AFP: "It breaks my heart": UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher says "we're seeing staggering amounts of money, reportedly a billion dollars a day” being spent on the Middle East war, rather than addressing the world’s β€œhuge humanitarian caseload.”

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

A Republican Member, Darrell Issa, tried to mansplain to me how I was conflating and making everything a β€œwomen's issue."

He’s wrong β€” and does not understand how many issues are all interconnected. It’s a pattern of not taking sexual violence seriously. So, no, I am not the naive one.

β€œLike I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.

He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will β€” and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

The United States, which has placed the Gulf states in these difficult circumstances, must bear the economic consequences of its actions. It is only natural for the Gulf states to reconsider their previous investment agreements with it and to redirect their interests in a manner that preserves their security and stability. Major adventures always generate economic repercussions.

Governments often exploit the anxiety caused by war to achieve other goals at home. We must ensure that the conflict with Iran isn't used as an excuse to meddle with the midterms. Stay informed by subscribing to The Briefing, our free weekly newsletter: bit.ly/3Yrz5jM

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.

Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) β€” on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground:

β€œWe have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

Soon, Pam Bondi and Howard Lutnick will testify before our Committee on Jeffrey Epstein.

This is a huge win for our investigation and the American public, and we’re not stopping there. Anyone with intimate knowledge of Epstein’s crimes should come speak to us.

This really should be on every front page in America.

The fucking President, an adjudicated rapist and Epstein BFF, almost certainly assaulted a 13 year old child

On March 4, a U.S. sub torpedoed the IRIS Dena. Of 180 aboard, 87 died and 61 are missing; Sri Lanka rescued 32.

Sinking a ship that was someone's guest, that was following peacetime protocols, that couldn't fight back. Then leaving sailors to drown thousands of miles from home. That’s a war crime.

I’ve had nice cars in my life. Euro sedans suvs coupes. My fav was a V6 aero Saab turbo. It was fun to drive. Too bad they got strip mined gutted and tossed. Plus I’m tall and Swedes make tall cars. Plenty of head room.
