We will be OUTSIDE this week on the balcony; it should be mid-70s F and any mild rain should be done earlier. Just ask a server where Drinking Liberally is if you don't spot us.

As most or all have learned by now, Trump has basically threatened genocide against Iran, saying that the US will destroy the entire civilization, wiping out power generation, bridges, desalination plants, and decimating the nation and its 90 million people. This seems like the blatant threat of a clear war crime. It is one thing to hit military targets, but attacking the infrastructure on which civilians rely for their existence is morally wrong and is a violation of the Geneva Conventions. The U.S. Department of Defense prohibits war crimes, and violations of the laws of war are subject to prosecution under the War Crimes Act of 1996 and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

I hope that cooler heads prevail and we do see the threatened horrible devastation inflicted on the people of Iran.

Meanwhile, There are still millions of Trump-Epstein files to be released. Let us not be "lulled" into forgetfulness of the Trump-Epstein files by the various other issues that rightfully compete for our attention: rising prices, employment struggles, Iran war, ICE activities, insider trading, and so much more.

Please note that several "regulars" show up most weeks, and therefore do not RSVP. Don't worry if you are new and only see a few RSVPs if you look at Meetup :) Anyone is welcome (as long as they are civil), and we talk about pretty much ANYthing -- some of which is political and plenty that is just life in general :)
