Yes, Crenshaw, the TX GOP Congressman who never met a lie or a war he didn’t like (the latter of which he loves to make others fund), has been “primaried out”. But will he be replaced by a less toxic, closer-to-the-constitution GOP-er? https://youtube.com/shorts/h2cPh1QmHsA?si=3HSgpceXjyhkydIB

The majority of U.S. Senate members again have trashed their oaths to their delightful fraud of the Constitution, voting 53-47 to reject a resolution that would have halted Trump’s unilateral military aggression against Iran. By voting AGAINST a “war Powers Resolution” (which is not what is necessary, according to the Constitution, but pulls away from what is specified, a Declaration of War), a majority of senators chose to permit Trump to persist in his unilateral military aggression against Iran (just one of the many places he is killing people or working with others to commit mass murder)—a direct violation of the Constitution.

…On their level (which, itself, is a claim of power over people who are supposed to be free and to be able to retain their Natural Rights), Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution grants Congress alone the power to declare war. No president may lawfully initiate or sustain offensive military hostilities without that explicit declaration. Yet Trump, acting as Commander-in-Chief, has launched and escalated attacks on a sovereign nation in concert with Israeli forces, bypassing Congress entirely.
And this vote reveals the depth of the rot: 52 senators (now clarified as 53 in final tally) stood against restraint, while 47—mostly Democrats plus one principled Republican—sought to enforce their slim, dim echo of “constitutional limits.”
Even had the measure passed both chambers, Trump almost certainly would have vetoed it, underscoring how the modern state apparatus enables, rather than checks, such aggression. The US carpet-bombs, wiping out families, small children…
And the true American death toll far exceeds the official figure of six service members killed in the early days of Operation Epic Fury. Credible sources suggest that US casualties may reach into the hundreds, with the administration allegedly suppressing numbers to quell public dissent and opposition.
Meanwhile, U.S. and Israeli strikes have inflicted widespread civilian harm and destruction—acts that fit the definition of war crimes under international law, including indiscriminate bombing and targeting of non-military infrastructure.
This is the predictable fruit of abandoning morality, respect for individual liberty and even constitutional fidelity: a president wages war without consent, Congress rubber-stamps it through inaction, and ordinary Americans—denied their right to remain unmolested by the state’s coercive machinery—bear the human and moral cost. The Senate’s “no” to peace is a resounding “yes” to endless executive war, eroding the very foundations of a free society.

-Shortly before the Senate voted, this man protested in a Senate meeting. Tax-paid guards attacked him, trying to drag him out, and his left wrist got stuck behind one of the open doors, caught between the door and the left frame. Then, as the guards tugged, MT GOP Sen Tim Sheehy grabbed him, shifting him hard, breaking his arm. LINK

Headline “The cost of Trump’s Iran war: $5 billion and counting | Responsible Statecraft” LINK

**THE OIL IMPACT, from Kobeissi Letter: “The cost of shipping crude oil from the US to Asia is skyrocketing: It now costs over $29 million to hire a supertanker to take 2 million barrels of crude from the US Gulf Coast to China, the highest on record. Shipping rates have DOUBLED in just two weeks. This means shipping alone costs ~$14.50 per barrel, or a record ~20% of the oil price at current WTI levels of ~$75. The cost of a supertanker as a percentage of the WTI crude oil price has quadrupled since August, when it was ~5%. This comes as the ongoing war in the Middle East has effectively shut down traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, forcing Asian buyers to turn to US barrels. Many supertanker bookings to load crude from the US Gulf Coast have already been canceled over the last 24 hours as costs become unsustainable. Oil supply chains are under historic stress.”

US ECONOMY - TARIFF TERRORISM

Insane. Bessent says, get ready for even higher tariffs. LINK

The “Kids Online Protection Act” proposal clearly is an unconstitutional strongarming of online providers to get them to censor and conform to what the feds desire or do not like. It is a rewording of the pernicious part of Section 230 of the 1996 Telecom Act that gives the feds the power to revoke immunity from state prosecution or interstate-laid defamation suits if the feds find that the ISP or website owner did not “curate” the content in “good faith” as defined by — the feds…. LINK

• Ari Cohn, a First Amendment lawyer at FIRE, critiques a KIDS Act provision in the attached bill text excerpt, arguing it imposes an unconstitutional “duty of care” by requiring platforms to enforce “reasonable” policies against harms to minors, effectively attacking all kinds of speech — anything the govt wants to define at “unreasonable.”

• The post is part of a live thread on a March 5, 2026, House Energy and Commerce Committee markup of the KIDS Act, an omnibus bill bundling measures like the revised KOSA to curb algorithmic amplification of addictive or harmful content for children.

• Cohn contrasts this with Supreme Court precedents barring government mandates on speech distributors to prevent emotional harms, noting risks of FTC gangsterism in defining “reasonable” measures, while acknowledging bipartisan privacy concerns from figures like Rep. Ocasio-Cortez.

BREAKING: The US now is dropping 2,000 lb bombs on Tehran’s civilian population. The city is home to 9 million people. Ben Swann has a valuable post on it, via X LINK
-Meanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson utterly dismisses the US Constitution, first, claiming that the US is “not at war”, which indicates that the murderous aggression of the US in Iran (just one facet of worldwide US mass murder, extortion, theft, assassination, occupation, and other criminality) is on his RADAR, but he allows it to go on, unconstitutionally, embracing a fantasy that the President can lead military operations as “Commander-in-Chief” when there is no Declaration of War. Check the US Constitution, you will see that this is an utterly false proposition.

-The TAB, CONSTANTLY RUNNING: This X Post links to a site that records the estimated costs of US operations in Iran, every second. LINK
-More, on the politicians taking and burning your money - in this case, on military bases overseas that have been hit by Iran’s retaliatory strikes. LINK
-And Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) seems oblivious to the fact that his “Iran has been an imminent threat for 47 years” narrative is bald-facedly self-defeating and exposes the absurd malleability of the idea of politicians defining for YOU what is a threat, while they point government guns at you to make you pay for the fake “protection” they so kindly, magnanimously, offer… LINK Here is Tom Woods on Tom Cotton. LINK
-President Trump has announced that the U.S. Navy stands ready to escort merchant vessels through the Strait of Hormuz “if necessary.” Necessary? Only because the US has engaged in an immoral and unconstitutional attack on the population of Iran, and the Iranian government is responding by shutting down the Strait. The US government has infested the region with nearly 90 bases, and, in a free world, no polis would be forcing taxpayers to fund this gangland system. That vital artery should be a region — as all regions should be — of voluntary commerce.
AND! Trump has ordered the U.S. Development Finance Corporation—a creature of the illegal, unconstitutional federal apparatus—to extend political-risk insurance and loan guarantees to any shipping firm willing to brave the Gulf. Every penny of that coverage, of course, will be extracted from the American taxpayer. When the state promises to indemnify private firms for losses caused by war or political upheaval, it is not offering protection; it is forcing peaceful citizens to subsidize the very dangers its own policies have created. What rational shipowner would accept such terms? Why sail under the guns of the same power that is bombing Iranian targets? And why place American sailors in the crosshairs of a nation that has declared, with unmistakable clarity, that “closed means closed” and stands prepared to defend its position by force?The deeper question is why President Trump would deliberately expose those sailors to mortal risk in the first place. He insists the United States must “ensure the free flow of energy to the world.” That is not a statement of capability; it is a declaration of imperial intent. Yet no clause in the Constitution grants any president the authority to hurl the military into foreign conflict without a formal declaration of war by Congress. To do so is not policy; it is criminal usurpation.
Mr. Trump also brushed aside reports that American arsenals could be depleted within weeks. On the contrary, he boasted, “we can do this forever.” The only obstacle, he claimed, was the mountain of weapons shipped to “P.T. Barnum (Zelenskyy!)” in Ukraine—an aid spigot he has refused to shut off for over a year. The contradiction speaks for itself. Meanwhile, the White House scrambled to contradict Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s earlier admission that Israel intended to strike Iran first and the U.S. simply had to tag along. When pressed, President Trump reversed the script: he, and he alone, probably had forced Israel’s hand, he claimed. The ego and schizophrenia on display are breathtaking.
The rest of us retain a simpler principle. Individuals possess the natural right to trade with one another in peace, across borders and oceans, without interference from any state. No president, no navy, no taxpayer-funded insurance scheme can substitute for that right.
-Then, we have Mike Johnson, and his multiple-lie-filled pie as he obscures the Constitution, lies re Iran, and more in his “our aggression is DEFENSIVE” claptrap.

-Douglas MacGregor joined Judge Napolitano today to discuss the “Strike IRAN FIRST, “DEFENSIVELY” Canard, and more.

They also touched the energy crisis that some nations will face, and to discuss more. The Europeans, Japan, South Korea, and the US/Canada will be slammed. Worst off will be the Europeans.

** I have been in touch with contacts in DC, and friends, formerly involved with US intel, note that the US and European intelligence-action goons are prepared to sabotage new Russian-Chinese pipelines shortly after they come online, using “ISIS” cover or “Ukraine” cover to shift blame.
* Additionally, if, as numerous news outlets are reporting, the Mossad and CIA are trying to organize Kurds in Iraq and Syria to invade Iran, those people will be sitting ducks, and it indicates that the US cannot sustain and succeed with air forces alone. MacGregor touched on that, as well, at the 15 minute mark of the above video. Here is ANTIWAR on it. Headline: “Trump Considers Backing Kurdish Militants Against Iranian Government - News From Antiwar.com” LINK
-Senator Blumenthal (D-CT) worries that Trump will commit US Troops. LINK

War - to Spain, Trade… Trump wants to slam Spain, because the Spanish govt didn’t allow US air forces to use Spanish space when attacking Iran. Scott Lincicome, a trade policy expert at the Cato Institute, shares a Politico article quoting EU Vice President Teresa Ribera’s claim that the US cannot sever trade ties with Spain individually, as EU negotiations occur bloc-wide.

• The dispute stems from Spain blocking US access to shared military bases for a potential Iran strike, prompting Trump’s retaliatory threat and reviving his pattern of using trade as leverage in foreign policy.

• Ribera urges EU solidarity to counter Trump’s “bully tone,” drawing parallels to past tariff warnings against the UK, France, and Germany, which could escalate transatlantic economic tensions if unaddressed.

France folded on that matter. LINK

-The CA Assembly just passed an invasive and impossible-to-enforce “Age Verification” mandate on internet users.

Here is a quick thumbnail overview: LINK Site JDSupra did a good analysis of it last fall. LINK
-And ReclaimTheNet has an interesting story on a lawsuit against Zionista Randy Fine, a suit that might inspire one to ponder what kind of “tragedy of the commons” is introduced by a Congressman operating an “official” X account, but banning comments from a civilian whose tax money (whether he is a constituent or not) goes to paying the government’s massive bills. Can the Congressman block the man from commenting? If the man is forced to pay for the Congressman’s office, and the Congressman’s staff operates an official X account, why can’t the civilian demand that he be heard via the online channel that his tax money is taken to fund and support?

The latest from IRAN:

-Remember, in order to excuse naked aggression, Rubio claimed, “We moved PROACTIVELY, in a DEFENSIVE WAY.” - Get it? Yeah, he’s an aggressive criminal. Daniel McAdams and Ron Paul noticed that many other fatuous human-balloons, including Speaker Johnson, said similar things... LINK
-Tucker Carlson added valuable thoughts on the US-Israeli crimes LINK
-In the aftermath of the first killings of hundreds of innocent children, adults, and the murder of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and many in his family, the functional Iranian government operates smoothly, under the Iranian Constitution’s formula for defense. Ayatollah Alireza Arafi, president of Islamic Seminaries of Iran, has been appointed to the Interim Leadership Council (or Temporary Leadership Council), a three-member body that currently serves as the de facto collective head of state in Iran. It was established on March 1. The council temporarily assumes the duties and powers of the Supreme Leader until the Assembly of Experts (an 88-member clerical body) selects and appoints a permanent successor. The arrangement is in Article 111 of Iran’s Constitution, which outlines procedures for a vacancy in the Supreme Leadership to ensure continuity of governance. Here is the current three-man panel:

• Masoud Pezeshkian — The current President of Iran (generally viewed as a moderate or reformist-leaning figure).

• Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje’i — The Chief Justice (head of the judiciary), known for hardline conservative positions.

• Ayatollah Alireza Arafi — Senior cleric, jurist from the Guardian Council (and reportedly its selected representative for this role), often described as a radical or firebrand anti-American figure; he also holds positions like deputy chairman of the Assembly of Experts in some reports. (I have heard that he now supports developing a nuclear weapon, but, in my research, I have not found any evidence to support that claim.)

-At this time, the death toll in Iran stands at appx 787, with 168 (mostly children) killed in last Saturday’s US slaughter-bombing of Shajareh Tayyebeh (or similar spelling) girls’ elementary school in Minab, Hormozgan province, southern Iran.
-Marco Rubio claimed that the US attacked Iran because Israel was going to attack Iran and Iran might hit the US after being hit by Israel. Utterly insane blather to lay cover for pure aggression, anti-constitutional military action, and mass-murder. Trump and Netanyahu clearly worked together for weeks. Israel is not powerful enough on its own to attack Iran with conventional weapons, and its military would not have moved first to attack without coordination with the US.
Rubio ALSO claimed that, get this: ‘“We can’t notify 535 members of Congress,” Rubio said. “Congress can vote on whatever they want, but there’s no law that requires us to do that.”’ Which, of course, completely reframes the system the Constitution contains, hiding the re-working inside a comical claim about not being able to “notify” members of Congress prior to a President unilaterally acting. The Constitution is clear: Congress Declares War, with a CAPITAL W, because War is a long-understood term that supposedly encompasses certain rules, such as not targeting civilians, treating prisoners with dignity and in a humane way, not torturing, not stealing civilian land, etc. Of course, through the millennia, many soldiers and their commanders have not abided by that standard, but that IS the standard, and it is the reason why Alberto Gonzales got Congress to disregard a Declaration of War in 2002 and got them to pass the nonsensical “Authorization to Use Military Force” (AUMF), rather than the Dec of War Ron Paul had offered (despite Paul openly stating he would oppose the action and vote against ANY military action) to keep them on record as having dismissed the real standard of the US Constitution.
Curiously, Rubio is not alone in this criminal deception. Justin Amash had to remind talk show host “Joe Pags” about this fundamental DECLARATION OF WAR fact:
-And the US-Israeli murder spree just saw a despicable DOUBLE-TAP attack at a Tehran cafe, hitting innocent civilians, THEN hitting rescuers. DropSite has more. Headline: ‘Witnesses Describe Horror Scene After “Double-Tap” Bombing Kills Over 20 at Popular Tehran Square’ LINK
-Trump is embarking on a new LIE, claiming that Iran was SOOOO CLOSE to developing a “ballistic missile threat” he had to get to it and kill-kill-kill. Yet, that isn’t what his own “Intel Community” said. Here is key info, from The Islander News:
’“Their missiles soon would’ve been able to reach America. The ballistic missile program was growing rapidly and dramatically — this posed a clear and dramatic threat to our forces.” — Donald Trump.
The Defense Intelligence Agency published a missile threat assessment in May 2025 stating Iran could develop a long-range missile capable of reaching the United States by 2035 — at the earliest — if it chooses to pursue it and Iran denounced this repeatedly. Trump administration officials acknowledged in closed-door briefings with congressional staff that there was no intelligence suggesting Iran planned to attack US forces first. The pretext was a lie. The intelligence community said so. The Pentagon said so. In writing. On the record.
This is the man who launched the largest American military operation in the Middle East since 2003 — killing Iran’s Supreme Leader, closing the Strait of Hormuz, putting 51,400 troops in hotels, burning through irreplaceable missile and Patriot interceptor stocks, and handing China the justification to permanently rethink its rare earth pause — on the basis of a threat his own Defence Intelligence Agency said was a decade away and his own Pentagon confirmed was fabricated. The incompetent moron in the baseball cap at Mar-a-Lago told the world Iran could soon reach America. His intelligence agencies told Congress the opposite. Only one of those statements started a war. Only one of them was true. And the Strait is closed, the radar that watches Russian launches is heavily damaged, a minimum of 560 Americans are killed and wounded, Iran will not negotiate, and the man who said we’d finish it fast just told the New York Times he won’t rule out ground troops — in a country his own DIA said posed no imminent threat to the American homeland.
Congratulations, Donald. You may have started WWIII over a missile that doesn’t exist yet. How’s that working out?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Just stop talking, you humiliate a great country when you do, and you’ve never looked more weak. Thanks for betraying America First.’

You also might find Natali Morris’ morning take to be a valuable input, especially when it comes to the ever-changing narratives the Trump Admin offers for its aggression:
Photo credit: The White House

Writes Natali:
’The White House provided this graphic to lay out the goals of the current war with Iran but also stated in a letter to Congress that “it is not possible at this time to know the full scope and duration of military operations that may be necessary.”
Translation: A new forever war. Despite promising that a war with Iran would be “easily won” just a few weeks ago.
At least six American soldiers have been killed and U.S. officials are finally admitting that the U.S. struck Iran because they knew that Israel was going to do it anyway. At least we all can admit that the war is happening at the will of Israel.
Tucker Carlson reports that Mossad agents were arrested for plotting bombing campaigns by officials in Saudi Arabia and Qatar over the weekend so who exactly is bombing U.S. allies? We can’t know yet but it is increasingly apparent that the U.S. is not at the wheel here. President Trump doesn’t help this perception by excitedly announcing Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s appearance on Fox News.
So while the war propaganda rolls on, how will the U.S. fair in this war, alongside a partner that plays dirty? Israel struck civilian areas inside of Tehran on Monday in what civilians are describing as a Double Tap strike. This means that they strike in an area and then strike again when rescue workers come in. It’s a war crime.
On Monday evening, Admiral Brad Cooper, the top U.S. military officer at Central Command sent this letter to the 50,000 American troops that are in harm’s way. It may be intended as motivational and reverent, but it offers no clear objective, trigger, or strategic rationale for the deployment beyond vague references to the Iranian regime and protecting Americans. It suggests a tragic certainty that has been woven throughout U.S. propaganda all weekend: human lives are being risked without a clearly articulated purpose.’

This is a very good conversation between Judge Napolitano and Scott Ritter re Iran

-And, finally, the US and Israel hit this council today, killing 88 people. Headline from yesterday: ‘Iran’s interim council holds talks on country’s governance - Photo”‘ LINK

MANY US LIES:

FLA GOP Congresswoman Una Paloma Blanca opens the Pandora’s Box of ignorance and deceit, literally making up a new version of Article Two of their US Constitution.

https://x.com/gardgoldsmith/status/2028292914091082101?s=20
Then, we have the clear lie of Hegseth, to really kick things off…

Donald Trump’s war crimes, his duplicity and outrageous aggression, and his slavish devotion to the Zionist genocide machine, have seen him and his sycophantic Administration lackeys and the MAGA press/social-media-influencers, engage in and promote a unilateral Executive Branch attack on Iran that, first, brought death to nearly 150 young girls, then death to the Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei and others in his family. As anyone with a sense of morality can conclude, Trump has created a martyr. Ayatollah Khamenei is a martyr. He chose to stay at his modest home, where he easily could be found. No big “victory” for US and Mossad intelligence services… He was at home. His little granddaughter — his fourteen-month-old granddaughter — and his son, his daughter-in-law, and many others also were killed at the house. He was not hiding in fear of an American attack. He was doing his job.
Donald Trump has repeated the sin of lying in the manner of George H.W. Bush, only magnitudes worse. George H.W. Bush made this bold “read my lips, no new taxes” promise in his presidential campaign when he replaced Ronald Reagan. Well Donald Trump campaigned by claiming his foreign policy would bring stability to the world. At rally after rally, he promised to pull a Bob Seger, to “turn the page” forever on those foolish stupid days of ceaseless wars. He criticized the Obama administration and the Biden administration and even the George W. Bush administration for prolonged conflicts that drained US resources. And he kept saying “I’m not going to start a war I’m going to stop wars.”
How did that age? Like the picture of Dorian Gray. It looked good on the PR-side, but in reality, the evil has grown. In June, last year, Trump lied to the Iranians and attacked them while promising negotiations (that would be the bully US making demands, not real “diplomacy”), and he and his Admin lied to us about a bogeyman “nuclear weapons” program in Iran that did not and still does not exist, then, they lied to us about not wanting more international military crusades.

Trump and Netanyahu reportedly planned this in December, lying again about wanting peace… And now, with the murder of the Ayatollah his son, his daughter-in-law, his grand-daughter, and approximately 40 people who had gathered at the house… Trump has started a religious war.
By attacking the leader of the Shia Muslims across many nations, he is uniting those international subscribers to Shia. This is seeing the Iraqi population joining the Iranians in common cause, seeing the Iraqis, who for a decade have tried to get the US out of their nation, turn on US bases and the US embassy in Iraq.
Iraq and Yemen are firing into Israel, which has forced the United States to fire. The Iraq situation now is becoming complicated? Iran is now firing at the U.S. military bases in Iraq. And, as I mentioned, the Iraqis have been asking the US to leave for ten years, and they’ve been telling Iraq to go pound sand, “we’ll do what we want.”
So, on these bases, there’s supposedly only two thousand, maybe more Americans, that are now isolated in Iraq. Some in Iraqi Kurdistan, the rest, perhaps they could flee to Turkey. The rest are in central Iraq. The militias or Shia militias are now firing on them. The Iraqi government wants them out, so it doesn’t care if there’s none of them. The Iraqi Shia militia are now firing on the U.S. bases, along with Iran. And the Iraqi government’s now firing on Israel. Iran is helping the Iraqi government against the U.S. bases by shooting on them.

-Lindsay Graham admits this is about REGIME CHANGE, and he seems to think this is a big win, for you, the Constitution, and the Middle East. All clean and tidy… Sure.

Trump juuuuuust admitted that this could run for weeks — but the Trumpite mind misses the point that logistically, his forces can’t keep it up… Headline: “Trump Says Iran War Could Last Weeks and Gives Competing Visions of New Regime” LINK

Of course, on the economic side, Trump just sparked an even deeper disaster than his tariffs and energy blocks (still blocking Russian fuel) and fascist colonialism already have caused. The price of oil is rising, and here is an important headline: “Maritime insurers cancel war risk cover in Gulf as Iran conflict disrupts shipping | Shipping industry | The Guardian” LINK

And the worst part is by the middle of the first day, the middle of the first day of conflict, Trump was able to turn this from a war in Iran to a regional war with Iraq and Yemen, and then he turned it into a religious war.
Congratulations.

Chances are rising that Trump will be impeached. If the Dems get the House and Senate, as they now should, and if the Dems see that their meals are better laid out by going with American popular opinion against the madness Trump has started, rather than taking the AIPAC line, Trump will be convicted and he’ll be removed from office. He will not complete his term. But this increases the likelihood of an Israeli-backed false flag to galvanize US citizens against Iran and other Shia people in other nations. The Dems and most GOP-ers know, but disregard the fact that their vaunted Constitution stipulates only Congress can Declare War, not the president. So, his lawless behavior easily could come back to bite him. It just depends on how corrupt the majority in the Legislature are.

This also could place state-level politicians in jeopardy…

Let’s take a broader view of the newly forming Shia Jihad coalition and see how this danger on the US-state-level might rise…

Khomeini was the second most important religious leader in Shia Islam. There are seventy million pracitioners of Shia Islam in Iran. There’s Shia in Pakistan. Bahrain is in the middle of a revolt because eighty percent of the population is Shia. That’s Bahrain…
Iraq is ruled by Shia, Shia Arabs in this case.
In Saudi Arabia, itself, thirty-five percent of the population is Shia. In some countries, such as Bahrain, they’re the oppressed majority, toiling beneath internationally-supported oligarchs. They’re oppressed by the twenty percent Sunni upper class. Other countries, like Iraq and Iran, they’re the majority.
Trump just killed the number two man in all if Shia Islam.
This would be akin to the US (or its proxies in Ukraine) killing Kirill, the patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church in Moscow. It would be like killing the Bishop of Canterbury.
Trump’s disdain for human ethics, his contempt for the US Constitution, and his deceitful nature are manifest, displayed over and over, from his lying about negotiating with Iran this year, to his lying about negotiations with Iran last year, to his lies about trying to bring peace to Russia and Ukraine, to his lies about ending the Department of Education or bringing down US budgets.
Recall the Ukrainian attempt on the life of Vladimir Putin - backed and coordinated by the US, and, likely, the UK…
Ninety-one drones.
How long can the US engage in international assassination of foreign members of government before state and local politicians in the US are in danger of retaliation? Think about how many governors, lieutenant governors, senators, state senators, sheriffs... They’re all closer to becoming targets now. Trump has made all of them a target.
And now, the US has moved troops out of many Mid-east bases, and has put them into CIVILIAN HOTELS in places like Saudi, Bahrain, and Qatar. Meaning, the US is using civilians as shields.

Appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press, Lindsay Graham watched the host read the valid criticism of Trump’s warmongering that former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green offered earlier. His reply:
“We said it on rally stage after rally stage speech after speech. Trump-Vance, basically the entire administration, campaigned on it and promised to put America first and make America great again.”
When asked, “Did the president’s strikes on Iran go against everything that he promised the American people Senator?”
He replied: “Quite the opposite. He promised to keep us safe to stand up to people who would hurt America. She’s a former congressman for a reason. America first is not isolationism. America first is not head in the sand. America first is not to get entangled. We’re not going to have any boots on the ground in Iran. But America first is to kill people who wish us ill. Kill people who wish us ill.”

That is sick. It is utterly decoupled from the US Constitution. It is the mind of a marauder…

Word is that Trump has asked to negotiate again with Iran. What international political figure ever would trust Trump to negotiate anything?
And who will believe any of the dancing dreck-mongers who shilled for Trump, betrayed their statements about wanting peace, and broke their oaths to their lovely US CON-stitution?

Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) offers more bizarre, ill-informed, hubristic, egomaniacal statements: Now.

And Caitlin Johnstone puts it well about US Ambassador to the UN Waltz’s claim that Iran started this. ‘Only the United States could bomb a country, kill its leader, massacre its children, declare the intention to destroy its military and topple its government, and then call that country's retaliation against US military bases "unprovoked".’
