This is why Trump and Hegseth want AI
They want the bravado of war, but not the responsibility of it
The decades-long jettisoning of personal and societal responsibility by the GOP has led us to this moral quagmire
Sonny Burton is set to be executed by the state of Alabama on Thursday. There is a direct line between a government that murders its own citizens and the devaluing of life abroad. The sin has always started at home.
Who needs qualifications in Trump's government?
Iβve been waiting and expecting this so here it comes!! In some respects Iβll be surprised if this moron makes it 3 more years. The bigger question is can America and its citizens make it?
Our troops are dying this isnβt a video game. The White House is posting so-called βhypeβ videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. Itβs an absolute disgrace.
Price of Crude Oil WTI (USD/Bbl) over a five-year period, spanning from 2021 to early 2026. The chart shows a significant price peak in 2022 reaching over $120, followed by a general downward trend with various fluctuations, eventually hitting a low near $55 in late 2025 before a sharp vertical spike to the current price of 90.900. This recent surge represents an increase of +23.880 (+35.63%), highlighted in green text above the blue line graph.
The real insanity isnβt how much oil prices have spiked, itβs that weβre still burning oil for energy.
It makes you weep.
Wow!

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
Itβs not 2001 & we arenβt in the immediate aftermath of a major terrorist attack on US soil. The same arguments used then are being used now - if Reps donβt vote to fund a Middle East war they are betraying troops. Thatβs BS. We should not vote to fund Trumpβs wars of aggression.
The BBC did a series of the plays, possibly in the 1980s? It was totally riveting. I have always wished they would dig out those programmes and show them again.
My favourite is Midsummer's Night's Dream. It never fails.

After Renee Good was killed, career FBI agents were ordered to stand down from investigating her killing.
Why?
Kash Patel wanted to falsely spin Renee Good as a threat to law enforcement.
Even if they are published it won't make any difference. Before he was elected there were videos of him bragging about assaulting women. I don't get why it doesn't matter.
If every person who has attempted or plans to attend a No Kings March votes Blue in the midterm election Congress can be retaken. Think about what this simple act can accomplish. Be sure you double check that you are registered to vote well in advance. This is a very patriotic act .
