friday firesmith – the pedophile war continues

by

This week the whole of nations across the globe told Trump to go “Eff” himself. Newly elected, he tossed tariffs out at anyone and everyone he could, railing against the inequity of global trade. Canada and Mexico, our closest neighbors and long-time friends, were threatened and bullied as well as fellow NATO countries.

Trump proclaimed America was doing too much for too many and “America First” was tattooed on his forehead.

Things descended into Hell.

When the European countries began not only releasing the Epstein Files, but also punishing those in them, Trump began to sweat, and he also began waging war. His quickie invasion of Venezuela and the illegal and immoral kidnapping of the president of that country, puffed Trump up like a schoolyard bully. Nations would tremble at his name.

Trump spend a lot of time and tweets telling people Obama would attack Iran to cover for being a bad president. Then Trump turned around and attacked Iran, telling everyone who would listen and more than a few who didn’t want to hear the sound of his voice that Iran’s nuclear program had been completely destroyed and it would take years and years to rebuild.

But the Epstein Files began to build attention and Trump’s name was mentioned so often it seemed like Epstein might have been working for Trump.

So Trump attacked Iran again.

Trump was looking for another Venezuela. He got Nam in the sand. Iran attacked in all directions, sending missiles after anyone who wasn’t an enemy of their enemy. They stopped oil from leaving the Middle East and American gas prices spiked upward quickly.

The man who promised gas at two bucks a gallon could soon see a half gallon go for more than that.

And things were worsening by the moment. The aircraft carrier Gerald R Ford arrived without functioning toilets. A fire broke out in a laundry room destroying the bedding of hundreds of soldiers. The toilets are clogged with tee shirts and debris, fueling the rumor the sailors aboard the Ford are sabotaging the ship so they can go home.

Trump cried for help from allies to help make the waters in the Middle East safer for oil tankers and was met with stoney faced glares from the men and women he once threatened with tariffs.

Now, back home, with the midterms eight months away and counting, gas prices are still rising, our military is in a war no one knows how to end, and Trump cannot string together a coherent sentence.

The price of gas will get him even if the war he claimed Harris would start if she was elected, is somehow stopped. Crops are not being planted this spring because of fuel costs and they will not be harvested in the fall. Food prices and fuel prices at all time highs as winter closes in is going to hurt millions of Americans.

And the Epstein Files are not going away. It’s looking worse and worse for Trump and his wars are not distracting anyone.

Trump may tuck tail and run from his war in Iran, but if things get worse over there, he may have to hope his impeachment due to the Epstein Files distracts voters from the war he cannot extract himself from.

friday firesmith – the end of trump

Trump’s demand of “unconditional surrender” will bury him. The Iranians were negotiating in good faith up until the day Trump declared war. No one in Tehran thought it would come to war, because they agreed to stop enriching uranium, and agreed to oversight. Trump attacked them the next day.

What Trump doesn’t realize is that by blindsiding the Iranians he precludes the possibility of surrender. He’s eliminated any goodwill from allies in Europe. Trump has set the clocking ticking as to how long he can sit in the water and throw rocks at Iran while declaring the war being won.

Today is the 8th of March, 2026. In eight months the Republicans must have something to show for this war or they are going to take a beating in the midterm elections. Trump has already hinted the next war will be against Cuba, and he doesn’t have so much as a thin excuse to attack. But Trump knows if the public focuses on the Epstein files he’s going to spend some time, maybe a lot of time, in prison when the Republicans finally lose power in Congress.

None of this helps Trump in Iran.

Unlike any other opponent he might face, Iran is in it for the long haul. The Persians have fought wars for thousands of years and Trump isn’t the worst they’ve seen. He’s an American colonist as far as most Iranians are concerned and they rather die than surrender to him. At a minimum, at the very least, these are people who are not going to be bombed into submission.

The moment, the very second Trump orders ground troops into Iran, he’s screwed. He’ll have to crank up the draft in order to get enough bodies on the ground in the Middle East. The American people will fill the streets and the Republicans will face extinction.

Yet by declaring he will accept nothing but “unconditional surrender” Trump must also commit to total war. It is a war he cannot win, or even extract himself from. In the meantime, the United States is bleeding money out in billions. Israel, who has a leader who also must distract with a war, has to hope they can continue to bleed American taxpayers dry.

Yet this is some sort of end game for Trump unless he can pull off a coup. He’s already the most hated President ever. He’s already destroyed all credibility on the international level. He’s abandoned domestic policy for endless wars that will not force anyone to forget he raped children.

My deepest regret is he will likely defect to Russia, screwing America over one last time.

Whatever you’ve been told you’re going to get from the war with Iran, what you are actually getting is abundantly clear by this point. Gasoline prices have soared up to over three dollars a gallon and getting higher. Four bucks a gallon, or even more, is a given by the end of March.

At the end of March, we’ll see April roll around, then May, and finally Hurricane season in June.

Imagine a hurricane barreling down on New Orleans with gas already at four bucks a gallon.

With the Gulf of Mexico rigs out of production, even for a short while, we’re looking at gasoline prices somewhere around five bucks a gallon. If the war is still raging at that point, it might be considerably worse.

Higher gas prices during the spring means farmers, those who are left by this time, will pay much higher prices to plant, and to harvest, which means we’ll be paying even more for food by the middle of the summer.

By the teeth of hurricane season in September, we could be at the point farmers, those who could afford to plants, are unable to harvest. The states pounded by hurricanes could be looking at limited help from the government, and unable to pay for fuel to do search and rescue.

Hopefully, the Pedophile War, that war of distraction from a sitting president doing anything possible to distract from his crimes, will be over, but I doubt it. Trump knows he had to remain a moving target, creating one distraction after the next, regardless of what it costs the average American, or America herself.

Sadly, even if after midterm elections, even if Trump is impeached and removed from office, the forces that allowed something like this to happen are still in place. We still have a population of voters who believed everything Trump said and willingly followed him down his path of destruction and supported him at every turn.

We still have a government that doesn’t function well at all, and the two sides of the aisle in Washington are little more than bought and sold lackeys of corporate America.

We still lack the will to put a leash on campaign funds, or prosecute elected officials who are on someone else’s payroll other than the taxpayers.

House prices, food prices, fuel prices, medical care and transportation are all priced out of range for the average American, whose paychecks are getting smaller as government gets bigger, yet not better at all.

Trump is a cancer, that needs to be removed, and everyone paying attention knows this to be true. But the causes of this disease are still in place, and recurrence is 100% unless we change the way we run elections, and our schools.

The stench of Trump’s diapers might be gone when he goes, but we’ll be dealing with the same sh!t until we come together for real change.
