Pentagon Destroys Trump’s Main Defense on Iran Strikes

It turns out President Trump’s rationale for striking Iran isn’t true.

Inside the Pentagon, and among some members of the Trump administration, there is deepening concern that the Iran conflict could spiral out of control, sources say. -WaPo

The Pentagon confirmed there was NO sign that Iran was going to attack the U.S.

… a compelling storyline. The types of martial arts practiced by all of the masters are just so fucking cool. The “problem”—the prophecy doesn’t seem to be “correct”—is unique and thought-provoking. The world-building and cultures of the peoples in conflict are also very strong. Read it.

Going to the Landscaping with Colorado Native Plants Conference was a good way to meet up with folks with common interests who are working for the betterment of our communities and environment. My favorite session was the keynote with Dr. Rosalyn LaPier. #nativeplants

In February 2025, I saw or heard 18 spp. I believe the reason for so many more birds this year were twofold: super warm temps, with some birds migrating early. And I think I’m a more diligent observer now.

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

Here’s a thought for James Comer.

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.
