Squandering the Majority

House Speaker Mike Weaselon just sent everyone home until November, effectively squandering what might be last of their majority and ability to actually get anything done.

Golden Age!

I'm old enough to remember a few days ago when @RepThomasMassie predicted this exactly and Mike Soggson called him stupid for it.

So it goes, Massie took the podium today and clowned them all. There's too many great points he made in the hour long speech so I clipped a few of my favorites.

He talks bringing our troops home, legislation he's pushed for years, importing mystery meat, paid social media slopsters, empty suits reading AI speeches and more.

The Ukrainian army suffers 27,000 casualties a month, according to the Polish PM. Yet, the European leaders reject diplomacy with Russia to end the war. If these were European soldiers, we would have agreed a long time ago to end NATO expansion and put an end to this proxy war. Instead, we have Western leaders going to Kiev and encouraging Zelensky to start conscripting women as they are running out of men.

US missile tech is AT LEAST a decade behind Russian, Chinese, and most Iranian missile tech. They're not even in the same league. Even the Yemeni field much more capable ballistic strike missiles than the Americans.

🇺🇸🇷🇺 US Senator Blumenthal threatens Russia, China and India:

"To Vladimir Putin, we have your number. Your economy is reeling. We are going to throttle your war machine. To China and India, you better clean up your act. Buy your oil and gas somewhere else."

The war with Iran seems to have lost purpose, US stakes in the middle east destroyed as Russian Ural Crude hit $120. China and India are buying in bulk but the American elites are furious.

Unfortunately for them, the US in today's world is no one to tell China and India of a billion population each what they can or can't do.

If there is no denial, then we can conclude that Trump, the Israeli regime, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, and Egypt are all allies.

This is a commentator from Yemen.

If one desires to understand the world as it REALLY is, one must permit people to speak for themselves, rather than draw conclusions from what others say about them.

🇸🇦🇾🇪‼️🚨 Houthis chant: “This will be the fate of Al Saud: submission and humiliation in Yemen.”

The Houthis shot down a Saudi F-15.

The situation in Yemen stays in the Houthis’ favor. They can hold their gains and defend against other Yemeni groups supported by the Saudis.

This is critical for global trade, as the Houthis now control a second key strait for world trade.

The “Gate of Tears” facilitates 40% of global container traffic. The Houthis now control it, and that will not change, it seems.

14 Russian spy satellites moved over a US military base in Saudi Arabia two days before a devastating attack by Iran.

The timing & sequencing of the spacecraft gave them access to a large spectrum of data which, sources say, helped Iran conduct some of its most precise attacks against US assets. @tamaraqiblawi reports.

Once again, Europe woke up to reckless and dangerous Russian behaviour.

A Russian warship fired emergency flares dangerously close to a Danish helicopter.

A drone entered Lithuanian airspace before being destroyed by NATO fighter jets.

These are not isolated incidents. They are part of a broader pattern of Russian aggression and provocation against Europe, testing our readiness and our resolve.

Russia will find our resolve only growing stronger.

We are reinforcing our collective deterrence and defence, together with NATO. And we are stepping up the pressure on Russia.

BREAKING: Yemen’s Houthis appear to have struck three separate important energy infrastructures across Saudi Arabia — the YASREF refinery in Yanbu, Aramco’s Abha bulk plant and an area in Dammam — with major fires reported at all three sites.

In Yanbu, footage shows a large fire at the 400,000-barrel-per-day YASREF refinery, with thick black smoke and workers reportedly evacuated. NASA FIRMS has detected two heat anomalies inside the facility, including one at high confidence.

Abha, in southwestern Saudi Arabia, was also hit, with footage showing major fires at an Aramco bulk plant following reported Houthi drone and missile attacks.

In eastern Saudi Arabia, additional footage shows a large fire in Dammam, marking another reported incident hundreds of kilometers from Yanbu and Abha.

Three locations. Three regions.

Saudi Arabia’s energy infrastructure is now being pressured from the Red Sea coast to the southwest and deep into the east.

This is no longer one strike.

It is a nationwide test of Saudi Arabia’s oil infrastructure.

1. YASREF refinery in Yanbu.
3. Aramco’s Abha bulk plant.
4. Dammam

According to an informed federal official, in the coming months the Trump administration plans to send a total of 40,000 Mark 84 and Blu-117 bombs to the government of Israel. Each bomb weighs 2,000 pounds. This appears to be the largest transfer of conventional explosive ordnance from the United States in modern history.

How big is this shipment? It amounts to 40,000 tons of bombs. For perspective, the largest American air raid of World War Two was the Eighth Air Force’s attack on Berlin in March of 1945. Combined, the 2,023 Allied aircraft involved dropped about 3,000 tons of bombs. That’s 7.5 percent of what Trump is sending to Israel. That same month, March of 1945, the US Army Air Forces began the single most destructive bombing raid in human history, Operation Meetinghouse over Tokyo. More than 100,000 Japanese civilians were killed. By the end of that operation, the US had dropped 1,600 tons of bombs. That’s four percent of what Trump is sending to Israel. World War Two ended five months later, when the US dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima. The shipment Trump is sending to Israel amounts to more than three times the destructive power of that nuclear explosion. There is no precedent for what the Trump administration is doing.

Nor is there a justification. The government of Israel is not fighting World War Two, or even a war. It is engaged in periodic skirmishes with a guerrilla force in Lebanon, and it is working to exterminate an unarmed civilian population in Gaza. Neither front requires modern 2,000-pound bombs.

An American-made Mark 84 has a destruction radius of half a mile. It releases a thermal wave the temperature of the surface of the sun. Within 100 feet of the explosion, rock melts and human flesh turns to vapor. The bomb collapses apartment buildings and leaves craters thirty-five feet deep. Until the war with Iran, the US military generally avoided using the Mark 84 in urban areas. It kills too many civilians.

For the Netanyahu government, that’s been the upside. In the weeks after October 7, the IDF dropped nearly six hundred 2,000-pound bombs on densely populated areas in Gaza, including on more than 100 officially designated civilian evacuation zones. The slaughter was so grotesque and embarrassing that for a moment the Biden administration paused a shipment of Mark 84s. Those shipments quickly resumed under Trump. Now they’ve accelerated.

It’s hard to overstate the scale of the crime the Israeli government is committing in Gaza. Over the last three years, more than a quarter-million Palestinians have been killed or wounded by Israeli forces there. The majority of them have been noncombatants: women, the elderly and tens of thousands of children. Many thousands more remain missing, presumably entombed under the rubble of 200,000 collapsed buildings. So far the Israelis have destroyed 92 percent of all homes in Gaza, and 34 of the 36 hospitals. By comparison, the 1945 Allied bombings of Dresden, now acknowledged as a war crime, destroyed about half of the city’s inhabited buildings.

By any definition, what the Netanyahu government has done in Gaza is genocide. The 40,000 new bombs the Trump administration is sending will be used to do the same in Lebanon, and likely in other countries in the region. If you wanted to extend the Iran war into the indefinite future, this is exactly what you’d do.

So far none of this has received public scrutiny. At some point, inevitably, it will be described in media accounts as an “arms sale.” It is not an arms sale. It is a gift, funded by American taxpayers through the Foreign Military Financing program, an arrangement designed to disguise welfare as capitalism: Congress appropriates money to the executive branch, which transfers the cash to Israel to “buy” American-made weapons, in this case from General Dynamics. Politicians claim this is a win for America. Most voters have no idea they paid for it. The bill in this case is about $3 billion. Add that to the $352 billion the US Treasury has transferred to Israel since 1951.

How did this happen? The request for 40,000 new high-explosive civilian-killing bombs originated at the US Embassy in Jerusalem, which is run by Christian Zionist Ambassador Mike Huckabee and his aide David Milstein, who is the stepson of Fox News host Mark Levin. From there it moved to the State Department, where Marco Rubio enthusiastically approved it.

At this point, only four more people need to sign off before the bombs ship to Israel: Senators Jim Risch and Jeanne Shaheen, the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; and Congressmen Brian Mast and Gregory Meeks, the top two members of the equivalent House committee. All four are committed neocons. Collectively they’ve taken millions from the Israel lobby. In 2015, Brian Mast traveled to Israel to volunteer for the Israeli military. In 2023, Mast showed up in the House of Representatives wearing an IDF uniform.

It’s hard to imagine any of them hesitating before sending more free bombs to Israel. Only public outrage can stop this.
