The money behind the new Iran War In private calls over the last several weeks, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged President Trump to attack Iran.

1. According to multiple reports both Saudi Arabia and the UAE lobbied Trump to attack Iran.

Both countries have increased their influence with Trump by investing billions in projects that personally enrich Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

β€œNo stupid rules of engagement” is one for the history booksβ€”and not in a good way.

Whoaβ€”attacking Saudi’s core oil-refining infrastructure is crossing the reddest of red lines.

Assuming this attack by Iran is confirmed (and I see some media outlets reporting it), this will lead to continued and likely wider escalation.

And the downstream economic effects could be major.

Those three downed jets run around $90 million each.

It cost $20 million a year to operate the food kitchens serving 816,000 people in Sudan.

This is to be expected, the Secretary of Defense is a TV show host who doesn't know the legal name of his Department and can't function with a BAC <0.08.

Democrats denouncing this gratuitous, distractive war with Iran are not "siding with Iran;" they are siding with sanity and the Constitution.

It turns out you can just kill bad people and everything is fine.

Banning the words β€œfreedom” and β€œinnovation” would improve the clarity of our ruling class’ statements.

Doing this is generally frowned on in the races because it can and DOES kill people, and these guys are strapped in with top of the line safety gear. The fact cops can just *do it* is far more horrible than the average person generally thinks.

chatbots are fucking stupid and don't do what they're sold to do but in the process of doing that dumb fucking stupid shit they're buying up theoretical hardware that hasn't even been fucking made and making it impossible for you to buy a laptop without remortaging your house.

I don't understand this coordinated response of Dems going, "Trump owes us an explanation for attacking Iran!"

Do they expect his failure to provide one will produce a politically advantageous gotcha? Come on. Just say the war is stupid, wasteful and it should cease. Stop being weak and terrible.

The U.S. Released the Epstein Files. The Arrests Are Overseas.

This article should have made the basic point that other countries are governed by the rule of law. It’s not about β€œeagerness” to prosecute and it’s not a puzzle. It’s a marker of a deep US problem.

One more time, you are 100% free to use the term "USian" but you're not changing anyone's mind about imperialism and you're not driving us angry with an insult. You're just guaranteeing that no one here takes you seriously.

I block people who use it because it's clear they have nothing to say.
