This Week and Next: Trump’s Wars are Killing Us and Other Happy Happenings
The pointless war, more reckless spending, the hidden gays around DC and in Chatham a campaign to legitimize a fake farm continues in the wrong town.
Well, it has been another horrible week in America. RFK Jr. is now competing with Dr. Oz on pushing snake oil medicine: peptides. How America will survive these times is becoming more and more tenuous. Oz at least sold his nonsense from a daytime TV show that we all knew was a scam after Oprah stopped showing up. Kennedy sells his from a cabinet position.
Trump has not only amped up the rhetoric, he is actively bombing Iran again. Still no congressional approval for a war, but Hegseth is up on the Hill with his hand out for more cash to fund this idiot war that plunged the world into financial chaos. And if that has not been destabilizing enough, Trump is now adding nuclear fuel to the Middle East, supplying Saudi Arabia with technology so they can literally go nuclear.
Back home there is still no proof of life around McConnell, which at this point a person really does have to look at with a real eye on GOP trickery. It seems profoundly strange that he can take a photo reading a paper with his wife, send text messages and hold conference calls but can’t do a FaceTime or meet with reporters. Let’s face it, America, we are being conned.
The one thing worth listening to all week was Hunter Biden, who is out on the talk show and podcast circuit and done being careful. He's been talking about the closeted men in Washington, says it's an open secret, and who doesn’t believe him? I've always thought the uber-Christian ones walk with a certain joie de vivre. He named Johnson and Hawley. Can't say I disagree. Whatever Mike's orientation happens to be, a grown man checking in with his son about their porn consumption is an arrangement that makes me want a shower. Hawley I've picked up a vibe from for years. Vance and the recently departed Graham are lavender mafia, full stop. Mostly, though, the pleasure is watching Hunter take the shots at all.
On the Wine Wars front I’ve gotten a lot of emails about a certain vintner’s posting on Nextdoor. Seems that the Fox Hill Estate Vineyard is continuing its PR campaign trying to legitimize itself as a farm. Now with claims of raising cattle. Now, I was pretty sure those were Donal’s cows, but who knows, maybe I’m confused. After all, I could have sworn that 509 was in Malden Bridge, not North Chatham. But I suppose, like all things, from the farming career to the cows to the town, it’s all up to one’s imagination. I do like the “celebrate and support of local farming community for generations.” Nice touch, too bad the community by and large are against it.
