Old, and on the Way

STILL TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF THE WORLD?

@ChrisMurphyCT what? Having a strategy is not having a strategy? Meeting the goals is failure?

Here's the problem. These are all "tactical" objectives. They are not strategy. Because there IS NO strategy. 1/ Let me take these "objectives" 1-4 to explain - based upon what I've learned in briefings - why we are badly and embarrassingly losing this war.

@GavinNewsom Recovering all the funds California has scammed from the Feds would pay for it twice.

Happy Monday. The Republican Party wants to cut your healthcare to fund their illegal war in Iran.

@ProudSocialist We tried that crap. Moslems went on another crusade. It's time to end it.

Rubio: “Imagine if instead of spending billions on weapons, Iran spent that money on its people. They’d have a much different country.” Imagine if instead of spending TRILLIONS on war the US spent that money on its people. We’d have a better country & the world would have peace.

@DavidAstinWalsh All it shows is a judgement lapse by the previous DODs in understanding the efficacy of drone warfare. That would be the military leadership of Biden, Trump45 and Obama. Remember, Obama gave Iran one of our drones before the Shahed program was launched, so ... Dream on.

I’m no military expert but the demonstrated ability of middle powers to produce incredibly cheap precision drones capable of destroying billions of dollars of U.S. military equipment really does suggest the era of American global dominance is over.

@CAgovernor The cases ended in a $25 million civil settlement in 2016–2018, with no admission of wrongdoing by Trump, Trump University, or related entities. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov

Not true. Per Grok: There was no final court finding or judgment of fraud against Trump University or Donald Trump personally in the related lawsuits. Y'all need to stop lying. Seriously. Just shut up if all you can do is dig yourself a deeper hole.

This notion that Trump of all people is an anti-fraud crusader is complete BS — he was personally found legally liable for fraud! California has been eliminating fraud for YEARS. In fact, the Feds consistently showcase the integrity of our Medicaid program to help other states!

@EricSpracklen City budgets are not the responsibility of Congress or the President.

American cities are literally crumbling while we are spending billions every day fighting a war in Iran. When will we end the madness and put America first?

@BernieSanders why should you get to spend his money?

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, recently paid an effective tax rate of less than 3.3%. That is less than the average truck driver, nurse and teacher. YES, we must demand the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@PawlowskiMario So we lost a decrepit short range logistics vehicle. They blew up a flying truck. We still have live pilots. And plenty more planes. It's a really, really small w. We do the same for Ukraine, so . . .

Russia shared satellite images and basically gave the coordinates to Iranians who destroyed few hundred billions of dollars worth of American equipment. And Trump is fine with it?

@MikeLevin how many were involved in transgender studies of hamsters and other equally lunatic fantasies?

This is absolutely infuriating and completely idiotic. An estimated 95,000 scientists and researchers have left federal agencies since Trump returned to the White House. These are the people tracking hurricanes, studying pediatric cancer, and modeling the climate tipping points that determine whether we can still prevent catastrophe. We lost them because this administration defunded their work, shuttered their offices, and made clear that finding out the truth is no longer a government priority. NASA’s own administrator just said studying climate change isn’t part of NASA’s mission. The agency that first warned Congress about global warming in 1988 now treats that work as a distraction. Meanwhile, China and Europe are recruiting our scientists, funding their labs, and making long-term bets on the industries of the future while we gut the research infrastructure that took generations to build. We are surrendering global scientific leadership voluntarily, deliberately, and one resignation letter at a time. nytimes.com/2026/03/25/cli…

@axios Additional Miles? WT actual F? Are you stupid? As a poll judge I have sent dozens of people packing because they went to the wrong polling location which was their choice. These things are locally restricted because nobody in Sacremento should be controlling noise in Pahrump.

SAVE Act would mean long drives for millions of American voters trib.al/TwuoLO0

The GOP wants to suppress the vote. Lying, cheating, and rigging the system are the only way they win. We can’t let them.

@ChinaliveX Mother Nature us neither kind nor gentle, it is true. But it is what separates us from the Neanderthals.

@KobeissiLetter Hardly. Iran is trying to be Trump: make outrageous demands in hopes of something they can swallow. Abother 2 weeks of drone transponder whacamole and Kharg will be winnable. CHEAP

BREAKING: Iran has drafted legislation to create the "Hormuz Law" which is expected create a formal toll system for the Strait of Hormuz. Preliminary details include: 1. Hormuz Law to introduce fees on navigation and pollution in the Strait of Hormuz 2. Draft legislation also includes creation of a "regional fund" 3. The move is seen as an attempt to formalize long-term tolls on global shipping routes 4. The US has called these tolls on the Strait of Hormuz both "illegal" and "unacceptable" The Strait of Hormuz situation is becoming even more complicated.

@lamps_apple @hasanthehun What did they attack it with? That does not look like an aerial attack, no matter how small.

@hasanthehun ?? I pay for my own housing, education, and healthcare… Why do all democrats live off the government?

they said it was “damaged” btw. this doesn’t look damaged to me. it looks obliterated. that’s housing, education, and healthcare money on fire btw.

@ClownWorld Nothing. He wipes his arse with those hands.

Interesting mix… what would you pay for this?

@TheChiefNerd They are already humiliated. They won't accept reality.

🚨 “As long as the Americans seek Iran's surrender, our response is that we will never accept humiliation,” Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said Sunday. Iranian forces “are waiting for the arrival of American troops on the ground to set them on fire and punish their regional partners forever,”he added. “Our firing continues. Our missiles are in place. Our determination and faith have increased.”

@overton_news How does he know?

From the Vatican today, Pope Leo XIV delivered a sweeping condemnation of leaders who invoke God during war, as the Iran conflict wages on. POPE LEO XIV: “He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war but rejects them, saying, even though you make many prayers, I will not listen.” “Your hands are full of blood.”

@NEWSMAX Seems a reasonable precaution to take with those who expect a search warrant before seizure.

China's top diplomat in Hong Kong has met the senior U.S. diplomat in the city to protest against a U.S. public alert over new security rules in Hong Kong, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said. newsmax.com/world/globalta…

@DrNeilStone So prove it. Anybody can type declarative sentence and sound authoritative.

RFK Jr saying "none of the 72 vaccines given to children have been tested against placebo " The reality : - Children are not given 72 vaccines - The ones they are given have been tested against placebo This serial liar is your HHS Secretary.
