It makes you wonder why they even fessed up to 13.

They went down in highly visible plane crashes.  Iranian media crowed about it. Grunts on the ground, not so visible.

In this case among the many buildings totally demolished were BARRACKS, where MIRACULOUSLY there were no grunts asleep, smoking reefer or jerking off to internet porn.🙄

War / Trump’s Base Motives

Trump’s Base Motives

Iranian airstrikes have damaged or destroyed at least 228 structures or pieces of equipment at U.S. military sites across the Middle East since the war began.

Hitting hangars, barracks, fuel depots, aircraft and key radar, communications and air defense equipment, according to a Washington Post analysis of satellite imagery. The amount of destruction is far larger than what has been publicly acknowledged by the U.S. government or previously reported.

No big surprise that Trumpolini has been covering up the destruction of FSoA Airbases in Saudi, Kuwait and Bahrain.  I'd also still bet given that level of destruction that the current claim that only 13 grunts have been killed is a pile of horseshit. 😒

His Trumpness must be wildly pissed off at WaPo & Bezos for doing an end-around on FSoA censorship of Satellite Imagery and getting the facts out. 😁  Jeffy finally does something worthwhile with his media acquisition.

Obviously this clarifies why the Trumpenator wanted a Ceasefire, besides being short on Ammo, half their operating bases have suffered near total destruction and they're short on planes and radar installations.  Also why the war isn't close to being over and Hormuz reopened for shipping the Black Gold to power Happy Motoring and factories around the world.

The Market of course is still in denial and posting record highs on days El Trumpo makes a new claim that "Peace is Just Around the Corner".  When reality finally sets in maybe around Harvest Time, the bloodbath will be worth the wait.

Iranian Navy Fires Warning Shots at US Destroyers near Strait of Hormuz

The Iranian Navy fired warning shots near hostile vessels after US destroyers attempted to approach the Strait of Hormuz, warning that any such move would be regarded as a violation of the ceasefire.

The peace president's war is back on.  Why?  Because Trump is a thief who has no intention of making peace.

At this point Trump has come to the conclusion that his grip on the throne is stronger with a war.
The history of "war presidents" in the United States is defined by the "Rally 'round the flag" effect. A major international crisis or war triggers a massive, short-term spike in presidential approval ratings as the public views the president as a symbol of national unity rather than a partisan figure.

This does not apply when the president starts the war.  Making the crisis won't work for Trump this time.  Trump is toast.  The coils are hot.  Trump's bread is white.  He will turn brown and pop, or he will smoke and blacken.  The coils are hot, it has to happen.  The Rubicon is crossed.

It works just fine.  It is selective though.  With people, I remember all the really hot women I ever met and anyone who had interesting ideas to chat about.  Anybody else is mostly a crap shoot, except for rude, fat, boring, stupid, anonymous and ugly people who I nearly always forget.  More than 1 of those attributes increases the chance you will be forgotten.  If the person also has interesting ideas besides being ugly for instance, it increase the chance I remember them.  So it's no surprise you didn't get a storage bin in the archives.

Japan Buys Russian Oil for the First Time Since Hormuz Closure

Japan is set to receive its first shipment of Russian crude oil since the conflict in the Middle East disrupted global energy supplies.


And the average cost of gas in Seattle is $5.795 a gallon now.

SHIT! We've only hit about $4.50 lately. Normally wouldn't notice when quietly zooming by gas stations, but the wife required me to take her out for a fountain drink and I noticed the price the suckers....excuse me...the ICE powered people who are forced to suffer from not being worldly wise to the limited nature of crude oil and products produced from them.

GO EV!!!

Not at all. One of us has already described the events because we remember them. And the other has claimed no memory of said meeting. Your statement is contradicted by your previous claim of not remembering me at all. Tsk tsk.

Well, the "briefly" could certainly be less than 30 minutes or so, as for a minute or two you were wobbling around demonstrating the toy like nature of that little electric scooter thing was when you weren't standing.

Perhaps you were still loaded from all the partying that weekend, and you can explain being able to stand as you were half in the bag?

Like I said, you can't claim to remember something when you've already claimed not to. I can only relate the facts of the matter. Facts are handy when working as a scientist. And they are easier to have when not half baked from a party masquerading as a sales pitch for a Amish park of some sort.

Israel is making Palestinians disappear in more ways than one

Reports of missing children and 'evaporated' bodies reveal a widening pattern of erasure in Gaza, where entire families are killed, lost under rubble or reduced to biological traces.

US congressmen introduce resolution condemning Hasan Piker for alleged antisemitism

Piker rejected resolution, saying: 'I have spent my entire career combating all forms of bigotry including antisemitism and will continue to do'.


The American Israel Public Affairs Cmte donated $275,830 to Mike Lawler in 2025.

The American Israel Public Affairs Cmte donated $525,265 to Josh Gottheimer in 2025.

The resolution put forth by Democrat Josh Gottheimer and Republican Mike Lawler accuses the popular left-wing streamer Piker and right-wing podcaster Owens of amplifying "antisemitic narratives online" and contributing to an "increase of violence against Jewish individuals, institutions, and communities" in the US.

America, the Fascist Cuk.

And the average cost of gas in Seattle is $5.795 a gallon now.  With California Washington has the highest in the country.  I need to snap a photo of the closest station to me.  It is a Shell station.  Diesel was over $7 and all the gas was over $6.  Quite the the sight to see with the numbers brightly lit up in the early morning light.  Mesmerizing, as in holy fuck!

Meanwhile Trump and Co. manipulate the stock market.  Considering which oligarchs are now most corrupt; if I could get Russian gas I would.
