysterband.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
Good morning, good people!
This short video just may shock and dismay you! Or not.
Due to hospital trips, doctor's appointments, we haven't gone anywhere or done anything in almost a year. Blame this on cancer. But there has been a couple of weeks pause on all things medical crap, and we scored really good tickets to see Jorma Kaukonen and John Hurlbut at Main Street Crossing in Tomball, Texas, a nice venue only an hour and 15 minutes away! Jorma was lead guitarist for Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna. His current thing is acoustic blues, rock and folk. I am hoping to shop for merch!
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.
On April 1st we had a Super Moon. No fooling. So I went to Harbor Island on San Diego bay to catch the moon rising over the San Diego skyline. Most of the day was cloudy so I was worried they would obscure the view of the rising moon, but the photography gods were kind and most of the clouds moved on by moon rise. The first two shots were taken while waiting for the guest of honor to show up.

Morning,
Interesting times. Would not mind a few months of boredom.
