Like a trillion dollar defense budget is a GOOD THING????


Pete Hegseth sits for a live interview… it ends in DISASTER

An Audit? REALLY? Promises, promises



RantWoman needs to acknowledge a number of "new media" creators who do an even more incendiary job of ranting than RantWoman does.


And a related "Wait, WHAT?" moment

The Bad Friends part of this post. RantWoman has NO interest in acquiring a rocket launcher, but does find the thought experiment helpful in blowing off steam.

Some the war is hitting Russia hard vids

These items do not make it into the mainstream media channels RantWoman most often sloshes around in. They are posted FYI

Let's talk about Trump, truce, the Red Sea, and reality....

RantWoman consistently finds "Belle of the Ranch" an insightful commentator about foreign policy.

This item is about the President's commentary about simply "declaring victory" over the Houthis in Yemen.





As an aside, recently a commenter referred to Belle as "Barnyard Barbie." RantWoman would definitely wear a T-shirt that says "I get my news from Barnyard Barbie."

Happy big 6-0 to Little Sister: Yet another celebration grabbed by #COVID

 RantWoman thought of assembling a collection of loving and piquant memories of life with Little Sister dating from even before she actually appeared on the scene, but that may or may not happen but hopefully before the RantFamily gathers to celebrate.


See, plan was, the RantFamily was going to gather the day of, until...ding, ding, ding, Irrepressible Nephew and Girlfriend came home from several hours in a car with Girlfriend having a raging fever and then a positive COVID test. Even if Nephew is testing negative, NO ONE needs #COVID at a birthday party. RantWoman would have just erred on the side of caution but encouraged little sister to reach out to King County Public health resources to confirm.

Wishing Girlfriend speedy recovery and Irrepressible Nephew continuing negative status.



The biggest message: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! It's been a great road together, MOSTLY.


RantWoman remembers the day Little Sister came home from the hospital. Only like two hairy older siblings, she had almost now hair and certainly no eyebrows. This was in the hoary mists of Last Century when babies got sent home wrapped in blankets but without the car seat many hospitals insist must accompany new parents.

Oh Montana, Montana. Hath thou gone completely #MAGA? Apparently NOT!

Oh Montana, Montana, Montana. 


Land of my birth and toddlerhood. Land of my high school. Land of many visits to and fro.


Am I supposed to be deeply amused that even with a #GOP supermajority in the MT lege, this self-proclaimed "RINO hunter" feels the need to try to keep up with #MAGA elsewhere?


Skip past the gentleman from the MT GOP. RantWoman is collecting some links for further reflection and offers a number of items from Montana Free Press (MTFP)

When is bragging about everything, the got done while Republicans had the super majority in both chambers, that is the measure of failure. Why are the democrats bragging about what they got done on education? I am assuming that is because voted down the School Choice bill with parental rights built in and voted for a teacher's union bill. This is what motivates me, the failures of the . Yep, I said it. I refuse to allow our state reps make the same mistakes next session. If our proud dem lawmaker is boasting, you failed. Period. And if you are critical of my moves against RINOs, buckle up. The has explaining to do. Why doesn't the #Montana lawmakers explain to why we failed at getting his agenda through? #MTPol #MTNews #MTSen #MTLeg

Montana's 69th legislature has adjourned, and I'm back home in Missoula. Dems got some good wins this session—on education, taxes, & more. We also stopped many horrible bills. Not enough, but from the minority we were mighty. Now to get some rest before the next big fights.
