In an interview, US constitutional lawyer Robert Barnes, a friend of JD Vance, said: “Trump began exhibiting signs of early dementia in September 2025. He frequently confabulates, routinely loses his temper, unleashes screaming rants, and is incapable of doing critical thinking.”
And – according to Barnes, in this state – “Trump genuinely believes that the U.S. has vanquished #Iran and does not comprehend the massive economic damage that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is doing to the global economy.” In short, Barnes says “Trump is unable to comprehend reality.”
Trump’s biographer, Michael Wolff: “Trump has no plan. He doesn’t know what’s going on. He’s not capable of formulating a plan. He likes to create Media cliffhangers. Trump: “No one knows what I am going to do next. So, everyone is afraid of me..."
Wolf: “Nothing happens without emanating from him. And that changes on a moment-by-moment basis. The only metric that matters for Trump is to be seen as a winner.”
But Trump has no strategy - bombing is not a strategy - and Iran is able, prepared to defend itself until the US runs out of bombs; until the global economy is on life support. With clearly articulated strategic goals, Iran is not "begging for a deal" and insists it will have a say on how and when the war ends. #IranWar
Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.
Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul.
Oh well. Good job Virginia!!
Trump said Friday that the Strait of Hormuz situation was "over." It very obviously wasn't.
Trump said Friday that Iran agreed "to never close the Strait of Hormuz again.” The next day, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again.
Trump said yesterday that Vance isn't going to Pakistan for the talks. Officials quickly said Vance is going to Pakistan for the talks.
Trump said this morning that Vance had left and would be there tonight Islamabad time. Officials quickly said Vance is actually leaving tomorrow.
Trump said Iran has no military anymore and that "everything's gone." Iran continues to have a military with destructive capabilities.
Trump said the pope issued a statement saying Iran can have a nuclear weapon. That never happened.
Trump said nobody expected Iran to retaliate against Gulf countries. That was widely expected.
Trump said the only planes the US has really lost in the war have been to friendly fire. He said this at the same event at which he had spoken at length about what happened after Iran shot down a US plane.

Is this a JOKE?
A Florida college student was just arrested for making a Netanyahu joke in a WhatsApp group chat.
A joke.
WhatsApp message.
First, they came for the journalists.
Then the protesters.
Now the group chats.
UNBELIEVEABLE.
BREAKING: Dozens of victims of Jeffrey Epstein have filed a lawsuit against former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing her of helping conceal critical details during the earlier handling of the Epstein investigation.
Leading the lawsuit is Maria Farmer—one of the first women to publicly accuse Epstein—along with a group of survivors who say they have collectively spent more than $1.1 million to pursue the case in search of accountability.
The plaintiffs argue that key decisions made during the original case allowed Epstein to avoid more serious charges for years, raising troubling questions about whether influential figures helped shield him from justice.
The lawsuit has quickly drawn widespread public attention and support, with many viewing it as a long-overdue effort to uncover the truth and hold powerful individuals accountable.
If the case moves forward, it could reveal significant new information about how the Epstein investigation was handled—and whether opportunities for justice were deliberately missed.
The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room.

It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.
This is Amy Eskridge.
She is one of the 11 scientists who has died/disappeared recently that’s linked to high government research and secrets.
Amy researched anti-gravity and in this clip reveals anti-gravity was already discovered 4 times, but each time the government suppressed it. She then reveals she was close to discovering it, but was threatened that she would be killed if she published it.
She was found dead shortly after this 2022 interview. It was ruled a “suicide” but no investigation details were made public and British intelligence officer Franc Milburn testified before Congress in 2023 that her death was not a suicide. She also said this a few months before her death: “If you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not.”
What is going on? Is our own government murdering scientists whose research and discoveries (i.e. free energy) threaten the profits of corporations and billionaires?
Holy shit, Kash Patel has been so completely intoxicated, the FBI has had to use "breaching equipment" to gain access to his place, where they could not awaken him.
Fire that guy immediately.
"Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery—subordination to the superior race—is his natural and normal condition".

"the cornerstone speech"
NASA wasn’t “closed” before Trump. The US doesn’t pay NATO anywhere close to “trillions of dollars” or “hundreds of billions of dollars a year.” Trump hasn’t built anywhere close to “over 1,000 miles of wall.” Trump hasn’t “ended eight wars.” It’s not true that “nobody” else has ended a war. Trump didn’t achieve “no tax on Social Security.” Ruth Bader Ginsburg died weeks before a presidential election, not right after one. Senator Thom Tillis is still a senator.
And more. Quick fact check of some of Trump’s many false claims on Fox this morning:

Chevron CEO: $104 million windfall between January and March
ConocoPhillips CEO: $54 million windfall in March alone
Baker Hughes CEO: $33 million windfall in March alone
NEW: The lawyer behind a plan to give Trump control over elections and pushing for “phone chips in voting machines” wants to be the next attorney general. Yes, really.
