Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 3/25/26, 8:01 am

I feel like recently I have started these by talking about the weather. But today is different I am talking about talking about the weather.

  • Look at all of the No Kings events.
  • Some Seattle City Council members really like the Flock cameras (item 2).
  • Cherry blossoms. So dang many.
  • 3 cheers to the kids doing ICE Out protests.
  • Family Promise of Puget Sound has money to keep going.

    Trump asked NATO to send ships to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. Every. single. ally. refused. Trump called them “cowards” and said NATO has a “very bad future”. He then announced that the United States doesn’t actually need the Strait of Hormuz. He then said countries that do need it should police it themselves. He then told China to police it. He then sent 5,000 Marines toward it.

    You would not want to be one of those Marines.

    Navy sailors aboard the USS Ford were so sick of the bullshit they set their own vessel on fire in protest. Smart move, since within days it was discovered that Iran’s effective missile range is twice what we had been projecting before President Grandpa got blackmailed by Israel into starting a war he can’t win.

    ICE should concentrate on getting violent, illegal felons who are here illegally. This does not have to be a media event like so much of it has been in the recent past.

    In other news, the Netanyahu/Trumped-up War is going badly for the Americans and the Israelis. Just stop it, already! The Iranians don’t have a nuke and don’t want one (for now, at least!).

    The Marines aren’t for the Strait. They’re for Kharg Island.

    The Strait is oil transport by everyone else in the Gulf. Kharg Island is oil production by Iran.

    @4 Kharg Island is oil production by Iran.

    That’s strange, considering Kharg Island has no oil wells. How do they do that?

    Kharg Island, like Hormuz Strait, is important for the transport of oil out of the Gulf. Seizing it merely keeps Iran from sending oil out of the Gulf, while Iran keeping Hormuz closed keeps everyone else from sending oil out of the Gulf. What you achieve by sending Marines to Kharg Island is that nobody sends any oil out of the Gulf, pushing global oil prices even higher.

    People who don’t understand parliamentary democracy probably shouldn’t speak of them. Danish PM resigns because the center left social Democrats still hold the most seats after the election and is now tasked with trying to organize a coalition that will put her back as PM. Parties that made significant gains in the Danish elections include the greens.m.

    So the center/center right coalition that was leading Denmark is done and if the outgoing p.m. wants it back gonna have to move pretty far to the left to get the greens and the people’s party on board with a new coalition.

    But ultimately, you can’t “lose” what you never set out to acheive in the first place. Israel imposed this war on President Angry Grandpa. Israel’s motivations are mostly to avoid settling their violent disputes over territory they have no claims to so that felon Bibi can stay in power and stay out of prison. President Grandpa has no objectives. So he can make them up as he goes along. Which means he can’t “lose” in any conventional military sense.

    But he can certainly lose in a conventional political sense.

    Under threat from Iranian counterattacks, many of the 40,000 American troops based in the Middle East have had to disperse to hotels and office spaces because the 13 U.S. bases in the region are “all but uninhabitable.”

    -NYT

    Sending everyone “home” to hide out has a significant impact on unit readiness. When (not if) the next F-35 gets shot down you can’t respond. So air mission planners have to take that into account and avoid high value targets that are well defended. So you order missions for dramatic effect, and ‘splodiness (to please President Angry Grandpa) instead of missions that degrade your enemy’s ability to strike at you. And thus the conflict lasts longer, and longer, and continues to become an asymmetrical war of attrition that you can’t “win”.

    So you are under the impression you could have opened the checkbook at any time but it’s still the Democrat’s fault TSA isn’t getting paid?

    Explain.

    The Radical Left Democrats, and their “Leader,” Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, have made it very clear where they stand, and that is, ON THE SIDE OF CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS, AND NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. They are refusing to fund Immigration Enforcement unless the Republicans agree to their Open Border Policies, which will never, ever happen again. They almost destroyed our Country, allowing 25 Million People to enter from Prisons, Mental Institutions, and Insane Asylums, those that are Drug Dealers, and thousands of Murderers, many of whom killed more than one person. Because the Democrats have recklessly created a true National Crisis, I am using my authorities under the Law to protect our Great Country, as I always will do! Therefore, I am going to sign an Order instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, to immediately pay our TSA Agents in order to address this Emergency Situation, and to quickly stop the Democrat Chaos at the Airports. It is not an easy thing to do, but I am going to do it! I want to thank our hardworking TSA Agents and also, ICE, for the incredible help they have given us at the Airports. I will not allow the Radical Left Democrats to hold our Country hostage any longer. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

    @ 82

    RFK Jr told pregnant women that they really shouldn’t get it.

    And since publication of the Norwegian study on March 20 RFK Jr. would probably tell pregnant women something different.

    Would you like a list of the things Fauci said that turned out to be unsupported by the data, or reality, or common sense?

    It’s been six years since COVID-19 now, and meta-analyses are usually possible after five years of studies have been published. So expect them to be frequent news items beginning in the second half of 2026. What we will find is that a lot of what we were told is incorrect.

    What we already know is that much of what Fauci said was purposely incorrect.

    BTW the Norwegian study argues in favor of maternal antibody transfer. It also confirms waning immunity following vaccination, since infants older than six months received no benefit if their mothers were vaxxed during pregnancy.

    At first I thought it was real but felt that this was purposely done by the administration as revenge and to garner attention and to change the perspective of airport lines.
