Coming up on 3 AM out here in East Texas. Very pleasant night talking to George Noory on Coast-to-Coast (some additional show note links are in the next post).
Back to bed and sleeping in – which I’ve only been able to do once in a long while. Need to get up and pop the turkey in by 11 AM in order to have dinner about 4 PM.
News on the Overnight
War news out of Ukraine remains very uneven. For one, the Sanctions on Russia could leave the European Union (NATO) very cold this winter as New sanctions package will ban 45 Russian tankers from entering EU ports. So almost 50 tankers could be banned. Another Biden “ready, fire, aim?” action?
Meanwhile, Biden keeps sending war materiel into the fray: Ukraine urged to lower conscription age to 18; US to send Kyiv more weapons.
Whether Russia will hold back to give Trump time to ascend to the oval is in question: Trump names retired general Keith Kellogg as envoy for Ukraine and Russia
And the back-stabbing by the War Party goes on: Trump administration picks targeted with bomb threats and swatting.
But all the news on warfare is bad – a few glimmers of hope. Will Ceasefire Deal To End Israel-Hezbollah War Achieve Lasting Peace For Lebanon? We may get some sense of scale on relations as ‘Global escalation’: Unnerving plans revealed to ruin everyone’s Thanksgiving and Black Friday.
And out in the WestPac comes word that Foxconn is coming to Texas: Foxconn pays NT$1 billion for land in Texas. That’s about 33-million for land in Harris county. Which – if you don’t know the lay of the land here, puts it down around Houston somewhere.
And here’s a nice one to hear about: A Walmart employee was called into work on her day off. She left a millionaire. Stories like this always begin sounding hopeful. But they lose a bit of luster when the taxes are taken out. Still, beats not winning, no doubt.
OK – back with more later…
Write when you…er…something or other…
