More. 4. Iran will hit soft targets worldwide. 5. Farm costs will continue to rise, fuel inflation and drive poor nations into bankruptcy and instability. 6. The world will abandon Trump’s USA. 7. The USA will enter a recession. The rest of the world will follow. Fuck Trump and those who serve him.

Random thoughts from a curmudgeon. 1. The biggest TACO is coming soon. Trump will declare victory and quit Iran. 2. Iran gets a vote and they will not suddenly open the Straits of Hormuz or lessen attacks on Gulf States petroleum infrastructure.

Why are the lunatic christian’s following Bibi’s road to Hell? Walk, no, make that run away from the little dictator.

$200 billion for the Iran war? No, not a penny. They can drop Peter’s lobster, crab, and steaks on Tehran for all I care.

How much destruction are we going to let Bibi cause? Ruining the capitals of two nations is unacceptable. I support Israel but Bibi and his cabal must go - STAT.

He started this war with no idea what he was doing or how it would go. Gulf Arab states have been attacked; Asian allies economies stressed; Europe blind sided; and now he wants help to reopen the Straits of Hormuz. I hope the world tells him to piss off.

Dear shit for brains - when the price at the pump goes up EVERYTHING goes up. I don’t make money but my retirement savings go down. I hope you and all of your administration choke on a barrel of West Texas Crude.

Dear Mr. pResident - take off the effing ball cap. You remain a festering boil on the butt of society. With the utmost distain I remain affectionately yours; SFC Louis Mondello, Jr. US Army Retired.

Veterans are not a homogeneous group, opinions vary widely on many topics. With that in mind, I believe that (1) Iran is a pariah nation that causes undo harm in the world; and (2), this war did not need to happen without Congressional approval.

So today the story is that POTUS had a feeling Iran was going to attack. There was no intelligence suggesting it; just a feeling. FFS, Congress must stand up to this putz.

Let’s be clear; Iran is amongst the worst nations in the world. That does not give POTUS carte blanche to start a war. Release the Epstein files; lower costs; follow science; and, make the economy work for ALL of us. Thank you for your attention to this.

MAGA was right; I voted for Kamala Harris and here we are at war with Iran. Dang; they are good!

I wonder if FIFA is even slightly embarrassed about bestowing a Peace Prize on POTUS. Probably not; after all it's all about the money.

Every teen boy's wet dream Rep. Lauren Boebert thought it was okay to break an agreement and post a photo of SecState Clinton but it was NOT okay for her to testify in an open setting. Yeah, nothing to see here folks...

Well, having the Clinton's testify didn't work so let's bomb Iran... Iran is a leading contender for worst government in the world and its collapse would be a good thing for the world; but why now? Bondo and Krash - release the Epstein files and start the indictments.

When the US men's hockey team is introduced tonight not one Democrat present should applaud.

So, Sen. Rand Paul wants to end liability protections for vaccine manufacturers. Question for the Senator - how many deaths are linked to vaccines a year? In 2024 about 15,000 people were killed by guns yet he is silent of protections for gun manufacturers. He really is stupid.

The longest month of the year, even in El Paso, TX.

I’m almost 70; when does it start getting better?

Swell, closed El Paso airspace for 10 days. Leave my city alone you pedopunk.

Question for DHS/ICE leadership. How much de-escalation/less than lethal training are your goons given before being let loose on the public? I’m willing to bet the average is somewhere in the single digits of hours.

Where are the minority leaders? What are they afraid of? Will it take an act of violence against their families before they grow spines? I’m 69 years old; a 23 year military veteran, and I am done with the Democratic Party leaders. They ALL must go.

Minor rain event here in El Paso; but for those of you in the path of the upcoming winter storm please err on the side of caution. That means get your essentials - chips, dip, beer, soda, adult beverages, cold cuts, and bread ASAP. Seriously, I grew up in the snow belt do the right thing.

Never forget. It wasn't a peaceful tour; it was an insurrection. It resulted in injury and death to law enforcement officers and one traitor. All while himself sat and threw a hambuger in the White House.

So; I watch one football game a year. Go Army - Beat Navy.

Sorry Elon; all that money and Ketamine can't change the fact that you are a lousy father. It's true; your daughter Vivian hates you. You can either work on your relationship or you can live with it. Hissy fits won't change facts.

(6) So, Happy Thanksgiving Bluesky.

(5) Now we are old and do not have many near us so I help (cook, set-up, serve, clean-up) for a Friendsgiving meal for those who do not feel safe celebrating with their families because of who they love. Thanksgiving can be a womderful holiday if we remember it is about being thankful and sharing.

(4) My Mom picked up on this and sarted doing the same thing. When I left active duty I continued the tradition and it as not unusual for there to be 30 plus around the tables. All were welcome. The rule being the same - do not someone be alone; invite them.

(3) Later when I was staff I looked forward to doing the same. My wife and I also hosted soliers at our apartment for dinner later that evening. It was a lot of work but worth it. The only rule was if they knew of a soldier who would be alone they were required to bring them. No questions asked.

(2) Fast forward to my first Thanksgiving in the Army. I was a young (17) PV2 stationed in West Germany. Walking into the mess hall (no DFAC yet) and seeing the Command Staff in their dress uniforms serving us, the lower enlisted, struck a cord.

(1) Lot's of politics today (sigh). Thanksgiving has been my favorite holiday since I was a tween (I'm 8 days shy of 69 years old). The meal, the laughter, the card games, more food... It meant so much more than other holidays - including Christmas.

Today is brought to you by the letter "F" - frustration. Everywhere I turn life is throwing crap my way. Enough; it's time to support the vast majority of Americans and not the 0.001%. I. Am. Done. Hard stop.

@revsheseesfar.bsky.social Hello Rev. Valori. This is Patti M’s husband. Hope all is well with you and yours.

Never forget. Protesters pardoned; police ignored. It has always been about him; everyone else be damned.

Strange Halloween here. We average about 600 - 650 kids a year but this year we didn’t even get 200. Maybe because it’s Texas and Friday night is high school football. Regardless, toddlers to teens; candy for all.

I thought Japan was our ally; the Prime Minister couldn’t have pointed grandpa towards the koi pond???

What a great idea

It seems only fitting that the Texas Army Guard has the lard azz guys being sent home from deployment. All that barbecue and beer makes one a Fatty McFatface. Gov Wheels should have thought this out better. Fool.

Retired military air traffic controller here. Facility rated during PATCO strike under Reagan. ATC was broken then and no administration since has helped. Sec Trans blaming situation on Dems is BS. End the shut down and fund ATC upgrades and more controllers. Man up dude.

The Ryder Cup debacle will not die. The fans were out of control throwing hatred (and beer) at Team Europe family members. PGA America did nothing. They were complicit and need to be fired. Welcome to the new normal. We have become an idiocrocy.

June 2025 cruised Iceland and Norway followed by a week seeing Belgium by rail. I wore my Harris 2024 cap and was treated graciously everywhere I went. Europeans know they still have allies here. Meanwhile here in Texas it causes meltdowns. I earned the right with 23 years of military service.

Local El Paso realtor changed his sign to one praising Charlie Kirk. Guess that made my search for a realtor to sell our house easier. Thanks ERA on Resler.

Justice Barrett claims overturning Roe hurt a family vacation. Seems the stench of serving on the worst Court in history - beats out Taney Court - might be a larger concern but what do I know.

The comms during the Uvalde school shootings were with children using a students cell phone. Texas refuses to address the problems in opur schools but passess performative laws. Wheels and crew are clueless.

So far the reaction to Cadet Bonespur’s actions seem muted here in Belgium but I wonder how long before the animosity starts showing. Maybe it’s my Harris 2024 hat…

Not a peep from Cheeto Christ or SECDEF Boozer about the Marines who died in NM while on deployment. So much for supporting our Warfighters. 23-year veteran and I am disgusted by the lack of empathy, althought it doesn't surprise me one bit. May their families find peace.

Liberation Day +1 - the stock market sure reacted oddly to liberation. Can't wait to see how folks feel when their bank accounts are liberated of more money for darn near everything. So much winning; it's a beautiful thing.

So; are you feeling liberated today?
