Trump started a war with Iran. Oil prices exploded. Now YOU pay more for gas, groceries, flights & heat.

He called it “a small price to pay.”

Easy when you don’t pay your own bills.

It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.

Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) — on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground:

“We have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”

Just a thought, maybe SecDef shouldn’t jerk himself off on live television at the thought of casualties in war.

War isn’t something to be giddy about. Were the most powerful nation on the planet. We’re supposed to be the quiet professionals, not carnival barking morons.

Trump is giving Russia a pass to sell sanctioned oil, helping fund its war against Ukraine, because his own war of choice has driven oil prices higher.

Meanwhile, Russia is assisting Iran in targeting American troops.

Absolutely shameful.

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

How X’s algorithm shifts political attitudes Algorithms curate what users of social media see, raising concerns that they may distort attitudes and affect social and political outcomes. This column reports on an experiment conducted on X in the US in 2023, in which users were randomly assigned to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed significantly shifted political opinions in a pro-Republican direction, while switching the algorithm off had no comparable effect. This asymmetry arose because the algorithm affected which accounts users chose to follow, leaving a lasting imprint on their information environment even after algorithmic curation was removed.

This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.

Numerous recruits report being unpaid, stripped of passports, and abused while trapped on the front lines.

Iraq veteran Jason Crow: One moment it’s regime change, the next an unverifiable imminent threat. Then it’s someone else about to start the war, so we must start it first. The story changes by the hour and by the person. It’s madness—our troops deserve far better.

Trump Letter to Congress Justifying Iran Strikes Outlines No Imminent Threat

Trump’s own letter to Congress blows up his central claim: there was NO imminent threat from Iran. Instead, he says the strikes were meant to “neutralize” Iran and cripple its military and nuclear ambitions. That’s not self-defense — it’s a war of choice. Now Congress has to decide
