Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."

No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

Adrian Weckler: Cyber attack on Cork-based Stryker shows Ireland is in the line of fire from Iran’s hackers This week’s Iranian-backed cyber attack on one of Ireland’s largest US multinationals, the Cork-based medical technology firm Stryker, is a reminder that the war isn’t just happening 5,000km away.

The Iran war landed in Ireland, with a hacking attack on Cork-based medical tech multinational Stryker.

With Iran indicating that it may target US multinationals, and Ireland to take up EU presidency, more facilities here may be in the line of fire.

From the archives: Jimmy Carter's "Moral Equivalent of War" speech
From the archives: Jimmy Carter's "Moral Equivalent of War" speech YouTube video by CBS News

1973 OPEC cut oil production triggering inflation. 1979 Iran revolution boosts oil prices.

Jimmy Carter began moving away from oil to renewables. (Solar panels on WH roof). Oil money helps start the Conservative Movement propaganda. Reagan took those panels down.

Two things here.

One, you don't sit there and whine about media coverage and headlines if things are going well.

Two, the administration is just outright saying that they fully expect Ellison to use CNN to be a Trumpist propaganda organ.

This is the start of the MAGA Nuremberg tribunals.

We will put Nathan Cavanaugh on trial for breaking the law, and we will put him in prison for a long time. It’s the only way to prevent this from happening again and restore rule of law.

The Strait of Hormuz crisis is not just about oil.

30% of the world’s fertilizer moves through that chokepoint and prices are already up 77%. Tankers are burning, allies want help, and China and India are cutting their own deals.

I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

So @josephcox.bsky.social watched over six hours of this deposition featuring DOGE staffer Justin Fox who, when asked how he defined β€œDEI” kept saying he needed to refer to the EO.

Our founding fathers didn't just fight the British government. They fought the East India Company, a massive corporation with a monopoly on trade. The Boston Tea Party wasn't about tea. It was about economic tyranny.

LANDERS: It wasn't though

TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know?

LANDERS: Your own AG said it

US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, according to a watchdog report

I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...
