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.

The FBI thinks you are fucking stupid. Iran has zero capability to cross the Pacific and sea-launch a drone attack on California. This is too fucking dumb for me to comment on further.

Putin has lost Cotton? Shocking.

❗️❗️Senator Tom Cotton stated that any assistance from Russia or China to Iran would be "playing with fire."

He also stated that he could neither confirm nor deny reports of possible intelligence transfers to Iran, but "Soviet Russia did this throughout the Cold War. Putin's Russia is no different."

I honestly can’t decide what’s more humiliating:

that a billionaire is buying $145 shoes for top American officials,
that powerful men in the White House are apparently expected to wear them with gratitude,
or that this is now a news story about the leadership of the most powerful country on Earth.

In addition to easing sanctions on Russian oil, the Administration maintains its perfect record of screwing American friends and rewarding enemies.
