9/ CRISIS FOUR: Trump has no endgame. Iran and its proxies can create chaos indefinitely.
So what’s next? A ground invasion?This would be Armageddon. Thousands of dead Americans.
Declare false victory? Then the new Iranian hardliners in charge just rebuild what we destroyed.
8/ Other potential flash points lurk. So far, the Houthis in Yemen have been relatively quiet. Probably not for long. They can project power into the Red Sea.
For Syria, this is the worst time for Trump to strike Iran. Syria could explode again.
7/ CRISIS THREE: A broader, regional war is breaking out as Iranian proxies in Lebanon hit Israel and those in Iraq target the U.S.. Israel is now threatening a massive ground invasion of Lebanon, which could become its own new crisis.
6/ If Trump paid any attention to the Ukraine War he would have noticed how warfare has changed. But he didn’t. And he blundered.
Worse, the Gulf states are running out of interceptors to stop Iranian missiles and drones - meaning that soon more oil sites will be vulnerable.
5/ CRISIS TWO: We can destroy Iran’s missiles but not all their drones, and war today is drone war.
Iran can hit oil sites in the region indefinitely because they posses so many cheap, weaponized drones.
And they are. They blew up a critical Oman oil depot two days ago.
4/ What about naval escorts for tankers? This is a possibility, but it’s harder than you think.
First, it would require our entire navy. 100 tankers need escorting each day.
Second, if we can’t destroy the mines and drones, our ships are at risk too.
3/ Right now, Trump has no plan to reopen the Strait. And a plan may not exist.
The assets Iran uses to harass and attack tankers - thousands of small drones, speed boats and mines - cannot be eliminated. They are too numerous, too spread out and hidden.
2/ CRISIS ONE: Trump believed Iran would not close the Strait of Hormuz. He was wrong. And now oil prices are spiking.
If the Strait stays closed, a global recession will result. It actually may already be too late. Gas prices are the first to spike, but food prices are next.

His whole life, Trump has always had someone else around to bail him out of the messes he creates: his father, Allen Weisselberg, the "adults in the room" in his first term. Now all those protectors are gone and he is openly begging for someone to save him from his own folly.
I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran).
The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.
The DOJ released documents on 3/6 revealing the FBI interviewed a woman who alleged she was sexually abused by Trump, Epstein, & others when she was just 13-years old.
THEY KNEW IT! Every perpetrator, every enabler & all who covered up the truth need consequences.
Wow. There really is no bottom.

US once again involved in hostilities in Iraq...despite repealing both of the Iraq war authorizations at the end of 2025.
Leak the Epstein Files already. End this global nightmare. Save lives. Enact actual justice for survivors and victims.
One of the many many problems with this is all your directors and deputy directors would start leaving and looking for other jobs and there'd be no one to implement policies.
The war will be over when I feel it in my bone spurs.

Correction notice from the New York Times reads: “A correction was made on March 13, 2026: An earlier version of this article described incorrectly John F. Kennedy Jr.’s religious affiliation. Mr. Kennedy was a Roman Catholic, not a “WASP” (an epithet used to refer to white Anglo-Saxon Protestants).”
This is one of the funniest corrections I’ve ever read
NEW: Judge orders board member Rep Joyce Beatty (D-OH) must be permitted to attend Kennedy Center board meeting on Monday.
Beatty has opposed Trump plan to shutter and gut the facility
If Donald Trump thinks you’ve crossed him, he will come after you. He doesn’t care about the American people. He only cares about his own ego.
The Iran war has already cost the U.S. more than $11.3 billion in just the first six days (basically the opening week), according to Pentagon estimates shared with Congress in a closed-door briefing.
Can the mayor get a restraining order against Michael Powell of the Atlantic? Because this is starting to feel like an unhealthy obsession
We need to:
✅ overturn Citizens United
✅ ban Congressional stock trading
✅ get dark money out of politics
To get corporate influence out of our politics and return it to the people.

He is begging like a dog, one might say.
This war and Trump’s alienation of our allies may go down as among the greatest foreign policy failures of any presidency in history.
@gtconway.bsky.social making campaign videos with Clyde Conway, Pawlicy Director, who can sniff out nonsense faster than MAGA can say “witch hunt.”
Well, what do you expect as a woke leftist hippie scholar working at (checks bio) the American Enterprise Institute and serving as (looks again) the Kissinger Chair at the Library of Congress?
Existence of Mamdani in the media criticism discourse is so useful because it demonstrates what the media could be doing to Trump if they ACTUALLY thought that he was an aberrant threat to our Republic. Not that you need to do this for Trump but: You can just write negative stories based on nothing!
Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.
