Nobody Knows, Really
This is not another hot take on the hot mess in Iran.
Hello, Friend,
The dogs of war are howling, once again.
I’m trying not to obsess about the news, though how could anyone not obsess about the news?
I’m trying not to obsess about the messaging from the people who will tell you with great authority what the future holds. The endless hot takes keep coming from the star readers and the card readers and the soothsayers and the necromancers and the insiders and the former insiders and the outsiders pressed against the glass in search of answers and the 24/7 cable news machine and the armchair quarterbacks who know nothing but think they know better. The relentless stream of pundits and purveyors, experts and enthusiasts, outrage inducers and over explainers are all at the ready to tell you what they think they know.
It’s just that…nobody knows, really.
America is being led by clueless cartoon villains. No one who has the power to stop them seems interested in trying. They’ve made it clear that our safety and security and future and joy and health and even our very existence are meaningless to them. They’re happy to pilfer every last hard earned penny from our coffers and stuff billions into the g-strings of the Tech Bros who’ve gone all in on Big War and Big Brother.
It’s a sad, sick, stupid show that demands our unrelenting attention. If we dare look away, even for a moment, they ratchet up the dial until it all becomes a deafening roar.
I don’t wish to add to the cacophony today.
I have no answers.
There are no definitives.
Certainty is an illusion.
Nobody knows, really.
When chaos takes the reins, the best we can do is buckle up, hold our people close, and hang on.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Repeat.

On Saturday, I decided to take a "No Trump" day. No news, no internet, no anything that could in any way make me think of that man baby. On Sunday, I learn he has bombed Iran. There is no good day to get a break from his relentless need for attention. I was married to a narcissist for 15 years, so I know what that insatiability does to the sanity of all those around them.
Stay sane! Give Cowbert Jr a big wet kiss from me!!!
Agree 100% these are time of unrest and uncertainty. No one knows what the shithead will do next, but he is on track to destroy America as we know it. He needs to be gone. Sparkle on my friend ✨️✨️
