Last night, The US Senate approved a war powers resolution preventing Donald Trump from continuing hostilities against Iran, delivering the president a significant but symbolic rebuke over a conflict that has proven unpopular with the American public.
The resolution passed by a 50-48 vote, with four Republicans – Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Rand Paul of Kentucky – breaking with their party to support its adoption. John Fetterman, of Pennsylvania, was the sole Democrat to vote against the resolution.
The measure, which passed the House of Representatives earlier this month, would require the president to seek Congress’s authorization to use military force against Iran. It comes after Trump dispatched JD Vance to Switzerland to negotiate a settlement that would resolve the conflict the US began alongside Israel in February.
Without the threat of military action, we are now powerless in convincing Iran's moo-lahs to change their ways. The pussification of America begins anew...

On June 22, 2026, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that the federal government cannot prevent SNAP recipients from using their benefits to purchase sugary items like soda and candy.
The judge found that the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) overstepped its authority by approving state waivers to restrict these purchases. The lawsuit was initially brought by residents in five states: Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
The court ruled that the definition of "food" under SNAP is set by Congress, not the executive branch. Therefore, officials cannot unilaterally redefine what counts as food to exclude sugary items.
Think about that for a minute. This highly educated pillar of justice thinks SweetTarts are food, and stops the government from not letting freeloaders free load junk food and crap with your tax doolars - or, more appropriately, your grandkid's tax dollars, 'cause they're the ones who'll eventually have to pay those bills.. And then sit back and ponder why we're trillions and trillions of dollars in debt to God knows who, and then be carefull your brain doesn't explode.

I bought a $ 10.00 scratch-off ticket yesterday at Circle K. Won a hundred, so I decided I should treat the Babs and I to a fancy feast - at home. Went over to Sam's Club and found this lovely rack of New Zealand lamb, which frighteningly cost me $ 29.00 friggin' dollars. Cranked some tunes on the newly-painted deck, popped a Heinie, fired up the grille and in to heaven we went. Served it wtih sauteed apples, spinach and fresh-made garlic mashed.
Life is friggin' good, my friend - lemme tell ya...

Some Democratic senators, including Tim Kaine, have argued that passage of a war powers resolution is necessary, even after the US reached an agreement with Iran and amid ongoing negotiations with Tehran.
“I think it’s a good time to have the vote to say, ‘Hey, if we’re really in a period of maybe some stability here, let’s not just allow it to start up again without Congress being involved in that decision,” he told reporters last week.

Necessity being the mother of invention and all that, that's kinda funny. Props to the dude doing it, although I don't know quite how viable an actual solution it is. Wouldn't ya love to watch her head explode if our friend Greta got sight of this? Her head'd probably start spinning and go 'til it twisted off...

Didja ever wonder who else was reading the blog and where they might be? This little screencap is just a very small portion of yesterday afternoon's activities behind the scenes. We are now getting somewhere in the area of 18-20k readers every day, and in total, the blog will pass 20 million viewers (an aggregate of page views) sometime next month.
Thank you all so much for your interest - and your feedback. I really enjoy your comments, taking them as somewhat of a compliment - and sometimes a challenge......
