Thoughts Out Of Season

My life is one with so many twist and turns, deprivations; filled with anxiety; a life where just making it to sundown with a little food in the house and the ability to flip a light switch and watch the bulb light up are enough to leave a sense of relief. I: Work as a hack for a bunch of crooks who praise God in the morning, fornicate with Harlot in the afternoon and play poker with the Devil at night. Through their smiles and slaps on the back they treat me like a mutt with mange, and rob me too! I have an ex who gets enough money a week to fund an Hammas jihad, a woman who I can readily foresee squatting over my grave and relieving herself on my coffin while the 4-5 other mourners watch. My family and friends think I'm a drug addict because of my past requests for a few dollars to help me feed my kids.Drug addict? LMFAO! I wish I was a drug addict so some of this ever present pain and ill feelings might be soothed at times with a nice case of delirium. I have 4 kids who will p...

Reports that Turkeu PM has stated that Cout in Turkey "has been foiled, Awaiting fuerther information

Follow the link to watch tracer bullets rain down on protesters in Turkey by a military gunship (coup still in its infancy. Cannot vouch for veracity of this story)

Courtesy indianexpress.com Hundreds of thousands of people have turned out to protest against military;s coup in Turkey. Success of coup seems doubtful at this time

An attempted coup by segments of Turkey's military have begun a coup attempt that has thrown the country of Turkey into chaos. It appears the moderately  secular country was being led further and further to the Right and segments of the military again said "Enough is Enough" This is a situation still in its early stages. More to come

Imagine, refugees leaving a Muslim country to try their luck in a land so broke that its people thank God oxygen is free? T urkish police today rounded up hundreds of Syrian and other refugees as they tried to embark on a journey to Greece. I found this incredible at first but after thinking about it a while I'm starting to understand it. These refugees are not leaving their native Muslim countries because of war and strife. They are leaving because, to tell it bluntly not even Muslims want to live in Muslim countries. Why else would these people want to leave Turkey for a country that their patron saint, Angela Merkel left so poverty stricken that its people consider an invasion of locusts a boom for the country's food supply? All I can say is this whole Middle East thing gets more complicated by the day and there appears no end in site.

Why would Turkish officials shoot down a Russian fighter plane that wandered into its airspace for a grand total of 17 seconds? Could it just be a case of schizophrenia coupled with hubris? Someone trying to put a scare into Putin (LMFAO!)? A suicide pact between high ranking Turkey officials? Most laughable, Turkey's membership in NATO where "an attack on one is an attack on all" including the United States led by a president who still fears monsters in his closet? We'll never know but one thing is sure Turkey screwed itself big time . How?: * Turkey is Russia's 2nd largest trading partner. *Russian tourists visit Turkey to the tune of 2.9 million a year spending over $3 billion. *Turkey gets 50% of its natural gas and 30% of its oil from Russia. *Turkey exports billions of dollars in agriculture and other food products to Russia each year. * Souring relations could cause Turkey to suffer a 10% or more drop in GDP if Russia got really pissed at them and...
