I‘m pretty sure that the rhetoric didn’t help Trump find an offramp but you be you, NYT!

Thus far, it looks like Trump can't speak for Israel or UAE, and Pezeshkian can't speak for IRGC.

Trump was elected to wipe the trauma of the first black president from American history, a task which included scrapping the nuclear deal that had the US in a much better strategic position than before this needless, unconstitutional war of choice against Iran

Why MAGA men actually loathe tradwives A new study shows submissive women aren't cherished but are held in contempt

The right's pitch for women's submission is that it will cause men to provide, protect, and cherish women.

Turns out the opposite is true. Research shows conservative men see tradwives as lazy parasites. They loathe them.

Iran outsmarted Donald Trump, which is sort of like Beth Harmon in "The Queen's Gambit" outsmarting an Arby's drive-through speaker by playing a pawn instead of her Queen first to get curly fries.

#India is set to receive a shipment of #Iranian #oil this week, its first purchase from #Iran in seven years, Reuters reports.

The President of the United States is threatening war crimes. That alone is illegal. He is unfit for office. I am urging the entire military command to remember your oath to the Constitution. Do not follow illegal orders. Do not commit war crimes. The stain and repercussions will be endless.

It's a blowout victory for the Democrat in the statewide Supreme Court vote in Wisconsin, a state Trump won in 2024.
