How Trump and His Advisers Miscalculated Iran’s Response to War

But they didn't miscalculated the most important thing, to control the news cycle, shut down Epstein, and offer red meat (literally) to the #MAGAMOB.

Trump EPA to Americans: Drop Dead Considering only the cost of environmental safeguards and ignoring their benefits will mean more deaths, particularly for people of color and low-income groups

After slashing federal jobs, Trump administration ramps up hiring The hiring push is unfolding under new rules designed to give the White House greater influence over the government’s 2 million-person civilian workforce.

As job numbers tank.

Homemade Bombs in ISIS-Inspired Attack Were Deadly, N.Y.P.D. Says

Question unanswered?
Why would a supporter of "Islamic State" want to harm Mandami?
Isn't it fascist right media convenient?
It only makes sense through a lense of stupidity or infiltration.
The US has a long history of the from Haymarket, to unions, the Panthers...

Chaos on Mamdani’s Doorstep: ‘We’ve Never Had Anything Like This Here’

How is it that the NYTs is incapable of creating anything but false equivalence?
How is the vile racist politics, forceful, enraging, and unending the same as the counter protesters?
"Who" threw the "incendiary device" that never blew up?
Racist villany. Provocation, and auto-justification

Country Joe McDonald, Woodstock star and anti-war singer, dies aged 84 Musician behind Vietnam war protest hit I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-To-Die Rag dead from Parkinson’s complications, his wife confirms

Country Joe McDonald:
"Come on all of you big strong men Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Iran
So put down your books and pick up a gun
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.

It's like a sports event. Talk the talk, sell the merch.

Two people in custody after 'suspicious devices' found outside NYC mayor's official residence The anti-Islam protest was led by right-wing influencer Jake Lang. It's not clear whether New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was in Gracie Mansion at the time.

Why do we call a vile opportunist racist pig fomenting hatred and violence a "right wing influencer" and not a "vile opportunist racist pig fomenting hatred and violence"?
When can we stop dignifying people who should be sanctioned.

‘Designed to Wreak Havoc’: The Cheap Drones Shaping the War With Iran

Cheap drones:
Bombardments that once required salvos of expensive missiles can now be carried out for the cost of a car lot full of Honda Accords.
$35k each and 5 or 10 car lots a day just think how much we save being at war.
The more you bomb the more you save.

Europe Didn’t Want War With Iran. But So Far, It Can’t Stay Out of It.

Walking into world war three.
We are now assisting at the end game of Trump's desire to slap his name on everything.
The lesson he learned from Hitler is how assure you place in history.
It couple's nicely with any publicity is good publicity.

Is the Dickens character in there too? How long has this been goin' on.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

If WWI was best described as sleepwalking into the horrific.conflict.
WWIII might be described as bullshiting our way to Armageddon.
WWI ended the Euro Empires.
WWII left the US in control of financial (imperial) capitalism.
WWIII will end the 2500yrs of Western brutal ambition.

10 years of Trump and the #MAGAMOB, the culture of vulgarity, misogyny, rage foment, lies, corruption, it will take a generation to resolve.
A huge shift in government, media, and education are necessary.

Iran war pushes oil price above $90, threatening rise in global inflation Reports Kuwait was cutting output pushed up cost of barrel of Brent crude to highest weekly gain since Covid pandemic began

Just follow the money.
We bomb taxpayer foot the bill.
We bomb, oil price skyrocket. But the cost of US oil production does not change
Why don't the oil companies foot the bill?
We bomb, arms makers profit. We foot the bill.
We bomb soldiers die. They foot the bill as macho men posture and pose.

‘You unbelievable coward’: conservative US media in open warfare over Iran Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin are all trading blows over US involvement – while Sean Hannity says he’s staying out of it

In their endless hunger for attention (that's how they make money out of hate and rage) they are beginning to eat themselves.
As the economy goes down the tube and the administration hides behind a war of political convenience, the rats begin to jump ship

Birds of a feather...
Or the switch metaphor
When pigs fly jackasses speak.

When did the baseball cap become a symbol of American stupidity?

We talk forever of security and threats to security. We spend $1tr a year for "defense" (and more for offense). But China controls the mining and refining of key minerals without which our military and economy would be on its knees in a matter of a yr or 2.
Poor governing. We are not secure at all.

I certainly don't know for certain. And 12 yrs of Jesuit schooling left me a faith that there is much I cannot understand.
I believe faith moves, can move, deep energy that we cannot fathom.
But not an all seeing God interested in what humans do in some rational way we might understand.
Blessings.

Should you take a supplement for heart health? Here’s what the science says. A lot of supplements claim to help your heart. But the list of those that actually may be beneficial is short, experts say.

Gift article
Why is it that everyone of this type of article offered by the Medical industry debunks supplements (often hedging with "more study needs...") but invariably don't tell us who pays for the studies.
Why do I find it so hard to trust them? Money doesn't talk it picks you pocket both ways.

The Almightly don't care what we do.

What it also means is that these fools think they are fighting a rave-religious war with Islam. Locked mindlessly in the movie Crusades mindset.

Clearly a woman with serious psycho-sexual issues.
I am a "people" I sleep peacefully in my bed when I know that lawmakers and law"men" respect and obey the law, my rights, and thosenof my neighbors and everyone else.
And it didn't remind you of a quote, some staffer did.

Republicans Toil to Avoid Saying ‘War’ as Iran Conflict Widens

It's not war dammit. This is a pin point "targeted" intervention including 2000 different pin points and 10,000 bombs and missiles.
Its and "operation" peace and democracy in Iran. It's a "mission" to help young girls get to heaven fast.

Certainly "Underneath the circumstances."
Is that a back hand about her boyfriend and blanket, or does he just not understand the english language?

Live Updates: Trump Says He Should Have Role in Picking Iran’s Leader

Right. After killing 179 little girls, sinking a ship in international waters, blowing up Khamenei and his family, and bombing 2000+ targets for little more than macho diversion from a sagging approval rating and calls to release the specific Epstein/Trump files, Iran should call Don for advice.

Amen.

“There’s no white genocide and there is no grabbing of land, of white people’s land...And white farmers are not being driven out of the country and badly treated."
"he is looking at South Africa through a...foggy lens, without realizing the real harm apartheid did...he was just dismissive.”

A $220m project, a $143m no bid contracts, to produce ads like "Thank You Trump" justified under "national ermergency."
Noem's friends incorporated Safe Media Company 11dys before signing.
They produced a commercial featuring Noem on horseback at Mount Rushmore.
A national emergency? You bet.
