WARIRAN

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.

-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
aaaannnnd… Whoops Headline: “Embassy tells trapped Americans in Israel to fend for themselves — drawing anger” LINK

US ECONOMY

Factories are in worse trouble than the Trumpers will acknowledge. LINK

IMMIGRATION POLICE STATE

Denver… Good move. Headline: “Denver bans federal law enforcement officers from covering their faces” LINK

-The CA Assembly just passed an invasive and impossible-to-enforce “Age Verification” mandate on internet users. Kids already are using AI, and the legislation is designed to favor large, politically-connected corporations, at the expense of smaller companies/startups. 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? Headline: ‘Replit CEO Sues Rep. Fine Over X Block’ LINK
