WW E / III:  Percolating And Festering And Exploding (July 6, 2026)

. . .

J:       “Percolating in the Middle East and festering in Ukraine.”

K:       “Or percolating in Ukraine and festering in the Middle East.”

J:       “And exploding across the planet.”

. . .

J:       “No serious discussion of invoking the 25th Amendment.”

K:       “No serious discussion of much of anything.”

J:       “Propaganda, subterfuge, sleight of hand, smoke and mirrors, deceit, deception, and dishonesty.”

. . .

K:       “The ‘D’ division of the War and Wall Street Party is saying desperately little and doing even less to challenge the ‘R’ division of the War and Wall Street Party.”

J:       “The ‘Uniparty’ has two right wings.”

. . .

J:       “As a society, we’ve somehow decided that the price of a gallon of gas deserves to be posted on every street corner, while no one advertises the price of toilet paper or toothpaste.  Fuel prices have become a political lightning rod, even though they’re only one piece of a family’s budget.  Meanwhile, almost every other price is quietly creeping higher.”

K:       “We’re still waiting for what seems like an inevitable—if unenviable—economic reckoning.  Then again, I’ve been expecting it for sixteen years, so my timing hasn’t exactly inspired confidence.”
