What's weirdly fascinating about all of this is how Russia is positioned to gain no matter which side wins or loses.

There's an alliance between Iran and Russia that includes intelligence sharing, among other things. Plus, Russia is able to sell its oil to the West sanctions be damned.

β€˜Medical conscience’ bills would let providers refuse more health care β€’ Idaho Capital Sun Legislation in at least eight states would expand the rights of doctors, nurses, hospitals and insurers to refuse to provide or pay for care.

Before Idaho enacted its law, Republican state Rep. Bruce Skaug said providers could decline to offer gender-affirming care and dispensing mind-altering drugs. #idleg #idpol

Rather than consolidating, Idaho budget committee eliminates all funding for two state agencies β€’ Idaho Capital Sun Rather than consolidate, JFAC eliminated all funding for the Office of Species Conservation and Office of Energy and Mineral Resources.

They planned to merge/rename the two offices: "Office of Species, Mineral and Energy Coordination," but eliminated them instead.

New report shows Idaho again facing projected budget deficit β€’ Idaho Capital Sun Although one state office is now projecting a budget deficit, the Idaho Division of Financial Management says it is too early to do so.

If Idaho legislators had not chosen to comply with Trump’s tax cuts retroactively, Idaho would not be facing another projected budget #deficit, Wintrow said

Empty store shelves at a Walmart in Meridian, Idaho, in March 2020. The COVID pandemic raged worldwide.

Empty store shelves at a Walmart in Meridian, Idaho, in March 2020. The COVID pandemic raged worldwide.

Bread shelves in a Kroger owned Fred Meyer supermarket in Meridian, Idaho, were empty due to panic buying and a cut in supplies in 2020 during the pandemic.

Flashback (03/12/20): Remember these days under Trump? Remember the "panic buying" that reached a fever pitch as the pandemic raged? Stores tacked signs to empty shelves limiting customers to one or two units of essential items like toilet paper or water.

War or Excursion?
When questioned on whether it was an "excursion" or a "war," Trump says, "It's both... It's an excursion that will keep us out of a war... for them, it's a war. For us, it's turned out to be easier than we thought."

He's rebranding the old Doublemint Twins slogan - "It's both."

This is about Madrid's refusal to allow U.S. forces to use Spanish military bases for strikes against Iran.

Spain wants no part of Trump’s disaster, nor do they want their people to become targets.

Q: Has the Trump Administration definitively responded to the question, how long will this war last?

A: No.

Trump (03/9) "soon."
Hegseth (03/10)Trump alone "gets to control the throttle."
Leavitt: (03/10) until "unconditional surrender."
