Richard Medhurst streamed an update last night you would appreciate as market research w twist.. he grew up w diplomat parents in the region & priceless view of geopolitical power.. he has detail & analysis w mapping of resistance conflicts, strikes etc and made a great case for LNG monopoly as US objective w energy dominance as military strategy.. on my favorites list for Julian Assange reporting <3
Big time hero in my old, forever anti-war heart.. old enough to remember how inspirational and hopeful it felt to see truth triumph over the war machine.. so many inspired by Daniel who was a great friend to Obama's Espionage Act target list... what an incredible human emblematic of a time when liars & thieves who rule over us put great effort into crafting propaganda & cover stories were articulated by men who gave thought to sounding well educated & informed.. hat tip to Senator Mike Gravel who delivered a dose of Mr. Smith ethics in Washington.
It's alarming to read POTUS posts or hear Hegseth rants of fire brimstone & death... "It costs a lot to kill bad guys".. pony up more billions.. make truth tellers & stockades great again.
Brilliant. The only way to get the Iran thing under control is to full Leeeroy jenkins and stop every ship coming out of Hormuz, and board them in international waters. We then interrogate the crew and escort them to places we want them to go. Who will stop us? The PRC and its PLAN? The Rodina? Nobody. War over. If the Hague wants to put Donnie in the Dock, good luck with that. That's why W, Condi, and many others never left the US after Iraq.
“ Note that in Kent’s full interview with Tucker Carlson, he remains very complimentary of President Trump.”
Such an odd thing to me. If he really believed what he wrote in that resignation letter how could be still respect Trump? At best seems like trying to have it both ways.
To get out of this mess we will need to pass budgets that have a surplus. Americans have shown absolutely no interest in decreasing government goodies nor increasing their taxes to generate the surplus. We are going to hit the iceberg at some point.
Remember "Speak softly but carry a big stick". Trump is the opposite. Loudly overstates everything, and then cannot carry through. Constant bluffing does not work at this level.
Both parties have been bleeding us to death financially (and morally) for some time, and Harris promised more of he same making the last election another Hobson's Choice. I could not envision Trump going this far off the rails, and Israel's strike on natural gas fields is a blow to the whole world. No place to hide from this one

Thank you.
Here’s a thought experiment: what if the good die young because the intelligence community doesn’t have shit on them?

Excellent work here. I don't agree with some of it, but I like that it's in good faith, which is often lacking these days.
RIP Phil Hartman. No doubt, that's the funniest thing Lovitz has ever said.
