So after a much needed month away from social media doom-scrolling, and practicing strategic avoidance of the "250" debacle, I find most things unimproved. But aside from the heatwave 😬, it was a welcome and much needed mental health reprieve. How have you guys been doing?

The only REAL news anymore, as opposed to bought-and-paid-for authoritarian propaganda comes from independent non-network ACTUAL journalists on YouTube, Substack, and the like. We must give them, and truth in reporting, our support. open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Detonated CBS After Being Fired For Hurting His New Boss's Feelings: Spiked Stories, Politicians Picking Reporters, Told To "Inject Falsehoods," ETC.
A tech blogger who’s never made a TV news show just fired Scott Pelley “for cause” because Pelley hurt his feelings on day one. Welcome to CBS, a subsidiary of whatever Trump/Netanyahu want

In other words, they're considering developing a concept of a plan for a discussion.

I will miss Stephen Colbert so much! His was the only decent show left on CBS/Paramount. After boycotting everything else, now my boycott will be total.

My late father, a WWII Purple Heart and Silver Star recipient and disabled vet, wounded by dozens of shrapnel fragments in France, passed at age 96 in 2019. He would be horrified as well.

Mark Carney simply never misses. This morning, he kindly put our relationship with Trump's America in a body bag while reminding us who we are.

If only Congress, especially the GOP, had the courage of the Iranians, the US would be in a much better place domestically, and not in Iran.

The "President" of Iran is basically a PR figurehead. He has no power over policy, internally or externally, and certainly none over the military or its actions/strategies. Also, they're still firing missiles and drones in the region.

And Trump already denied it in the presser with the German Chancellor. No telling what the next new reason will be before nightfall. Or what tomorrow's rationale will be. It changes multiple times a day. You could get whiplash trying to follow along.

Yep, history tells us that wars have their peak public support at the start, and it erodes over time as a war goes on. So if 27% is the high point of support....

While the UK is arranging to bring their citizens out of the Middle East, the US State Department warned Americans in the region to get out and specifically instructed them to fly commercial. When airports and airspace have been closed throughout. Are airlines now to dodge missiles and drones? 🙄🤬

Hesgeth this morning sounded like a frat boy pissed at a guy from another frat house who talked to his crush, posturing midway through a kegger: "So dude we're gonna go over there and kick some ass. It's gonna be awesome. Who's with me?" Pathetic and embarassing. Yet this is where we are.

There's no side to support in this war. This is not good vs evil. This is evil vs evil. No good can come from it. I feel badly for the people caught in a vise between the two. And I feel badly for the Epstein et al victims being pushed aside and revictimized by it. Where are all the missing files?
