These service members did not die for โ€œfreedomโ€, and any in the future who perish due to this misguided war will not be dying for โ€œfreedomโ€.

They died and will continue to die because Donald Trump is fully compromised by foreign leaders across the region.

The blood of patriots wasted by tyrants.

Updated strike map.

Notable new strike locations include:
--> The French Naval Base in Abu Dhabi,
--> Port of Duqm in Oman,
--> Tabriz North Missile Base in northern Iran.

Note: Only an approximate 4% of claimed strikes on Iran have been confirmed and marked.

If the POTUS isnโ€™t responsible for an exit strategy, then he shouldnโ€™t be gifted the responsibility to authorize military strikes or strategies.

Trump's decision to conduct a series of strikes against Iran's ballistic and nuclear missile facilities came at the behest of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who had been lobbying for the strikes for weeks, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.

But since she asked,

"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."

Excerpt from The Guardian story, featuring midterm candidates looking to change the Democratic party. Copy on excerpt reads:

HEADLINE: "'Are you willing to fight back?: Democrats ready to take on party's old guard ahead of midterms"

Photo of Kat showcased holding a stack of yard signs. Copy below reads: 

"Another test case is Illinois' deep blue 9th District, where Kat Abughazaleh, 26, a progressive Palestinian American, is taking on a Democratic establishment she accuses of complacency and cowardice."

Excerpt from The Guardian story, featuring midterm candidates looking to change the Democratic party. Copy on excerpt reads: 

"Abughazaleh believes that Democrats have long failed to meet the moment of taking on the far right. For her and many progressive challengers across the country, countering the Trump administration is inextricably linked to combating the influence of groups such as Aipac and challenging the corporate status quo.

Abughazaleh said: "I even see it in my own campaign where there are local leaders and elected officials that call me before endorsing one of my opponents, apologetically saying, I love what you're doing but I'm feeling a lot of pressure to endorse this way or the other. They feel that pressure in the first place instead of being able to stick to their values and it's a shame that we have a party that makes people feel like that."

"I don't know how many times we have to keep doing the same thing over and over and over again of insisting that we have to be more moderate, that we have to move to the right," Abughazaleh added, arguing that policies ensuring affordable housing, groceries and healthcare should represent the political centre."

You donโ€™t beat the far right with moderation. You have to confront it.

Career politicians are unequipped to handle this moment. Itโ€™s time for them to step aside.

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

Took some time from doomscrolling to tweak the truss rod, adjust the intonation, and dress the sharp fret edges.
I need to lower the nut height a bit, but I lost my chainsaw files. That will be a problem for future me, but it sounded great last night at rehearsal, and again woodshedding today.

Because we are ruled by ignorant, hateful Islamophobes and racists, here's a scenario they probably didn't plan...

The Ayatollah is also a religious leader for many Shias around the world, including Bahrai, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan and Yemen.

If this is framed as a religous war...then?
