I’m a former high school drop out who was rescued by federal social service programs (Upward Bound). Ultimately completed MBA in finance and retired in 2021 after years in retail, energy, and state regulatory positions.

I don't believe anything Iran says about damage, casualties, or any thing.
I don't believe anything Israel says about damage, casualties, or anything
I don't believe anything Trump or US Government says about damage, casualties, or anything
That's the world we live in.

Trump has nearly secured his position as dictator.
He openly ignores courts and Congress.
He has a massive state propaganda network.
He has his own private army.
He has a controlled opposition party.
Intelligence and military have shown little pushback.
And he is working on elections.
The war was Bibi and MBS' idea.

Donald Trump just started a war and is plotting to steal the 2026 election. Meanwhile, his buddy David Ellison just won control of CNN.

The further good news on this is that there are really good candidates for Dems in all 3 of these districts, one of which is an open seat being vacated by 0% Black support John James, who is running for governor.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
The military industrial complex is cheering today.

No wonder Trump went to war with Iran in the dead of night, with the Capitol empty, most Americans soundly asleep
This war is illegal. Full stop. The worst abuse of presidential power in American history aims to cement a dictatorship on U.S. soil
My instant column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...
It’s not supporting the troops to send them off to kill and die in an illegal war of aggression whose purpose is to make sure that their votes don’t count.

ICE is a plague in our communities, stealing away our neighbors and terrorizing residents as they carry out their raids. There is nothing worth saving or reforming within ICE. WE MUST ABOLISH ICE.
Call your representatives and urge them to ABOLISH ICE for the safety of American communities.
A courageous and righteous statement from the first Iranian-American Democratic Congresswoman.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez challenges systems designed to exclude us. She refuses to shrink, soften or apologize.
When women stand firm, power trembles!
When one woman speaks boldly, millions feel less alone.
That’s not noise!
That’s leadership!

Naturally, the next step is to bomb, to destroy, to start wars. This is why he shouldn’t be in there. It’s far too easy to predict his violence. His downfall is global.
