Random Thoughts and Observations

Open Thread Image.jpg

We spent last week as agritourists at Will Harris' White Oak Pastures in the small town of Bluffton, GA. I'll write an essay about the visit next month, but since I featured our local farm, Windy Hill, last week, we'll give farming a break and briefly look at at the current state of geopolitics below the fold.

Pursuing the Peace Prize with
Tariffs, Sanctions, and War Crimes?

open thread.jpg

Maybe the Donald is playing 5D chess in his quest for the peace prize. He has certainly brought the non-western world together like never before as they unite in an effort to cope with US bullying. Their unity was on display this week at the SCO, the China celebration of the end of WWII, and the Eastern Economic Forum. Meanwhile in the west there was an impotent meeting of the so called coalition of the willing in France. The US illegally blew up a suspected drug boat in its effort to stir up a war with Venezuela, and the big pharma shills in congress attack RFK and his reforms.
