Alas, his position is the loneliest in the world. There is no one to point the way out. There is only this ceaseless wandering from room to room in this vast emptiness. Where is the room with Texas in it? The room where Iran sleeps? The room where Ukraine lies a\u2019gasp with a sucking chest wound? Watch out, he\u2019ll start shouting soon. Calling Dr. Jill: Code Blue. . . !<\/p>\n<p><strong>The world may be a disaster these days, but the White House is a bigger disaster. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Can you name the White House chief of staff? Betcha can\u2019t. Know why? He never, ever comes out and speaks to that mob in the press room. He might have to answer some difficult questions, such as<em>: <strong>if the president\u2019s brain is switched off more than half the time, who decides what to do with that \u2018nuclear football\u2019 they carry around with him.

Especially since you don\u2019t know for a hundred percent sure that there is a place called heaven, or that it\u2019s mainly a seraglio? By the way, why does our country (that\u2019d be the USA) have all these little military outposts scattered around the desert wastelands of Jordan, Syria, and other lands of the Middle East? Did the one called Tower Two that got blown up a few days ago have a target painted on it? Might as well have. You think the \u201cother side\u201d doesn\u2019t have satellite imagery of the terrain? Kind of looks like we\u2019re asking for trouble. And, also by the way, how come two of the three US soldiers killed there were girls? Is that how we do war these days? With a girlie army? Who actually thinks that\u2019s going to work?<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, \u201cJoe Biden.\u201d Be advised: <strong>there is chatter coming out of this mysterious White House about bringing back the military draft.<\/strong> Remember what that is, Boomers?

Fifty-thousand-plus KIA. <strong>Only now we\u2019ll be drafting girls (and probably some boys who want to be girls).<\/strong> I guess we\u2019ll figure out now how gung-ho Gen Z really is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You didn\u2019t ask, but things are not going so well in our remote-control war in Ukraine against Russia (Putinland). <\/strong>Our Zelensky team (we own it) got completely rope-a-doped, punched itself out, its knees are buckling. Victoria Nuland, the renowned State Department girlie war-hawk, says she\u2019s confident that Congress will pass the new $61 billion aid package for the Z-team, according to Radio Free Europe, the blob\u2019s official propaganda outlet. The blob wants you to think that Putin wants to turn all of Europe into Putinland.
