This Is The End

This is the end, the Schloss-Blog notes, beautiful friend, this is the end,, my only friend, the end,

The Doors nailed it, didn't they. 

Meant to signify "...an epic, stream-of-consciousness, exploration of death, the loss of innocence, and the subconscious," the song aptly sums up where the United States is, where Donald Trump is, in his incessant reciting that the Iran War is almost over, virtually over, close to being over.

But it's not. It's supposed to be over today, but is it?

Hello Election Day, 2026, and Republicans running to hold Congress will find out if sticking with Trump or parting with him on this war, this slush fund and/or the ballroom will be rewarded by the voting public or whether they'll be sacked and will yield control of Congress to the do-nothing Democrats..

As an aside, as of June 9th, per CNN, Trump has claimed, 38 times, that the war with Iran is over and an agreement has been reached that will have Iran yield its weaponry, its support for terrorist proxies, its enriched uranium and will reopen the Strait.

THIRTY-EIGHT times. Has obviously added a couple since then. Blames those "tricky, dishonest" Iranians when it doesn't happen.

Iran is denying this and appears it will never surrender outright, as seen in its shooting down of a U.S. military helicopter, without any overt retaliation from Trump and the United States, because Trump WANTS OUT OF THE WAR and can't find a way to get there while he maintains his blockade of the Strait and Israel maintains its war with Hezbollah.

He keeps insisting on what will be a complete surrender from Iran, and it ain't gonna' happen.

Democrats, Trump and the Republicans have handed you gold for campaign material. What are you doing with it? Here's the rundown:

Trump "loves the inflation" that is crippling so many American households.

Trump "doesn't think about Americans financial situations," as they live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to pay for gas, groceries, medications, healthcare, et. al.

Trump said, campaigned on, "Prices will come down." How's that working out? Inflation hit 4.2% last month, its highest mark in years.

Trump blames Biden for everything. Everything. But Trump's been president - again - for almost a year-and-a-half. He owns this. He knows it. The American people know it.

Elon Musk is a trillionaire. A freakin' trillionaire. 

Won't be watching the freakin' UFC cage matches at the White House. Disgraceful.

I'd be remiss if I didn't say how proud we are of our daughter and how lucky we are to have such great friends and relatives who repeatedly told us of the faith they have in her.

With that, good night Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, Erin.

More Sunday night on my Radio Free Phoenix rock 'n' roll show. Maybe the war will be over by then. Yeah, right.
