    Typical Trump. Meanwhile, we've already spent over 39 billion on the war, and are averaging about 1.3 million a minute. It's disgusting. But, Trump was online bragging about the "Greatest and Most Beautiful Ballroom of its kind anywhere in the World' again tonight, along with more pictures. Who cares about that right now? He is so out of touch with the American people. When 8 million people march in protest he should have a clue that Americans are fed up with his BS. But, he doesn't care. In fact, instead of listening the people he just lashes out at them. If it's not one person it's another. He thinks he's so cute and witty when he makes his stupid childish remarks.

    Tonight, after he bragged about his ballroom for the thousandth time, he posted "Is Bruce Springsteen going to sue his plastic surgeon?" Just that, nothing else. He is such an embarrassment to our country. People around the world must think Americans are the stupidest fools on earth to have voted for a 79 year old with the morals of a gutter rat, the maturity of a 3 year old, and the mindset of a sociopath.

    Hegseth also fired the Army's head of training. Probably because he was one guy who kept giving all these minorities an opportunity to lead.

    Since the war started, we have fired the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Attorney General, the Army Chief of Staff and two other high ranking Army generals. Rumor is that there are more to come. This is akin to a slow-rolling Saturday Night Massacre and would have meant the automatic impeachment of any previous president, but alas, Trump toadies, er, Republicans control both Houses.

    It looks like Hegseth is blocking promotions for anyone who doesn't match his preferred profile, and firing the generals who push back. During wartime, the aesthetic must come before competence and experience.

    We just bombed the Pasteur Institute in Tehran, a premier infectious disease research facility founded in 1920. It's essentially their CDC. The PI was famous in part because it allowed Iran to be one of the first non-Western countries to develop a measles vaccine, so this is just us making sure Iran is as great as America when it comes to public health.

    I doubt we will know the true extent of injuries and deaths, damages to bases, aircraft, etc.. until it's all said and done. There's speculation that it's much higher than the numbers being released. We are approaching 40 billion now, and that doesn't include cost of repairs and replacing aircraft, or long term costs in VA care for the injured. It doesn't include replacing ammunition or all the other costs that result from war and inflation.

    Now we are evacuating bases hit, and putting soldiers among the civilian population to work remotely, endangering the civilians and making them targets of retaliation upon our troops. Can you imagine what it's costing to put them in hotels on top of the 40 billion?

    This unprovoked attack decided on a whim shows just how utterly unprepared our military was for a situation that didn't result in an immediate win and mutual agreement with Iran for once their leader was killed. It's like Trump just expected to be able to insert a leader of his choice afterwards, who would hold hands, and do everything he asked, so he could say he made Iran Great Again. Even when we had what we called a ceasefire, Bibi was bombing away the whole time. How was that a real effort to come to an agreement? Trump sure as hell wasn't about to negotiate in person, and the stories contradict all the time about real talks with us even happening. Trump says one thing and Iran says another.

    It's hard to stomach the costs, all the lies and the twisted mentality and incompetence of Trump and his decision to appoint a bootlicking crazy bloodthirsty wanna be warrior with no real combat leadership experience to lead his brown shirt regime. It shows how reckless and incompetent Trump is though. I guess for him it's a win to be able to say they have a guy frothing at the mouth to fire all those "woke" Generals and Admirals, put real men with Trump's vision in charge of all the branches of the military, and fire and block promotions of those black and women Generals and Admirals they call DEI hires.

    Sorry, but to me this isn't a win. In fact, only a sociopath or psychopath could twist what's happening, by saying he is doing this all for Americans, making America Great Again, and that we are the hottest country in the world right now. How long does it take for Trump supporters to smell the bullshit?

    For Trump, every accusation is a confession











    Who is negotiating for us in the Middle East? Bombs are dropping all over the place! Sleepy Joe is sleeping on a Beach in California, viciously Exiled by the Democrats, and Comrade Kamala is doing a campaign bus tour with Tampon Tim, her really bad V.P. Pick. Let’s not have World War lll, because that’s where we’re heading!

    Geneva: Medical and civilian infrastructure are protected from direct attack, unless they are used for military purposes.

    Some intern to LLM - find me a legitimate military reason to bomb it.

    LLM - the knowledge and know-how of this research facility and its equipment can be used to produce WMDs (biological weapons)

    It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see how it works out for ... *gulp* ... us.

    White House seeks $1.5 tn defense budget as Iran war drives costs

    US President Donald Trump asked lawmakers on Friday to approve a massive $1.5 trillion defense budget for 2027, as the United States faces rising costs from its war with Iran and mounting global security commitments.

    While calling for a historic increase in the military’s budget, the White House is also seeking a 10 percent cut to nondefense spending, with a proposed reduction of $73 billion from federal programs outside the military.

    It also calls for Congress to zero out funding for the Commerce Department agency that promotes minority-owned businesses and the National Endowment for Democracy, which promotes freedom in countries with authoritarian regimes that threaten U.S. interests.

    "The American people want health care, not warfare. The Trump administration has spent billions on a reckless war with Iran but REFUSES to increase funding for health care," House Democrats said in a statement on social media.

    "It's heartless and House Democrats will not stand for it."

    They shot down another F35 as well as a helicopter that was searching for the pilot. If the Iranians find that pilot, it’s going to be brutal.

    Both sides offering rewards. Clashes broke out somewhere but it won’t be confirmed till he’s found I’m sure.

    Should probably call it what it is….an Offensive Budget.
