They’ve shown us their regard for children in Gaza and the Epstein files.

Our lives are expendable to the elites.

Modern tyranny is terror management.
I wrote this essay in April 2025 and updated it in November. I'm posting it again now because my fear of this scenario has continued to grow.

Why Attack Iran? Our Authoritarianism and Our Corruption

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.

Oh, the places his ego will go!

I have a bad case of regime change envy.

It took me a minute. But I’m laughing now.

US-Israeli strike on girls' school kills at least 85 students, Iran's judiciary says At least 85 students have been killed in US-Israeli strikes that hit an Iranian girls' school in Hormozgan province, Iran's judiciary said on Saturday. Washington has not commented on the reported str...

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

Yep.

Not HGTV! That malevolent narcissist ruins everything!

Screenshot of tweet by dweeb congressman Mike Lawler reading: Given the situation in the Middle East and the potential for Iran and its terrorist proxies to attempt some type of attack, it is imperative that @SenSchumer and @RepJeffries immediately drop all opposition to funding the Department of Homeland Security and pass the funding bill.

He and Trump are birds of an evil feather.

BREAKING — 51 Iranian children are dead after a strike hits Minab girls elementary school in Iran.

American Taliban

I guess that will save me some money on subscriptions.

Der Buffet

What else would you expect from state-sponsored media?

So much better than the cold quarter-pounders Trump likely offered.

Brands are stepping up. This Flavor Flav ⏰ Vegas party celebrating our Olympic and Paralympic women athletes is going to be epic.

Shocking! 😁

Trump’s SOTU Speech Was Bad. The Actual State of Our Union Is Worse Trump’s 108-minute speech broke records for its duration as well as its lies, insufferability, offensiveness, and the danger its contents present for the future of the country.

Trump’s speech was a tsunami of lies and hate wrapped in jingoism and cheered on by fascist goons. But it was worse than that.

Bravo. Thank you for brilliantly summarizing the speech I couldn’t bear to watch.
