If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again β€” Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them β€” But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.

A β€œcontrolled depression” β€” that is Corpus Christi’s near future due to a lack of water.

We are running out of water.

And yet, the Greedy Few are coming to monopolize our water for their profits.

The time to act is now. Join us to help save Texas >> #water

'Dire catastrophe': Corpus Christi could be close to running out of water Officials in Corpus Christi say they will face a β€œwater emergency” within months and could run out of water entirely next year.

Greg Abbott and MAGA Republicans have run Texas for 30 years. They own this fuckup.

This is horrific. Trump is an unsalvageable degenerate psychopath, he will never change, but every single elected Republican in Texas should have this hung around their necks.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

Screenshot of an excerpt of a Bulwark article by Lt. Gen. (retired) Mark Hertling:

***

This is why responsible national leadership requires two qualities at the same time: expertise and, in my view, a level of discomfort and anxiety.

Expertise ensures decisions are grounded in strategyβ€”clear thinking about ends, ways, and means. What is the political objective? What military action advances it? How do those individual tactical actions contribute to an operational plan? What risks follow? What happens the day after the strikes end?

Discomfort serves as a moral and strategic guardrail. Leaders who feel the weight of ordering teenagers toward hardship, injury, and death are more likely to ask the necessary hard questions. They consult widely, think about escalation, and remember that war is not simply a tool of policy but a human undertaking with irreversible consequences.

The paradox is that those who understand force best are rarely eager to use it. They prepare for it. They plan for it. They master it. But they never become comfortable with it.

If a president is becoming more knowledgeable about military power, that is a good thing. If he is becoming β€œcomfortable” ordering it, that should give all of us pauseβ€”because too much comfort with the desire to use force is rarely a sign of wisdom.
