UTUSN's JournalFirst, KRASNOV is grift above all, always with a new grift. Second, the Draft is Vietnam poison.
The biggest lesson from Vietnam for the warmongering class was: Never Draft, because the Draft stymied the whole enchilada.
* NOT casting asparagus on the protest movement of Vietnam, but it wasn't all about Peace and Anti-war. The Draft was a significant factor of resistence. And the resistence took various forms for the draftees - such as, all us Civilians not buying into military say-so. It meant that draftees didn't magically turn into good little militarists. Yip, in the latter years, things like fragging happened - not only resenting military orders but knocking off the authority figures - "By the end of the war, at least 450 officers were killed in fraggings; the U.S. military reported at least 600 U.S. soldiers killed in fragging incidents with another 1,400 dying under mysterious circumstances.[11][12]" - because the Civilian draftees didn't have their hearts into the whole demolishing of individuality and just blind following orders thing.
* So, for the CHEENEE-RUMSFELDs, lesson learned, they went for "all volunteer" model - that was their main lesson learned from Vietnam. Meaning multiple tours for the enlisted members, 3 or 4 or more years instead of the one year tours in Vietnam.
************ So will Deferments be for sale - uh, we're talking KRASNOV here! He sells (tries) everything - visas, citizen, pardons whatever. Actually, nothing new, richies paying Poors to take their place dates at least to the Civil War.
Was going to say, "O.K." until the weenie-measuring.
While Classical is my bedrock, I am ruled by *melody* above all, not by genre and lyrics - think Euro-pop. In most of my life I've not been an intentional, big consumer of music and in my last phase still don't seek it out, only let my ears run across what melodies we may in chance, background encounters of commercials, jukeboxes, or the like. I don't sit to watch/listen concerts, movies, t.v. I like a few dozen things in Pop, Easy, Rock, Country, all by MELODY.
Have always limited myself to my bubble euphemistically called "introspection" and shun most extroverted exercises such as busking and self inflated showing-off.
Jazz and rythmn-driven stuff are the least melodic things I can be forced to think about, now ranking with weenie-measuring.
I'll replace the "hate" word with pretending the un-melodic things don't exist at all.
Things EISENHOWER said: "What in the name of God is wrong with this country" - and
* "The country has lost its way"
* "Violence (is) consuming America"
* "Something fundamental has broken in America"
* "Shocked and dismayed"
* "snuffed out the life of a young American deeply concerned with his country's welfare"
* "When will we learn"
* "I thought after the war we would have peace - Korea, Vietnam, assassinations"
* congratulated NIXON, "had faith NIXON would restore order and dignity to the presidency"
El Mencho got buried in a golden casket. KRASNOV wants it - more than going to heaven!
So much that KRASNOV wants: "a large military presence ... a band playing ... Attorney General's Office declined to confirm the location ... image of a rooster in flowers ... 'Lord of the Roosters".
He always covets what others get - but the military will either refuse to attend or slouch like captives, and he'll probably try to take Arlington Cemetery and will be called the Taco lord of chickens.
Below is what banda genre sounds like, which he will despise like he does his MAGAts, but will settle for the Village People.

GUADALAJARA, Mexico (AP) � The leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel was buried Monday in a shiny golden casket with enormous flower wreaths and a large military presence in the state that gave name to one of Mexico's most powerful cartels. ....
...with a band playing Mexican regional music known as banda.
The official who discussed the location requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case. The Attorney General�s Office declined to confirm the location of El Mencho�s burial for �security reasons.�
There had been stepped up security since Sunday around a funeral home where large flower wreaths had been arriving without a name. Some did include the image of a rooster in flowers and Oseguera Cervantes was sometimes called the �Lord of the Roosters.� ....

Amazing musicianship:
Gonna gripe about some of my favorite podcasts. Always with the purple prose about KRASNOV "crashing"
Overall, these are the ones I like: Meidas Touch, Pakman, Secular Talk, Sisson, Legal AF/Popek, Luke Beasley, Majority Report/Seder, Cocchiarella, Keith Edwards, Adam Mockler.
The ones I look at most: Meidas, Beasley, Pakman, Edwards, Mockler. Less so, Seder, Popek, Sisson. Stopped Cocchiarella.
*** The gripe: Especially Meidas (my most go-to) is always running with the headlines about KRASNOV "crashing, coming apart, worst day ever, near death," etc. Meidas has tons of solid information, resulting in my tamping down attention to the purple prose. But the lead-up to the State of the Union was the worst: Granted that KRASNOV, in the days prior, was building up to meltdown stage, so it seemed credible that Meidas was predicting a complete clinical break coming.
My problem is, KRASNOV is the worst of the worst, but it's a known condition, can't be worse. So every time somebody says he's at a breaking point, there he comes to the camera and, despite being his obnoxious self, he talks almost in control. Big letdown.
Lucky the dog just delivered an unscheduled performance with a Gregorian chant
This vid was not planned to be featured, not the time of day when Lucky gets his playbacks. As noted, his howling is specific to videos of dog howling and Gregorian chants and other low-toned moaning-type things. So this popped up and he was in another room, and he suddenly joined in from afar and then he made his stately entrance over here howling all the way.
A joke from a random Comment section in a tabloid:

Singer/songwriter Charley CROCKETT lambasted KRASNOV, predictably caught MAGAts' crap
The only articles are pay walled. His Instagram post below is what incurred the MAGAt wrath, as truth does.

(His Instagram post)
They keep saying I’m a cosplay cowboy but they love a cosplay president. Some folks have been on here calling Muhammad Ali a draft dodger when yall got one in the White House. When I was at the Grammys the other night I saw a guy get up and talk about Jesus, and then I saw Bad Bunny get up there and talk like Jesus. The country music establishment should be taking notes on a Puerto Rican American who hasn’t forgotten his heritage and brought his culture’s traditional music back to the front, showing the world something new with it. The President is a grifter who bankrupted 6 casinos. That’s pretty extraordinary considering it’s a rigged business in favor of the house. The only thing he’s good at is filing lawsuits and portraying a successful business man as a reality TV actor. Last time I checked Elon Musk was an immigrant from South Africa but there he is standing in the White House buying our elections. Let’s deport his ass and send Peter Thiel back with him since they both openly believe in a post democratic society where men of their class are above the law. Forgive me if I have a problem with a 34 time convicted felon running this country when I lost the right to vote or own a weapon for years over marijuana. As long as you’re hating the oppressed and loving your oppressor you’ll never know why our generation is poorer than our parents and grandparents. As a great man once said it’s welfare for the rich and rugged individualism for the poor. If you can sleep at night licking their boots that’s between you and yours, but that type of thinking isn’t freedom. It’s mental slavery. Every single right we have as a people wasn’t handed to us. We had to fight and take it. Judge a man by how he treats the poor and those who he views as being able to do nothing for him. Don’t forget why Muhammad Ali said “I am America.” Remember the coal miners of Harlan County, Kentucky. I believe in what we can be. Ride on. 🐎

.... Political views
On February 8, 2026, Crockett took to Instagram, to criticize U.S. President Donald Trump, referring to him as a "grifter", and called for the deportation of Trump allies Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, going onto state "I truly believe this isn't a left or right issue. There's something else happening here."[70]

MAHER didn't see THIS coming (KRASNOV turning on him after their lovely dinner date)
One of MAHER's defaults (viz., young generation is stupid, ABC cancelled Politically Incorrect, need to make nice with opponents, weed good, etc. ) is how he was the first and only to predict this or that, especially about KRASNOV that KRASNOV would never leave, would not accept the election results. And he has, many times, taken note of how KRASNOV turns on his own sycophants, not to mention everybody else. So his Nostradamus-(RA)DAR must have glitched out not to see it coming for him from KRASNOV.
As for both of them being wrong - no to KRASNOV, MAHER is not in the class with KIMMEL and COLBERT, and no to MAHER, you *are* a liar.

"Fortunately, his Television Ratings are so low that nobody will learn about his various Fake News statements about me," the president wrote on Truth Social Saturday.
.... “Sometimes in life you waste time! T.V. Host Bill Maher asked to have dinner with me through one of his friends, also a friend of mine, and I agreed. He came into the famed Oval Office much different than I thought he would be,” Trump began in his new post. “He was extremely nervous, had ZERO confidence in himself and, to soothe his nerves, immediately, within seconds, asked for a ‘Vodka Tonic.’ He said to me, ‘I’ve never felt like this before, I’m actually scared.’ In one respect, it was somewhat endearing!” ....
He continued, “Anyway, we had a great dinner, it was quick, easy, and he seemed to be a nice guy and, for his first show after our dinner, he was very respectful about our meeting — But with everything I have done in bringing our Country back from ‘OBLIVION,’ why wouldn’t he be?” ....
(MAHER's April 11 version: ) “You can hate me for it, but I’m not a liar,” Maher added. “Trump was gracious and measured and why he isn’t that in other settings, I don’t know and I can’t answer, and it’s not my place to answer. I’m just telling you what I saw and I wasn’t high.” ....
At the end of Trump’s latest Truth Social post about Maher, he concluded, “Maher asked me if he could come back to the White House again and, with his friend, also asked to come to the wonderful White House Christmas Party, but he didn’t. Regardless, I’d much rather spend my time MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN than wasting it on him. Bill continues to suffer from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS!), and there is nothing that will ever be done to cure him of this very serious disease.”
