I know the whole world is suddenly (F-word) but for some reason I enjoy the act of breathing so I am coping as best as I can and I know that everyone else is too.
I have this awful affliction that can flare up at any time and become deadly — but my so called recovery is progressing well at the time being —-the chances of a recurrence are estimated by the egg-spurts as 1 in 4 or 1 in 6 —- or 25% of the victims are liable to have a recurrence within a few weeks or months of finishing the original treatments for the dread demon ……. so there is the fear factor …..but I am trying to be stoic …. and in my efforts to be stoic I become the standard variety of hypocrite …..so here I am, taking one breath at a time, one day at a time, hoping for the best but knowing full well that my age is against me — so…..well then …. I guess that is my little vent for the pity party — so i will move on to something else now.
Joke: The cop pulls the driver over, lights flashing, siren blaring.
The cop approaches the driver of the vehicle he has just pulled over. The driver of the vehicle rolls down his window and greets the cop.
The cop says to the driver, “Do you know why I pulled you over?”
The driver answers, “Why, have you forgotten already?”
Instant ticket.
Another dumb answer the driver might have given to the policeman: “Why, officer, did you see the blood dripping out of my trunk?”
I had to get that in there to lift the spirit of this depressing damned blog post. I hope you all got a kick out of the joke.
There is this “Thing” going on in Congress where a lot of Republicans and Democrats are all pissed off because some boat got blasted by our military and the boat was destroyed and there were two survivors and the military came around for a second run at the target to attack again and kill the two survivors. This happened somewhere in the Caribbean or near Venezuela as far as I can tell from what I am reading.
The latest news that I have heard about this incident is that neither the Secretary of War nor the President of the United States claims responsibility for ordering that everybody be killed during the attack….and that is the story that I am hearing, that “Somebody” ordered the attacking aircraft to kill everybody connected to the destroyed boat. The words, “War Crime” have been vocalized in various places and apparently nobody knows if anyone gave such an order to kill everybody or not. I find the whole thing passively interesting and that is why I am putting it on the blog here.
More news that I heard: I heard that the administration is tightening the requirements for SNAP benefits again; restrictions that some claim will cause maybe 4 more million Americans to lose their snap benefits altogether.
I also heard that the administration has refused disaster relief to the state of Michigan for some event or the other and that it concerns the electric companies up there and as a result of that refusal the electric companies have already told their consumers are going to have to cover the lost government assistance money and everybody seems to me to be scared shitless that their electric bills are going to skyrocket egregiously. I also heard that somehow, artificial intelligence is responsible for the already rising electric costs….and that it is going to get worse before it gets better…but I am thinking to myself, “Is that part of the price of making America great again?”
Like I have said countless times on this blog, “Why even worry about all this dark and foreboding crap because there isn’t a damned thing that any peon like “Average Joe” is ever going to do about it except to run off at the mouth. I get a big laugh whenever I hear some dumb assed voter throw up their hands and say, “I never voted for this!” I have to remind them, “You sure as hell did vote for this…and you knew what things were going to be like before you even voted because it was all laid out plainly on the campaign trail….asshole!”
Well, with that, I guess I am going to get ready for bed.
See you all tomorrow if the Lord is willing and if the creek don’t rise.
IT'S ME AGAIN 
It is claimed that they have Hegseth on tape ordering a second run to kill the survivors. But until I hear it, I can’t confirm that. That old cop joke actually happened to one of my friends once, when he was being smart by asking the cop if he had forgotten why he stopped the car. He ended up haing all of his tyres inspcted, and received an endorsment on his licence for three faulty tyres, plus a £150 fine of £50 for each tyre. I was in the back of the car at the time, and that was in the early 1980s.
Best wishes, Pete.

Cute joke. Someone gave the order and it is a crime. Having poor people starve is making America great according to assholes. “If voting changed anything they would make it illegal”. Have a good Sunday evening. chuq
