The Daily Show reminded us in the montage below how Netanyahu has LIED about the "imminent" threat of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons since 1995. Netanyahu has for years wanted US to bomb Iran. Netanyahu simply found in Trump a moron willing to sacrifice Americans for his cause:

Trump’s Case for War With Iran Faces Growing Scrutiny U.S. intelligence showed threats from Iran loomed, as they had for years. But they were not imminent.

"U.S. officials and lawmakers with access to classified information ... say the administration’s assertions are incomplete, unsubstantiated, or flat-out wrong."

- Wall Street Journal

Trump during a press conference on Iran:

“See that nice drape?…In about 1.5 years you’re gonna see a very very beautiful building...I picked those drapes. I always liked gold. I believe it will be the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world”

DOJ Examined Men in Epstein’s Orbit Accused of Sex Crimes. None Were Charged. Several women told investigators after Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 death that they were sexually abused by his associates. The Justice Department has said the files include unverified allegations.

"Multiple women alleged to prosecutors that they were sexually assaulted by high-profile associates of Jeffrey Epstein, according to the recently released Epstein files. None of the men were charged."

Maj. Gen. Randy Manner (Ret.): "It's a little bit disheartening to hear that the UK govt is arranging transport for the British citizens, whereas here as Americans we feel abandoned. The State Dept is in survival mode because as we know the administration reduced their budget by almost half."

Starmer on Trump's criticism of the UK not getting involved in the strikes on Iran

"It is my duty to judge what is in Britain's national interest. That is what I have done. And I stand by it"

Is he drunk?

I really feel it’s irresponsible to not include the fact that it’s *totally ineffective* against cancer in the post text and headline here

Ukraine Depended on Western Weaponry. Now That Script Has Flipped. Kyiv’s European allies are snapping up its military know-how as they seek to build up their own defenses.

Ukraine’s European allies are snapping up its military know-how as they seek to build up their own defenses.

The billionaires’ kids will pay no price. But American kids have already died for a war of vanity and choice. A war that will result in hardline leadership remaining in Iran and no meaningful impact on their nuclear program. A likely moral and strategic disaster.

Vladimir Putin is caught in a vice of his own making Russia’s president cannot win the war, but fears peace

The chances are waning that Vladimir Putin’s armies in Ukraine will produce something he can call victory. But Russia’s president cannot give up. We explain why

The Week Ahead February 27, 2026

Lots of tails wagging lots of dogs this week. Trump clearly wants you to forget there are documents about him missing from the Epstein files. But I devote most of this piece to a quiet phenomenon: federal judges, declaring war on ICE open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

They don’t have an end game.

zendaya and tom reportedly got married recently. mazel! (but years ago we all knew it was for keeps)

Apparently #CNN reporting that trumps latest interview in the NYT, he says current USA casualties may be significantly higher than first reported.

We need answers and we need to know what’s REALLY going on.

“I'll follow your casket
By the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead”

“Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon….”

The irony if all his bluster about regime change in Iran results in regime change here in the U.S, because things don’t appear to be going too well for Trump in this EPIC FUCKUP. #Iran

Epstein’s Zorro Ranch is the target of 2 new investigations launched by the Epstein Truth Commission and the New Mexico Attorney General:

A Reuters/Ipsos poll finds only 27% of Americans approve of the military attacks. 43% disapprove.

NEWS: In 2019, the Trump DOJ took over New Mexico’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch — telling the state to stand down and turn over its findings. According to officials and newly unsealed records, the probe soon fizzled after the federal takeover. Link to NYT reporting in reply.

What if we can relate and judge you in a good way? 😉

“We’re winning so much, I can’t take it anymore.”

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

This Weekend in Politics, Bulletin 318. … US Central Command: “3 US service members have been killed in action and 5 are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury. Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions.

3 U.S. troops are dead. Trump says “there will likely be more.” The war is now spreading across the region. Get the latest in our Weekend Bulletin — no paywall on these critical updates.

It’s up to #2 now.
