Presumably right around now it is dawning on Noem that she probably won't get a pardon at the end of the administration and so is going to be entirely unshielded from prosecution by the next.

The US media will be running the apocalyptic stories about rising fuel prices they did in 2024 any moment… now….

At root this is the most depraved thing about right wing evangelical Christianity: asking god for forgiveness is about meaning it and proving through your actions that you mean it, not β€œGod whispered to me that I’m all good so shut the fuck up about it already lol”

I once drove along the Azerbaijani border with Iran. Let’s just say, very interesting stuff, including a gigantic radar dome that completely fried my car’s GPS.

Suddenly, its turns out that it is not smart to arrogantly shit on an ally that has learned how to down 200 Shaheds every single night and then wipe out and oil refinery or a military airfield with a handful of cheap drones.

Nigel Farage starts his speech launching his parties manifesto for WALES by talking about Iran and complaining that Gorton and Denton by-election was "rigged".

Telling that he has mentioned Saddam Hussain more than Wales in the first 5 mins of his speech...

Department of Defense video shows US torpedo attack on Iranian ship A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean, as Washington and Israel intensified their bombardment Wednesday of Iran's security forces and other symbols of power.

It's safe to assume that at least part of all DoD targeting decisions under Hegseth are in order to create content.

Iran attacks show the perils of following America’s economic lead [FREE TO READ] A growth plan of renewable energy and diversified trade is far better than guzzling fossil fuels and aligning with the US

My Trade Secrets today. Latest superpower energy offers to emerging markets:

China - cheap green tech to wean you off hydrocarbons.
US - coercion into trade deal to buy US fossil fuels, then huge chaotic war creating global oil shock.

Pet take that the reputation and long term viability of Dubai and Abu Dhabi as global centres of power would be strengthened if a lot of these mercenary rentiers were moved on to the next legal black hole

The Israeli strategy simply seems to be β€œKeep killing the Supreme Leader until Iran runs out of mullahs, and all the other issues are somebody else’s problem”

There’s a serious point though that support for Israel in the US is slipping, unfortunately it’s giving license to some very toxic people.

If Donald asks Zelensky for anti drone systems, he better wear a suit, ask nicely and say thank you.

You can β€œrestore order at the border” by funding claims processing properly, and going after employers who exploit migrants but that doesn’t poll well with people who’ll never vote for you anyway!

It’s a little-known fact about Kemi Badenoch that years ago she must have suffered a traumatic brain injury that has left her completely unable to recall any event after 2002. That may sound ridiculous, but once you know it, it explains an awful lot about British politics. 

Take, for instance, Wednesday’s Prime Minister’s Questions. The Tory leader demanded to know why Britain wasn’t joining the Americans in attacking Iran. That’s a brilliant question if, like Badenoch β€” and apparently her entire team β€” you have absolutely no knowledge of β€œUK Involvement With Events in the Middle East: 2003 to Present Day”. Otherwise, even the most slow-witted MP would get a pretty handy clue from the first three letters of the target country’s name.
