Dear God, even though the Straight of Hormuz is 20 some miles wide, the shipping lanes are only 3 miles wide. bsky.app/profile/sanh...

Trump screwed himself incredibly hard this time and the world will pay the price.

His father was far right uber-Catholic L. Brent Bozell Jr., who was part of The National Review's debut with Bill Buckley -- who is Brent Bozell III's uncle. Making him ambassador to South Africa was an obscene Trump troll job. Bozell was an outspoken apartheid defender in the 1980s.

“The former official said he doesn't think Trump is playing ‘the sort of three-dimensional chess people ascribe to decisions like this. More often than not he's just eating the pieces.’"

The last time there was a threat like this against the west coast an entire ethnic group was put into concentration camps.

“Retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland, 68, left his Albuquerque home on foot at approximately 11 a.m. February 27 and has not been in contact with family or friends since, the sheriff’s office said in a news release. His cell phone was left behind, the sheriff’s office told CNN.”

Watch this BBC interview if you want to understand how badly Trump screwed up and why Iran still holds a lot of cards.

Not surprising given that we’re nearly two weeks into the war and nobody in the administration can give a clear rationale for the war or say what the exit strategy is.

That would do it!

We can’t even rebuild Puerto Rico’s energy grid, but if Trump topples or weakens the govt, there won’t be any way to stop the tsunami of migration to Florida. There’s no way they can rebuild Cuban infrastructure fast enough to make people want to stay. He’s creating a huge disaster for himself.

This could be Venezuela before too long if Trump continues with his plans to steal their oil. Never forget how vulnerable and flammable oil infrastructure can be.

It’s in the next skeet.

Carlos Saladrigas: rebuilding Cuba will cost between 6 billion and 10 billion dollars and will take at least 7 years Carlos Saladrigas proposes a three-phase reconstruction plan for Cuba, with an initial investment of $6 billion to $10 billion. The first phase aims to stabilize the economy and basic services, while ...

"Cuban-American businessman Carlos Saladrigas gave a detailed roadmap for the reconstruction of Cuba: the process will take at least 7 years and will require an initial investment of between $6-10 billion just in its 1st phase."

They can't forestall a mass migration crisis in time. #PotteryBarnRule

He comes from a profoundly creepy family.

South Africa summons new US ambassador over criticism as rift deepens South Africa says the new U.S. ambassador has been summoned to explain his criticism of the country’s policies.

“In his 1st detailed public comments on US-South Africa ties since arriving, Brent Bozell III said South Africa should change some of its affirmative action laws that were designed to redress the inequalities of South Africa’s decades of racial segregation under apartheid.”
Outrageous interference!

Fuel, fertilizer cost increase due to war is 'double whammy' for Minnesota farmers President of the Minnesota Farm Bureau Dan Glessing talked to MPR News host Nina Moini about the impact of the war in the Middle East on the state’s farmers.

Not only is Trump’s stupidity going to drive up already high food prices around the world, but yields will also shrink because of the lack of fertilizer. This is what happens when you fire government experts and sideline anyone who raises tough questions. The only voice that matters is the Mad King.

Not unexpected given the amount of contempt they expressed toward Ukraine.

TIL elephants can kiss.💋

FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: Alert The warning came in a bulletin that was reviewed by ABC News.

I’m beginning to suspect they didn’t think this war through. So many shipping containers at sea. Which ones contain a surprise?🙄

“FBI warned police departments in California in recent days that Iran could retaliate for American attacks by launching drones at the West Coast.”

She’s (a) running against Ilhan, and (b)probably counting on people not figuring out that she was an ICE prosecutor before signing up to imprison people at DOJ. Her candidacy comes with a free laugh track.

The (Bit)coin operated presidency:

I guess landlords are bigger donors than renters.

Like the infamous Roman emperor, Rubio also started out as a “normal conservative Republican” and turned into a full blown murderous tyrant after succumbing to Trump fever.

Remember these words as he engineers a humanitarian disaster the scale of which nobody in this hemisphere has seen in living memory.

I am reminded of this old Irish prayer — which has been answered in the funniest way possible.😈

“May those who love us,
Love us.
And those who do not love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May He turn their ankles,
So we'll know them by their limping.“

Planners can’t plan when the Mad King has to think he’s always the smartest person in every room and nobody dares to contradict him.

NOBODY - even those here "without papers" - should receive the kind of treatment that #WesleyPowers - an American citizen - did.

Noem may now be gone, but the cruelty and brutalizing remain.
