Not sure I am the person you want to follow - but hey - it's a free world! I hope to share mindless wisdom along the way, and maybe a good nugget or two!

Trump on Iran War:

Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal?

Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

Trump fell asleep with his face drooping in the Oval Office during a meeting today. This is a real video that should concern every American. He’s not fit to serve.

JUST IN: Not one general. Three. On the same day. During a war.

On April 2, Pete Hegseth fired the head of the United States Army, the chief of its training command, and its top chaplain. General Randy George, the Army Chief of Staff. Lieutenant General David Hodne, commanding the newly merged Transformation and Training Command that prepares every soldier for combat. Major General William Green Jr., the Army’s Chief of Chaplains, the officer responsible for the spiritual readiness of every soldier who might die in the next operation. Command. Training. Spiritual care. The Army’s head, hands, and soul removed in a single afternoon while 4,000 paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne are deploying to the Gulf and hundreds of special operators are staged at forward bases across four allied nations.

No misconduct was cited for any of the three. No operational failure was identified. Hegseth gave George no reason at all. The clashes, according to the Washington Post and New York Times, centred on promotion lists. Hegseth had personally blocked officers from advancing. George and Hodne resisted. The resistance lasted until April 2. Then it did not.

The specific combination is the signal. You do not fire the man who commands the Army, the man who trains it, and the man who prays over it on the same afternoon unless you are rebuilding the institution from the top down. George controlled the chain of command. Hodne controlled what soldiers learn, how they prepare, and what doctrine they follow into combat. Green controlled the pastoral infrastructure that holds an army together when the killing starts. Replacing all three simultaneously is not a personnel adjustment. It is an institutional transplant performed without anaesthesia on a patient that is currently in surgery.

George’s replacement is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve, Hegseth’s former senior military aide. The man who carried the Defence Secretary’s briefcase now runs the Army. Hodne’s and Green’s successors have not been named. The training pipeline and the chaplain corps are headless while the USS Gerald R. Ford sails back toward CENTCOM and the IRGC publishes target lists of bridges across four allied capitals.

Twenty-six generals and admirals have now been fired or sidelined since Hegseth took office. The purge began with Joint Chiefs Chairman CQ Brown in February 2025, continued through a 20 percent cut in four-star billets, and accelerated on April 2 with three simultaneous firings that stripped the Army of its senior leadership during week five of the most significant American combat operation since Iraq.

Easter is April 5. The IRGC has said attacks will “intensify from next week.” The Ford is heading back to the Gulf. The Kharg option sits on a table that now has fewer people around it who might object. And the Chief Chaplain who would have been responsible for the spiritual preparation of soldiers landing on an Iranian beach was fired three days before the holiday that commemorates resurrection.

The question from the earlier George story remains, but it has grown wider. What order requires removing not just the one man who might say no, but the man who trains the soldiers to execute it and the man who prays over them when they do?

Three generals. One afternoon. No reasons. And Easter is in three days.

This post from @POTUS is thoroughly despicable, totally predictable...and utterly authentic.

@DanCollins2011 Look at the Fox website, not a single item about the deaths or our military this past weekend. But near the top of their page you can read about Kimmel’s jokes and how they fell flat at the Oscar’s.

Just because CBS kneels to Trump doesn’t mean the rest of us have to.

Pass this along on every one of your social media accounts.

Make sure it is seen far and wide in our country.

@Acyn It literally took an act of Congress for him to do it. If Trump wanted to be could have this started the moment he was sworn in 11 months ago.
