This blog is supported by the meager commissions I get when you buy stuff
on Amazon going through a link you see here. It doesn't matter if you buy what
is promoted, or something else - it's all still credited to the blog.
Long and short of it? If you're ever going to Amazon, do me a solid - come to
the blog first and use one of my links. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks...

As Dershowitz goes, so goes - I don't know, maybe Fetterman?
Alan Dershowitz, the prominent pro-Israel attorney whose clients have included US President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, announced on Monday that he was leaving the Democratic Party and registering as a Republican.
Describing himself as a “lifelong Democrat,” Dershowitz wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that he had decided to “bite the bullet and register as a Republican,” citing Democratic support for an arms embargo on Israel last week and the Michigan Senate candidate Abdul el-Sayed’s anti-Israel rhetoric.
“There is no denying that the hard left, anti-Israel wing of the Democratic Party has moved from the fringe to the mainstream,” Dershowitz wrote, adding that “Republicans have their own antisemitic fringe, but for now it remains a fringe.”
The announcement formalized a political evolution for Dershowitz, who defended Trump during his first impeachment and has increasingly broken with Democrats over Israel in recent years.
Just for the record, Fetterman is not - you guessed it - Jewish. Based on available biographical information and public records, Senator John Fetterman is not Jewish. While he is a staunch supporter of Israel and the Jewish community, his background is not Jewish, and he has often been noted for his strong stance on these issues despite not being a member of the faith. Even still, be nice to have him on the right side of the aisle. Juss' sayin'...

They came for our pennies and we said nothing...
Now there are mummerings that ole' Jefferson's - not George's -
mug may be next on the chopping block...
The death of the penny - which President Donald Trump ordered late last year after the coin began to cost approximately four times more to make than it’s actually worth in US currency - has some wondering if the nickel, which has been in circulation since 1866, could soon get the same fiscal farewell.
While penny preservationists once cautioned that eradicating the 1-cent coin had the potential to cause monetary mayhem, the only real-time consequence to date has been scattered penny shortages, according to USA Today.
Now, some are wondering if the nickel could be next on the chopping block of change - being that they are even “bigger losers” in terms of production cost-to-worth ratio. In 2024, each nickel made cost the United States Mint 13.78 cents, a loss of nearly 9 cents a coin. Added up, that equaled a $85 million loss. Meanwhile, each penny made in 2024 cost the US government 3.69 cents to make that year, adding up to an $18 million loss.

Wouldn't we all really like that here in the States?
Donald Trump has ‘raised doubts’ about the US’s commitment to Nato, Anders Fogh Rasmussen has said. Britain and France should lead a “Coalition of the Willing” to take responsibility for Europe’s defence without help from the United States, a former Nato chief has said.Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who served as the alliance’s secretary-general between 2009 and 2014, said a new security architecture was needed in response to Donald Trump’s threats to withdraw from Nato.
He proposed expanding the Coalition of the Willing, which was set up to defend Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire, to assume responsibility for Europe’s conventional defence. “I still consider Nato the cornerstone of European and North Atlantic security,” he told The Telegraph.
“But, after President Trump has raised doubts about his commitment towards Article Five [a mutual defence clause stating an attack on one member state is an attack on all] and the whole Nato alliance, we need to strengthen the European pillar of Nato.”
Remember your first date?
Half of single Americans say they are going on fewer dates or choosing less expensive activities because of rising costs, according to BMO’s 2026 survey. Gen Z adults spend an average of $205 per date, the survey says, making dating a meaningful share of annual income for young workers. The cost of dating itself is only part of the story. For millions of users, finding a date means paying for the apps.
Half of single Americans surveyed said they are going on fewer dates or choosing less expensive activities because of rising costs, according to BMO Financial Group’s 2026 BMO Real Financial Progress Index. The bank polled 2,501 adults in late December through January.
Not only that, but 48% of Gen Z adults and 40% of millennials surveyed said the high price of dating gets in the way of reaching their financial goals. A single date costs Gen Z adults $205 on average and millennials $252 on average.
That dynamic shows up in how young daters talk about first dates.
David Kuang, a 21-year-old Columbia University student, said the economics of dating can make every outing feel like a gamble. “There’s such a higher chance that something doesn’t click,” he said. “And then there goes your $40 dinner bill down the drain on someone that you might never talk to again.” Leo Gabriel, a 22-year-old living in New York City, also said he tries to keep first dates affordable. “I would probably spend around $45 to $50,” he said. “It’s enough not to break the bank.”
Overall, Gabriel said, he budgets around $150 to $200 a month for dating. “Why would I spend $100 on someone I might not even vibe with?” he added.

Do you what shit hitting the fan sounds like? Ihlan does...
As a member of the progressive 'Squad,' Omar, from Minnesota, has been a vocal advocate of defunding the police. Despite that, she's spent $168,575 campaign dollars on security services since 2017, per Federal Election Commission Records.
That security spending number is potentially double the amount of total assets revealed to be shared by Omar and her current husband whom she married in 2020, Tim Mynett, in their amended financial disclosure.
Tim Mynett is an 'entrepreneur', business owner, and longtime consultant to some of the most left-leaning political campaigns of the past 15 years. Throughout his career he has raised over $100 million for a wide array of organizations and candidates and has fought hard to leverage those resources to bring about substantial change to the corridors of power.
A Northern New Jersey native (say it ain't so, Joe...), Tim is an alum of SUNY at Albany and The University of Kwa Zulu Natal in Durban, South Africa.
You can't even begin to imagine the worms that must be squirming around in this guy's head. First and foremost - he married HER. God only knows what other crazy shit this guy has going on. Juss' sayin'...

A senior Iranian official said his government’s representatives have no plans to meet with senior U.S. negotiators headed to Pakistan for talks.
“No meeting is planned to take place between Iran and the U.S. Iran’s observations would be conveyed to Pakistan,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said.

I harken back to the late fifties. Mom didn't work 'cause there were three boys in the house. My Dad at the time was a Sergeant on the Newark PD. He was also an assistant manager at a Dairy Queen (full-time) and he helped my Uncle Warren with painting jobs on the side of his two full-time jobs. Which one of those jobs provided him with a 'living wage"?

15 powerful agricultural spray drones were stolen in a suspected coordinated heist in New Jersey last month. A report from The High Side claimed the FBI is investigating the theft amid fears the machines could be used to disperse dangerous materials. Agricultural drones are built for precision and designed to disperse large amounts of liquid over targeted areas using programmed GPS routes.
That same capability has troubled counterterrorism officials since the post-9/11 years, when fears centered on crop-duster planes flown by a lone pilot. Experts told The Hide Side that there could be 'ridiculously bad' consequences and 'a potential nightmare scenario' if terrorists get their hands on the machines.
