K          “Trump proclaims that the U.S. intends to commit blatant war crimes as a matter of national policy.”

J          “At least he paused.  Something is sinking in.”

. . .

K          “More than half a century ago, one of the – if not the – greatest diplomatic historians of his time repeated over and over and over and over again that a nation must never lose sight of the limits to its power.”

J          “The two-year-old narcissist will never intellectually and emotionally accept any limits to his power.”

. . .

J          “And then there is Lindsey.” 

K          “The state funeral is tomorrow.”

J          “If you want a state funeral in America, first be a war criminal.”

K          “The war criminal – a true American hero.  And look who will be attending.”

. . .

K          “Keep an ear to the ground.  Keep an eye on the 10-year Treasury.”

J          “I’ll stay grounded.  This might be the year.  The 10-year Treasury is the pulse, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation rolled into one number for assessing the health of the economy.  It appears to be rolling along, yet it is really on life support.  At some point, it may not roll along.”

Bumper Stickers of the Week: 

“From this point forward, any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether it be by Missile, Rocket, Drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT, including those located next to, or in, the Capital City of Tehran. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
