Of course the administration would be downplaying the outcome. It doesn’t support their war fighting narrative.

Trump says the decision to bomb Iran came after advice from Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff and Whiskey Pete Hegseth.

Because there were a tremendous amount of outlandish statements about what Γ  Harris presidency would do all while ignoring what a Trump presidency would actually be like (based on previous). It was disingenuous and dangerous. And look where it got the U.S. .

Yesterday Trump said the war was almost over. Hegseth bragged about the largest attacks ever. This morning three tankers are burning in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump’s strategy is a failure of Epstein proportions.

I believe that one has to very mindful of how one frames one’s comments. They were sloppy.

Trump is now blaming Hegseth, Jared, Witkoff, and Rubio for his decision to attack Iran.

While I agree that Carney should be criticized for some of his comments regarding this illegal war, Jarrah’s comment sounds like the β€œKamala will send us to war” pre-election comment. Neither factual nor balanced. And that to, should be critiqued.

Smith is following Trump's playbook and cutting funding to the historical society.

She wants to erase history.

However,

Alberta is bound by multiple treaties with First Nations.

She cannot erase that.

She's a separatist and a TRAITOR.

She's a problem.

"My son, who is a software engineer, just told me that people who know software just had their Elon Musk realization":

Quoting post by Rod Hilton on mastodon:

"He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about electric cars, so when people said he was a genius I figurdd he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockers, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets."

‼️ How the oil market is changing due the war in Iran:who benefits&who pays.My thoughts.

◾️ The global oil market is currently in turmoil, not because the world has suddenly run out of oil. The problem is different: it has become much harder, more expensive, and more dangerous to transport it.

Pam Bondi reportedly moved to military base due to threats over Epstein files Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, former Homeland Security Director Kristi Noem, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth all live in housing on secured military bases

Well, understandable. Pretty much everyone wants to spit in her face.

A lovely mossy boulder with a face. I walked past this venerable stone gentleman on Dartmoor when I was beginning to write my first novel, Villager, and it whispered all 104,000 words of the book to me. So now I have to pay it all of my royalties. Unfortunately my ex-publisher stopped paying me royalties last year. Understandable, the boulder was not happy. But now I have a new publisher and the book is being republished this Thursday. So remember if you purchase a copy you will be helping a boulder to eat, pay the rent on his riverside moss garden, and feed his boulder family.

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.

β€˜Happy (and safe) shooting!’: chatbots helped researchers plot deadly attacks Users posing as would-be school shooters find AI tools offer detailed advice on how to perpetrate violence Popular AI chatbots helped researchers plot violent attacks including bombing synagogues and assassinating politicians, with one telling a user posing as a would-be school shooter: β€œHappy (and safe) shooting!” Tests of 10 chatbots carried out in the US and Ireland found that, on average, they enabled violence three-quarters of the time, and discouraged it in just 12% of cases. Some chatbots, however, including Anthropic’s Claude and Snapchat’s My AI, persistently refused to help would-be attackers. Continue reading...

The inept Trump administration is on a spending spree with our tax dollars.

Mr Trump is blowing thru $3B a day for an unpopular WAR and Hegseth spent $93B in 2025 on furniture, steaks, and fruit alone.

And they want more‼️
