The Hormuz Letter
@HormuzLetter
BREAKING: Iran has just launched anti-ship cruise missiles from southern Iran toward vessels under US escort in the US-backed southern Omani corridor of the Strait of Hormuz, per multiple initial reports.
Heavy US military activity is currently underway over the Strait with at least 5 US Air Force KC-135/KC-46A refueling tankers + 2 US Navy P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft.

A truly sad story, but at least your life didn’t turn to crap afterwards. You’ll meet up with your first wife again someday in the hereafter.
Best

LOL I’m sure someone who had done all those things would make a superior president. They’d have a greater idea of how the universe works. But like you say no one who is really qualified would want the job. What a bundle of headaches!

Dolly Parton’s passing has special meaning for Silverngold. Here’s why.
March 3, 1994 my wife Rita kissed me goodbye, headed for town for a day of shopping. I went back to checking my cows for any more new calves, and about 20 minutes later, about the amount of time to drive there from the ranch, I heard sirens from the highway which was on the other side of the river but only maybe 1/2 mile from our ranch as the crow flies. A little later I got a call from my daughter-in-law who gave me the news that Rita had been hit by a logging truck on the highway….and “it’s the worst.” The RCMP eventually notified me later that day. The highway had been covered with black ice but it could not be determined who was responsible for the accident. Rita had been instantly killed!
Later that same day a neighboring couple came by the ranch with some food and their condolences, and the lady, in tears, took me aside and said “I have a message for you from a Higher Power. You will be hearing from Rita in a song”. I thanked her but didn’t really think any more about it until the next morning, after a sleepless night, when I climbed into my truck to take care of imminent ranching chores and turned on the truck radio for the news, the very first thing that came on was Dolly Parton …and she was singing:
If I should stay…well I would only be in your way…
So I’ll go…and yet I know…I’ll be with you each step of the way…
And I will always Love You….I will always love you…..
I cried myself dry!
I never again doubted that there was and is a “HIGHER POWER” who gives us guidance, if we will listen.
Later my life again returned to Silver and Gold with a most wonderful new bride for the past 30 years now….and counting. Life is beautiful, and so was Dolly. Sng
ipso, that’s right.
Trump is mostly there, but is hamstrung by a million nobodies who obstruct the show because they can’t do anything else. The following rules must also apply to anyone wanting to enter the “public service” as well as to politicians who always claim that they are willing, nay, consider it would be a priviledge to serve us, if we would only elect them to power service.
Meet a payroll of at least ten people, non-relatives, for 13 consecutive weeks.
Kill and dress a bull.
Spend a year working on a farm.
Run an under 8’s sporting team and have them working as a team at the end of the season.
Be the husband of one wife keeping his children submissive and respectful in every way, for if a man does not know how to manage his household, how can he care for the country?
In practice we find that 99.9% of people who actually want to run the country should be disqualified on that ground alone. Nobody who is really able to do the job would ever want it. Nobody who wants it should ever have it.

The Birmingham mayor and city council, which is dominated by Muslims, has tried to place restrictions on the English national flags. They don’t want the flags placed on public infrastructure such as lamp posts or highways.
The flags of other countries such as Pakistan, Bangladesh and India have no restrictions.

You’re right there … not really any choice.
It’s a problem that so many new politicians have so little real world experience. Some have never had a job or supported themselves. This may not be Trump but he’s got different problems.
Cheers
treefrog, ipso, not really a choice, was it?
Trump the least worse, really. I too had high hopes that he would have learnt from his first term mistakes, but apart from some promising health policies, not so. Debt, foreign policy, election integrity; the herd of elephants in the room are thriving. It’s the same here in Oz, and throughout most of the world. The bureaucrats rule the roost. Politicians are incredibly ignorant spouting what is put in front of them for their speeches as they haven’t a functioning brain cell between their whole party. I’ve just listened to our lying turds on TV saying that data centres will be mandated to only use renewables! Despite forecasts that they will double demand ….
The Fed Psychop
Don’t do anything to stop inflation or spending, just say they will and sacrifice the commodities while the dollar devalues and world banks buys more gold and tech and data stocks that want to rule the world and governments that want to bring out digital currency someday get a discount on rare earths.
