They have "had enough of experts"...

Yes, Trump started a war and can’t figure how to get out of it. Gas prices are spiking, groceries cost a fortune, airline fares are rising, the Attorney General was just fired, the job market is wretched, the national debt is out of control, but the president is laser focused.

The Iran fiasco might finally prove, once and for all, why you don't turn over the world's strongest military to a drunken talk show host and a racist game show host.

🚨 do you understand what Bill Ackman just said about Europe.. wrote an essay about how Europe is finished.. immigration destroying cities, no AI innovation, abandoned America on Iran, NATO collapsing.. the whole thing.. let me give you the part he conveniently left out.. the biggest waves of immigrants flooding into Europe came from Iraq, which America invaded in 2003.. from Libya, which NATO bombed into a failed state in 2011.. from Syria, which America destabilized through a decade of proxy wars.. from Afghanistan, which America occupied for 20 years and then abandoned the moment it got inconvenient.. America created the refugee crisis and handed Europe the bill.. then there's the "$200 billion helping Ukraine" line.. America sent weapons and loans.. Europe absorbed 8 million Ukrainian refugees, opened their borders, and rebuilt entire communities from scratch.. Ackman counted the weapons.. not the people.. and then he said Europe has "no progress or innovation in AI.." ASML is a Dutch company.. they manufacture the only machines in the world capable of producing advanced semiconductors.. every Nvidia GPU that powers every AI model Ackman has ever invested in exists because of a European monopoly.. without ASML there is no ChatGPT, no Claude, no AI race.. Europe doesn't just participate in AI.. Europe literally controls the factory that makes AI physically possible.. and the man making this argument is the same billionaire who made $2.6 billion betting against the market during the pandemic while the rest of the world burned.. without a single Dutch company, Ackman's entire AI investment thesis collapses overnight.. but sure.. Europe isn't innovating.

Woke up this morning to the news that the head of the NHS wants to remove doctors from the NHS. Brave timing given the current inquest into a young mothers death after she was seen by only PAs and the report detailing how a single nurse replacing a doctor killed so many patients

Mr. @JDVance, Invoking the 25th Amendment is no longer a political choice, it is a legal duty to protect both U.S. military personnel and cabinet members from criminal liability: Recent public announcements by the President indicate plans to direct actions that would constitute war crimes under international humanitarian law. 1- Any order that manifestly violates the laws and customs of war is unlawful on its face. United States military commanders and personnel who knowingly execute such an order will be personally exposed to war-crimes charges before domestic courts (Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. §§ 918, 920) and international tribunals. The defense of “superior orders” has been unequivocally rejected since the Nuremberg Tribunals and does not shield individuals from criminal liability. 2- The Cabinet, as the principal officers of the executive departments, bears both a moral and a legal duty to prevent the commission of war crimes by the United States. This duty flows from the Cabinet’s oath to support and defend the Constitution, from the President’s own obligation under Article II to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,” and from the international-law duty to prevent and suppress grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions. 3- The Cabinet is empowered to invoke the procedures of the 25th Amendment (Section 4) to declare the President unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office. This mechanism exists precisely for situations in which the President’s continued exercise of authority would cause irreparable harm to the nation and to the rule of law. 4- Failure by the Cabinet to discharge this duty and to resort to the 25th Amendment procedures, when the evidence of impending war crimes is clear, would itself entail legal liability under international law. Such inaction could be construed as complicity in, or culpable failure to prevent, the commission of war crimes, exposing Cabinet members to potential prosecution before competent international or domestic courts.

Enough with false prophets, liars, and sycophants like Graham and White. I earnestly pray that no harm comes to the U.S. and Israel, but to pretend that ours is some righteous cause with the wind of Providence behind its back is delusional and blasphemous. Our nations are absolutely drunk on the deadly sins of pride, lust, greed, wrath, acedia, gluttony, and envy, and on the blood of the unborn to which even much of the Christian right now turns a blind eye out of loyalty to a leader it has transformed into an idol. We do not grieve or repent of these sins but glory in our own military and economic power, and in our fantasized greater virtue relative to other nations. We wage war not reluctantly and in a spirit of humility, but with a libido dominandi and callous indifference to the effects on civilian populations – including the deaths of tens of thousands in Gaza and hundreds of thousands in Iraq, to mention only two especially appalling examples. And then we shrug and move on to the next thing. This is hubris tempting nemesis, pride going before a fall. These idiotic Elmer Gantrys should re-read their bibles, where they’ll find that the history of the people of God is portrayed not as one of virtue rewarded with endless military victories and material blessings, but rather one of continual moral corruption and apostasy on which divine punishment is repeatedly visited.

"Being a bully and unfair is a lose-lose-lose strategy for politicians, doctors, and patients." In this Editor's Choice, @KamranAbbasi writes on Wes Streeting’s lose-lose-lose strategy: punishing doctors to harm patients bmj.com/content/393/bm…

Firing the Army chief of staff in the middle of a war is always a sign that things are going great

Cancelling Doctors is not just a punishment for Doctors. It is mostly a punishment for YOU. They will be replaced by Private Healthcare who are more expensive and provide worse care, because they are only bothered about profit. Or they will be replaced by nothing at all.

Videos from Iran @SkyNews No comments on women in background not in burkas and with loose hair. They look quite relaxed. What's going on?

In recent weeks, US-born Pope Leo has emerged as a sharp critic of the Iran war. He named Trump, for the first time publicly, in a direct appeal urging the president to end the expanding conflict reut.rs/3QhoveL

The President of the United States woke up this morning and posted a 150-word personal attack on Bruce Springsteen. Not on Iran. Not on the tariffs crashing global markets. Not on the recession warnings. Bruce Springsteen. There is a standard psychological tool called the Hare Psychopathy Checklist. It has 20 items scored on a scale from 0 to 40. The cutoff for a diagnosis of psychopathy is 30.  The average person scores around 4. The average maximum security prisoner scores 22.  A panel of eminent psychiatrists assessed Trump before his 2024 sentencing in New York. He scored 36 out of 40.  The 25th Amendment exists precisely for this. Section 4 allows the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to declare the president unable to carry out his duties.  It has never been used. In any normally functioning democracy, the bar would be far lower. Most leaders in that position resign themselves. Instead, this one is on Truth Social at 7:58 AM calling a rock legend a dried-up prune. America is fighting a war it cannot exit in Iran. Markets are in freefall. Allies are making alternative plans. And the man with the nuclear codes is writing concert reviews. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@jabberwock951 All those centuries of cobbling together what you have to know to be a safe doctor, deemed unnecessary because a few British politicians and NHS managers have decided they know better; with no scientific evidence to prove they do. Bound to work out well😳🙄

Please, please...leave NATO It doesn't work at the moment because the strongest military member is helping Russia NATO was formed to confront Russia, remember ? But once Putin got kompromat on Trump. America changed sides So now NATO doesn't work because its strongest military member is working for the enemy Good bye. Please

Dear Paula White, Jesus was guilty of no crime but faced the ultimate punishment. Trump is guilty of all sorts of crimes yet perpetually evades consequences. These two are not the same. In reality, they are the opposite.

The threat of NATO’s break-up, easing sanctions on Russia, a massive energy crisis in Europe, halting aid for Ukraine and blocking the loan for Kyiv by Orbán - it all looks like Putin’s dream plan.

The French President Just Reminded The World What Class Looks Like Donald Trump stood in front of a camera and did what Donald Trump does. He mocked Emmanuel Macron’s wife. He put on a fake French accent. He told the world that Brigitte Macron “treats him extremely badly” and that the French president was “still recovering from a right hook to the jaw.” It was the geopolitical equivalent of a man shouting at clouds. Macron was in South Korea when someone asked him about it. He paused. He considered the question with the expression of a man who has just been informed that a golden retriever has urinated on his Bentley. Then he said this: “Neither elegant nor up to standard.” Seven words. That was it. Seven words delivered with the quiet, devastating calm of someone who genuinely does not need to raise their voice because the staff will handle it. It was the verbal equivalent of a single raised eyebrow from a man in a perfectly fitted suit, looking down at someone who has just spilled red wine on the carpet at Versailles. Consider the man on the other end of that eyebrow. A man who wears a red baseball cap to diplomatic meetings and a white one to funerals. A man who arrives at the most solemn occasions in the world looking like he has just wandered in from a golf buggy. A man whose morning routine apparently involves industrial quantities of spray tan applied to a face that has, at various medical estimations, the cardiovascular profile of a blocked Manhattan sewer. A man whose idea of a state dinner is a quarter pounder eaten alone in a motorcade. This is the man who decided to lecture the world about Emmanuel Macron’s marriage. Trump called NATO a “paper tiger.” He mocked a head of state’s wife. He uploaded the whole embarrassing performance to the White House YouTube channel, briefly, before someone in the building apparently remembered that diplomacy exists and pulled the plug. Macron’s response landed like a white glove placed gently on a table. Not thrown. Placed. “Neither elegant nor up to standard.” In French diplomatic circles, that sentence is a declaration of war. In English, it translates roughly to: I have noticed your behavior, and I find it beneath comment, which is why I am commenting on it once, quietly, before returning to matters of actual importance. There is a man in this story who has spent eighty years on this earth and still cannot find a suit that fits, a tie that stops at his belt, or a shade of foundation that occurs anywhere in nature. And there is a man who responded to being publicly humiliated by the most powerful person on earth with seven words and a expression that could freeze the Seine. Macron has something Trump has spent his entire life trying to purchase and never quite managed. Class. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

The bombs are still falling. But Washington has already lost. A former US military adviser said what most analysts are thinking: Trump’s war on Iran has alienated every ally America has left. Not some. All of them. Military victories can be measured in targets destroyed. This defeat cannot. It is happening in foreign ministries, in trade corridors, in quiet conversations between leaders who no longer trust Washington to behave like a serious country. The United States turned against its allies. The tariffs came first. Then the threats against Greenland. Then the abandonment of Ukraine. Now a unilateral war that nobody signed up for, followed by demands that everyone join in anyway. When you spend years burning bridges, do not be surprised when nobody comes to your war. The military result in Iran is still uncertain. The strategic result is not. America is alone. And it got there fast. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1
