A couple of threads tonight have got me thinking about the military planning for Trump's war on Iran.

How do they plan without clear objectives?

Did they pick and choose among his words, as the media does in sanewashing?

Did mil leaders construct something with Rubio and present it to Trump?

Screenshot of a statement from Rep. Tony Gonzales, reading: "At 18, I swore an oath to defend our nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic. During my 20 years in the military and three terms in Congress, I have fought for that cause with absolute dedication to the country that I love. From overcoming the border crisis to taking a stand with my communities after the worst school shooting in Texas’ history, my philosophy has never changed: do as much as you can, and always fight for the greater good. After deep reflection and with the support of my loving family, I have decided not to seek re-election while serving out the rest of this Congress with the same commitment I’ve always had to my district. Through the rest of my term, I will continue fighting for my constituents, for whom I am eternally grateful. God has a plan for all of us."

Embattled Rep. Tony Gonzales announces he's dropping out of the runoff resulting from his close second-place finish last Tuesday in his re-election primary.

(Does anybody believe Mike Johnson would have asked Gonzales to drop out if Gonzales had decisively won his primary?)

Kristi Noem Ran DHS Into the Ground. That’s Not Why She Got Fired. Kristi Noem just found Trump’s red line, becoming the first cabinet member to be fired in his second term. But it wasn’t for the reasons you’d think.

“Kristi Noem tried to upstage the President. And Trump would never stand for that. You can run an agency into the ground, and trample all over Americans’ constitutional rights, and use government funding like it’s your own personal slush fund. But you absolutely cannot steal Trump’s spotlight."

14 cases, that are known. DHS refuses to respond to inquiries.

“In response to the outbreak, the facility has been closed to visitors and legal advisers and isn’t expected to reopen until March 19”

She was not fired for her excesses. She was fired for his embarrassment.

Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die' In an interview with 'Time,' President Donald Trump acknowledged the possibility that Iran retaliates with attacks on U.S. soil, saying, 'We think about it all the time. We plan for it'

get a load of Kristi Noem's facial expressions as Rep. Kamlager-Dove enters articles in the congressional record with headlines like, "Lewandowski taking out trash at Noem's DC home" and "ICE Barbie's mile high private chamber with alleged lover exposed"

And canis interruptus?

I will miss Kristi Noem's inimitable constitutional insights, as when, asked by Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H. at a Senate hearing to define "habeas corpus," she replied, "Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."

"No stupid rules of engagement." — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, March 2, 2026

"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East." — Reuters, March 5, 2026
