A story that is not being told enough about the Iran War is that the U.S. and Israel have totally different, incompatible goals. The U.S. says itโ€™s targeting weapons systems. Israel wants regime change and a failed state. This conflict leads to total incoherence.

Iโ€™m with Rep Maggie Goodlander (D-NH) we need answers and we need answers now. Trump and the Pentagon are reportedly planning on sending 23,000 troops to all 50 states. Elbridge Colby wonโ€™t answer basic questions about this plan. Unacceptable, we need to stay on this story.๐Ÿ‘€

This is the man who is supposed to replace Kristi Noem.

Democrats need to show this video during Markwayne Mullinsโ€™ confirmation hearing. And a lot more. Heโ€™s a piece of work.

BLITZER: Trump has said there was an 'imminent threat' from Iran. What's your understanding of that?

STUTZMAN: The imminent threat is they were going to continue to build - rebuild - their nuclear program

WOLF: But Trump said the nuclear facilities were 'obliterated.' So why the need to attack?

Pretty sure when they started imposing this idiocy they assured a bunch of judges that they would be able to refund the money with no problem if it ever came to that.

So is it the War Department or the Defense Department, that is not conducting a war with #Iran?

US House Speaker Mike Johnson said the US is not at war with Iran and has no intention of starting one, describing the operation as limited. "Trump and the Defense Department have made that clear," Johnson said. #Iran

"SMO"

Now that they're trying to pretend their war is not a war, they've gone back to calling it the Defense Department.

We're at war in Iran, the president is already talking about another war with Cuba, and the White House and secretary of state are spending their time doing a roundtable on Name, Image, and Likeness rights in college sports?

Noem is gone, sort of, but there are lessons to be learned from her tenure, how she was fired, and why it didnโ€™t happen earlier, why the Senate confirmed her in the first place, that we canโ€t afford to ignore joycevance.substack.com/p/fired-but-...

#Trump wants an attack on US soil.

Just think what he would do if that happened, particularly for the mid-terms. Him & Miller are champing at the bit for an excuse to declare Martial Law.

I'm also worried about a possible false flag operation by his minions to fake an Iranian attack.

Has Trump sent Ice Barbie to the Marvel Cinematic Universe by naming her special envoy for The Shield of the Americas. As part of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics). Kristi can now protect the U.S. from aliens among us.

At least Border Batbi #Noem will leave her job with enough costumes to still do dress up for Corey Lewandowski dates.

ICE Barbi got iced.

Mullinโ€™s threat to journalists:

So ..
John Fetterman, who has a seat on the Senate Homeland Security Committee, has already said he'll support Markwayne Mullin for DHS Secretary
Despite Dems serious concerns about Mullin
And no confirmation hearing yet
Fetterman says, "I'm in"
You can do better in 2028 Pennsyvania

senator mullin receiving high praise from.sean o'brien, the teamsters president he nearly came to blows with, seems like the death of any honest labor movement in america because nothing is as partisan as wealth is in this country.

Congress' cabinet & Supreme court nominee vetting and approval process is a joke. It has been for decades. On both sides of the aisle.

It's all political theater to make us citizens feel like we have certain influence in the process.
#Republicans however are the best actors.

Undaunted Trump ditches Noem โ€” and allies refuse to support the war

Trump announced he would nominate Mullin, widely regarded as one of the dimmer bulbs in the Senate and lacking any college education, to replace her. Knowing the R senatorsโ€™ utter spinelessness and disinclination to exercise any quality control he lwill get through open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

After fascist republican Tony Gonzales was forced to admit to his affair with his aide who then died by suicide because the House opened an investigation against him, he is now set to withdraw his bid to seek re-election.

There goes those family values again.
