Well, the attack on Iran will end up killing thousands and raise gas prices while strengthening Russia, but at least it won't distract from the fact that the President of the United States raped children. Jesus Christ, we are in hell.

Strongly suspect that as this war and its negative effects escalate, we're gonna see a massive increase in disinfo and unsourced "news" - starting right the hell now.

PLEASE don't share "breaking" news from rando or disreputable accounts who provide no links.

Helluva way for the president to refer to dead soldiers β€” soldiers killed in a war he started.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

🧡Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/

Makes perfect sense. Help make an atrocity on American soil more likely. This will give him an excuse to suspend the Constitution and cancel elections which is what he's itching for. Bingo. Probably has his Crown designed, cast and gold plated already.

Iran retaliated with missile and drone bombardments against U.S. bases and allied territory, targeting military facilities across the Gulf, including Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. One Iranian drone killed six American service members at a U.S. command center in Kuwait. Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. β€œI guess,” he says. β€œBut I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."

Donald Trump’s White House is blocking top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about rising threats to the homeland tied to his war with Iran, the Daily Mail can reveal.

The FBI, Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center were preparing to put out a joint intelligence statement on Friday to state and local authorities alerting them of a heightened threat due to the ongoing war in Iran, a senior DHS official said.

The bulletin, which was reviewed by the Daily Mail, details 'elevated threats by the government of Iran to US military and government personnel and facilities, Jewish and Israeli institutions and their perceived supporters, and Iranian dissidents and other anti-regime activists in the United States.'

'Radicalized individuals with a variety of ideological backgrounds also may see this conflict or other geopolitical events as a justification for violence,' the report continues.

The five-page bulletin blocked by the White House provides specific details on how Iranian proxies may carry out attacks across the country. One section explains how local law enforcement can respond to this type of violence.

The official title is 'A Public Safety Awareness Report: Elevated threat in the United States during US-Iran conflict'. 

Homeland Security broke protocol and gave the White House a heads-up about the nationwide bulletin hours before it was set to be released. 

Top Trump officials ordered it placed on β€˜hold’. The White House did not deny blocking the terror bulletin in a statement to the Daily Mail.

Their mission was always suspect. GWB was in the running for β€œWorst POTUS EVER” until the oathbreaker Trump came along. The reasons were pretty much the same - aspirations of fascism among them (β€œIf this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator.")

An original Nashville sit-in member, along with Diane Nash, James Bevel, and John Lewis. Trained in non-violence by James Lawson. At age 21, he signed a will before the Freedom Rides, knowing he could die.

May his soul be at peace, and may we all have such courage in the face of oppression.

My assumption is he’s hoping they do, so he can ride the resulting wave of patriotic fervor into permanent despotic power.

I’m hoping he’s wrong about that wave.

Petty, I know, but I was looking at a pic of Pete β€œWifebeater” Hegseth (something I try to avoid), and now Iβ€˜m wondering when putting greasy kid stuff in your hair came back.

Hegseth & co. aren’t Americans in any traditional cultural sense, they’re body snatchers, pod people. They absolutely loathe America and intend to destroy and replace it. The image of America as one of large liberal multicultural cities like NYC where the majority of Americans live is intolerable.

How a DHS shooting of a third U.S. citizen went unnoticed for months No state or federal agency disclosed that a Homeland Security Investigations agent had killed Ruben Ray Martinez until it was revealed in a public records request.

How many more immigration assassinations are being hidden from the American people? How many more violent, masked thugs are being protected from legal consequences? When this god-awful period of our lives is over, we’re going to shake every part of our government loose.

Democrats want ICE agents to take their masks off for one reason: to keep Americans safe.

From killing citizens to creating violent chaos in our communities β€” ICE's lawlessness must be reined in.

That starts with commonsense guardrails.

I’m enjoying reading the comments/guesses/explanations. I’m also enraged at the oathbreaker Donald Trump’s patronizing tone. HE’s the one who needs to make progress. He won’t, of course.
