I don’t feel any particular need to keep active tabs on the day-to-day Trump-spewing from the White House. I’ve included this image of the White House from Getty because it looks kind of foreboding and captures a bit of how I feel about the whole thing.
A war with Iran was never going to be a good thing, nor was it a smart move. We’ve imperiled ourselves as a nation, and more specifically, our troops, for seemingly no coherent reason. No rationale or Wednesday night quarterbacking on April Fools’ Day will bring any sanity to the situation.
Labeling this current effort as a “distraction” from more significant issues facing our nation is accurate; however, it downplays the reality that we have several urgent matters to address.
Gas prices continue to rise. The current military assault on Iran will drive them higher.
I choose to eat a peanut butter egg and hope for saner minds to steer us in a better direction. It is not giving up so much as it is hoping for more, and the better that we all deserve in this moment.
