Russia and Iran are allies. Trump started a war and the price of oil shot up. Trump then eased sanctions on Russian and Iranian oil. Russia is now able to finance its spring offensive against Ukraine. The United States is isolated. Trump served Putin well.

Never let it be said that the gas companies won't manipulate prices

The US is spending more than $1 trillion on the military for the first time in history. That apparently isn't enough. Now, the Pentagon wants $200 billion more for an illegal war in Iran. The answer is NO. We need to invest in the American people, not endless war.

This is what happens when your country (or state) puts religion before education.

His base can't ignore the lies anymore when they can't afford to fill their GMC Dualey, that has a pristine, never used truck bed.

The U.S.- Russia relationship dynamic…

MSNBC Journalist David Rhode reports: "Iran offered to give away ALL of its enriched uranium during peace talks in Geneva. The British thought it was a credible offer. Hours later, Trump started bombing Iran anyway. The US didn't want peace, they wanted war." So to recap... 1/2

The true goals of Israel and Netanyahu revealed: An oil pipeline going west from Iran through the Arabian Peninsula, all the way to their reserves.

If this is accurate, it is just one more reason why dim-witted Donald's useless war will prove to be a huge mistake.

Science has an Epstein problem. Women in paleontology say it's a symptom of a deeper misogyny. When paleontologist Riley Black learned that several scientists in her field had appeared in the Epstein files, she wasn't remotely shocked. www.cbc.ca/radio/epstei...

Alright then. 1st: it grows more apparent, by the day, that these ppl fear women. Forcing women to stay home, & have babies, in this economy? After disassembling social welfare? A 1 income family? HA! Men are already selling sperms to get cash for food & fuel. www.ms.now/ali-velshi/p...

CROCKETT: Professor, are you saying you believe it's constitutional for the US to blow up people that are accused of being drug traffickers? "It's not going to be a yes or no answer" CROCKETT: I'm going to stop you there. It's unconstitutional.

Perfect

Sorry technically it is the *Pentagon* asking the White House to ask Congress for that money. WaPo says some WH aides think it's too much but I'm willing to bet that's what will be asked for.

Not a typo. $200 billion

The various Dolchstoßlegenden will converge into one, and my bet is on anti-Semitism.

Vladimir Putin and the benefits to Russia of war in Iran Russia has received €6bn (£5bn) from selling its fossil fuels in the fortnight since the start of the US-Israel war with Iran, data suggests Illustration: Ella Baron/The Guardian

NEW: Pope Leo XIV's top Middle East envoy has rebuked Pete Hegseth for invoking God in justifying the US-Israel war against Iran. Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa calls Hegseth's actions “the gravest sin we can commit at this time.”

Trump triggers the death knell for American global leadership. Instead of rallying to his call to "open" the Strait of Hormuz, the rest of the world is cutting out the middleman, and making their own deals with Iran. www.aljazeera.com/economy/2026...

BREAKING: WSJ reports Russia is giving intelligence to Iran to hit U.S. forces. Meanwhile, Trump has lifted sanctions on Russia, allowing them to sell more oil. So…we are basically paying Putin to kill our troops. Let THAT sink in.

Due to the hostile take over of American news the only thing Ik for sure about the U.S.- Iran relations is that our government is lying.

Murkowski says funding request for Iran War is “going to provide its own level of shock.”

Donald Trump taking to social media, where anyone can see everything, to desperately cajole our allies into helping him get out of the mess he created, instead of using private diplomatic channels, is a testament to how crass and amateurish our foreign policy is under the short-fingered vulgarian.

Ridicule is Donald's kryptonite. Well, also laws, logic, fidelity, and reality . . .

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Reviews of Lost Worlds are coming in! From Publisher's Weekly: "In a narrative at once demystifying and awe-inspiring, Wyman vividly conjures the distant past while at the same time making it seem like a window into the future. It’s a remarkable achievement." www.publishersweekly.com/9780063256484

Greenland didnt work so Putin looked for another way to end NATO through the IRAN war while also pulling in more oil $$ from reduced sanctions. Trump's rotting cabbage brain is giving out, calling Gavin Newsom "President Newsom". Time is running out for his operative.

I think he's trying to buy his soul back from the devil...

Standard Trump: 💣 Bombs Iran to cover up the Epstein Files. 👧🏻 Bombs school. Twice. ⚰️ U.S lives lost. 📣 Declares victory. 🛢️ $100 a barrel. 🙏 Begs countries he’s repeatedly denigrated for help. 😤 Threatens NATO. 🤔 Questions whether the U.S should be bombing Iran.

Recap: Hour 1: We hit them like they’ve never been hit before. Day 1: We already won this war. It was easy. Yay us. Day 5: We don’t need any help. Don’t bother showing up after the war is over. Losers. Day 13: Why isn’t the world helping us? There will be be consequences.

A tip for sane US folks. Trump & his administration refuse to call a foreign war that he started a war. Why do you think he’ll be honest about being at war in the USA against you? You are at war. He’s already attacking you. #USA #Trump #CivilWar youtube.com/shorts/ZHWY2...

how would YOU open the Strait of Hormuz? Wrong answers only

Pretty staggering that the FT Trump interview opens with ‘if NATO doesn’t help us sort this mess, there’ll be problems’ and ends with ‘Russia might be helping target American soldiers, but really that’s sort of fair enough - we started it’. www.ft.com/content/1ca6...

Morning Bluesky.

If we're going to spend insane amounts of money on infrastructure to get around the Strait of Hormuz, then the sensible option is "build a shit-ton of solar and wind farms", but if you insist on oil, then build a pipeline across Saudi to the Red Sea, not this bullshit.
