Jared Kushner yesterday on Fox: “Iran is engaging in a very strong way and that is quite positive … We are having very positive and active conversations. Probably more robust than it’s maybe ever been.”

Vote like your life depends on it, or the life of a friend, relative, or neighbor. Because it does. We’re the decoys now.

We are probably never going to create a population that is "immune" to propaganda. Human beings are too social, emotional and tribal for that, and propaganda is continually adapted to those characteristics.

More lying per the usual. In this case, grifting credit for things done by others.

In the future, people will write their doctoral thesis on the level of stupidity on display here. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/16/u...

He Was a MAGA Patriot. ICE Took His Wife Away.

The case represents a new front in President Trump’s mass deportation drive: arrests at airports of people who have active immigration cases and no criminal history.

Tom is absolutely right about this.

When you go to war because you believe - and only planned for - the Best Case Scenario, this is what happens. A real SECDEF would never have allowed it. But a TV host with no defense background beyond an Army career that never got past Major isn't a real SECDEF

Get back to more urgent issues in your area, s.v.p. What is your take on the Navy fiasco re: USS Lincoln, the destruction of a good deal of its supply base in Bahrain, impact on war PR, etc? Thank you.

NEW AD: 14 years ago today, Ken Paxton stole someone's $1,000 pen. Today, Ken Paxton’s pen victim is endorsing James Talarico.

In case anyone still wonders how he went bankrupt six times.

I don’t understand the logic in scrapping the electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS), and neither do the navy personnel who operate these carriers. Just changing shit for no reason.

Honestly, this is like a Monty Python skit. She's swaying to her own private head music, Brainworms is spouting insane nonsense as usual and yer man is snoring in the middle. This is the US government.

Wouldn't it be easier & far less time consuming to just report when he actually tells the truth?

Trump restarted bombing, and what did he get for it? -Hormuz closed, more economic damage -Lost Oman, which was working with the US before -A vote of no confidence from Saudis -Worsened munitions shortage -More US casualties -No concessions from Iran -Now poised to surrender My latest, in @ms.now

Opinion | Iran’s Hormuz deal with Oman has Trump poised for the big surrender

Nicholas Grossman: Trump started bombing Iran again to keep it from having control over the Strait of Hormuz. That gambit failed — again.

The war in Iran has shown that Trump’s inability to perceive reality has become truly dangerous. Iran is a disaster, but Trump’s irrationality could create other, even more perilous situations. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Trump’s Irrationality Is Dangerous

The president’s recent rant is a sign of serious dysfunction in the Oval Office.

The tricky part for a future Dem Admin is going to be finding a way to divest the US govt from these companies without tanking their stock price & hurting them over the long term. What Trump is doing is a fundamental tenet of communism while he distracts by claiming Dems are.

I asked former Republican Congressman Denver Riggleman why he thinks Trump is clinging to discredited claims about the Reflecting Pool ====>

To the 32% still supporting Donald Trump: history is going to remember you as some of the dumbest fucking people who ever lived.

We are watching, in real time, the biggest fuck-up by any president in the history of the United States of America.

No one in history has had more attorneys disbarred on their behalf than this psychopath. And you can’t pardon a disbarment.
