Pete Hegseth has killed far, far more humans than the murderous Major Nidal Hasan. And there's no Jesus-based justification for America killing prisoners & filming it. Congrats, MAGA - Trump made America more like ISIS. Pls read, subscribe & share: johnfugelsang.substack.com/p/americas-f...

So I'll bet my entire year's paycheck that livestreaming Hasan's execution will not include audio of his last words, or of anything said before the firing.

WHAT a life!! Margaret Hamilton, who lead the 100-person team that wrote the onboard software for the Apollo missions, guiding Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to a safe landing on the moon, died Sept. 30 in Cambridge, Mass. She was 90. Her death, in a hospital, was confirmed by her daughter, Lauren.

If it wasn't for tax, we would have already eliminated all cents on all transactions. Nothing we buy today costs less than a dollar. Nothing. But we sell something for a buck and we have to assess a 8.54 cent tax on it, or 4.56, or 2.78, so the government keeps on keeping on with nickels & dimes.

Remember that the 2nd Battle of Fallujah started soon after the midterms. Don't be surprised if the 2nd Battle in Iran begins in mid-November.

My less-than-6-month-old new Ford Maverick truck was final assembled in... ...Hermosillo, Mexico. So did I pay some fucking tariff because of it? Probably. Didn't see it on the window sticker but then, they don't post tariffs on ANY car window sticker, do they? Volvo's from Sweden?

Iranian rockets intending to deploy mines in the straight. Just one needs to get through to create a threat. Imagine if these rockets are the same fucking things as scatter mine drops. Three or four ship mines scattered by one rocket, like our own MIRVs.

Levin didn't spend but eight fucking minutes over two hours this weekend talking about Iran. And specifically, regime change. His guest said over 2/3rds of Iranians oppose their regime. Know what? SO DOES OURS.

Instead if adding more jurists to the Supreme Court, I say we just allow one. Just One. Lifetime appointment. We let the other eight die off or resign. Give Supreme Power to one fucking person, same as Republicans already want today in their president.

Levin tonight -- arguing the big beautiful bill lowered my taxes. Yes, it did. But all it did, in high income and taxed states, is revert it back to the same fucking levels we had before his tax increases in blue states in his 1st term. So I now wait 5 years to recoup what I overpaid.

It is a *certainty* that Little Marco resigns as whatever position(s) he currently holds right soon after the midterms. He runs for president, distancing himself from Trump, same as every Repub did in 2008 w/ Bush, leaving JD stuck defending Trump as he can't resign as VP.

Iran has now only an *imperative* to build nuclear weapons. As we're not bombing the shit out of North Korea, Iran has every fucking incentive going forward to keep trying.

Insania @insaniabd.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
We are told to pay just a little bit more for gasoline because we've eliminated Iran from *ever* having a nuclear weapon. That's not been shown or otherwise proven they don't still have that capability. And fuck, why WOULDN'T Iran keep on trying? North Korea ain't being bombed...

So Mark Levin tonight: seeking regime change per Reagan doctrines. Christ, he fucking damn well knows MAGA and Reagan are water & oil. Seeking to bomb Iranian energy infrastructure into COMPLETE AND TOTAL OBLITERATION, assuming doing so results in regime change.

I saw first hand a new Army recruit in Ft. Sill jump out of a 3rd floor window. So I understand what stress can do, although I'll still say the sailor jumping off a ship is really a one-off situation and is not typical, but not uncommon either. It's Hegseth's response that's the problem.

As a former Army veteran I always thought that the Navy had it better. On a ship. Not in the jungle. Not getting small arms fire or artillery launched at them. But ok, what will likely be a full year deployment on a ship...yeah, we're all in the same shit.

Levin is asking for Trump to bomb Kharg to try to force regime change. Ok, it'll likely happen soon enough because Trump's losing face with us citizens and really, he ain't got shit to lose by doing so. Recall that Bush set in motion the 2nd battle of Fallujah days after winning his 2nd term.

Midterms are essentially meaningless wrt Trump because it's what comes after that matters. He's already announced his run for 2028 and he will. He's got SCOTUS on his side.

McConnell ain't gonna vote again, ever. He's a lost Republican vote between now and January and I'm totally okay with this. We all do better without him.

Insania @insaniabd.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
I absolutely guarantee Trump will claim he's got SCOTUS approval to run in 2028, and so he will. There's nothing in the constitution to stop him from running, or to stop his party from putting him on the ballot, and nothing to stop him from getting in the general ballot, & nothing from stopping 1/

Insania @insaniabd.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
I'm just fine with McConnell not voting until January. It's good enough to have just one less senate vote when they're trying for the Save act. They will roll him into the chamber and his two eye blinks will allow the parliamentarian to record his vote.

Mark Levin and his guest Victor Davis Hanson asking for Trump to force regime change. Which Trump *completely* argued against which led to his reelection. Levin is a complete dick, not complaining how Trump has fuckered up any opportunity to see an internal Iranian revolt.

I'm quite certain both Alito and Thomas will resign after the 2026 mid-term elections, allowing Trump to have appointed 5 of 9. No reason they would stay on and die in office when a democrat assumes office in 2028. Ginsburg *really* fucked everything up by dying instead of leaving.

Insania @insaniabd.bsky.social · 27/07/2026
Mark Levin tonight -- arguing for *why* we needed to bomb Iran. But zero discussion on *how* we're doing it. It's the how that really matters. He knows Trump is fucking it all up but he can't come out and say it. We have now only hardened the Iranian civilians against the US.

Insania @insaniabd.bsky.social · 25/07/2026
I didn't hear it as a joke about running for president in 2028, because I said he was gonna do this -- he has every reason in his mind for keep on saying that after the midterms. It sows more doubt & confusion, keeps him in the headlines, and he'll certainly get 2 & probably 4 of 9 SCOTUS to agree.

I'm awaiting the day I can vote by cellularized telephone. MAGA doesn't even want vote by mail which is a 40 year old issue, but there's likely going to be a day in my future where US mail will become extinct. MAGA of the future will bitch about vote by phone.

Quite bothered with both Trump's and particularly with Hegseth's salutes. They are both incorrect. The very first thing taught to me at West Point was how to correctly salute. Pete clearly failed Princeton's ROTC instruction and Don clearly failed his forced private military academy upbringing.

The "unclassified" releases of our nation blowing up a drone or a set of 3 cylinders -- we can see the missiles that hit, but what are these ordinances? We obviously spent a fuck ton just to get the visuals, so how much more did we spend on the missiles to destroy a...Toyota truck? Drainage tubes?

I can't resolve how 8 of the 17 servicemembers killed for this Iran war are officers. Nearly half, when only the Space Force has a 1:1 ratio but aren't *truly* active combatants. That is, Space Forcians aren't deployed in the region, or so I believe. 1/2.

If a Democrat is in high office when Trump dies, will he/she do what Trump would do today if Biden dies and sign an executive order preventing flying flags at half staff because he wasn't a legitimate president having stolen the 2020 election?

I drove by a flag at Flag City yesterday and noted it was at half staff. I wonder...if McConnell already died, but it won't be revealed until after that August deadline, would flags go to half mast a month *after* he died to death?
