Me? Or Your (Karo)Lyin’ Eyes?

Leavitt: It is abhorrent, some of the stories that are coming from the mainstream media. These are anonymous sources without checking with the people who were actually in the room. I’m speaking about the CNN story alleging the administration was ill-prepared for the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and that’s unequivocally false.
Show me the evidence! Let’s see: mid-terms are in less than 8 months, and it’ll take 6 months to release the amount from the reserves Trump has released. So…right before the elections? Or not? And that’ll be, when? Next week? Maybe before the election? In 2028? But wait a minute!
3/3: “We won the war”

3/7: "We defeated Iran”

3/9: “We need to beat Iran”

3/9: "The war is very complete, pretty much"

3/11: “We need to beat Iran”

3/11: “We won but also we didn’t”

3/12: "We won the war"

3/13: “We won but also we didn’t”

Today: “Iran is defeated!”
Is the Strait open? It should be. Is that why Trump is begging the world for help in the Strait? Asking for a friend. Ummm... Russian oil was sanctioned over that….

Same Song, 72nd Verse

 The fabled “right to exist”:

Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken revealed that both the Obama and Biden administrations spent years resisting pressure from Israeli leadership to launch preemptive military strikes against Iran. Obama refused repeated calls for action, instead pursuing diplomacy that produced the Iran nuclear agreement. Biden similarly rejected pressure for escalation after the October 7 attacks, reportedly coming within thirty minutes of authorizing a preemptive strike before deciding against it.

Trump took a different path, with his administration launching military action against Iran—the exact scenario his predecessors had worked strategically to avoid.

The danger lies in an asymmetric cost dynamic. Iran can wage conflict far more cheaply than the United States, deploying $20,000 drones while the U.S. responds with $4 million Patriot interceptors. This imbalance allows weaker adversaries to drain resources from stronger ones over time, Pakman noted.

Experts warn that Trump may have succumbed to the same pattern that characterized his first term—believing flattering foreign leaders who promised dramatic breakthroughs, as happened with Putin and Kim Jong Un. The administration now faces a painful choice: commit to prolonged costly conflict or execute a politically humiliating exit.
I’d venture to say the other reason Obama and Biden declined to attack Iran is the situation we have now, the situation that caused Trump today to imagine nobody remembers last week when he told the world they had missed their chance to join the game, and wouldn’t be welcome at the after party. This week, he’s begging even more countries than he told to piss off (he pissed on European allies; now he needs them and Asian help if he can get it). The salient question is still: what does he expect?

I don’t mean in terms of response, but in terms of help. The Navy didn’t protect ships in the Strait last week. What do they offer differently this week? What will a flotilla of ships, or several, accomplish? The only way to control the Strait is to control Iran, and that would require a conquest on the order of what the Allies did to Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan. In crudest terms, it would mean the Strait was closed for a very, very long time. And a bigger commitment of blood and treasure than a supplemental spending bill and 5000 sailors and marines.

Who’s up for that?

What Trump’s looking for is not a solution, or a palatable exit. He’s looking for a deus ex machina to bail him out. Daddy’s money won’t do it this time. Neither will filing bankruptcy and hacking off the diseased limb. Trump never takes bankruptcy. He sets up companies that crash casinos and airlines and football teams and even buildings. It’s never him. But this time it is.

It’s him, and it’s us. And there’s no court to make it go away, no creditors to dump it on and walk away from.

And it always comes back to Israel, which really doesn’t care how they affect the world. Their “right to exist” is as narcissistic as Trump’s ego; and really, far more dangerous. Israel can certainly defend itself, as any nation can. But it’s no accident one of Trump’s excuses for this “excursion” is a pre-emptive strike on a @dangerous” Iran. That’s a very convenient excuse for being constantly at war; especially when you call it your “right to exist.”

What? Nobody else gets that consideration?

Remain Calm. All Is Well.

This moment from February 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead. Perhaps he should have listened.

Zelenskyy: First of all, during the war, everybody has problems, even you. But you have nice ocean and don't feel now. But you will feel it in the future. God bless –

Trump: You don't know that. You don't know that. Don't tell us what we're going to feel. We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're going to feel.

Zelenskyy: I'm not telling you. I am answering on these questions.

Trump: Because you're in no position to dictate that.

Vance: That's exactly what you're doing.

Trump: You are in no position to dictate what we're going to feel. We're going to feel very good.
All who don’t feel very good are unmutual! Unfortunately, that won’t move fertilizer components through the Strait of Hormuz.

Get Pirro To Handle The Revocation Suits

Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up.

The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.

And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters.

The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves.

It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news.

When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen.

Time for change!
This will be Exhibit A in the suits by broadcast license holders. Not my area of expertise, but I’m expecting a vigorous First Amendment defense.

Among other things, but I think this is just meant to please Trump. I don’t think the FCC lawyers told Carr this was a good idea.

Then again, there’s the example of Pirro….

Or, you can go with what Ted Lieu said:

Opposite Day In The D.C. USAG’s Office

"Innocent until proven guilty” is a constitutional principle, and means that until proven guilty, there are no crimes. Prosecutors have a professional (ethical) responsibility to investigate crimes, not persons. 

That’s where I started, because I’d only seen this clip. But I realized I was over reaching, that I couldn’t quite get there from here. And if I only had that clip, I was right.
What Pirro explicitly wants to do is to conduct an investigation and find a crime. The court told her she couldn’t do that. So she throws a temper tantrum.

Innocent until proven guilty means you can’t conduct an investigation without, at minimum, reasonable suspicion. What Pirro is arguing for is guilty until proven innocent, because that’s so much more convenient for prosecutors. No one in this country needs an investigation to prove they didn’t commit a crime, or to be “exonerated without an investigation.”

What she’s arguing for is the very antithesis of how our criminal justice system works. She’s got it precisely backwards.

I really think the D.C. Bar needs to open an ethics investigation into her ability to function as a prosecutor.

ETTD: A Continuing Series

Does everybody feel better about the price of eggs yet?

(I posted that, and then listened to it carefully. (Now you know how I work.) The 400 million barrels to be released from reserves can only be released at the rate of 2 million bbl a day.  Again, my back of the envelope context is the Permian Basin, expecting to produce 6 million barrels per day.

So, yeah, the price of oil is not going down soon. That 400 million is going to trickle into the market, not flood.

Add to that the shutdown fields which will have to be repressurized to be productive. It ain’t just a matter of opening a valve. The recovery from this, when it starts, will be long term, not immediate.

The country that wanted this war was Israel. And Israel doesn’t give a wet snap about the rest of the world, which is now bearing the cost of this excellent adventure. Well, cost in treasure. Despite American deaths, Iran is still paying the highest cost in blood. Which, I guess, pleases Bibi. Israel, after all, has “a right to exist.” Fuck the rest of the world. Right?)

May You Live In Interesting Times

Going to MAL for this? And what reason is this for the war? I mean, which number? I’ve lost track. And so has MTG.
Greene: There are so many innocent people dying. The little girls school is, is such an outrage. It's horrific. And Americans, we don't want to think of our military as being responsible of killing little children. And we are owed answers. They keep saying that they're investigating. But it is such a serious situation.

I drove by an elementary school today and there were children out on the playground swinging on the swings and playing on the playground. And I thought to myself, I'm so thankful that our, our children are safe, but I can't imagine living somewhere where school children or people's children have been bombed.
Greene: We've got families getting ready to go on spring break and gas prices are skyrocketing. People voted for lower grocery costs. What we're going to see costs at the grocery stores going up because diesel is going up and oil is going up because of this war.

We've got 30% of the world's fertilizer goes through the strait. That affects our farmers that are struggling already. We voted to put Americans first.
Greene: Republicans can't even fund homeland security. Yet they're going to pass another supplemental to fund the war in Iran. I'm still waiting on Mike Johnson to roll out that Republican health care plan that he boasted about because Americans can't even afford health insurance right now
Greene: Baby boomers that are in power—that are just clinging to power, living out the end of their days. They're ruining it for the rest of us.

Here's the message for the rest of the world: the younger generations of Americans, we don't want war with the world. We want peace. We desperately want peace between all of our nations, we want good trade, we want to have good business deals, and we want to be able to visit your countries and you come visit ours. This is not what we want.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: These are 13 lives that I believe should not have been lost. This war is not something Americans voted for in 2024. As a matter of fact, we voted for the opposite. We voted for no more foreign wars, no more regime change. And we were told by many members of the administration throughout the campaign — JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, and others — that they believed going to war with Iran would be a terrible idea.

It was something that Charlie Kirk himself had said over and over again, and Donald Trump — President Trump. I voted for him three times. I fought for him to become president, and I still want him to be successful. But he told Americans for over ten years — and even longer — that he thought foreign wars and regime change were a bad direction for America to go in.

And we trusted and believed him that we wouldn’t be doing this. But this was an unprovoked war, and Israel pulled us into it — pulled America into it. And so those are 13 lives that should not have been lost.
Talk amongst yourselves.

It’s Okay

Trump says it will only last as long as it lasts. In the meantime, we’ll all just eat less. At least that seems to be on the table.

And Then Came Trump…

Like this? The Strait of Hormuz is about 104 miles long. 5000 Marines are going to what? Stand along the shore and shoot at the missiles going overhead towards the ships? Wade out into the Strait to disable mines? Control the Iranian border with the Strait?

Turns out the Marines are going with additional warships. They can make amphibious assaults, but on what? People laying mines? Okay. What about the rocket launchers or missiles. I can find real time maps of ships in the Strait on my phone. I’m guessing I wouldn’t need line of sight to do some damage with some missiles.

IOW, I don’t see how this situation changes without a massive commitment to invasion and conquest. Which Trump doesn’t seem to be ramping up for.

So Trump is just fucking around. Again.
That’s what he’s feeling in his bones. He’ll know it when he decides he needs to see it. The rest of us will just have to suffer; and wait. While Trump continues to fuck around. REMAIN CALM!  ALL IS WELL!

Vance Came Out Of Hiding For This?

You’re not helping, little boy. The VPOTUS needs to talk to the POTUS. Speaking of which: It’s not that they think we’re morons. They think they’re smart. The turnover so Noem could be the Shield of the Americas? Instead of the embarrassing spendthrift of DHS?

Fuck The Troops

KILMEADE: You think Putin is helping Iran?

TRUMP: I think he might be helping them a little bit, yeah. And he probably thinks we're helping Ukraine, right?

KILMEADE: And you are, right?

TRUMP: Yeah, we're helping them also, and so he says that, and China would say the same thing. It's like, hey, they do it and we do it, in all fairness
All’s fair in war and fucking the country over. "Acceptable losses,” and all that. Nobody said we wouldn’t get our hair mussed. War is peace. They knew what they were getting into. A pointless “excursion” and “a pleasant outing for the troops” because the C in C listened to Bibi last. Sunk costs aside. No Nazis here. Nosiree. No self-awareness at all. Is that excursion still going on?

How To Speak Truth To Power

They’re scared of the movement we are building. They’re gonna throw everything they have at us.

They’re gonna call me a ‘radical leftist.’
They’re going to call me a ‘fake Christian.’
They’ll call our movement un-Texan and un-American.
They’ll call us a threat.

The only truth is — we are a threat. We’re a threat to their corrupt system.

Or Something

Hand to God, the last time I heard the U.S. government being this stupid was during the Vietnam War.

It’s days like this I do feel like maybe I’ve lived too long. History looping this soon is a bit much.
Or maybe it’s not looping, it’s just scratched and the needle keeps skipping at the same point.

Trump’s narcissistic ego really is a wonder to behold. In a way that makes you shudder and weep for humanity, like Rachel weeping for her children, because they were no more.
  Can someone explain to me the difference between “Israel’s right to exist” and Hitler’s lebensraum? Because I’m really not seeing it anymore. "Return of the messiah”? He’s not even pretending to talk to Israel, is he?
Talarico: "Here's why they're doing this. There's another war in the Middle East. There's a cost of living crisis crushing the middle class. There's a secret pedophile ring and no one has been prosecuted. So the people responsible are trying to distract us with the same old culture wars ... what do the American people care more about -- pronouns or prices?"
He has a succinct way of putting things. Trump will wear another golf cap to Dover. And wonder again why all the bodies come to Dover.
Hegseth: "Some in the press just can't stop. Allow me to make a few suggestions. People look at the TV and they see banners, headlines -- I used to be in that business, I know everything is written intentionally. For example, a banner -- 'Mideast War Intensifies.' What should the banner read instead? How about, 'Iran increasingly desperate,' because they are. Or more fake news from CNN. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better."
Another callback to Vietnam; although we had to get more than a decade in to that war for this kind of desperation to surface.

And interestingly, no mention of how we’re going to get oil through the Strait of Hormuz. I guess that’s the short term pain the world has to suffer. Or something.

If We’re Going To Play The “Disruption” Game

 Justice disrupts humanity. And it’s the only idea/concept/essence/reality that has a valid claim to. Because justice deals equitably with all. 

AI doesn’t “disrupt humanity.” It serves the interests of those who control it. Karp doesn’t care about the workers. That’s snake oil. You can tell very simply. The technology of AI doesn’t disrupt him; it serves his interests. As does the law, as does the government. Without those twin pillars, he can’t control property to build data centers, overcome objections to displace people (all the “right people”) and sell his services to the owners who want to reap more rewards. Karp is not introducing a new thing; he is just the same old robber baron we’ve seen before. 

And who gives technology the authority to “disrupt humanity”? The whole of humanity? Or the Tech Bros? Who even put them in charge? Humanity? Or the system of injustice that prevails?

The law of Moses may have included rules we find bizarre, like never boiling a kid in its mother’s milk, or essentially eating a cheeseburger (my kryptonite), but the essence of that law is justice for the poor = justice for all. 

Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness, 
 his upper rooms by injustice, 
making his own people work for nothing,
 not paying them for their labor. 

14 He says, ‘I will build myself a great palace with spacious upper rooms.’
 So he makes large windows in it, panels it with cedar and decorates it in red. 

15 “Does it make you a king to have more and more cedar? 
Did not your father have food and drink? 
 He did what was right and just, 
 so all went well with him. 

16 He defended the cause of the poor and needy, 
 and so all went well. 
Is that not what it means to know me?” declares the Lord.

Jeremiah 22:13-16

Jeremiah sums it up nicely. The essence of the law of Moses is to defend the cause of the poor and needy; then all is well with the people, with humanity. Justice disrupts humanity by disrupting our selfishness and greed. Which is not a rapacious desire for too much; it’s just a selfish desire to think of ourselves first, and foremost.
"What keeps you from giving now? Isn't the poor person there? Aren't your own warehouses full? Isn't the reward promised? The command is clear: the hungry person is dying now, the naked person is freezing now, the person in debt is beaten now-and you want to wait until tomorrow? "I'm not doing any harm," you say. "I just want to keep what I own, that's all." You own! You are like someone who sits down in a theater and keeps everyone else away, saying that what is there for everyone's use is your own. . . . If everyone took only what they needed and gave the rest to those in need, there would be no such thing as rich and poor. After all, didn't you come into life naked, and won't you return naked to the earth?

"The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry person; the coat hanging unused in your closet belongs to the person who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the person with no shoes; the money which you put in the bank belongs to the poor. You do wrong to everyone you could help, but fail to help."
Basil
4th Century

"The large rooms of which you are so proud are in fact your shame. They are big enough to hold crowds--and also big enough to shut out the voices of the poor....There is your sister or brother, naked, crying! And you stand confused over the choice of an attractive floor covering."
Ambrose
4th Century

That is how you disrupt humanity. It doesn’t put a dime in a Tech Bros pocket, but that is the system of injustice that exploits humanity and disrupts our connection to each other. Justice is like the rain: it falls on the just and the unjust alike. It disrupts systems of injustice, and benefits humanity. Humanity has enough disruptions. It doesn’t need one more. It needs justice, that doesn’t serve the wealthy who control the systems of injustice. Humanity needs the justice that disrupts those systems, and put people first. People who are stewards of each other, because we were meant to care for each other, and for God’s creation. We were not meant to claim what is for everybody’s use, as exclusively our own. 

You want to really disrupt humanity? Seek justice.

🍋

I read recently (and have since lost the story) that the White House didn’t anticipate Iran even threatening traffic in the Strait. If you look at a map (and don’t know independently), the entire northern border of the strait is Iran. No country shares the northern boundary with Iran.

To not imagine Iran might threaten the Strait of Hormuz is to ignore information from both military and intelligence agencies (which, despite Trump and Hegseth, are not uniformly idiots), as well as fucking common sense. 
Planning around preventing this exact scenario — impossible as it has long seemed — has been a bedrock principle of US national security policy for decades,” the former US official, who served in Republican and Democratic administrations, told CNN. “I’m dumbfounded.”
This is idiocy so bad even Fetterman can’t (well, shouldn’t) excuse it. 

The people in charge of our government (and I include Congress in this) aren’t fit to run a lemonade stand.

Can We Stop Now?

Can we stop now? Same question. Funny thing, in the responses to the tweet containing the General’s statement, were the tweets asserting that America doesn’t target civilians.

The fire bombing of Tokyo.
Dresden.
Hiroshima.
Nagasaki.
I visited Munich in the’80’s. There were great grass covered mounds of everywhere. It was the rubble from the buildings destroyed by bombing during the war. Allied bombing. Almost every building in the city was built after the war.
Plain of Jars.
Cambodia. Laos. Thailand.

“The Technology Disrupts Humanity”

Well, as long as it makes the Tech Bros rich. That’s what really matters! With AI! That targeted a girls’ school in Tehran with what the Pentagon now admits was outdated information.

Disruptive!

Of course, society is going to pay, not just for the disruption, but the cost of operating AI data centers. Which still are no better than the information human beings give the program.

I’ve read that Thiel apparently didn’t understand the sinister significance of the Palantir in LOTR. But I’m quite sure he did.

“Christ Is The Immigrant Without Due Process

Again, for context, Texas produces 5 million barrels per day. Trump is not exactly driving the price of oil down. Really the worst timeline. The character of Marco Rubio in one photo.

(If you haven’t heard, Trump has taken to handling out Florsheim shoes to his Cabinet for reasons no one understands. Nobody understands why he wants to gild everything, either. Apparently it’s wear them, or get on the boss’s shitlist.)
The GOP thinks they’ve caught Talarico.

Matthew 25:31-46 (SV)

"When the Son of Adam comes in his glory, accompanied by all his messengers, then he will occupy his glorious throne. Then all peoples will be assembled before him, and he will separate them into groups, much as a shepherd segregates sheep from goats. He'll place the sheep to his right and the goats to his left. Then the king will say to those at his right, 'Come, you who have the blessing of my Father, inherit the domain prepared for you from the foundations of the world. You may remember, I was hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink; I was a foreigner and you showed me hospitality; I was naked and you clothed me; I was ill and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to see me.' Then the virtuous will say to him, 'Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and fed you or thirsty and gave you drink? When did we notice that you were a foreigner and extend hospitality to you? Or naked and clothe you? When did we find you ill or in prison and come to visit you?

And the king will respond to them, 'I swear to you, whatever you did for the most inconspicuous members of my family, you did for me as well.'

Next, he will say to those on his left, 'You, condemned to the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his messengers, get away from me! You too may remember, I was hungry and you didn't give me amything to eat; I was thirsty and you refused me a drink; I was a foreigner and you failed to extend hospitality to me; naked and you didn't clothe me; ill and in prison and you didn't visit me.'

Then they will give him a similar reply: 'Lord, when did we notice that you were hungry or thirsty or a foreigner or naked or weak or in prison, and did not attempt to help you?'

He will then respond: 'I swear to you, whever you didn't do for the most inconspicuous members of my family, you didn't do for me.'

The second group will then head for everlasting punishment, but the virtuous for everlasting life.

Class Warfare!

I've had a lot of interviews with national media. No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. No one's asked me about the cost of prescription drugs. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes.

The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. Undocumented people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%.

Trans people aren't taking away our healthcare. Undocumented people aren't defunding our schools. It's the billionaires and their puppet politicians
Except everybody is punching down.

Birds Of A Feather…

... flock together.

I never thought of “nuclear missiles” as “conventional.”
Rand Paul: "As far as the reasons for the war, there have been many different reasons floated, but none of them I think have been very convincing ... we were told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we're told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb. I don't think the arguments are valid."
The judges would also accept “The arguments are incoherent double speak and bafflegab.” And are still waiting for someone to say “we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.” Which would finally put the tail securely in the snake’s mouth. Close; but not a cigar. But this is not going to “become[] a long, protracted engagement”? 🤔 Maybe stupidity is contagious, after all.

Somehow Lost In The Two Appearances He Made Yesterday

Let us know when he actually does something about oil prices. Or just about the Straits of Hormuz:
Clusters containing dozens of vessels each appear to signal positions in and around the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting that electronic interference and GPS jamming have soared at the critical oil chokepoint that’s effectively blocked for tanker traffic for more than a week now.

At least a dozen such clusters, some of which numbering more than 200 ships in unnaturally perfect shapes, appear on vessel-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg, pointing to intensified interference with positioning signals as the war in the Middle East continues.

The GPS jamming is the latest in a series of concerns for shippers and vessel owners who have been unable to have ships cross either side of the Strait of Hormuz for more than a week, choking global oil and gas supplies and sending energy commodity prices soaring.

“Any vessel navigating the area clearly can’t rely on GPS,” Mark Douglas, a maritime-domain analyst at Starboard Maritime Intelligence, told Bloomberg.

Analysts say that both Iran and the U.S. could be using Global Navigation Satellite System or GPS jamming tools in the region.

“Due to operations security we are not going to comment on the status of specific capabilities in the region,” the U.S. Department of War told the BBC, approached to comment on the GPS jamming.

Does That Include….

...Iranians and Lebanese and the 175 schoolchildren, as well as victims of Iranian bombings in countries in the region with U.S. military bases?

Or is he declaring Israel the 51st state?

There is a madness here that is absolutely antithetical to American interests, and absolutely the product of a standing military force and the military-industrial complex. And then there’s saying it as loudly and bluntly as possible. Which seems to be the consequence of old men in power.

A/k/a “blunt denial of reality." And then there’s Lindsay, who seems to imagine he’s God Emperor of America. See? And apparently he’s married to Israel?

The Clueless President

1) take over the country!
2) eliminate the government?
3) destroy their military capacity?
4) Pick the government leader?
5) break up Iran into smaller countries?
6) lower gas prices?
6) make the world safe for democracy?
Probably four. Who knows? Didn’t he say this about the bomb run last year?
Trump on Iran’s Leadership: We want to be involved. We don't want another president who wouldn't be willing to do what I'm willing to do for the good of our world and nation to be stuck with this situation 5 or 10 years from now. We think they should put a president in ahead of the country that's going to be able to do something peacefully for a change.
Says the guy who then said this: The mere presence of battle shutdown the Straits. It scared the insurance underwriters. Maybe if you left Iran alone…. Uh-huh. He doesn’t understand how the global oil market works, does he? Not the first clue. Told you. A missile wearing a disguise. Didn’t he just say he’s taken out the government leaders three times? That’s about 20 days of Texas oil production. Annual production in the Permian Basin alone is about 2 billion barrels annually. And that’s only 45% of American oil production. 

100 million barrels is literally a drop in the bucket.

Literally no clue at all.
