Armed gun owners in VA showed up outside the State Capitol in Richmond this afternoon to rally against new gun control measures. Governor Spanberger is due to sign into law a ban on the sale of assault weapons & large capacity magazines in the state.

Oh, and the larger the gun the smaller the penis

The Crew That Never Came Home Six airmen lost over Iraq — and the quiet sacrifice carried by those who fly into danger.

As a retired pilot, this one hits close to home.

Six American airmen lost their lives over Iraq this week.

They were young. They had dreams. They chose to serve anyway.

A few thoughts on their sacrifice — and the price of war.

The US expecting the world to bail it out of its war of choice is the height of imperial arrogance.

We should all tell America to go fuck themselves. Over everything.

Buttigieg: "We lived through a war that was sold to us on false pretenses when I was younger. This war has not been sold on any pretense. The president just went ahead and did it."

It’s important to keep in mind that almost everything we hear from the US, Israel, and Iran about the Iran War is propaganda of some kind.

The first casualty of war is the truth.

If I have the administration's current argument right, they have achieved a clear and decisive victory in Iran *and* they desperately need other countries to come bail them out of the mess they've made?

How We’re All Now Paying the Price for the Myth of Trump’s Competence The administration’s war with Iran is setting a mountain of taxpayer dollars on fire every day—mostly because he doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Can we please stop with the "Israel has a right to exist"?

Let's put aside for a moment that countries are legal fictions and no country has a "right to exist" because rights are for PEOPLE. Right now, Israel exists. It exists so much that right now it exists in Lebanon, Palestine, and Iran.

Zelenskyy: "Putin never wanted to stop the war. America has to make big pressure on Putin or he will not negotiate. Of course the situation in Iran gives him more money, and the process of taking off the sanctions also is helpful for him. It gives him more assurance that he can continue the war."

Every Trump admin answer about the war is PRECISELY why no previous president has ever been dumb enough to start exactly this war with Iran.

Like all of this — all of it! — is why everyone else considered this too stupid to attempt.

Study: Russia made $6–7B extra in the first 10–14 days as oil prices rose.

If oil reaches $120 per barrel (realistic). It would take Russia about 140 to 160 days to generate $100B in extra revenue.

Meanwhile, the "historic" EU’s €90B loan for Ukraine, meant to last two years, is still blocked.

Given how well Trump’s war with Iran is going, it’s a safe bet that he’s getting his briefings from the same Russians who advised Putin that his war with Ukraine would last 3 days.

Remember when Trump treated President Zelenskyy like shit in the Oval Office? Now he’s wanting help from Ukraine and other allies. Let this be a lesson, stop treating people like they are beneath you or some fucking mule to do your bidding. Respect is earned!
