After a couple of better nights’ sleep (not great, but better) and 11 holes of golf for a couple of days straight (walking and carrying clubs), life is better. A little exercise really helps.

LOTS and lots of shitty stuff happening around Donny Convict and his minions.

• The Iranian war that was “over on day one” is escalating. We’re sending in troops. Brilliant.
• US air travel is all fucked up, and we’ve got ICE goons at the airports.
• The DoJ is paying treasonous Michael Flynn $1.25M to settle his suit. He commits treason multiple times, and taxpayers have to pay him seven figures. Maddening.
• Inflation is going up quickly, now above 4%.
• Someone close to the White House is making billions with stock and oil trades 15 minutes before Convict Donny’s pronouncements about the Iran War. Insider trading that everyone can see. Corrupt and treasonous, right no brand for MAGA.
• The Pentagon (?) is working hard to remove protections for endangered whales in the Gulf of America Mexico.
• We just paid a French company $1B to NOT build renewable energy in the US. Because fuckwit Trump doesn’t like wind power. What a waste.
• The public has been successfully distracted from Trump’s central role in the Epstein files. But they’re still out there, waiting for a day of reckoning.

Not a lot to be happy about. As usual in politics lately.
