A duck could quack a better lie than when “President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the war with Iran could reach what he called “a really good conclusion” even before the November election, suggesting the conflict could end sooner than he previously expected” and this isn’t the first time he’s pushed this nonsense, while “Vice President Vance warned Wednesday that a U.S. withdrawal from the Middle East would trigger a “worldwide energy crisis” as Iran continues targeting commercial shipping.”

Quaaaack quack quack. Trump is spouting this crap for November votes, trying to keep economic confidence up in the face of the inflation bubble that keeps getting bigger. In fact the Fed FINALLY increased the Federal interest rate to slow inflation down, no doubt too little too late, while Vance tells the whopper that the US getting out of the Middle East fracas would cause a global energy crisis, when the truth is that the US caused it by being there and there’s no chance of it all ending until Western oil production is back in a commanding lead. The Nov. mid-term elections have nothing to do with it.

I explained all this in recent posts and no need to bore you with a re-run, I’m just having fun watching these con men do their spiels. While you’re listening to their blatant lies, keep in mind that Vance is the Numero Uno choice for the next US president. Would Diogenes laugh, or despair? What do you think?

In my post below, “Remembering With A Vengeance”, I stated that the US wasn’t going to help the Saudis against the Houthi attacks, and in this morning’s news I have confirmation of that:

“US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that the Houthis had phoned his administration asking the United States to keep out of the Yemen war. Vice President JD Vance said on Monday the United States was in direct contact with the group, without giving details.”

Re-reading this morning’s post, I thought it might be good to point out that my Great Uncle MacDonald lived to 102. Almost everyone else on both sides of the family made it to 95 or longer. If you’re waiting for me to expire, I suggest you don’t hold your breath. I’m in great health.

Shippo is a recent startup online alternative shipping application, an alternative to ebay, which I’ve started using and this morning they sent me an email asking me to complete a survey that they’d pay me $10 for completing.

So, fine, I clicked the Survey link and the first question was, what gender do I “mostly associate with”? Well, there’s only two of them and you either have one, or the other, not “mostly”, but what the hell, yes, MALE.  Next question: “Please enter your age”. I typed in 87. That’s my age, and up pops this message, “ERROR, the number must be 80 or less.”

Well, looks like that’s the end of the survey, no $10 for me unless I lie about my age and I haven’t done that since I was still too young to buy liquor. But I do have to thank them for a good laugh.

25 years ago today, the Saudis carried out their attack on the USA by flying passenger jets seized by Saudi terrorists into the two World Trade Center towers. At that same time, Pres. George Bush was hosting the Saudi Royal Family and their close friends, the bin Ladens, at his Texas ranch. Once the destruction of the Twin Towers was accomplished, he put them all on a chartered jet to Florida where they boarded another jet that took them home to Saudi Arabia.

Witnesses came forward at the time and testified to all this, it was in news stories in newspapers, on the radio and on TV and the Internet, and all of it has been thoroughly scrubbed out of existence now and anyone who mentions it is called an Extremist. But that’s what happened. What happened next is that Bush blamed Afghanistan for the attack and sent a small contingent of soldiers over there while he redirected all the attention to Saddam Hussein with the false claim that Saddam was making “Weapons of Mass Destruction”, launched his “Shock and Awe” campaign that killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and wrecked the country in an effort to seize the Iraqi oil fields, an effort that ultimately collapsed but not before it removed Iraq for a long while as a competitor of Saudi Arabia.

The perfidy and collusion between the Bush oil family and Saudi oil family is finally coming back to haunt, if not the treacherous Bush family, at least the Saudis. No one could deserve it more, really. Because the Good News today is that the Houthis have taken over the seaport city that commands the transit choke point, the Bab-El-Mandeb Strait and Iranian IRGC troops are flooding in to help hold the city and fortify it.

Already, the Saudis are finally forced into defending their own interests and are attacking the airport there to block the influx of Iranian troops and supplies, because they need that strait open if they’re going to sell their oil.

You can bet your sweet ass that the USA isn’t going to lift a finger to help the Saudis. Remember that all this time, Trump has insisted that his only purpose in the region is to prevent Iran from having nukes. His latest statement is that he “doesn’t regret” the Iran war, and Hell No he doesn’t, it’s The Plan. Now the Middle East nations must finally do battle with Iran. They can’t sit back and chuckle while Iran threatens Israel and kills Jews, because Shiite Muslim Iran is now afraid to hit Israel and is lashing out at the majority Sunni Muslims who now have to focus on defeating Iran because their national futures depend on it, and by the time it’s all over, the USA-Venezuela partnership will be supplying all the world’s oil cheaper than the M.E. can, the Chinese economy will be in a shambles and the plan between China and the Saudis to wreck the US Dollar will be ashes, and we will have a measure of revenge against the Saudis for the 9/11 attack.

My little ebay store is starting to do some business. One stellar sale was a few days ago, of an antique bronze sundial. I bought it for 8 pounds in London in the winter of 1987 and after all ebay’s fees, it gave me back $450. Not bad.

Mostly selling rock slabs, otherwise. Slices of agate and jasper, mostly, and mostly top quality. At somewhat depressed prices, it’s obvious that all the blah blah about our economy being so great, I can tell you, is a pack of lies, it’s not so hot. You can’t let in 30 or 40 million unemployed migrants willing to do anything for any money, and expect wages to be up and it’s those good wages that make a good economy.

But the truth is I don’t need the money anyway, I’m just an entrepreneurial type, and it helps keep me involved in my hobby and from being bored. I do wish I had a nice share of Elon’s money though, it would be so much more fun to live on a mega-yacht and go fishing in Bermuda. I’d hire one of those Jamaican steel drum bands to make music on the fantail in the evenings.

HEADLINE: “The death toll from flash floods along the Nepal-China border rose above 1,300 on Friday, while more than 5,600 others remained missing.”

When there’s too many people, they run out of room for safe places to build, and then this happens, over and over and over again. If Man doesn’t limit his numbers, Mother Nature will do it for him.

I would really feel sorry for these people if I didn’t already feel a lot worse for all the other animals that have lost their homes because we took them.

Absolutely perfect weather today. The blasting heat of summer in the desert is over for another year. July and August were plenty hot, but it’s cooled off early this year as the heat usually extends into September. Not this time, the long range weather outlook is more of the same like today.

I tell you, this Global Warming is a great thing, as our summers have been getting cooler on the average and the winters warmer. Life is good.

IN OTHER NEWS… The Chinese appear to be way ahead of Elon’s Optimus robots, they’ve been selling household helpers for a few months now. But try to buy one and you meet a wall, because the US won’t allow them to be imported “for security reasons”, which means Elon’s ‘bots have been given a government monopoly. Nothing chickenshit about that, right? Just because they’ll cost twice as much and aren’t even in production yet… This pisses me off because the first real use for them is for the aged and disabled, and if the Chinese have better, faster and cheaper, then why not?

The Mothers of Invention band sang it, “Minnisota, Minni Minni Sota, it can’t happen here, it can happen in Minnesota, but it can’t happen here”. It IS happening in England, where the Muslims, whom the government and the Muslims themselves calls them “Asians”, are getting steadily more aggressive at taking over the country. Here’s an article about a father with his children and their dog in a local park with some Muslim asshole telling them he’s in charge and it’s “Asian” territory now and they don’t like whites and dogs, so get out. To his credit, the Brit refuses to back down.

One more reason why I live out here in Bumscrew, in Godforsaken County, Calif. We have no MooSlimes here. Last Spring at the post office there was a Jewish rabbi in full ceremonial dress, no doubt was going to perform some sort of ceremony, and no one bothered him. There’s a little synagogue in town along with all the churches, no idea what varieties of faiths since I’m not religious and don’t care, but not one fucking mosque and if there was I’d join the crowd to burn it down. Or burn it down myself, whatever.

Because it can’t happen here.

Cardinal Pizzaballa decries Israelis’ ‘continuous aggression’ in West Bank

One Spicy Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, pissing on his host, Israel. The “Two State Solution” is internationally known to have only one purpose, which is to divide and destroy Israel, and that’s why the Muslims keep demanding it. This man represents all Catholicism and is boosting the death of the nation that hosts him, for the sake of the terrorist Muslims.
