Markwayne Mullin: * Highest undergrad degree: Associate in Construction Technology * Only US Senator without a bachelor's degree *No law degree * No law enforcement background. * No national security experience * No security, intelligence, or emergency MGT skills
Markwayne Mullin is the kind of DEI hire conservatives have been warning us all about:
Remember billionaires are so excited about AI because it promises to finally replace white collar workers

βEllis, a registered nurse who is Haitian-American, said she is outraged and called for an investigation into Damas' death, which she said came weeks after the man first complained of tooth pain to Florence staff.
'Nobody should die from a toothache,β Ellis said. 'Something has to be done.ββ
Meme showing a quote from Congressman Ted Lieu criticizing the State Department for telling Americans to leave a dangerous situation using commercial flights even though airports and airspace were closed. He says the government should immediately arrange evacuation flights and should have had a plan.
Marco Rubio put Americans at risk and then abandoned them. He must be held accountable.

So when the idiots on the right (or left) suggest that the Theocracy in Iran is somehow an obvious terrible thing that is just evil - remember it exists because the United States intentionally created a power vacuum, installed a corrupt crony puppet, and expected the people to just comply.
The Shah was so despised that in 1979 the Iranian people, left, right, and center were willing to put anyone else in, and the Iranian Revolution was born out of antipathy for a corrupt, soulless Western Puppet government:

The CIA sent Major General Norman Schwarzkopf Sr. (Stormin' Norman's dad) to persuade the exiled Shah to return to rule Iran. Schwarzkopf trained the security forces that would become known as SAVAK to secure the shah's hold on power.
"As a condition for restoring the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, in 1954 the US required removal of the AIOC's monopoly; five American petroleum companies, Royal Dutch Shell, and the Compagnie FranΓ§aise des PΓ©troles, were to draw Iran's petroleum after the successful coup d'Γ©tatβOperation Ajax."
In 1953, the US with the support of the UK launched operation Ajax to overthrow the democratically elected leader of Iran, in large part to protect British Petroleum from losing their interests in the Oil after Mosaddegh moved to nationalize oil production:

When Trump selected a rabid, racist, drunken Chihuahua for Secretary of Defense, this was the sound bite we were all waiting for.
Gravity might feel stable and constant wherever we go, but its strength actually varies over the Earth's surface. Where the gravity is weaker, the ocean's surface can actually dip well below the average as water rushes towards regions with higher gravity. When astronauts on the International Space Station look down on Earth, it might look like a smooth blue marble. However, in reality, our planet is shaped a bit more like a 'bumpy potato'. This lumpy surface is due to areas of nonβuniform gravity, caused by the uneven distribution of material beneath the surface. In regions where hot rock from within the Earth's mantle rises towards the surface, the lower density of rock means that gravity is weaker. Since the 1940s, scientists have known that these gravitational anomalies cause deep depressions across large areas of the ocean. By looking at how earthquakes travelled through different densities of rock, Dr Forte and his coβauthor constructed a map of the planet's inner workings. Using a computer model, they then worked out where the gravity would be stronger and weaker based on the different types of rock. Once their predictions matched the best current data from gravityβsensing satellites, they wound back the clock and watched as the gravity hole formed over aeons. They discovered that the gravity formed slowly at first, before gaining strength in a period known as the Eocene Epoch β beginning 50 million years ago. Interestingly, this coincided with enormous changes in Antarctica's climate, including the rapid advance of the continent's ice sheets. Although it is not yet proven, the researchers suspect that there could be a connection between the formation of the gravity hole and the formation of Antarctica's glaciers. Dr Forte says: 'If we can better understand how Earth's interior shapes gravity and sea levels, we gain insight into factors that may matter for the growth and stability of large ice sheets.'

You cannot keep screaming βwhy arenβt Democrats impeaching him?β when Republicans control the House.
Impeachment starts in the House. The majority party decides what gets brought to a vote. Right now, thatβs Republicans.
Be mad at the Republicans who are too scared to do their jobs.
'How did you not think about this?' Trump admin under fire over Iran evacuation.
We shouldnβt be shocked but this is impossibly irresponsible- so typical.

"Pentagon officials acknowledge Iran was not planning to strike US
Now, Iranβs political future remains unclear, as Trump conceded that individuals he had considered as potential new leaders are dead
The Pentagon is worried about depleting military stockpiles"

The Pentagon confirmed there was NO sign that Iran was going to attack the U.S.
No imminent threat.
No authorization from Congress.
No reason our service members should be dead.
And no exit plan or strategy.
This war on Iran is a reckless and deadly mistake by this regime.
