Trump might win the Nobel Peace Prize when he passes. Because there will be a WAVE of peace when that happens.

That's SURE to help the GOP next month. From Substack:
From user Mike Nellis: Trump's on stage in Tennessee talking about how ugly he thinks Kamala Harris is, in case you're wondering how that Republican affordability message is coming along.

Part thirty-four of "Project 2025 Read by Douglas Wayne Ricketts" is now online! This is an extremely dry portion, a lot of calls for changes to the U.S. Department of Energy with no real reasons as to why. They do give Biden credit for doing one thing right in their eyes, that's a surprise!

A president who rants about not getting the Nobel Peace Prize while he’s in a war of choosing with Iran is not a serious person.

Man, I just learned a bartender in Anchorage barely older than me who I liked is dead. He was my bud, we’d have shots after closing time and he’d let me watch security kick out the riff raff. Goodbye, Charles.

How does buying diesel from Russia (a country telling Iran how to kill U.S. servicemembers) in any way, shape, or form make us the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Douglas Wayne Ricketts @douglasricketts.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
Trump is buying diesel from Russia (which is advising Iran on how to kill our soldiers in Iran) in order to deal with a lack of diesel caused by Trump’s war of choice with Iran and I’m sorry, HOW is this the land of the free and the home of the brave?!

Douglas Wayne Ricketts @douglasricketts.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
Pete Hegseth says he has a “mentality of winning” which makes sense because he’s an idiot who is losing his war of choice with Iran and who clearly needs to delude himself at every turn.

Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump want to livestream the execution a man who will then be viewed as a martyr by radical groups around the world. They’re NOT working for U.S. interests, they’re clearly fans of the Taliban and Al Quaeda.

... Strong little things! I have to use a magazine card to pick them up because they grab so tightly onto the floor or rug when touched that I’m afraid I’m going to squish them if I pull too hard. I should add, they only started showing up last summer and only come in when it's over 80.

Anyone know what kind of beetle this little booger is? Slightly bigger than a ladybug. Unfortunately, this one is dead. They sneak in one at a time under a tiny space in our deck screen, occasionally fly and WHACK into the grow light for our plants, and die in a day if I don’t escort them out...

ICE was an over-reaction to 9/11 and the agency as it was created would not have caught a single attacker from that day since they (the terrorists) were all in the U.S. legally at the time. We need to abolish ICE, free their kidnapping victims, and prosecute the criminals within their ranks.

College is a fuckfest. I had more experiences with the ladies during those semesters than I'd ever had in my teenage life up to that point. But you know what I didn't do? Rape. Something is wrong with a lot of young men in this world. I blame their fathers for not teaching them to be better.

I have watched all of the “Evil Dead” movies and have to say the new one (“Evil Dead Burn”) is by far the most sickening. It’s a geek show! NONE of the charm from the second or third movies, none of the humor from the third or the series “Ash vs Evil Dead.” ...
