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

And LONG interview with Anne Applebaum

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.
