It should be clear to everyone the Western Regime is bent on global war.
The blatant goading of Russia to over-react to attacks in deep Russian territory just keep coming. It should be a "burning cross" indication of how badly the western oligarchs need to plunder and pillage Russian resources to save the west from financial collapse.

Crazy is as Crazy does

I've not kept up well with the news cycle over the last couple of weeks, however the items that caught my interest this week, was first, Trump calling Putin crazy...that seems like the pot calling the kettle black to me. And secondly, the possible Hamas Israeli deal for hostages for a 60 day cease fire. Let's look at both of these stories below the fold.
Album of the Week 5-31-25
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 05/31/2025 - 3:00pmAfternoon folks!
Small haul this week, I've been busy with some projects around the house and haven't uploaded much this week. So there's an album with excellent harmonica player Lester Butler backed by a band that isn't the Red Devils. After that and finishing up in the diversity department is an album of jug bandish tunes penned by Norman Greenbaum, the fellow who would later go on to have a really big hit with "Spirit In The Sky." Anyway, it's a fun album worth a listen if you like that sort of thing.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Good morning, good people!
I have bitched and moaned about AI being encouraged by the Texas State Bar. Well, I read the 2 articles about it in a recent Bar Journal about the ups and downs. Saves time, looks professional, but hire staff to verify every single word, then verify their work, and you are responsible for malpractice if they didn't catch a mistake and you didn't, either.

Does it feel like time is moving faster? Things happen so quickly that hardly a second goes by and we're off to a new development, a new revelation, a new outrage. There's hardly time to catch our breath and there's a new squirrel to chase up a tree. We're inundated with problem after problem and very few solutions.
There's an old theory in the science of physics that states the faster one goes the more time slows down. For instance, if one could travel in space at the speed of light time would decelerate. One could leave earth and travel many light years away and upon return will have aged very little while everyone that one knew back on earth would have been long dead.
The revelations are coming so fast they're leaving us behind. Is that it?
Or are we just getting old and running out of time?
