When Bush stood on the pile after 9/11, I had a sense of confidence.

Whenever Biden speaks, I feel like moving to Canada!

From Zelenski to the world:

"You lost ancestors in the Holocaust. Every year on Holocaust Remembrance Day, politicians put out statements that say, never again, never again. Those statements must seem really hollow right now to you. When the world says never again, do they ever mean it?"

Noticed some folks selling Ukraine Lobster Buoys as of late and thought, "Hmmm, don't I have one in inventory from last year that I've yet to hang up?"

Well I did...

[HEADING=2]The nuclear missile next door[/HEADING]

WINIFRED, Montana - Ed Butcher, 78, tied up his horse, kicked mud off his cowboy boots and walked into his house for dinner. He'd been working on the ranch for most of the day, miles away from cellphone range. "What did I miss?" he asked his wife, Pam, as he turned their TV to cable news. "What part of the world is falling apart today?"

"Russia's aggression has gone from scary to terrifying," the TV commentator said, as Pam took their dinner out of the oven.

We're talking about a war that involves a very unstable nuclear power," the commentator said, as they bent their heads over the venison casserole to say a prayer.

"This could escalate," the commentator said. "It could explode beyond our wildest imaginations."

"I bet it would fly right over our living room," Ed said. "I wonder if we'd even see it."

"We'd hear it. We'd feel it," Pam said. "The whole house would be shaking."

"And if we're shooting off missiles, you can bet some are headed back toward us," Ed said.

Over the years, they'd reckoned with every conceivable threat to their land. Drought killed the nutrients in the soil. Hail destroyed the crops. Wolves and mountain lions attacked the cattle. Eagles dive-bombed the sheep. Animal skulls littered the same prairie where dozens of newborn calves arrived each spring. The Butchers' eldest son had died suddenly on the ranch of an asthma attack. Their great-grandson had just been delivered in the bunkhouse, the sixth generation to be born onto the property. One of the things Ed appreciated about ranch life was that it brought him closer to the natural cycles of life and death, which only made the idea of man-made, mass nuclear destruction more unimaginable.

"I guess we'd head for the storage room," Ed said.

"Make a few goodbye calls," Pam said. "Hold hands. Pray."

Ed got up to clear his plate. "Good thing it's all hypothetical. It's really only there for deterrence. It'll never actually explode."

"You're right," Pam said. "It won't happen. Almost definitely not."

Yep. This is where we’re at and where we will continue to be for the immediate future. I don’t waste time thinking about hypotheticals or things outside of my control. Not worth the effort.

Not trying to get political but this all happened in the last 12 months. Inflation, gas prices, food prices, Russia, etc etc etc

It was predicted. Like the sun rises in the east and set in the west. Closer to fact than prediction! :)
