Morning Mika & Joe made a pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago this weekend. They went from calling him Hitler (and a hundred other names) to let's be friends in less than a week! Pathetic desperation, LOL...

I wonder if Rocketman Kim thought through what happens when these troops spend however long in Russia (with internet access) then come home to North Korea? That's got to be a big societal shift incoming. Wars are invariably transformative.

On the doorstep of Winter...
Speak of the North! A Lonely Moor by Charlotte Brontë
Speak of the North! A lonely moor
Silent and dark and tractless swells,
The waves of some wild streamlet pour
Hurriedly through its ferny dells.
Profoundly still the twilight air,
Lifeless the landscape; so we deem
Till like a phantom gliding near
A stag bends down to drink the stream.
And far away a mountain zone,
A cold, white waste of snow-drifts lies,
And one star, large and soft and lone,
Silently lights the unclouded skies.
