Thanks to Trump's war of choice in the Persian Gulf and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Putin is raking in an extra $150 million A DAY to fund his war in Ukraine. Over the next few weeks, Putin will rake in at least $10 billion.
Does anyone think Putin will help Iran to keep the Strait closed?
The way I laughed at this.

The Iran war is showing that renewable energy is a national security imperative, and that fighting renewables tooth and nail as the White House has been doing since day one deeply undermines national security, as @ryanlcooper.com writes.

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.
They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!
Honestly hard to know which second of the 30 or so after he returns that I would pick as “the absolute weirdest second I’ve seen of a Trump official (aside from Trump) on camera,” but at least five of these seconds are in the top 10.

Tommy Lee Jones is doing his first TV work in 15-ish years, and first continuing series in forever, in “The Lowdown” season 2. To which I say, hell yeah bring it.

Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.
Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.

“.. When past presidents balked at the possibility of war with Iran, they weren’t just dodging a hard choice; they were deterred by all of the obvious reasons a conflict could perilously spiral. Nobody should be shocked that the expected is now coming to pass.”

This is what happens when you give a sadist pompous drunk an unlimited expense account with no accountability. SCOTUS, maybe you should start reeling these fuckwads in. And how about Congress FIRE Kegsbreath and put him in jail.

THE GREAT SANTINI (1979) airs tonight at 10pm ET on TCM — part of a night of films celebrating Robert Duvall (1931-2026).
It’s not on any free or subscription streaming service, so don’t miss it.
