'I was stunned': Ex-CIA senior official left 'speechless' by Marco Rubio's 'stupid' move

The U.S. military should NEVER be used to fight wars on religious grounds!

America is still, at heart, a war-weary nation and has been for a couple of decades now.

You are unbelievably sexy!

Laura Loomer's hateful rhetoric should have no place whatsoever in American society.

As a result, any attempt by Trump to present himself as a serious wartime leader comes across as unserious and awkward.

Trump is an absolutely AWFUL leader for a wartime situation. Trump isn't really a war hawk at heart (he has some isolationist/anti-war tendencies and prefers to negotiate with enemies), but he definitely has the bravado of a war hawk.

Unfortunately a war of this scale was likely to result in American deaths

My condolences to the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice

I’m also thinking of all those service members in the region

Let us hope this ends soon and they can come back home

• THE NEWS Paramount is trying to distance itself from a former CBS television personality who is publicly attacking the network's rightward turn. In recent months, multi-season Survivor contestant Eliza Orlins has shared posts criticizing some of the network's programming decisions, including casting pro-Trump contestants on Survivor, cancelling late-night host Stephen Colbert, and CBS News' choice to shelve a 60 Minutes piece on US deportation of Venezuelan migrants to a notorious El Salvadoran prison. Last year, Orlins posted an "exposé" on her Patreon page about Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick, noting her pro-Trump posts and previous skepticism of the Covid-19 vaccine. The post prompted LaGrossa Kendrick to respond in an Instagram Live rant: "Don't come at me with your political status when you're f*cking Jewish and your parents are 1% of the population of wealth." The posts on social media - and the backlash to LaGrossa Kendrick, who later apologized for her remarks — seemed to get the attention of CBS' parent company, Paramount, which requested a meeting with Orlins earlier this year, Semafor has learned. During the meeting, the network suggested that Orlins was violating its rules around trademarked branding and phrases on her Patreon. But the legal representatives also urged Orlins to respect other contestants, and implied that her political posts were harming other contestants. Paramount did not respond to a request for comment. A CBS source familiar with the conversation said the call focused on the trademark issue, and said the call was not the result of Orlins' political statements about the network.

TW: Antisemitism, bigotry

So Paramount is distancing itself from Eliza Orlins, but not Stephenie LaGrossa who was disgustingly antisemitic and seems pretty hateful all around. Did I get that right? 😒

Good riddance to that tyrant Khamenei.

However, I greatly fear that the United States is about to be dragged into another military quagmire thousands of miles away from home in violation of the War Powers Act. I am also horrified to learn of the inexcusable mass murder of schoolchildren in Iran.

No congressional approval, American troops being thrust into danger with no plan for what’s next.

In just the first two months of 2026, the US invaded one country to arrest and imprison their president (while pardoning another foreign president serving time in the U.S. for the exact same crime) and then started a war with another country, killed that country’s leader and immediate family.

Screenshot of a Tweet by Marjorie Taylor Greene, reposting a tweet that shows a street in Tehran and a bombed out school, with her commentary: "I did not campaign for this. I did not donate money for this. I did not vote for this, in elections or Congress. This is heartbreaking and tragic. And how many more innocent will die? What about our own military? This is not what we thought MAGA was supposed to be. Shame!"

It's a weird place to find myself agreeing with Marjorie Taylor Greene, and yet here we are. War, especially illegal, unjustified, pointless wars, will do that.

WOW! You are unbelievably sexy!

I could really use some rough sex right now.

Although the U.S. is not in a ground war against the Iranian regime yet, a ground war against Iran would be, at best, another Afghanistan, or, at worst, an absolute disaster that I would never wish on any armed force.

Trump and Netanyahu have started World War III.

There was a much stronger legal case for Iraq 2003, even if you believe that case was weak

Three American officials with access to current intelligence about Iran’s missile programs said that Trump’s claims were purposely exaggerated. One added that some intelligence analysts have grown “concerned” that Trump’s top aides are inflating and distorting the threat to the U.S.

In 1991, Saddam Hussein sought to fracture the international coalition, which included Arab states, opposed to his invasion of Kuwait by launching Scud missiles into Israel. George H.W. Bush understood Israel entering the war could cause the conflict to spiral.

The current crop are flat out morons.

Israel’s offensive attacks must stop. Bombing does not bring security. It brings civilian deaths and regional chaos.

During Ramadan, this escalation is especially despicable.

We demand an immediate ceasefire. Protect civilians. Choose peace.

It sounds like the military accidentally shot down a customs and border patrol drone in El Paso.

Accidentally. With a laser.

How in the actual fuck?

I don't know how involved Oracle is in the AI space, but, if and when there's an AI bubble burst, the whole Paramount-Warner conglomerate (assuming the merger goes through in the first place) could go under.

A senior CBS News staffer expressed sympathy for employees at CNN who are frustrated and upset over the Paramount news. "I need to keep reminding myself it can - and will - always get worse," the staffer told me, adding that CNN staffers "should" be freaking out since "it's hell over here."

CNN has a solid, well-funded newsroom, regardless of the network’s editorial slant. a lot of good reporters will lose their jobs, and the public will lose all the stories they would’ve reported. and they are one of the last newsrooms to pay for costly but critical on the ground war correspondents.
