U.S.S. Lincoln Deployed Too Long? Private Bone Spurs: "No. Not nearly long enough." Families are worried!: "No, they're not."
USMLE Today
My daughter-in-law da doctah, and da muddah of my first grandgirl, beat da field today. Ana got 60% of the 20 questions right and her colleagues got 55% (ooh little peepy medical students). And wouldn't you know it? The ONE time I absolutely, positively knew an answer to a question was the very FIRST question of the day and Ana got it WRONG. I wanted to signal her...but I can't do that. I was so discouraged I thought she was going to bomb the whole tranche. She did NOT. As for me, 35% right answers. We had a Harvey-Wallbanger equilibrium question. Got it wrong.

This is Abdul's best video to me.
I can't say I always wanted to be able to dance because it's just an impossibility. I would make a fool of myself. My review would be as Dr. Johnson's was to Boswell of the dancing 3-legged dog, "It's not that it's done well but that it's done at all."My joints freeze I'm so self-conscious, I have social anxiety and I sweat. But I really admire my betters like AOC and Abdul, intellectual and professional stars who can also shake with the stars. As a stereotype, I just don't consider those of us of English ancestry, good cooks or good with coordinated body movements synced to music. I accept my lot but DAMN I wish, among a myriad of attributes that I do not possess, that i could be a polymath like these two star young people. I admire an elite educated physician who can move like that.

USS Abraham Lincoln sailors tried to jump overboard amid extended deployment – reports
Aircraft carrier’s crew in ninth month at sea and has spent record 250 days consecutively without making land
Military families and Congress members are sounding the alarm about an intensifying mental health crisis onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, as its 5,000 sailors and marines endure a record-breaking deployment at sea tied to the war with Iran.
Two leading specialist military papers, the Navy Times and Stars and Stripes, are reporting that there have been multiple attempts by sailors to jump overboard as poor conditions and mental stresses on the Lincoln reach the breaking point. The crew is in its ninth month at sea, and has spent 250 days consecutively without making land – a record for an aircraft carrier in modern times.
Worried families vented their anxieties about loved ones onboard the Lincoln at an emotional town hall meeting with navy leaders in San Diego last Thursday, Stars and Stripes reported. One spouse among the 200 or so family members said that her husband had texted her that day saying “he hopes he doesn’t wake up tomorrow”.
...
The Navy Times gave details of thwarted suicide attempts onboard the aircraft carrier during the current deployment. Annabelle Loma told the outlet that her husband had tried to jump overboard after his spell at sea kept being extended.
...
The paper quoted another sailor’s wife whose husband was involved in a separate incident onboard the Lincoln in which he prevented a fellow crew member from jumping, grabbing them and bringing them back on deck.
Mike Levin, a Democratic member of Congress from California, has sounded the alarm over conditions onboard the warship, which is in its fifth month of combat operations against Iran. He described the lot of the crew on X as “moldy showers, broken toilets, laundry down for weeks, long stretches with no hot water, a meal that came down to half a cup of rice and two tortillas. No soap, deodorant, or toothpaste.”

In fiery meeting, military families confront acting Navy secretary over conditions on the USS Lincoln
Family members of sailors and Marines challenged Navy leaders on Thursday night over their concerns about mental health, supply shortages and water contamination aboard the aircraft carrier on a record deployment in the Iran war.
...
One woman questioned the mission and said she found it difficult to be proud of her sailor when she believed the military was “killing innocent civilians” and her sailor expressed guilt about what he was doing. Her comment was met with applause from the audience.

Damn lazy bones family. I and Dr. Ana, and my friend and you are the only people in the world who know! Everybody in the family is still💤! Damn lazy bones.
I dreamt of her all night, had two-three dreams. Dreamt that Ana told me her name was going to be Lauren Love. Woke up from that dream utterly convinced that was the name. After another wake up, "Did Ana tell me that?"

AIPAC: American Israeli Propaganda and Cash
As of 2025 AIPAC reports more than 5 million members in the U.S.,[19][20] 17 regional offices, and "a vast pool of donors".AIPAC was founded in 1954 by Isaiah L. Kenen, a lobbyist for the Israeli government,[21][16] partly to counter international criticism of Israel's Qibya massacre of Palestinian villagers that year. |
|
|__The Qibya massacre occurred during Operation Shoshana, an Israeli reprisal operation that occurred in October 1953, when IDF's Unit 101 led by future Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon attacked the village of Qibya in the West Bank, which was then under Jordanian control, and killed more than 69 Palestinian civilians, two-thirds of whom were women and children.[1][2][3]
Forty-five houses, a school, and a mosque were destroyed.[4] Ariel Sharon wrote in his diary that "Qibya was to be an example for everyone," and that he ordered "maximal killing and damage to property". Post-operational reports speak of breaking into houses and clearing them with grenades and shooting.[5]
...
The massacre was condemned by the U.S. State Department, the UN Security Council, and by Jewish communities worldwide.[7] The State Department described the raid as "shocking" and used the occasion to confirm publicly that economic aid to Israel had been suspended previously, for other non-compliance regarding the 1949 Armistice Agreements.
###
...reporting has found that AIPAC's political spending has often supported efforts against candidates—mostly Democrats—considered "insufficiently supportive" of Israel. In the lead-up to the 2024 elections, The Guardian reported that AIPAC had recruited and supported challengers to candidates who had been critical of Israel's actions in the Gaza war.[16] AIPAC has also been criticized as unrepresentative of the diversity of views among American Jews who support Israel, and for aligning closely with policies of right-wing Israeli governments.[17][18]
AIPAC was founded by an American agent of Israel to counter criticism of an Israeli "reprisal" massacre. It has supported Israeli terrorism since. It is a Fifth Column except that it is not secret; it funds terrorism, but cannot be formally labeled a terrorist organization because it is not considered to be foreign. It may not be a domestic terrorism organization, but if it met the criteria, no federal statute makes "domestic terrorism" a crime.
There have to be legal mechanisms, e.g. law suits as against the NRA, that can shut down AIPAC.

This is my day so far. I wake up and the most beautiful creature I ever saw writhes in excitement and scrambles out of her cat bed to run and greet me.
In a few minutes I will call my perfect daughter-in-law and will begin study with her an hour later.

🎵I know that painting; I know that painting🎵
Why does everything feel so joyless? Welcome to the age of decadence without pleasure Guardian
The Garden of Earthly Delights, 1490-1510, Hieronymus Bosch.
Hemingway saw the painting in the Prado and his decadent mind was enraptured. The experience led directly to his decadent (and best) (unfinished) novel The Garden of Eden.
Among the bites of the forbidden fruit in Bosch's fantasies are several that strongly imply interracial sex. I've snipped several that I saw in brief examination:
That was the 15th-16th century, practically modern compared to 79 AD. That was the year that Mount Vesuvius erupted and destroyed the ancient city of Pompeii. Destroyed and preserved evidence of the life that the ancient Pompeiians lived. Yet, there too.
There are a lot of depictions of explicit interracial sex--during a time when I would have expected none. I am not a historian and may be making assumptions regarding travel capabilities that are not warranted. But I am not making assumptions about the sexual practices of ancient Pompeiians. My eyes do not deceive me.
When Eleven is in heat, there are several complications caused me.
- One, I have to wear my heavy Eleven body armor shirt against her claws.
- Two, I am made uneasy by the proximity of Eleven's razor-sharp hind claws to my carotid artery and button the heavy shirt at the neck to guard against puncture and Charlie Kirk Syndrome.
- Three, a cat's normal body temperature is 100.4-102.5.
- Fo', it is mid-August in Miami.
- Five, I sweat blinking my eyes.
- Six, Eleven in heat perched on my shoulders is deleterious to my performance on USMLE (30% Friday!).

The Toilet Nation was built on the backs of African slaves. The greatest slave trader was James DeWolf of Bristol, Rhode Island. DeWolf became a U.S. senator. When he died he was the second-richest man in America. A nation cannot outrun that legacy. Neither can a family. The DeWolf's have their own cemetery in Bristol. James DeWolf's burial mound has been vandalized so many times that there is now a heavy steel plate at the entrance. I went to the cemetery on a visit to see my daughter some years ago. I took this photo of the headstone of another DeWolf slaver descendant.

Eleven can look so strange. In the last photo, malevolent, bat-like, her eyes so strange, two different colors, and up there next to the gaping mouth of the shower head like a bat gargoyle. In the photo before, the question-mark tail that she has always had.
I think I can explain the bat-gargoyle photo. I tried to get her with the lights out but the phone said turn on flash so I did, but I then turned the bathroom lights on and snapped the photo. I'm not positive but I don't think I turned the flash off. I'm pretty sure that's the camera flash off the shower head. Maybe the flash caused her right eye to appear yellow? Her eyes are green. Maybe her left eye is picking up some of the green in the towel causing her eye to look more green? Idk, but lordy, lordy, that is still a strange photo.
In the previous photo I don't think the question-mark tail has ever been that prominent. And I just didn't happen to catch the tail in one photo, I took five or six others in rapid succession. She just woke up and is stretching, she's not arching her back in anger.
Eleven is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. I mean that, and lord knows I have posted dozens, maybe hundreds of photos where she looks as angelic as she is live. ...But not those. Those are two strange, chilling photos.
