Cheating is the only way the GOP can win.
"I don't have any concern about it," he said, when asked about the higher prices at the pump. "They'll drop very rapidly when this is over, and if they rise, they rise, but this is far more important than having gasoline prices go up a little bit."

If this doesn’t scare Republicans & Democrats into decisive action to stop the Trump regime, I don’t think anything will. Listen to the former Chief of Staff for Gen. Colin Powell assess the Israeli-US War on Iran. There’s a lot we aren’t hearing & it’s terrifying!

I pinned this on BS when I joined in 2024, then last week I managed to unpin it. Just found it again & will continue to post it. I hope people who check out my profile will repost it also. It’s why I am here. I couldn’t believe my eyes or ears when I saw it live. Never forget!
Putin's goal achieved. Ditto Xi & MBS, MBZ, Netanyahu & his right wing cronies & other so called friends.

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.
But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?
They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.
3/ Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.
2/ Maybe the lead is that the war goals DO NOT involve destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program. This is, uh...surprising...since Trump says over and over this is a key goal.
But then of course we already know air strikes can't wipe out their nuclear material.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
We have always been at war with Iran.
Helluva way to run a war, as the NYT reports. But the article doesn’t go far enough. WHY are his aides terrified of telling Trump the truth? Because the commander-in-chief is not OK in the head, that’s why. These reporters should say it instead of covering it up. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...
hiring Weiss to run the company has distracted from the foreign backing...which will have influence
Here's @oliverdarcy.bsky.social with a point I should have given more thought to.
David Ellison keeps saying that the “editorial independence” of CBS News must be “maintained." Sounds good, right? But think about it. If you really wanted an independent newsroom would you choose a newbie to run it?
but do they have the power & backing to do this?
this should have long been apparent...
this right here
we need this wake up call
let's hope we still have some leaders in place who can wake p & rise to this occasion
either adapt or retire & make room for 21st century leaders
we need this to happen in our judiciary, or legislature & elsewhere in gov't & corporate america
We are replaying a version of the first use of long guns in battle in the 13th century (thanks, China). It appears whatever is taught at West Point & Army War College isn’t as relevant as it should be.
Could it be the low profit margin on drones compared to that of missiles & bombs is the reason?

More from Bloomberg, on how difficult it’d be to clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz

“The first 100 hours of the war may have used hundreds of Tomahawk missiles, which can fly more than 1,000 miles and hit targets just a few meters wide…
“Fewer than 100 Tomahawks are produced per year.”
www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
Ukranian officials “have been astonished at Gulf states deploying PAC-3s (Patriots) to bring down low-cost drones”
The US has burned through over 1,000 Patriot interceptors ($4 million each) to stop an onslaught of Iranian drones ($20k to $50k each).
Using my last gift link from Bloomberg, which is doing some of the best reporting anywhere on the war.

pay attention b/c Putin has done this here, too, and will do it again
sometimes it's easier to see it in another country & then you will recognize it here
