"It's the Economy, Stupid" still rules America.

So many businesses are struggling with the tariffs and now add the fuel costs for shipping. Many businesses won’t survive this war.

I just saw a picture of one of our bases in Iraq totally engulfed in flames. I keep thinking about Battlestar Galactica in that we have been attacked from within. The amount of loss from this war that when it finally is reported on will devastate our nation. Trump will use it seize more power.

I think destabilizing our society is part Trump’s goal.

Other than a few people I know the majority of people are not paying any attention to this war. Even in Church there is little to no mention of anything that is happening. Most of the early comments I saw online with the footage of the Oil Fields bombed last night in Tehran was that it was AI.

Nearly $1 billion in US tax dollars to fight a war to benefit Netanyahu when Americans need this $ for healthcare, food, housing, etc!

I keep seeing reports of possible ground troops going in. This keeps escalating as a pretty fast pace. The footage from there is devastating. God help us all.

Regular gas in my area has gone up $0.50 a gallon in about three days. No telling how bad this will get the Summer.

I have seen in a few places that the death toll for US soldiers is higher than what is being reported. If we put boots on the ground the number will be higher.

On the plus side, Kristi Noem just got more free time to finally catch those Dalmatians

REMINDER: Hiring in 2025 was the weakest outside of a recession in 2002. We are sliding into a recession--especially if oil prices continue to spike because that will cause inflation across the board. Thank Trump and the GOP!!

The economic story just changed dramatically.

Payrolls fell -92k in Feb. Jan growth was revised down by -4k to +126k. And Dec revisions subtracted -64k to -17k.

Unemployment rate up a tick to 4.4%.

Recession questions are back on the menu

We just blew up an Iranian ship in international waters and left all of the survivors to drown.

This is who we are now.

I am already seeing friends who normally would be against this war fall in line behind it to support the troops. They should be opposed to the war and protest it so the troops come home sooner. Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Iran. A bad trilogy of wars. Iran will end just as badly as the other ones did.

Crenshaw had some extreme policies and stances and the guy that beat him is worse.

If we send troops into Iran it will be worse than Iraq and Afghanistan combined. We are not prepared for this war.

She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. β€” Assigned A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

Trump will eventually abandon all of these places like he did his casinos or people/wives/family etc when they no longer serve a purpose for him. Everything Trump touches dies.

Everything Trump touches gets destroyed. We will be dealing with this for the rest of our lives. Congress needs to take control of this country or we will lose everything. All of these nations will eventually come for us. The oceans won’t protect us.

Republicans would love a new Draft for a War. They could reshape our society faster to their twisted vision of reality.

Jared then that negates me from having anyone to vote for for the rest of my life. Only Democrats can get elected in my region if I want to seriously defeat this Authoritarian regime peacefully.
