Rosemary, darling...sit the fuck down and allow me to explain. You prattle on about the B1 bridge in Karaj like it’s some decorative footpath for tourists, sneering that it “lacks military value” in a conflict without ground troops. Christ, the intellectual laziness is almost impressive. That bridge isn’t a footnote. It’s a goddamn choke point...the strategic vertebrae of Iran’s logistical spine...and your failure to grasp it doesn’t make it irrelevant; it just broadcasts how far out of your depth you are. A choke point, in the lethal lexicon of military science, is any critical node...bridge, pass, tunnel, rail junction, port, or highway nexus...where the enemy’s flow of men, materiel, fuel, components, or command is forced through a narrow aperture. Control it, deny it, or shatter it, and you don’t need boots on the ground to paralyze an entire theater. Sun Tzu didn’t need to spell it out; Clausewitz, Liddell Hart, and every post-1945 campaign from Korea to Desert Storm to the current Levant inferno did. It’s not about “troop movements” in some 1940s fantasy. It’s about logistics as the true center of gravity. In hybrid, stand-off, precision-strike warfare...the exact flavor of this 2026 meat grinder...choke points multiply the effect of every munition by an order of magnitude. That B1 colossus in Karaj isn’t “visible infrastructure” for spite. It’s the tallest, most trafficked arterial on one of Iran’s primary east-west highways, the lynchpin feeding Tehran’s industrial belly, the missile-assembly complexes around Karaj itself, and the drone and rocket resupply arteries snaking toward the western and southern fronts. Shatter it and you don’t stop “troops”...you starve the launchers. You force the IRGC to reroute through secondary roads that are already under persistent ISR, turning every convoy into a shooting gallery. You spike transit times from days to weeks, burn fuel they can’t afford, expose repair crews to follow-on strikes, and cascade delays into the entire kill-chain that keeps Shahab, Fateh, and Shahed platforms spitting. That’s not collateral. That’s effects-based targeting 101: turn the enemy’s own geography into a weapon against him. You warn of a “rally-around-the-flag” effect? Spare me the undergraduate seminar. Every competent campaign staff weighs that variable; the ones who win accept it as the cost of imposing cumulative systemic failure. Iran’s regime has been hemorrhaging legitimacy for years. Starving their war machine of seamless movement doesn’t “strengthen” them...it forces the mullahs to choose between feeding the front and feeding Tehran. History is littered with regimes that collapsed not from grand invasions but from the quiet strangulation of their internal lines of communication. Ask the Wehrmacht after the Rhine bridges fell. Ask Saddam after the Highway of Death became exactly that. So no, Rosemary, this wasn’t a tantrum against pretty scenery. It was a scalpel cut into the carotid of Iranian sustainment. The fact you can’t see the difference between a bridge and a billboard says everything about why armchair commentators should stick to hashtags and leave the operational art to those who’ve studied the red-on-blue maps instead of just retweeting them. Next time you want to lecture on military value, try opening a FM 3-0 or a RAND study instead of your feelings. Try to keep up, sweetheart. 💀🪖

B1 bridge in Karaj has been hit in US-ISRAELI attacks. This bridge is reportedly the "highest bridge in West Asia."

RT if you miss having a President with a functioning brain.

Colorado is now requiring lawyers in the State, as a condition of logging into its court e-filing system, to promise not to cooperate with federal authorities in enforcing federal immigration law. Please understand: - I do not practice immigration law. - I do not practice criminal law. - Nothing about my civil practice has anything to do with this. And yet because I cannot log into the State's official e-filing system without saluting The Resistance, I now cannot represent my clients, file lawsuits, access cases, file documents in existing cases, etc. If I click "Decline," it kicks me out of the system. I must click "Accept" to access the system and continue representing my civil clients -- again, in cases that have absolutely nothing to do with immigration law or policy. I've read SB 25-276 (the law referred to below). It does not regulate me as a private attorney or any of the clients I represent in civil matters. This is outrageous draconian overreach. I have ethical obligations to my clients to represent them competently. My existing cases have running deadlines that I must attend to. Judges issue orders in my cases that I must follow. If I don't click "Accept" in order to access the State's e-filing system, I will harm my clients, torpedo my practice, and probably commit malpractice. So, I have no choice. I'm clicking "Accept" under protest.

Wasn't an innocent young 18-yo college girl senselessly murdered while out for a walk in Chicago? Happy walking, Illinois.

The University of Illinois President testified on Tuesday in the IL Senate that 41% of his students pay no tuition or fees. Who are the students that pay nothing? No one asked in committee. At what rate do they graduate and what do they study? What's their citizenship status? I'm certain 42,000 students (student population 101,000) are not in the ROTC program or are merit scholars with near perfect ACT or SAT scores. So many unanswered questions. Needless to say the university president requested more money for this year's budget. How about start with every student having skin in the game?
