I recall the story of the brown cow that ran down a hill at the end of which was a barb wire fence. The cow intended to jump over the fence. He did not quite make it. Left his testicles hanging on the fence.
Reminds me of the failure of the Iran War talks. I superimpose in my mind Trump in place of the cow. He really has got himself hung up. A war that he should never have started. A war with all kinds of negative effects for the U.S. and world at large.
I ask: What now, Donald?
China acted brilliantly for China. China worked the Iran War effectively. China and Iran weaponized the global economy to beat the U.S. at its own game. Trump not the mental genius he thought he was.
Gasoline prices a potent Democratic tool. Think…..Trump gave it to the Democrats!
Trump has a foul mouth. Uses “fuck” often. Democrats have begun using it. Minimally. No where as often as Trump.
Democrats should cease and desist. They should not become similar to Trump in this regard. Not the American way. I want to see the U.S. return to the way it was before Donald.
Hungarian elections today. Orban has been President for 16 years. Trump and Vance support him. Orban running second in race projections.
Moving on to other matters.
The patent for the first portable typewriter was issued in the U.S. this day in 1892. I used a portable typewriter while in college in the mid 1950s. We were not into computers yet on a volume basis.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt died this day in1945. An outstanding American President left us.
Joe Louis was a boxing great. He died this day in 1981.
Louis was Heavyweight Champion before World War II. Ceased professional boxing during the War while he served in the military. After the war, he returned to a brilliant career.
In the years immediately following the War, we listened to Louis’s fights on radio. Not at home. We would go downtown in Utica to the Stanley Theater which had huge waiting room area. And a radio! Packed we would listen to the fights. No TV yet.
The world’s deadliest “animal” is the mosquito. Kills about 760,000 humans a year. Mostly via malaria.
McIlroy had a bad 3rd round in the Masters yesterday. Shot one over par 73. Now tied for first place going into today’s final round.
The oldest photo of a U.S. President is that of John Quincy Adams taken in 1843. The photo was sold in a 2017 auction for $360,500.
The Vikings actually beat Christopher Columbus to North America in the year 1,000.
Ants have three “castes:” Queens, workers, and males.
Enough.
