Happy (Kaboom) Holidays

In the immortal words of Douglas MacArthur, "That's the best thing to do with them".

So, Christmas Day the God Emperor of the Cherry Blossom Throne blows up half of Nigeria in defense of Nigerian Christians (~43%). On New Year's, he blows up half of Venezuela and puts the arm on Maduro.

Can't wait for Epiphany. And then there's Valentine's Day - hearts in the air and all. Madri Grass. St Paddy's Day. Passover (parting of the seas, anyone?).

PS The Demos Inconguous are, of course, all bent out of shape because Trump didn't consult with them (War Powers Act or some other nonsense). The bad guys didn't see us coming and we had no casualties.

Coinkydink?

ADDENDUM: I mentioned Epihany and was floating past Insty where the big topic of Absolute Resolve was sharing the spotlight with what's going on in Iran.

Any takers?

There's a lot going on, that's for sure. Major shifts, or maybe a changing game board? With X as the place where much of information is in regard to these changes is being revealed and disseminated.

The picture that first came to mind was of the changing staircases in Harry Potter world, only there definitely seems to be more of a serious Kaboom element involved in the latest world-shifting news.

From AI: The moving staircases at Hogwarts are a magical and iconic feature, described in the books as having 142 shifting stairs (some rickety, some vanishing) that change paths to challenge students and add to the castle's mystic, though they became much more visually dynamic and central in the films, adding cinematic wonder by physically rotating and connecting different areas, making Hogwarts a truly unpredictable and alive place.

Predictable, Unpredictable, Transformational??? Who knows? Definitely more on edge and alive! The Year of the Horse. Saddle up and get ready for a ride. One if by land and two if by sea.

I see Glenn Reynolds asking the question "Five Dimentional Chess? Or is it six?"
