Iran made and released this video.

Kind of thinking they’re not just going to roll over.

Low pressure sodium vapor light is less harsh, and it's easier for astronomers to filter out.

Meet the Press 2025 Dec 21

KRISTEN WELKER:

Well, Congressmen Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, I was just saying, who led the push to release the files, say they're looking at options including impeachment and contempt for DOJ officials. Would you support those steps going that far, impeachment or contempt?

SEN. TIM KAINE:

I think that's premature. Here's a – here’s a recent example. The Pentagon was dragging their feet on not releasing files about the Venezuelan boat strikes. And so we put into the defense bill a requirement that they're either going to release, or the travel budget for the Secretary of Defense is going to be reduced. We have tools in appropriations bills and other tools to force compliance if somebody is dragging their feet and I'd rather focus on those tools than get into discussions about contempt and impeachment.

Nick Catoggio:

"Reelecting a domineering sociopath after a failed autogolpe was an act of collective madness; reelecting him and handing him majorities in both houses of Congress, guaranteeing he’d govern with near-impunity ... may be the most reckless thing the American electorate has ever done."

I like the one week pause at 70% starting March 25.

Makes sense, since that's when March Madness is at the Sweet 16 stage, where everyone's attention turns to college hoops, and not all that real-world nonsense that gets people upset. It's the pause that refreshes.

Destruction of the Iran nuclear threat" is only possible if the highly enriched uranium is seized. Could that be the plan?

I think, given that by July 4 Trump's name will be mud, the 250th year will lose its panache. In its place will be a renewed focus on hundred year anniversaries (1876, 1976, 2076,...). The 250th will be like having the highest batting average the first half of baseball. Nothing special.

This is a great example of how Fox manipulates it's viewers. Because they trust only Fox, the Fox audience is completely vulnerable to manipulation by Fox. How could they know that what they're seeing with their own eyes isn't real? They couldn't. They're seeing it happen, it's right there!

Who is calling the shots? These operations are complex and need planning and expertise. Is Hegseth and a motley crew (e.g. L. Graham, M. Flynn, S. Miller) telling the Pentagon to blow up military facilities and cities? Is there a Pentagon tiger-team ordering strikes?

Anybody know?

Don't let the Arc of Triumph distract you from the spectacular issuance of a coin with Trump's visage on it ... that appears to be happening sometime this year. Unprecedented and very, very MAGA.

Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

That Russia is helping Iran isn’t shocking. What’s shocking is that the Trump administration won’t condemn Russia. Where is the outrage? Imagine if Zelensky were helping Iran. Trump would go ballistic. But when it’s Putin the reaction is decorous silence.

By the time Trump is done, America’s only allies will be the dictatorships who sign up for the Board of Peace.

Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people?

Trump: Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran.

Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth?

Hegseth: We’re investigating.

Trump: They are very inaccurate with their munitions. It was done by Iran.

Why Trump went to war:

revenge (Iran’s attempt to kill him)
β€œfreedom” for Iranians
preemptive strike
regime change
nuclear weapons
corrupt deals w Gulf states
Bibi/MBS brainwashing
Post Venezuela euphoria
2020 election interference
dementia
Steven Miller
Macho Strong Man
Epstein distraction

or...?

I've been saying for years - regarding sexual misbehavior, ties to Russia, crypto-corruption, unethical, illegal, and un-Constitutional actions - that

everything is obvious

And for many different reasons, we, as a society, somehow treat it all like they're not concerned. At all.

Dark triad - Wikipedia

I recently came upon the phrase "dark triad" which for me encapsulates Trump better than the limited scope "narcissistic personality disorder".

AI: Dark Triad refers to a trio of socially malevolent personality traitsβ€”narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy
