I, for one, would rather live in a world with an active Iranian nuclear program yet still had an America that was the leader of the free world and shining city on the hill.

It's perverse that we seem to be able to pay attention to gas prices, with virtually no discussion of the utter immorality of the "Iran Excursion." How does it feel to be pounding our chests for being on the OTHER side of Pearl Harbor?

What sort of evidence would be required to show that personal bribes (Saudi, Qatar, UAE) to Trump et al were the real driving force behind our attacks on Iran? Has the Roberts court rendered this impossible with its nonsensical immunity ruling? See why Foreign Emoluments were so feared?

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

Without reliable economic reports, the only question at this point is whether it will be known as the "Trump Recession" or the "Trump Depression."

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

How much would it cost for my state (CA) to hire a chunk of the federal DOJ? And FBI? This has nagged at me since Musk's absurd RIFs. But the stark realization is how f*cked we are by what's happening to legitimate law enforcement above all else. Could CA & NY ++ bond together and fund all of it?

One of my all-time favorite movie lines is Auda Abu Tayi telling Colonel Harry Brighton: "Give thanks to God, Barton, that when he made you a fool, he gave you a fool's face." Why is it that every MAGA on stage makes me think of this? Hell, the whole movement reminds me of it, doesn't it you?

There is literally no Western politician alive that I can think of that has incited more hate, bigotry, and violence than Donald Trump. That so many in our public life, in our 'liberal' media, have just memory-holed 10 years of nonstop incitement and abuse from him is shameful.

Even something as simple as an FBI press briefing now has to begin with a LIE. There's no way that this is the most tips from the public since the Boston marathon bombing. January 6th 2021 generated far more as I recall.

Don't tell me I am obliged to mourn Charlie Kirk (I'm looking at you Jake Tapper). Kirk did nothing but whip up hate and help to destroy the America I once knew. None of that crowd had a peep to say when MN state lawmakers were slaughtered, and that includes Kirk's Orange Lord in the White House.

I am decidedly NOT a Rand Paul fan, but watching him try to explain to Fox moron Will Cain why the US can't blow up ships willy-nilly in international waters was fun. How do literate Americans take clowns like Will Cain seriously?

Wow. I like the News Mix channel. It's a great way to keep an eye of the Fox garbage being swallowed by a great many of our neighbors. But today it also alowed me to see Jake Tapper give an absolutely no-pushback platform to always available Fla Rep Gimenez spewing Trump regime lies about Chicago.

One of the bad things about America being so large is there are millions of Americans for whom Pasadena may has well be another country instead of one of the finest places to live that America has to offer. People are so damned parochial it's embarrasing.
