It is 5:09 am, and I hear the helicopters from my window
We're at war. Because the pedophile madman says so.
I woke a few minutes ago to the sound of helicopters.
If you live in SoCal (as most here surely do), it’s not an unfamiliar soundtrack. Camp Pendleton is a stone’s throw away, and training runs are fairly common.
But it’s now been going on for an hour, and I wondered whether something bigger was transpiring. A kidnapper roaming the streets. A notorious burglar tracked speeding down the 5. Cameron Diaz’s cat stuck in a tree.
Nope.
We just bombed Iran.
I am so sick of this shit. Not the helicopters, but the monsters atop our government cosplaying their military fantasies. If you missed this, somewhat recently Pete Hegseth—hard-drinking Fox News bruh-turned-defense secretary—seemed to fake bench pressing 315 pounds to impress the troops. Also recently, Donald Trump yet again bemoaned never winning a Congressional Medal of Honor. These are not serious people. They are, instead, folks who watched “Patton” as children, and desperately want to embody George C. Scott embodying Gen. George Patton. They want to smoke a stogie while addressing troops, “Top Gun”-like. They want to linger before fighter pilots and deliver this speech. They want leaders (real leaders) to stand at attention as they command them what to do.
They are men with small penises and thimble-sized testicles, but reckless egos the size of skyscrapers.
Worst of all, they’re fucking liars.
Last year, we were told by Donald Trump that Iran’s nuclear capabilities were kaput. Now, we are being told Iran has the nuclear capabilities to strike the United States. Both cannot be true. As the New York Times wrote just now in, WHY HAVE YOU STARTED THIS WAR, MR. PRESIDENT? …
I say this sincerely: I have a dog named Poppy. She is easy as blueberry pie. Feed her, she’s happy. Take her out twice a day to poop and pee, she poops and pees.
I would trust neither Donald Trump nor Pete Hegseth to care for her. When no one is looking, they would kick her—for fun. For giggles. Then they’d rub her face in the poop.
These are not serious men.
They are monsters.
And now, because of them, folks will die.

PS: Here’s a Shahed drone striking the dome of a radar station at a US naval base in Bahrain. Fucking a.
"And now, because of them, folks will die." You're surely right about that. But I would note that lots of people have already died because our government is lead by a gang of criminals, thugs and grifters. Renee Good and Alex Pretti were murdered by our government. Numerous people in boats in the Caribbean have been murdered on orders from Donald Trump. People in Venezuela were murdered when Maduro was seized without a Congressional authorization for war. And when you really get down to it, I'm inclined to believe that Trump had Jeffrey Epstein murdered in prison because he knew too much. Our President is a murderer.
I'm in Mission Viejo volunteering at the Oso Fit 5k and don't hear anything but birds and the occasional passer by before the race starts. I saw the news about what we did with Israel sometime around 5 a.m. and was not surprised. Nor was I surprised to see that Russia is pissed. As I walked down to make my morning tea, I sent as much positivity to the universe in honor of the Iranian people, their families here in the US and to our men and women who are being asked to go in and fight an illegal war.
The madman must be stopped.
