WOW! Former CIA Director John Brennan just humiliated Donald Trump in front of millions of Americans watching their gas prices and grocery bills soar through the roof as the economy pushes recession levels.
He called Trump a pathological liar, incompetent and deeply corrupt.
Brennan made it clear Trump had no real reason besides financial gain to start this war to begin with, and now he has no real way out but to try to paint a false narrative, desperately claiming the Iranians seem to be the more reasonable ones.
America went from a democratic experiment to pushing open the doors of tyranny.
Gen. Mark Milley: We are unique among the world's militaries. We don't take an oath to a king or a queen, or to a tyrant, or a dictator, and we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We don't take an oath to an individual. We take an oath to the Constitution. It is that document that all of us in uniform swear to protect and defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic. We will never turn our back on the Constitution. That is our North Star.
En el pedestal de dos metros de altura, hecho con un bloque de piedra del antiguo Arsenal, al nombre del capitán Alatriste se añadirá: "A los soldados que a lo largo de los siglos embarcaron en Cartagena para combatir lejos de su patria".
"Cuanto más se acostumbraban los ciudadanos a obedecer órdenes injustas, menos recordaban que antaño habían sido libres. Y así, con la excusa de la paz y la estabilidad, aceptaban sin protestar imposiciones que en otro tiempo habrían considerado intolerables".
(Tácito. Anales)
"A whole civilization will die tonight” are words no President of the United States had ever spoken until this morning. Donald Trump’s behavior is unhinged and making Americans less safe. After a 25-year career in the United States Navy, I have never met or served with anyone who so completely lacks the qualities of good leadership as Donald Trump does.
If the President takes the actions he has threatened to take, countless Iranian civilians will die, it will massively escalate this war, and the United States will be seen as a country without a moral or ethical compass. That will make Americans less safe right now and risk the lives of thousands of service members. The consequences will have a lasting and damaging effect on our nation.
Trump's mistakes have led us to this perilous moment, but the solution is not to escalate even further. This must stop.
A inicios de los 90 ella lo tenía todo para una carrera imparable. Tenía voz. Tenía actitud. Y tenía una canción que se convirtió en un gran éxito.
Hasta que decidió denunciar una injusticia en televisión.
Y todo se fue al traste.

"Entregada a lingüistas que asumen dócilmente cuanto ocurre, la RAE da más peso a periódicos mal escritos, tertulias o redes sociales que a la autoridad de escritores, filólogos y creadores que trabajaron la lengua con rigor".

A veces no se agachan las orejas, y de justicia es reconocerlo. Es interesante la carta-respuesta de Maurici Lucena, presidente de AENA, al chantaje y chulería de Ryanair. Por su interés la reproduzco completa en cinco tuiteos sucesivos. Que la disfruten como yo.

Su enorme talento le convirtió en una de las grandes figuras de la música Soul.
Y en gran parte fue gracias a una voz melódica que no ocultaba sus ansias de justicia.
Y quizás por ello su muerte sigue envuelta entre sombras.

Si los ucranianos quisieran la paz **a cualquier precio**, el primer día de la invasión habrían dejado a los tanques rusos llegar al centro de Kiev y q Putin hiciera lo q quisiese.
Después de 3 años, pensaba que esto era algo evidente, pero por lo visto muchos siguen sin verlo.
We are Americans.
We are the most powerful nation on the planet.
What defines us is not our power to dominate the weak.
What demonstrates our character is not our capacity to traumatize the afflicted.
What speaks our truth is not how we taunt, deride or belittle the embattled, broken or battered.
We are:
The country of the Marshall Plan
The nation of The Berlin Airlift
The nation whose leader said, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”
We are at our best when we are resolute against evil -- not when we kowtow to those who perpetrate it.
We tell our truth when we defend the weak -- not when we do it only if we get protection money.
We are America when our leaders call the dictators dictators and those who fight to defend democracy against tyranny what they are: heroes.
Donald Trump and JD Vance didn't show strength today -- they showed weakness.
They belittled a giant and showed just how small they are.
They have the most vaunted titles in the world: President and Vice President of The United States of America. But the title doesn't make the man. And today both men brought shame to their titles.
A weary warrior was before them. A beleaguered man who has lost thousands of his friends and comrades to the unjust and illegal aggression of an authoritarian leader.
They showed no grace; no magnanimity of spirit; no diplomatic acumen. They were small bullies with big titles and they disrespected the history and legacy of the nation they lead.
Today, Donald Trump acted more like Russia's Putin than America's President.
Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.
Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.
