I’m taking today off for a late birthday mental health day (I’ll be working again later tonight). I had to go see this one because it made me think of what our founding fathers would think of the U.S. today. 💔🇺🇸
Happy Birthday Liza Minnelli! I share the same birthday along with Girl Scouts of America! I have nothing planned for today but I'm hoping to make it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art tomorrow (It's supposed to rain today) How old am I? Generation X! 😉

Last week Jessica Tarlov explained the many inconsistencies in the Trump admin's explanations about the war in Iran. Tarlov also mentioned stranded Americans in the Middle East. I've include an excerpt of a segment from PBS that demonstrates exactly what she was talking about.
Tyrus, a retired professional wrestler, claimed Trump had a great record of avoiding wars. Earlier in the week a Fox News correspondent pointed out that Trump has used the U.S. military to attack seven countries in three continents.
Jack Carr, former Navy SEAL, was asked what he thought of Russia giving Iran intelligence about U.S. forces. He said a lot but didn't really make much of a point except to downplay it. He also compared the war to a UFC match - no kidding.
Sean Hannity praised Steve Witkoff for his excellent negotiations skills. Witkoff is a real estate developer with no diplomatic experience before Trump put him and his son-in-law Jared Kushner in charge of deals with Iran, Russia and Hamas. Two billionaire real estate developers...not diplomats.
Greg Gutfeld thinks that Trump is a master of strategy and planning even though the excuses for starting a war with Iran have changed multiple times since it started. Trump also bankrupted multiple casinos and has a long history of failed business ventures.

This clip from last week is a great example of why morning television news hosts should probably not discuss a war without an expert or at least a war correspondent handy.
During Trump's speech at the Congressional Institute he boasted that The SAVE ACT would help ensure one party rule for Republicans. He also oddly referred to a girl older than six-years-old as 'of age.'
This is an edit of Trump's speech at the Congressional Institute. He does not sound like he's taking the war in Iran seriously. Seven U.S. service members and over 1200 Iranians, including women and children, have already died.
During his press conference Trump repeatedly insisted that Iran. His sources were his son-in-law, some cabinet members and his 'belief' Trump offered few details and no proof. He believed it so it must be true.
Trump apparently spoke with Vladimir Putin today but didn't mention that Russia is giving Iran intelligence that could harm our troops. You'd think that would be more of a big deal.
I will be on The Jim Acosta Show @jimacosta.bsky.social today at 5PM on Substack. We will be talking about the screw up on Fox News with the dignified transfer among other things.
Someone should tell Brian Kilmeade that Trump was president for FOUR YEARS after Barack Obama. If Trump wanted to make major changes during his first term with our military and the Middle East he could have done it then.
The idea that he promotes wacky things like beef tallow and goes to tanning beds. He’s Irish and has heavily tanned skin. I have no idea how he hasn’t at least gotten basal cell. I have so many relatives who have some form of skin cancer.
I’ve had friends die from cancer before 50 who had incredibly healthy lifestyles. Cancer is so incredibly random. There’s so many factors that can cause it that we have no control over. I’m glad you survived it.
Eat whatever you want but I haven’t eaten meat since 1991 and I absolutely do not miss it. This article would probably cause RFK Jr. to lose his mind. 🤣

Ainsley Earhardt wants to tell the naysayers that Iran was on the brink of making nuclear weapons. President Trump has boasted for months that he obliterated Iran's nuclear program with Operation Midnight Hammer. I guess there were some nails left the Hammer missed. 🤷♀️
Lawrence Jones, an employee of a propaganda machine, warns Democrats not to feed Iranian propaganda by commenting on reality. Americans hate wars in the Middle East and increased fuel prices. Also what was Fox doing when Biden was president? Creating anti-American propaganda.
The folks on Fox & Friends almost grasped how commodities markets work as they discussed why disruptions in the Middle East have caused a sharp spike in the price of oil. This exact same pattern has happened for decades. Fear of shortages is enough to cause a rise in prices
While Brian Kilmeade was quoting Trump telling tankers to just take the risk and transport crude oil in a war zone someone at Fox News thought it was a good idea to pair his words with images of billowing plumes of black smoke and massive fires across Iran.
Ainsley Earhardt quoted the President as saying the increased gasoline prices were a "small price to pay for the United States and the world for safety and peace." He also said he obliterated Iran's nuclear program in June 2025 so 🤷♀️
The Warfighter Experience!
Lawrence Jones seemed befuddled that the other Middle East nations didn't want to join in the fight. Why would they fight when the U.S. started the conflict. A larger regional war would likely be a huge disaster. Was it part of the plan to add other countries?
Rep. Carlos Gimenez on the "political hit" of Trump's war: "You gotta pay the price to have long-term stability in oil and long-stability not only in the Middle East but around the world. You gotta pay the price. If it takes four weeks, then so be it. If it takes a bit longer, then so be it."
