No.
Egypt!
Aren’t you worried about …?

Elon Musk, reportedly the world’s richest man, is continuing his attacks on the poor. USAID is being shut down, as is Head Start.
He is turning up the screws on Federal employees to resign. He did this at Twitter and is being sued for not living up to what he promised.
Meanwhile, his gang of six, the boys in short pants, have been given access to the keys to the kingdom in the form of the Treasury Department’s payment system. What they will do to that is yet to be determined.
60 Minutes has turned over its tapes of their interview with Kamala Harris to the FCC. Part of Trump’s on going $10B suit that CBS showed Kamala in a positive light.
Fighting between Rwanda and the Congo has left 3,000 dead and the Red Cross says there will be more.
Ukraine is appealing to conservative American Christians to help keep the aid flowing by attending the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC.
Trump has said Gaza should be turned into a resort. Nice beaches and all that. Hey Donnie, the last time you suggested this boffo idea it was North Korea, right down the road from Un’s concentration camps for political rivals or anyone for that matter who showed anything but total subservience. How’d that turn out?
Hello? Hello?
And in other news efforts to contain deadly diseases have been shut down. It’s the mantra of the Republicans to, as one article explained it, treat infectious diseases like mega-donors. By cutting off funding to NIH and cutting ties to WHO there are now reports of outbreaks of avian flu and ebola. These organizations had contained and were close to ending HIV, TB, and malaria. But hey, why not give them a chance to go wild again?
Apparently, part of the MAGA cult belief is that vaccines and disease prevention is bad. To show their distain not only do they not get vaccinated, they don’t wash their hands. That’ll show them.
And in international get tough affairs Trump has gotten both Canada and Mexico to bend their knees to the great orange one! They’ve agreed to do things that they agreed to do when Biden was President. Way to go Donnie!
Egg prices have skyrocketed and gas is above $3.00 pretty much everywhere. What happened? Transgender chickens. Yeah, that’s it.
PS It’s been pointed out that what I thought was a bull is a cow. Who knew cows had horns? I took a picture of two signs one was clearly a cow, The other I ASSumed was bull. My bad.
I try not to pay attention to the news to maintain my own sanity but it’s really hard to hide from this kind of news. Where did I learn that tactic? It was recommended for me to see a mental therapist. She is the one who told me to shut off the news. Go skiing, she said. I’m 80 years old with a bad case of osteo. I won’t be going skiing. I really am trying to hold on but after reading an Opinion in the Seattle Times Titled “Trump is running America the way America ran Iraq” by Michelle Goldberg, I am losing my grip. I just don’t understand how the Democrats didn’t see this coming. If they did, why didn’t they fight like hell against it? Or, is it really true Musk messed with the voting machines?
I’m struggling between hearing about the latest atrocities and hiding my head in the sand. My biggest issue, I think, is that no one can, or seems to be able to, do anything to stop this destruction.
The only think making me laugh is the nicknames for Musk’s gang of hackers; Shitler Youth, Traitor Tots. and Dogebags are my favorites.
And, I’m really hoping that Philly fans come thru tomorrow and boo their hearts out when that orange asshat shows up at the Super Bowl.
