Headline:

New Jersey elementary school weighs renaming building after President Trump

[picture of the orange fascist shitbag making a thumbs-up gesture]

TRUMP ELEMENTARY?: A suburban New Jersey school district is considering renaming one of its elementary schools after President Donald Trump, a proposal that has sparked debate among board members and residents. The effort could coincide with the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in July.

Title: Abiogenesis

Three panels.

1. A barren landscape.

"In the beginning, there was only non-living matter."

2. The sun is shining down on the barren landscape.

"Over time, in the right conditions..."

3. A barren landscape

"...there arose life."

[on the ground, a tiny speck says, "Oh no."]

The first lesson of war is β€˜know your enemy’ – and Britain’s enemy now is Donald Trump | Simon Tisdall As the Iran disaster escalates, the US president should be seen as an enemy whose actions threaten the lawful, democratic way of life everywhere, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdal...

Blair sparks row with Starmer after claiming UK β€˜should have backed Trump’ in Iran The former prime minister told a private event that Labour β€˜had better show up’ for Washington

Keir Starmer took the position he did on the US and Israel's illegal bombing campaign in Iran, Mr. Blair, because he has learned from your mistakes.

It's unfortunately not at all surprising to be reminded that YOU have not.

Caine is wearing dress uniform. Hegseth, Vance, and Trump are wearing suits and ties. Trump is wearing a white 'USA' baseball cap.

Because nothing says 'dignified' like a baseball cap with 'USA' printed in gold on the panel.

If Biden or Obama or Clinton had shown up to such an event dressed like this, Republicans would *still* be screaming about it being disrespectful.

(Boneless skinless chicken thighs cooked with lemon, garlic, paprika, and oregano, rice pilaf, roasted vegetables, baby corn with garlic and red pepper flakes. No, baby corn isn’t particularly Greek, but it was yellow-stickered and I like it.)

Imagine a war
which everyone won
A permanent holiday
in endless sun
Peace without wisdom
One steals to achieve
Relentlessly
Pretending to believe...
