I wonder if there was any way for them to foresee it would happen?

We are in an unnecessary war that the public doesn’t want, without a clear purpose or endgame.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Trump ousts Kristi Noem, names Oklahoma senator as homeland security nominee - www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

So disappointed

Must!

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge

CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?

NOEM: A what?

CROCKETT: A law degree

NOEM: No I do no-

CROCKETT: Okay

GREAT NEWS: In yet another Democratic upset, Alex Holladay has defeated his Republican opponent in the special election to represent Arkansas’s House District 70.

This is a flip from 🔴 to 🔵.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred Gov DeSantis from designating CAIR as a terrorist organization and punish those who associate with the group.

“Once again, Florida chooses political posturing over the First Amendment,” Judge Walker writes.

‘The trend is irreversible’: has Romania shattered the link between economic growth and high emissions? Emissions have plunged 75% since communist times in the birthplace of big oil – but for some the transition has been brutal

Romania has decoupled economic growth from pollution faster than anywhere else in EU. Its net greenhouse gas emissions intensity fell 88% between 1990 & 2023, so each euro’s worth of economic activity heats planet 10 times less. Emissions have plunged by 75%. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Maxwell: $92 million for porta-potties? Big spending at ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Maxwell: New reports show Florida gave $92 million to a single porta-potty company involved with ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ And the state has yet to produce audits required by law on hundred…

$92 million for porta-potties? Big spending at Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz.”

“Never look down on anybody unless you’re helping them up.”

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend."

RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him.

So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

If Jeffrey Epstein is dead, the question doesn’t disappear with him. Predatory appetites don’t retire because one middleman is removed. Power, money, and access have always found ways to protect themselves.
Until those structures are dismantled and accountability is done then nothing will change.

Meanwhile, in Germany, the public weighs in on what they think of the Epstein Administration.
