Rep. Adam Smith, top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, says the president started a war in “the most cavalier manner in U.S. history.”

No address. No briefing. No notice to Congress—just an 8‑minute post at 2 AM, and then silence.

CNN’s chyron gives the game away: green arrows for oil profits, red arrows for everyone else. This is an unnecessary war of choice that turns human lives into a line item on an oil company’s balance sheet.

Texas to fix 4,200 errors in Bible-infused Bluebonnet curriculum Taxpayers will bear the cost of fixing errors in learning materials published by the Texas Education Agency. The curriculum has drawn attention for its references to Christianity and the Bible.

That vertigo you feel is us circling the toilet.

In 11/24, Texas approved a new curriculum that favored Christianity over other faiths. More than 300 school districts adopted it. Schools received additional state funding for doing so.

It needed 4K+ corrections

Republicans are radically cruel, crazy, and corrupt.

Democrats MUST NOT be radically feckless and weak.

When a governing party has no heart or head it is imperative "We the People" collectively stop creasing our butts and get off the fence.

Strong and wrong always wins over farts in the wind.

Live Updates: U.S. Attacks Iran as Trump Calls for Overthrow of Government

I kept repeating it:

➡️They need ICE to distract us from the E-Files.

➡️They need the E-Files to distract us from ICE.

NOW THEY CRY HAVOV AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR TO DISTRACT US FROM ALL OF IT.

2025: Trump said we obliterated Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
2026: he warned of bombing if they didn’t stop their nuclear ambitions. Hmmm obliterated or a threat?

So why is he really bombing Iran, now? Is operation “Epic Fury” an attempt to take our minds off the Epstein Files? If so, Epic Fail.

Instead of “ending war in 24 hours”, Trump has begun one. The anti-Muslim rhetoric in Minnesota was most likely planned for just this purpose.
