AverageOldGuy's JournalHere's a suggestion:
How about Trump sends a few thousand of those rough, tough, ready-to-rumble, highly-trained, heavily-armed, skilled in hand-to-hand combat ICE thugs to the Mideast? They will cut through the Iranian army like shit through a goose.
Am I right?
"You voted against a Marine!!"
Background: Down in SW Mississippi around my ancestral home are two old family graveyards. The current owners of the properties have established deeded protective easements around the cemeteries. Our family – cousins, extended cousins, etc. – financed a trust fund to provide in perpetuity for maintenance.
One distant cousin lives nearby, keeps an eye on things. He is retired Louisiana state police captain, a state NRA officer, and a MAGAt. Otherwise, he's a nice guy.
I live in Virginia where in November Democrat Abigal Spanberger and her ticket soundly trounced the Republican ticket, even flipping 11 seats in the House of Delegates.
And now -- Cousin Jerry called me Friday with an update on a cemetery matter. First words out of his mouth were: “I see Virginia elected a Communist!”
He could not understand how the Republican candidate lost by 15 points – because “She’s a Marine!!! You people voted against a Marine!!” The Rep gubernatorial candidate, Winsome Sears, is female, former Lt Gov, served four years in the Marines as an electrician, campaigned with a rifle slung over her shoulder – he could not understand how anyone could vote against a Marine.
He then proceeded to rant about all the “gun confiscation” legislation proposed in the current VA General Assembly – he spouted off ream after ream of NRA talking points.
Then we talked for a couple of minutes about the cemetery – then THANK GOD my doorbell rang, was the maintenance guy for the apartments coming to check out the dishwasher.
Cousin Jerry will call back next week about the cemetery matter. I can hardly wait.
". . . the five presidents here today . . . "
Speaking at Jesse Jackson's funeral service today, NBA star Isaiah Thomas spoke to the
"Israel pounds Hezbollah sites in Lebanon"
Use your favorite search engine and search for the phrase: "Israel pounds Hezbollah sites in Lebanon" -- or similar wording.
Dig around through the pages of results and check the dates.
Then ask yourself: If Israel has pounded Hezbollah sites in Lebanon in 19XX, 19XX, 19XX, 19XX, 19XX, 20XX, 20XX, 20XX, 20XX, 20XX, 20XX, . . . . . then WTF are they doing "pounding Hezbollah sites in Lebanon again?"
Just sayin' .
I'm just heartbroken for poor Kristi Noem and the way she was treated.
I mean -- she did it all -- did everything she could to make herself irresistible to Trump. Go back, find some old photos of her 6-7-8 years ago and compare them to today.
A little nip here, little tuck there, little tightening and lifting here and there.
Botox on the lips.
Change hair style.
$56,000 for a new Rolex.
Pushed her husband aside for Corey Lewandowski.
Then, after winning Trump's stamp of approval and after being named Secretary of Homeland Security, she proceeded to:
Institute a reign of terror that rained terror down on innocent people and innocent cities. (Pun intended.)
Flit around the country, travel to the world's most notorious, wicked, vile prison, and pose for pics everywhere.
Denounce innocent people murdered by ICE as being "domestic terrorists."
Cut training time for ICE agents to ensure all they learned was violence, slamming people to the ground, lying.
Hire huge numbers of thugs, losers, and trash, giving them a gun and telling them to clean out America.
Unleash her own domestic terrorists on American cities.
Take money intended for disaster relief for devastated communities and spend it on a couple of flying bordellos.
Yes, poor little Kristi Noem. She did everything exactly the way Trump wanted in a doomed effort to please him.
And to thank her, he fired her.
Now think about it: She has no future. He puts her in charge of a non-existent organization where she will make an ever greater fool of herself. Meanwhile, no doubt Trump has ordered his people to keep her completely away from him.
She never learned this truth:
EVERYTHING, EVERYONE THAT TRUMP TOUCHES DIES.
Yep, I'm just heartbroken for her. But you know, it's almost 1:00 AM, and by now I've had several long conversations with my friend, Dr. Jack Daniels . . . .
In the deep reaches of the night . . .
I returned home from Vietnam in early 1970 after a year in the bush. I had no flashbacks or bad dreams.
For a while.
Then, one night about a year later, my wife waked me up. It was past midnight, I was standing on the back deck of our house, facing the woods. Ghosts and voices were coming out of the woods. I didn't even know where I was, did not know when or how I got out of bed and went out on the back deck.
Same thing happened at odd times over the next few years. Gradually it stopped. But still 55 years later and at age 81, from time to time I sit up late, after the house -- now the apartment -- is quiet. And sometimes the ghosts appear.
The ghosts are 18, 19, 20 year old kids that I helped put into body bags. Hell, I was a 24-yr-old kid.
Watching Lawrence tonight. He opened with a segment that featured the father and sister of Army Specialist. Declan J. Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, Iowa. Coady was a student at Drake University in Des Moines. His father and sister spoke on Lawrence's show. I do not know how they had the strength to speak on camera.

Would be a real shame . . .

US launches operations in Ecuador?
Source: https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/03/us-military-launching-operations-in-ecuador
On March 3, Ecuadorian and U.S. military forces launched operations against Designated Terrorist Organizations in Ecuador. The operations are a powerful example of the commitment of partners in Latin America and the Caribbean to combat the scourge of narco-terrorism.
Together, we are taking decisive action to confront narco-terrorists who have long inflicted terror, violence, and corruption on citizens throughout the hemisphere.
“We commend the men and women of the Ecuadorian armed forces for their unwavering commitment to this fight, demonstrating courage and resolve through continued actions against narco-terrorists in their country.” - #SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan.

As of 11:48 PM EST March 3, I find nothing about this on any of the news media -- only mention is on the blog cited above.
You KNOW he is planning . . .
. . . a HUGE "Victory In Iran" celebration and parade for July 4. You know he is.
Complete with tanks and other armored vehicles all of which had NO PART IN THE WAR roaring down Constitution Ave, ripping up the asphalt, not giving DC the money to repair.
Complete with an unending flyover by every aircraft in the inventory.
Complete with the USAF Thunderbirds and USN Blue Angels (WITHOUT THOSE DEI FEMALE PILOTS) performing stunts all day long (shut down all commercial air traffic in/out of Washington National Airport).
Complete with the lead vehicle being a HUMVEE with .50-cal machine GUN mounted, with Secretary of War Hogsbreath standing beside the .50-cal, saluting the Commander In Chief (that is, if they can get Hogsbreath sober).
YOU KNOW THIS IS WHAT HE'S PLANNING.
I simply had to turn it off
Had MSNOW on the tv while puttering around, getting ready for errands -- grocery, library, pharmacy.
MSNOW came on with live feed from Oval Office where Trump is greeting a German official.
As expected, the questions were directed to Trump about the Iran War. And that was all he needed to launch into disconnected, rambling soliloquies that went nowhere.
When I got up to mute the sound the Oval Office decorations caught my eye.
I'm from SW Mississippi with deep family connections to Louisiana and the Cajun area between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. A distant relative was closely associated with several late 19th century New Orleans bordellos -- so much so that his mother-in-law after his wife's death -- came to NO, grabbed their children, and took them home with her to rural Mississippi.
We have a few old black and white photos from two of the fancy houses of which he was part owner.
Trump's Oval Office decorations are exact copies of the decor in an 1890's New Orleans whorehouse.
