The Iran ‘Deal That Must Not Be Named’
June 21, 2023 10:00 AM BY HUGH FITZGERALD
The bad, no, terrible, deal — no, sorry, terrible “understanding” – that the Bidenites are about to conclude with Iran is now clear. It is so bad that the Bidenites don’t want it to be reviewed by the Senate, where even Democrats, such as the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Robert Menendez, and Richard Blumenthal, have expressed great reservations. The Bidenites think that by sleight of word, calling this agreement a mere “understanding” rather than an “agreement,” Joe Biden won’t have to submit it to the Senate for its approval.

Zelenskyy never saw an American dime he didn’t love. If he felt the same about Ukrainian citizens, the war would have been over a year ago.

There is a turtle moving across the back porch. I first saw him two days ago, in the middle of the porch, being harassed by the dogs. Yet, he is still here. Every now and then he moves about, and THE DOGS GO WILD!!! Over a turtle…

Of course the cats are too sophisticated to be involved.

Good day, czarina! Turtles are symbols of good luck. Perhaps he wants to be your property mascot and your dogs sense that, thus the harassment. Get him some earthworms or slugs. He’ll be a happy camper and fulfill his quest.

Mornin’ All. 40* and sunny here, with just a slight breeze. It is beautiful outside.
Going to pick up groceries at Walmart later this morning. That is the highlight of the day. I am also trying to reach someone at the Mountain Bus to make a reservation for next Wed to go to the eye doctor. I don’t know why I can’t get ahold of them. I’m gonna try again today. And, I guess I will have to look for someone else.
Have a nice day, wherever you are.

Good morning, aus! We’re at 68 degrees right now, heading to 75, and sunny. My neck of the woods also has a problem with virtually no public transportation. Relying on taxis is too nerve-racking. I’ve had to wait hours for them to show up.
If Washington state didn’t have such a crazed lefty government, I’d move to Spokane. I really liked visiting there. Their bus system is extensive and only costs $4.00 for an all-day pass.

I don’t know that they have what you might call “public transportation”, exactly. The bus I was calling will come and pick me up at my door and take me where I want to go. I finally got ahold of them. It is really great, but I don’t know why I couldn’t reach them and they didn’t call me back after I left a message. It might have been that the phone system was down or something I guess.

If you are interested, this is the 1958 movie about the Titanic: A Night To Remember.

Story line (from IMDB):
A successful attempt at an even-handed portrayal of the White Star Line’s (later part of Cunard) luxury liner R.M.S. Titanic’s sinking from the standpoint of Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller, himself the most senior of the ill-fated ship’s Deck Officers to survive the disaster (Lightoller later went on to distinguish himself as a line British Naval Officer during the First World War and served as a Senior Naval Staff Officer on convoys during World War II. Between wars, he owned and operated a successful family business producing pleasure craft). His own survival of the sinking, along with several others, is shown atop one of the liner’s two “collapsible” lifeboats which were capsized in floating off the liner as it sank. The picture depicts then known facts (1958) as reported after the sinking–such as the woeful lack of adequate lifeboats, the ship’s band playing true to the very end, White Star’s co-owner Bruce Ismay’s somewhat less-than-chivalrous departure from the sinking vessel, and the Titanic’s designer’s (Thomas Andrews) revelation that due to the severity of below-the-water-line damage and that the vaunted watertight compartments were not designed to nor sealed up to the weather deck, would only delay the inevitable as sea water spilled over the top of one to the next from the bows to the stern. It also addresses the mysterious ship seen from the Titanic’s bridge stopped some 12-19 miles off and depicts it as being the S.S. Californian, whom – if that steamship had responded, the loss of life could have been far, far less. The Californian is seen stopped due to the ice warnings, the same alerts whose import were undervalued by Captain Edward J. Smith. She herself had shut-down wireless operations, nominally at 11:00pm as her sole operator retired for the evening, this before the iceberg was struck and the first distress calls were made by Titanic. It also addresses somewhat the coal fire in one of Titanic’s bunkers – apparently not uncommon back in those days, before her departure into the Atlantic and potential for damage to steel plates below the water line (This picture predates the calling-into-question of the quality of rivets [metalurgy] which has since come to the fore). The film also shows the class distinction and its impact as to whom – of the “women and children first”, got a seat in a boat; the fact that the first/earliest lifeboats launched were not at full capacity; and that the boats launched from the port and starboard side held to different criteria as to loading. The latter allows the viewer an inference as to the importance for crew and passenger alike as to lifeboat drills which were then (1912) neither required nor ever held aboard Titanic. One of several movies on the subject, it stands well the test-of-time for its “just the facts” approach in the telling and avoidance of conjecture or added melodrama.
