Continuing Conflicts...on and on and on

Open Thread image.jpg

It has become difficult to keep up with all our coups, wars, and conflicts. I think the war machine still sees China as our primary target as they surpass us in so many ways. I think TPTB are still deluding themselves over NATOstan's ability to "weaken" Russia. I also think the war with Iran is just on pause until we get more military assets in place. Venezuela is still Chavista despite Trump claiming to be its president. Next on the list is Greenland. I'll be surprised if it last as a territory of Denmark, and fully expect US control by next summer. There's also talk of taking over Cuba, little Marco's wet dream. And we can't forget the US funded ongoing Palestinian genocide paired with bombing runs over Lebanon and Syria. Next and perhaps most disturbing is the war on US citizens. We now have ICE agents acting like SS troops on US soil...faces covered, no ID, no badge number yanking disabled people from their cars for traffic errors. I think there is a war on US citizens who don't behave like TPTB expect and say things contrary to current policy...like end the Palestinian genocide.

Album of the Week 1-17-26

Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 01/17/2026 - 3:00pm

Afternoon folks!

This week we're starting in Chicago with albums from two great artists, guitarist Otis Rush and a compilation album from Sonny Boy Williamson (2 - Rice Miller for those paying attention in the cheap seats.) After that, it's off to Louisiana for a compilation album from Buckwheat Zydeco and then a great live album from New Orleans' Funky Meters. We finish off with a recent album of prog rock from the band Nektar.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

I've been promoted from friend to patriot

This morning's missive from my Republican admirers:

Patriot,

Technically, we’re not supposed to do something like this, but you are more than worth the risk.

I had a look at your file, and frankly, to say I’m “impressed” would be a massive understatement.

You are EXACTLY the type of person President Trump needs in his corner.
