Highs 71. Low 62. Rain on and off throughout the weekend. Feels more like early Spring than April.

Neither will be content until their Capitol city is dust. They can’t see any benefit to living in peace or building a constructive society based on peaceful cooperation.

Flying right now does not appeal to me at all. With a husband retiring in a few months I don’t want to be on a plane. It’s crazy out there.

Indonesia is under a Tsunami alert as a collapse potential of Mt Ruang is high.

Quite warm tomorrow with temps hitting 88 and a 50% of thunderstorms in the evening. With that heating, some storms could be severe.

Totally. Oh, resuced a nice non- poisonous snake today. Three guys working in my yard were freaked out. I got there in time to save him. Nice little 30” snake. Perfectly docile. I gathered him up and released him somewhere safer. Poor guy was just looking for bugs.

Can you imagine a mass of it introduced into a major drinking water system? It’s scary. Then there’s this I found. 'The real danger to the country, the real danger to democracy is the progressive agenda' '#Trump may be playing Russian roulette, but continuation of the Biden administration is national suicide' https://www.wnd.com/2024/04/national-suicide-ex-ag-bill-barr-sounds-alarm-biden-re-election/ Not particularly reassuring.

It’s an important element in all western nations. Many that don’t use fencing have border guards with ARs. Try slipping into “fence less” Switzerland. You’ll be staring down the barrel of a rifle. I’ve seen it. Same in many other nations. It helped a great deal in the US. In the end people on the border and policy are the answer. We need to control entry and with the fentanyl problem out of control life here will only get worse. Just ask the families of those killed by illegals or fentanyl. It’s a mess and it needs to be addressed.

Oh the irony.

I caught part of an interview with Gavin Newsom. “California Slick” himself. Honestly, Oh Gawd! That smile is as big and all encompassing as any catfish in the Lake Texoma! Just stick a hook in it already!!! Way too slick, too forced, too practiced. He’s right out of a Stanley Kubrick film, had he made a futuristic political farce. Honestly, Gav missed his calling as a Carnival Barker! “Dood” gives me the creeps Meanwhile, Mamuka and Aleko get it on !!! Now that’s political commitment! https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/georgian-politician-punches-opponent-in-face-in-brawl-over-foreign-agent-law/ar-BB1lFmoW

There is a huge alliance between Iran, China, and Russia. No news there. If we spoke in terms of WW2 I'd say they are the new Axis power. They're going to share, weapons, resources, and somewhat friendly relations largely because they hate the West so much. True, Russia can't afford to be very generous, but political support says a lot in this environment. China is no doubt the big money in that bunch and it makes me all the more suspicious as to why we have so many Chinese men entering the US over the Southern border. The big question is how did they manage to leave China? Do you have any idea how hard it is to leave as a citizen? Where'd the money and permission come from?

Ran across this tidbit… With the $165 Billion we gave to Ukraine, we could have built six border walls to stop illegal immigrants from pouring across our southern border….. Imagine a secure country that knows who is entering their nation. Thats all we want. Weed out the criminals, drug dealers and terrorists. It’s not rocket science.

This is a clear eyed view of the our potential future. https://www.yahoo.com/news/enemies-west-preparing-tactical-nuke-135511462.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kcnVkZ2VyZXBvcnQuY29tLw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAMeY9lXUK8XxgM3swAhEdPBSG6WHv8VDpp3ZXNVBpl76T4Qi5SP7ny1snqmhJuk6id0nP_ujQBtvU0Yc22m4VqAdu157f_a0MvsrPkJAiZzItACSxcl5zojMU8i8XvMD16quZwnaLqJhrgXBoKsNitiSAeSvnUAqKAhhRGe95bv- It’ll be interesting for certain but reminds me a bit of watching an auto collision in slo-mo. People have forgotten how to play nice in their own back yards.
