I did not write tonight, but I did produce an outline for a direct sequel to one of my better-known Calthus tales. Sword-and-sorcery with a strong Cthulhu/Ramsey Campbell vibe, if I can pull it off. #writingcommunity #writerslife

We’re 7 days into something that looks like a war, feels like a war, costs like a war, has the same economic effects of a war, but we’re not supposed to call it a war because it would require the President to follow that annoying thing called the United States Constitution.

The long arc of Donald Trump’s obsession with Iran Iranians are demanding economic justice, says historian Behrooz Ghamari—but Trump is just demanding their oil.

The US and Israel "are not going to stop until they have free access to Iran’s resources and oil."

Patients say measles 'worse than expected' as Utah hits 350+ infections, doctors say Health officials plead with residents to vaccinate against measles as Utah hits 358 infections.

People who choose not to get vaccinated surprised that measles sucks.

“A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue."

A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.

He seems pretty sensitive whenever someone confronts him with evidence that Putin might not be our friend. Even when Fox brings it up.

Our representative government is almost gone. We have a criminal conspiracy masquerading as a federal government.

They are doing virtually nothing for the average American.

Their focus is on personal wealth and power. And unwavering loyalty to the authoritarian ruler.

Rescue America. VOTE!

Trump's America has been berating and threatening its European and Canadian allies for years. Now it is demanding they support its war aims in Iran. But it can't explain what those aims are. Diplomatically speaking, this seems to be asking a lot.

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

Basically all of the bad economic news this term is because the president deliberately decided to do something moronic. He is much more personally responsible for this than most presidents are for the downturns in their administration.

I was happy to see a Bald Eagle pass by overhead. The ducks on the nearby river (where the eagle was heading) did not seem nearly as happy and promptly took off.

When the President of the United States views "We the People" as a threat to his power, he has abdictated his sworn duty to serve us and must be immediately removed from office.
