It almost looks to me as if Iran is mocking Trump. It looks to me as if Iran understands how to exploit his hyperbole. It looks to me as if Iran understands strategy and posture better than him. It looks to me as if Iran doesn't yet want to give him an exit.
Trump cannot stop bloviating- it's pathological. He needs to project grandiosity or he'll melt. He keeps mixing falsity with threats. He keeps saying Iran is diminished and has no cards.
Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. That's a card.
Iran has enriched uranium. That's a card.
Iran took the US' best punch, and still fires missiles and drones. That's a card.
Iran still has its regime intact. That's a card.
Iran knows Trump is under political pressure before midterms and only cares about himself. That's a big card.
Iran knows Trump doesn't really speak for Netanyahu, who has used him as a patsy, so they can put it on Israeli attacks in Lebanon. That's a very big card.
Iran knows - Trump is a trapped moron. That's the biggest card of all.
The people of the Twin Cities win the JFK Profile in Courage award. Thanks to Amb. Caroline Kennedy for the amazing evening and Yusuf, Carolina, Zena & Natalie who accepted the award and represented our State so well at the ceremony! ❤️
@CMucketymuck@TedCanova@GaryLourisMusic@clubpassim@the_jayhawks Apples and oranges. The current principal songwriter of The Jayhawks has been on EVERY album since 1986, and, save for the first album, has never contributed less than 50% of the material. It's ridiculous - and inaccurate - to say that they've ever "broken up."
@ChrisRstrib I live close enough to hear their live music so this literally hits close to home. I know the hospitality industry in general - and the craft brew / tap room business in particular - is getting hit hard with rising costs & changing drinking habits but this still sucks big time.
@CMucketymuck@TedCanova@GaryLourisMusic@clubpassim@the_jayhawks The Jayhawks have never broken up. Band members have come and gone, as often happens with bands that have been around for 40 years. In fact, this is the official 40th anniversary year for the band's first release.
Frank and Andrea’s is our go to primarily due to proximity. That would not be the case if Hello was closer. #1 sounds intriguing but points off for its suburban location. Maybe the next time I’m in Plymouth…. whenever that may be.
TOP Questions (so far) following the WHCD “alleged” assassination attempt. In no order of importance. STAGED?
Why was there a post from 2023 that simply stating the shooters first and last name?
Why was the shooters shirt off?
Why did the SS look so disorganized?
Why has trump skipped EVERY WHCD until this one?
Why did the shooter mention he especially was NOT targeting Kash Patel?
Why was the shooters name searched hundreds of times in Israel, a DAY before the incident?
Why did Karoline Leavitt’s husband warn a Fox News reporter to be “very safe” prior to the shooting?
Why did the shooting just happen to occur at a time that trumps poll numbers are the lowest of any modern President
Why did the shooter book a $3k a night hotel room MONTHS ago for an event that trump NEVER attends, until he recently announced he would.
Why was trumps Deputy Chief of Staff climbing on a chair to start a chant of “USA, USA…”
Why would an award winning tutor, Caltech Grad and NASA intern try to pull off such a crude, unplanned attempt.
Why did the Secret Service LOWER their security protocols that night?
Why was Hegseth seen laughing very shortly after the shooting event?
Why was VP Vance removed BEFORE the President?
Why was the President allowed to stay on the scene and observe with seemingly no security protecting him?
Why did right wing social media ALL come out with the same “Ballroom” talking point only minutes after the shooting?
Why does it appear that the same SS agents that failed in Butler, PA were on the scene at the WHCD?
Why did the SS agents appear to be GROSSLY untrained, frequently mishandling their firearms?
Why did the entire cabinet look downright jovial after being put through an active shooter event, not traumatized like most people would be?
Why was nearly the entire cabinet, President on down, present in one location, a serious break in National Security policy and procedures.
Why was the post from 2023 by a NASA scientist named Henry Martinez, linking him to NASA intern Cole Allen?
Why did trump lie about tripping/falling to the ground?
Why did a Fox News correspondent have her phone call cut off when she revealed what Karoline Levitt’s husband told her?
How does a person reportedly carrying multiple weapons pass or bypass initial screening at a presidential level event?
Why would a planner send incriminating intent BEFORE escape or success?
How did the trump admin KNOW the intent of the shooter just minutes after the event?
Why was the narrative outpacing formal ID confirmation?
How did the admin KNOW it was a “lone wolf “ situation so quickly?
Why didn’t the Washington Hilton have layered screening protections?
Was this a TRUE breach, or something else entirely?
Why would someone with no criminal record suddenly risk being killed for such a low success probability attempt?
Why were there reports of inconsistent or absent ID checks at the event?
HOW did a person allegedly carrying multiple weapons penetrate what was supposed to be a layered security event close enough to engage inside the perimeter structure?
Why after Butler, PA were security protocols not MORE ridged?
The QUESTIONS keep mounting and are starting to point to what could be yet another STAGED assassination attempt at a time when trump is at his lowest level of popularity, Epstein story not going away and rumblings of Butler PA resurfacing louder than EVER!
Record Store Day 2026 is tomorrow. The Jayhawks are joining the fray this year with an archival release of live recordings from 1997 & 2000 that were originally done for the famed Dutch 2 Meter Sessions program.

@SharylAttkisson Great humor post! I’ve owned a home in Minneapolis for 48 years and spend the majority of my free time within the city limits. You’re full of shit. Have a great day.
