America: if we want to be a country that protects children, we have a lot of work to do.

Iโ€™ve watched NBC News - there was not a single mention of the attack on the school that killed Iranian girls on Saturday.

Has any other channel mentioned it? Aside from a quick AP/Reuters blurb and the UNESCO statement, I havenโ€™t seen much coverage.. at least in the US.

If you believe even the dumbest among us have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness then you must provide the safeguards to prevent them from killing the rest of us.

A country surrounded by the ocean, with active geothermal zones, buffeted by winds and basking in sunshine should not be relying on tanker loads of oil, gas and coal shipped half way across the world to run its energy network.

In the last 5 years China has installed 1.3 terawatts of renewables, 11GW of Nuclear, 220GW of coal and 70GW of gas.

China is in the energy race while the West is in wars* over old technology.

* Actual wars and propaganda.

Exactly. Blindly hooting for the Buffoon-in-Chief as he unlawfully orders airstrikes without a coherent plan isn't a foreign policy, and isn't patriotic; it's just stupid, and dangerous.

The wisest among us have always recognized religion as nothing more than the ability to control the masses from the time of the cave. It is evil presented as the most desirable good making it acceptable to those without the will or acumen to understand.

Trump's Unauthorized Strikes on Iran Take America's Imperial Presidency to New Heights Khamenei's departure is nothing to mourn but regime change might require more than air strikes

โ€œArticle I of the Constitution gives Congress the exclusive power to declare war. This attack is very obviously large enough to qualify as a war. That means it just as obviously requires congressional authorization.โ€

Can I ask why everyone still, in 2026, cares about gas prices as a consequence of bad policy?

We should be so far into the renewable energy transition that gas prices just shouldnโ€™t really matter anymore.
