US troops were told war on Iran was โall part of Godโs divine planโ
Religious freedom group says 200 troops sent complaints of superiors using extremist Christian rhetoric to justify war
One soldier was told that โPresident Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran',
Every time I say itโs insane โ given his lack of experience โ to expect Reza Pahlavi to run even a transition for a country as complex as Iran โ a country surrounded by Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey, and the Persian Gulf states, with terrorist organizations and armed groups inside its borders and more than ten significant ethnic groups โ someone replies: โOh yeah? Like Khamenei had experience? Like Khomeini had experience in 1979?โ Isnโt the whole point that we donโt want to make the mistakes of the past? Obviously, Iโm not comparing Reza Pahlavi to these men in terms of ideology โ but how is it an appropriate response to say, โWell, what about those awful guys?โ
Losing my mind!

Excerpts from story:
In countries around the world, leaders are being held accountable for enabling Jeffrey Epsteinโs horrific crimes and abuse of minors. But in America, Donald Trumpโs Justice Dept. is still hiding 47,635 files โ including those containing allegations of serious misconduct against Trump.

Kemi Badenoch is incapable of anything other than 'attack dog' mode. She has all the gravitas of a student debater, winging it on the basis of her under-researched notes, and seems to think that by the sheer force of her condescension Starmer will be crushed into submission. No.

If you're opposition leader and there's a crisis, you sometimes have to just take one of the team and spend a week looking vaguely supportive and statesperson-like.
Starmer: "Moments like this define a leader of the opposition."
Useful #PMQs thread from @peterwalker99.bsky.social . Many thanks.

'Why isn't he doing anything?!'
Starmer replies saying he has been pre-deploying kit to the region over several weeks. Boom.

I've never observed a wider gap between self-confidence and lack of any actual understanding than in Badenoch. On other topics it can be comical, but when it extends to undermining gov't on matters of national security, in breach of established conventions, it is profoundly dangerous. #PMQs

Kemi called Labour MPs a 'sea of orcs and goons' at PMQs. The Tories are being led by a phone-addicted 10 year old.

The Brexit tendency seem to be absolutely losing their minds over the government's refusal to get bullied by America into an illegal war.
Quite something from the people who wanted "independence" and to "take back control."
The Oversight Committee will subpoena Pam Bondi where sheโll have to answer questions on her egregious handling of the Epstein Files. Good!!

This is truly embarrassing. The stupid right-wing affirmative action program at the University of Iowa is offering two incoherent sets of random lectures as "classes." They are 1 credit courses that are pass/fail only.
