For those of us who haven't "a clown in the center ring" or do not want to pay for those who want to see their favorite clowns, it daily amuses how "sis boom, rah-rah" is so crucial.

Sorry there buddy, but the American taxpayer has been placed foursquare into the center ring, and whether you realize that or not, your wallet and perhaps your safety is involved and jeopardized by the "clowns" more deeply every day.

Thanks. I am that aware. Which is why I say stop spending money on a national debtors' credit card for a "not my circus and not my clowns." non-NATO war.

That stance does not make me pro-Z or pro-P and most assuredly not pro-Biden, pro-Blinken and pro-Nuland. Nor pro-The Institute for the Study of War Profiteering. As my tagline says, it's time to "degrow government."

Actually past time.
