Reports indicate that a ground invasion in Iran is imminent. Congress refused to assert its constitutional duty to check the president’s authority in this matter. They will on a paid two week vacation when boots hit the ground and bodies start to get bagged.

Listening to NPR. Just heard an interview with an Iranian citizen who did not want to be identified for fear of government retribution. A few stories later, I am listening to an interview from a resident of Minnesota, who does not want to be identified for fear of government retribution.

TSA is at a breaking point. Democrats could bring a bill to the floor to fund them outside of a larger funding bill. They could actually do this will multiple if not all government agencies outside of DHS. Attempt to actually govern while forcing the hand of the republicans. But sadly they won’t

Remember when the ultra wealthy were championing “effective altruism”? Turns out the worlds problems they chose to solve were democracy, civil liberties. It’s super fun that a handful of people with the wealth of nations have decided to advance ethno-fascism instead of building schools and such.

I am getting a bit discouraged by the constant mention of the tragic deaths American service members while simultaneously downplaying or outright ignoring the deaths of over 100 schoolchildren.

The admin stated they do not have a succession plan. They also stated the new ayatollah will be an immediate target. They implored the Iranian people to rise up, while bombings killed 1,000+ civilians. The admin promised more intense bombings. Next stop, failed state. Same old neocon BS.

There is a greater sense of urgency by and more pressure on your average gas station clerk to work on their day off to cover a shift than congress feels to fulfill their constitutionally mandated duties.

“Can’t make an omelette without cracking a few eggs”. Unfortunately in this particular case we have no specific goal in mind. Just bombing away, killing folks, and hoping it benefits American interests in the end.

Trump will eventually find a pretext to declare martial law. If you are a soldier, when he does, will you follow orders out of a sense of duty? Or because you don’t want to lose those sweet benefits? Take a hard look in the mirror and be honest with yourself.

This is about the vanity fair “bombshell” article. Basically every reputable person who worked for Trump in his first term attested to what a monster he is. There are no actual revelations here. Why does anyone assume this will move the needle?

People mad about the Super Bowl halftime show need to realize it is the least football centric game of the year. Between the halftime show and the commercials half the viewers don’t give a shit about the game. It’s for them, not you. When it comes on step outside for a smoke and relax.

I hope today’s meeting gave our military leaders a chance to catch up, chat at the water cooler. Oh, and discuss with each other off the record what to do about refusing illegal orders and possibly remanding control of units who are treasonously acting against the American citizenry.

The furor over who is responsible for political violence the “right” or “left” misses the point. 5 HBCUs had to lock down campuses due to credible threats last week. White supremacy. That’s the leading driver of political violence in America. It may bother some to hear but it crosses the aisle.

The rush to analyze the political leanings of a mass shooter is not to try to prevent future shootings. It is to prove that “they” are the problem, absolving “us”. Are you American? This is “us”. This is who we are. We produce these people and these events.

Meanwhile offline…. You would be surprised how many people don’t have the foggiest idea who Charlie Kirk was. This is not the Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Given his murder is the first many will ever hear of him, there is no reason for the media to whitewash how much of a racist hate-monger he was

The more emboldened and lawless the feds get the more likely there is for violence. When that happens, if you are in law enforcement you are going to have to decide which side you are on. You can’t pretend you are just enforcing the law if you are protecting and supporting the mission of fascists.

A good time for service men and women to reflect on a few things. While legal consequences may never materialize you will always be morally culpable for how you handle what comes next and how you contributed to it. Conscientious Objection is real, you can always walk away. Not to is a choice.

How far are we going to go down this road before congress does something about this? Are we waiting for mid term elections or sectarian violence? Or whichever comes first?

It’s worth noting that slavery was MUCH, MUCH worse than is typically depicted in museums and taught in schools. And the effects on the development of American culture are MUCH, MUCH more significant and prevalent than we ever talk about.

The prospect of sectarian violence is very real here in America. Someday my grandkids will ask me why I didn’t joint the militia to fight fascism and save democracy. If I am gonna be honest about it… because I have to be up early for work and back in time to get the kids to practice 🤷🏼‍♂️
