For the first time in 70 years the UN broke from consensus for the global reaffirmation of women’s rights. 37 Nations in favor & 1 against. Of course that one against the reaffirmation of women’s rights was the United States because of language that included:

-diversity, equity & inclusion
-the effects of climate change on women
- regulations for AI
-the definition of gender
- the reproductive health rights of women&girls

Don’t ever try to tell me this administration cares about women & girls.

Looks like fingerpointing for Trump’s failure to win Epic Fury has started already in NatSec world.

I have not heard anyone say the Joint Staff, the Pentagon or the theater commanders did not know the scenario or risks of Iran closing the SOH.

It’s 100% clear President Trump did not care or dismissed the warnings of economic attacks on the SOH or Gulf States outright.

Should this war continue as is, the entire global economy is at risk of collapse.

He said it just today that Iran’s retaliation against the Gulf States economies & oil and the SOH was the "Biggest surprise I had of this whole thing."

This WH has proven again and again they don't listen to experts, generals or warfighters.

His closest advisors are Laura Loomer & Stephen Miller; a pair of interchangeable nutcases and rabid sadists.

The WH is suspicious and contemptuous of the military’s education, experience & valor.

Hegseth proves Piss Poor Planning Does NOT Prevent Pathetic Political Performance.

Trump has publicly stated he is smarter than all of his Generals.

Now those Generals have to follow orders to try to meet disjointed, contradictory and unachievable goals.

This is looking a lot like Führer Bunker decision making.

One of the Americans killed when a KC-135 went down in Iraq has been identified.

Major Alex Klinner. He is survived by his wife. And three children. A 2-year-old. And 7-month-old twins.

His twins will never know their father.
His 2-year-old will barely remember him.

This is not a statistic. This is not a number in a casualty count the Pentagon refuses to release.

This is a man who had a family.
Trump declared victory 5 times in 13 seconds.

Major Alex Klinner’s children will grow up without him.

🚨DISGRACEFUL: Republicans are now trying to blame Obama and Biden for a war Trump started.

Let’s be precise.

The Obama Iran nuclear deal — the JCPOA — froze Iran’s nuclear program. International inspectors were on the ground. Enrichment was capped. The program was contained.

Trump withdrew from it in 2018.

After Trump withdrew, Iran began enriching uranium again. From 3.5% to 20% to 60% — the level it reached when Trump launched this war.

The $400 million McEnany is citing was Iran’s own money — frozen since 1979 — returned as part of a legal settlement over a decades-old arms deal. This is documented public record.

The $6 billion Biden unfroze was also Iran’s own money — released for humanitarian purposes and mostly never spent.

Iran’s nuclear program escalated because Trump dismantled the agreement that contained it.

Trump then launched a war to destroy the program his own policy allowed to grow.

And Republicans are on television blaming Obama.
The MAGA base voted for an end to foreign wars.
They got a war built on a lie, blamed on a predecessor, with 14 Americans dead and no exit strategy.

All roads lead to the truth.

[P a u l ◉ @SkylineReport]

Trump just posted a graphic bragging that he’s “reshaping the media.”

It literally lists journalists pushed out, public broadcasters “defunded,” layoffs at major outlets, and regulatory pressure as “wins.”

Read that again.

A president openly celebrating the use of political power to punish critics and pressure the press.

That’s not media criticism.

That’s media capture — the playbook authoritarian leaders use to bend the information system toward themselves. [1][2]

And the most dangerous part?

He’s not hiding it anymore.

BREAKING: The family of Tyler Simmons, the 28-year old U.S. Airman who lost his life when his KC-135 crashed in Iraq is calling on Trump to end his stupid war.

“This could have been prevented. We didn’t need to be in this war. This is uncalled for.”

“Families are suffering right now. To create a war just because you want to create a war is not right. It’s not right!”

WHEN A PRESIDENT STARTS THREATENING TV STATIONS DURING A WAR, YOU KNOW THE TRUTH ISN’T GOING HIS WAY

When a President starts trying to silence the news during a war, it usually means the war is not going the way he claims.

Donald Trump says he’s winning.
He says Iran’s navy is crippled.
He says their leadership is gone.
He says the threat is finished.

And yet the Strait of Hormuz — the most important oil passage on Earth — is still closed.

Which means something very simple.

The war Trump claims is “over” is clearly not over.

Oil tankers are stalled.
Global energy markets are choking.

The world is sitting on the sidelines waiting for this disaster to play out.

And now, suddenly, the White House wants television networks to stop reporting inconvenient facts.

Enter FCC Chairman Brendan Carr — what I call “the bully with a briefcase.”

His message to broadcasters was simple:
Report the war the way Trump likes it…
or your license might mysteriously have “problems.”

Now let’s translate that into plain English:
The government is hinting that if journalists don’t repeat the official story, they could lose their right to broadcast.

That’s not democracy.

That’s what happens in countries where leaders hold press conferences and firing squads in the same building.

And here’s the part that should concern every American.
These threats are not about correcting “fake news.”

They’re about hiding the truth.
Because the truth is messy.
The Strait of Hormuz is closed.
Oil is stuck.

The world’s economies are watching nervously.
And the allies Trump insulted for years are now politely sitting back saying: “Good luck with that.”

Funny how that works.

You spend years mocking NATO, insulting world leaders, cozying up to dictators…Then suddenly you need help with the war YOU started.

And nobody shows up.

Now Trump wants the press to help him sell the illusion of victory.

Sorry.

This country doesn’t work that way.

The Constitution begins with three powerful words:
WE THE PEOPLE.
Not WE THE PROPAGANDA.

And no FCC bureaucrat with a clipboard is going to bully the truth off the air.

…
If you believe in a free press, help make some noise. Share the truth so others can see how this administration is trying to muzzle the media and hide what’s really happening in Trump’s War in Iran.

Buttigieg: "The president's political operation was raising money off images at a dignified transfer. Any politician who does that has no business leading American troops into war. If the president is willing to raise campaign funds over the bodies of America's war dead, he is unfit to be the commander in chief."
