With some 50,000 troops ready to invade Iran, I predicted that’s what Trump would do. Thankfully, for now, he’s proving the TACO Rule.

Mister Whoopee explains the economic failure of windmill power, and the dangers. These include noise, bird shredding, and cancer.
Wait. Maybe I shouldn’t jump to false conclusions.
The world needs more cartoons with a walrus and a bird.
Paul’s Lady Jane
From 1970, the same year as the very strange movie Performance with Mick Jagger, there is the strange and bawdy Deep End. With music by Cat Stevens, Jane Asher shows off what Paul McCartney gave up when they split.
Diana Dors, who is one of the cardboard figures on the ‘Sgt. Pepper’ album cover, is considerably heavier here than she was at sixteen, in the first Huggetts movie with Petula Clark.
Her Smart Direction
One of the signature “true crime” events during George W. Bush’s presidency was the abduction of Elizabeth Smart.
It was a strange case that caused an immediate sensation. Along the way, there was a missed opportunity, due to a police failure, to save Smart from further captivity. In the end, Elizabeth was found to be a victim of a dangerous mixture of sex and religion.
Smith’s abductor had used her religion to his advantage. Mitchell claimed to be following the early Mormon Church teachings regarding child brides and polygamy. He just wasn’t as successful at carrying out those abuses as Warren Jeffs had been.
Years later, after Elizabeth had been rescued and resumed as normal a life as possible, the Smart family endured another shock, when the father came out as being gay.
Now a married mom, Elizabeth’s life has taken an unexpected turn. This time, it’s one of her own choosing. She’s gotten into extreme exercise. After giving up running marathons, Elizabeth is hefting weights.
This makes total sense. Having been abused when she wasn’t strong enough to fight, Elizabeth is now physically powerful and in control.

New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh suggests he may take an Alan Greenspan-style approach at the central bank
As Fed chairman, Powell wasn’t all that different from Greenspan in his favoring of banking deregulation. As I covered five long years ago.

Donald proves once again that every accusation is an admission. He’s as trashy as Colbert is classy.
@realdonaldtrump
There’s nothing clever or funny about Trump. All he has are his endless, mindless insults. He is a bottomless pit of need and insecurity.
Here’s the fun thing that Colbert did on community cable TV after his final CBS show.
