I am tired of the Trump administration blaming Biden for the lack of munitions in their SMO because Biden gave so much to Ukraine. Most of what went to Ukraine was end of life and was going to be decommissioned/scrapped. The US replaced this equipment with new equipment for it's own use.

I will support more funding for Trump's Special Military Operation in Iran BUT he has to commit to staying in DC at the White House every day/weekend until the SMO has come to a successful conclusion and all troops are home safely. No trips to golf, anywhere. No trips to Mar a Lago.

Kushner and Whitkoff meet with Iran 3-4 times and decides they are not serious so the U.S. bombs Iran, BUT, they have been meeting to solve Ukraine for over a year and still refuse to believe that Putin is not serious about peace. The U.S. is clearly compromised so the EU should own negotiations.

Trump and Hegseth are playing with all of their toys: 1) F35 in a dog fight 2) Sub launching torpedoes for first time since WWII 3) Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) ballistic missiles used for first time I guess up next: 1) Tactical nuke 2) Jewish space lasers

I find the @cnn.com streaming app to be really frustrating. Why doesn't the streaming content always mirror the broadcast content? Why does it switch to headlines and international at times during the day. Why not just give me the option to pick the Headline or International stream separately?

I am so tired of Trump impacting my retirement accounts. He implements tariffs and the US markets lag the European markets, so I move more money to the European markets and start seeing returns. Now he launches a war in Iran and torches the European markets AND now the US markets.

It is astounding that the U.S., Israel, and the GCC countries have learned nothing from Ukraine and are panicking about running out of interceptor missiles after just 48 hours of conflict. This should be a very loud wake up call that countries must adapt to the modern theater of war.

For the most part everything that the Republican talking heads are using to justify the U.S. attack on Iran also applies to Russia as well, so how long is the Trump administration going to keep believing that Putin wants peace with Ukraine? Trump’s double standards are the height of hypocrisy. 🇺🇦

So Witkoff and Kushner tell Trump that Iran is not serious about an agreement and then the U.S./Israel bomb Iran, but after a year of discussions with Putin, Witkoff and Kushner still think that Putin wants peace while he sits safely in his golden palace. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Way to go Dems, we had a great night last night. I know you want to ride on this momentum, but can we please hold off on the texts and emails for a week, maybe ten days? I really need a break from being bombarded by everyone asking for money.

I like BlueSky and their generous link policy, but I am annoyed by links out to paywalled sites, especially when the site is actively generating ad revenue. Pick a lane: Ad revenue or Paywall P.S. I am unlikely to pay so....

You can amuse a cat by playing bird videos for them, lately I have found that you can amuse me by opening the Flightradar24 app and I will scroll around for hours looking at active flights and trying to guess the type of plane based on the plane icon size (I am not very accurate).
