There are events all over Wyoming today.
The Cornfederate Wyoming Freedom Caucus is in trouble, and people are organizing even here. The GOP is in real trouble.
They're going to lose the House and Senate in November, and Trump will outright attempt to steal the election.
The Japanese government issued the Haitō Edict, The Sword Abolishment Edict (廃刀令) prohibiting people, with the exception of former lords (daimyōs), the military, and law enforcement officials, from carrying weapons in public, including swords.
It was an attack on the former samurai class, with their establishment itself having already been eliminated.
The TSA isn't getting paid as the Democrats have been opposing additional funding for ICE, the masked cowards who go around shooting protestors.
The Democrats are right.
Anyhow, Mike Johnson, sycophantic toady, held up a Senate passed bill to resume funding for everyone but the masked cowards as a political stunt which means that TSA will continue not to get paid, resulting in this headline in the CST:
Casper/Natrona County airport resumes food drive for TSA employees
The article noted the following:
Airport spokeswoman Katie Reed confirmed that Thursday, adding the airport is also accepting nonperishable household items like paper towels, toilet paper, and detergent on top of the standard nonperishable food items.
BASH: Is this measles outbreak a consequence of the administration undermining support for vaccines?
DR OZ: I don't believe so. Secretary Kennedy has been advocating for measles vaccines
BASH: Oh, come on
From a CNN Interview of Mehmet Oz, a prime example of the Oprah Effect.1
In fairness to Dr. Oz, who in fairness should not be a government official, he does want people to get the measles vaccine.
Also in fairness, the dissing of vaccines isn't really a Trump thing in and of itself, but he gave it some boosted unneeded assistance by taking the political step of promising Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. a job as the HHS Secretary if he'd drop out of the last Presidential race. Kennedy is a quack, and an opponent of vaccines in varying degrees (it seems to change day by day). The rise of this movement, however, started with people like Jenny McCarthy who sadly has a son with autism. McCarthy herself was a Playboy model and her only real expertise is in showing her naked visage, something that really doesn't qualify a person for anything serious, and in fact may achieve much the opposite.
Oh, and by the way, Jenny McCarthy appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show multiple times in the 2000s to discuss her erroneous theories on autism and vaccines, and to promote a book she wrote.
Much of this story has to do with the inability to understand the difference between present conditions and past ones. People tend to assume that negative developments in a population mean a negative present condition. Sometimes they do, but sometimes they also represent a positive one. I'll give a personal example.
In 1982 I had pneumonia while at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. I was extremely ill, literally on death's door.
Before the advent of antibiotics the fatality rates for bacterial pneumonia were between 60% and 70%.
Not good.
Now, the survivability rate is pretty good.
I've had a colon surgery for a developing condition that would have killed me even thirty years ago.
The point? Well, if I go on to develop Alzheimer's, which I pray I do not, it'll mostly be because I didn't die at age 19 of pneumonia.
Also, fwiw, Meet The Press this weekend had a physician on who noted that diseases we can now vaccinate for are associated with cancer, which is a developing field of medicine. I.e., you get some disease that's not big deal when young, and then you get cancer when older. You don't want cancer.
A fellow I know who suffered a heart attack, and who was otherwise very healthy, may have developed his heart condition this way as well.
Get vaccinated.

March 27, 2026.
In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, President Donald J. Trump’s signature alongside @SecScottBessent's will soon appear on U.S. currency, marking a first in history, and symbolizes @POTUS ' leadership and dedication to our great nation will carry a lasting impact
U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach.
And hence, the era of defacement of U.S. currency began.
Seriously, my prediction will be for those dealing in cash, the number of "F***" next to Donny's signature, or replicas of his public Epstein birthday card's, or any number of defacements, will be epic.
The sycophantic sucking up this this demented twit is beyond all understanding. When this is all over, and it will be soon, Bessant ought to spend every day for the rest of his life apologizing.
Footnotes:
1. The Oprah Effect is so named here to explain the phenomenon of Oprah Winfrey putting some flaming bogosity on to her popular daytime television show and thereby having millions of people give it credence. There are a fair number of examples, including the rise of Dr. Oz.

A Second World War, over Iran, was averted.
Yesterday some time my cell phone, which was an iPhone 11, died in that it would no longer place or receive telephone calls. Indeed, communications wise, the only thing it would still do is text another iPhone. I discovered this when I went to make a work call after I got home.
I've never been a fan of cell phones. I hate them, actually. They do some good things, like allow me to be in contact with my family in a way that my father wasn't after I'd left home for college. That's about the only thing I like about them. Modern cell "phones" are actually iPods and cameras, and little computers, and I like some of those features, but I'm not fooling myself they have anything to do with cellular telecommunications
The major thing the cell phone has done, however, is to allow my office job, that of being a lawyer, to intrude into my entire life, all day, and every day, long. Being a lawyer is already a difficult job and it taking over everything all the time is really miserable. Abraham Lincoln, when he was a lawyer, didn't have his clients sitting at his dinner table or bothering him on Sundays. Every modern lawyer does.
I hate iPhones for that.
And for that reason, at age 62, nearly 63, I just decided not to replace it. Unable to place my call, I came back into the living room, and while I thought twice about it, as I was fearful of the reaction I might and did get, I told my wife "my cell phone is dead".
As soon as she believed it (there is honor in being a prophet, save in one's own household) she sprung into action. It was already evening. "Are you saying you want me to go get a new one?"
I answered truthfully, "no, I'm not".
Now, to explain that, my wife loves cell phones. I think everyone in the family loves them, save for me. So she takes care of getting the cell phones, not me. I'd be poorly suited for it at best.
Anyhow, she asked again, "if you want me to go get one I need to know right now so I can do it".
"No, I don't want you to go get one, it can wait".
Not believing that, it was followed up with the same question, at which point I answered truthfully. "I don't want a new one".
That really sprang her into action, "I'll go to Best Buy right now". My reply, again truthfully, "I don't want a new one, I hate cell phones and I'm glad its dead."
That was met with a scoff and she left with my dead phone and returned with a new one. It's an iPhone 17. Because of the codes involved in doing that, that meant that I had to finish setting it up, which I reluctantly did last night.
Defeated by technology. Not in using it, but in being made to use it.

Trump claimed in an interview with the New York Post that Venezuela failed to get their AAA rockets off the ground during the U.S.'s raid as the US used a "discombobulator" on them.
Um. . .sure.
In a bit of a defense for the deranged prince, what the military probably was referring to was an electronic jamming system. While no doubt the most recent variants are quite advanced, such systems have been around for a very long time.
Trump's incredibly racist post depicting the Obama's as apes was taken down and blamed on a staffer.
Um. . . sure.
Trump is also claiming that the US has wanted a triumphal arch for 200 years, with is complete nonsense and which is only slightly less weird than his claim that Presidents have wanted the giant outhouse he hopes to build for 100 years.

Greenland is presently taking care of a U.S sailor evacuated from a U.S. submarine. . . by a Danish Seahawk helicopter.
Trump is completely delusional. He should be removed.
Greenland doesn't need this, and moreover, Greenland's universal healthcare is something Americans lack. If anything, Denmark should send a hospital ship to us.
This is patently absurd. Frankly, at this point, anyone supporting Trump is not doing so out of faith in him, unless they're just willfully ignorant. So outside of that, why on Earth is anyone not demanding that he be removed?

This is the first installment of this since Trump ignored his advisers and launched a war against Iran that he thought might last a few days and bring him a big victory.
It isn't. It's wrecking the economy and there's no end in sight. He is, of course, having a complete fit:
Given this, the stress of his complete impotence here is going to get worse and worse, and probably with that, his behavior He's threatening not to directly take on the Press, which may finally cause the US press to grow a spine.
And things may be beginning to finally happen:
We are now in a very dangerous place in the globe. Trump is an immoral man, and he's demented. He's also getting desperate. At some point my guess is he'll start asking Hegseth about what nuclear weapons might do here. And he will commit, to some degree, U.S. ground forces.

In his madness and frustration over his massive, and frankly stupid, miscalculation over Iran's reaction to being attacked in an illegal war by the US, Donald Trump is now resorting to broadcasting his illegal intentions on social media. If Iran does not open the Straits of Hormuz, which its not going to, he's going to order US forces to illegally strike the electrical power structure of Iran.
