An Epidemic of βVictory Diseaseβ
The president is pointing to the American militaryβs excellence as though that somehow constitutes a strategy in itself.
For years, strategists have warned national leaders against the temptations of "victory disease," the belief that winning battles means they're winning the war. Leaders throughout history have made this mistake, and Trump seems to be making it now.

Pete Hegseth Treats Fallen American Soldiers as a PR Problem
His use of the Iran war dead to attack the media was disgraceful.
Pete Hegseth, if he does not resign, should at least get out of the way and let better men than him talk to the nation and to the press.

No Quarter
And not one more inch.
We obviously need Trump to be removed from power. Short of that we need the world to know that the majority of American citizens, and their representatives in the opposition party, can see that this is madness and are trying to stop it. www.offmessage.net/p/no-quarter

As Iran War escalates, Trump and allies focus on pushing SAVE America Act
While bombs fall on U.S. bases, Trump is posting about the SAVE America Act.
Amidst international conflict, Trump has intensified his domestic war on elections as he continues pressuring Congress for the passage of the SAVE America Act.
The same bill could endanger the ability of millions of eligible Americans to vote right before the midterms.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say
The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.
Russia is helping Iran attack America, and Ukraine is helping America defend itself from Russia and Iran.
It is time to renew our support for Ukraine and Europe, and stop Trump's ongoing appeasement of Putin. Congress must now revive the Russia sanctions bill, get serious here.

Trumpβs βWarflationβ Has Just Begun
If he were trying to increase prices on purpose, would he be doing anything differently?
Get ready for some "warflation": higher prices for oil, gas, food (lots of fertilizer passes through Hormuz), goods made with petrochemicals (umbrellas, shampoo, toys, etc.), and pretty much anything that needs to be transported anywhere.

My advice to the Administration: With the U.S. uncomfortably close to a recession -- and already in a jobs recession -- don't do anything rash that could make things worse.

Sen. Whitehouse to uncover connections between Trump, Russia, and Epstein.
YouTube video by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
Good speech. Most US press got bamboozled by Bill Barr's scheme. Trump's collusion with Russia was always real, continues to be. www.youtube.com/live/ylvTFvJ...
