Not A Mystery

 That Donald Trump might fall asleep in Cabinet meetings is nor hard to explain.  It appears he is a poor sleeper, spending much of the night and early morning hours composing long rants on his Truth Social platform.  Here is one of the many stories on the subject:

------------------ 

Trump Fires Off More than 160 Posts in Late-Night Truth Social Spree, Covering Everything from Christmas to Michelle Obama

Trump stopped posting by midnight, then reemerged early in the morning to declare, "TRUTH SOCIAL IS THE BEST!" ... (People)

----------------- 

Muddy as it is,  the ideological orientation of the rants still has some residual appeal to the MAGA base.  For the broader public the consequences of a President with the character of a truculent child is clearly becoming more alarming by the day.

Trump's inattention to the actual process of governing leaves the running of the Country in the hands of misfits who cycle through the Cabinet, leaving chaos in their wake.  The question that looms now is 

Can the Country get to 2028 without a disaster of unrecoverable proportions?

 How many homeless in the U.S. as of 6/1/26?

An estimated 745,652 people are experiencing homelessness in the U.S. on a given night. This figure is from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) annual Point-in-Time count.\\

What has been the cost of the iran war so far? (As of 6/1/26)

Long-Term Projections: Economists warn that the long-term tab—which must eventually factor in veterans' medical care, replacing depleted munitions, and macroeconomic drags on GDP and inflation—could ultimately range from $630 billion to $1 trillion.

Divide $1 trillion by 745,652 (number of homeless on any given night)

(US$ 1 trillion) / 745 652 = 1.34110818 million US$

******************

Clearly, making millionaires of every homeless American would solve the housing problem, but it could probably be resolved at a lesser cost per person with some left over.  Going forward, it would be a good idea to not become mired in pointless wars.

Spanish Broom

 The Spanish Broom flamenco group performs often in Old Town and elsewhere in Albuquerque.  The graceful dancers, guitarists and cantaoras frequently practice their classic style in informal settings at no charge.  One of the nicest benefits of living in Albuquerque.
