War with Iran

[Uncle Rico]

I thought we were in it to free the oppressed people?

No.  We're in it to make more profits, regardless the cost of human lives and American prestige

[Hards Alumni]

Yeah, that was crazy sh!t. It's the latest example why more and more American Jews are not automatically rubber-stamping Israeli government actions and policy, especially when it comes to wars and/or Gaza.

They do that every single day.  Go find the tweets some of these monsters put out, but find them in Hebrew and hit the translate button.

They're just Nazis

War with Iran is easy.  Kill the mullahs.  Take the oil.  Case closed.

And don't worry about the millions of civilian casualties under 5-Point Muggsy's plan. They aren't manatees, so not important.

If you mean the Trumps, Kushners, Witkoffs, and Lutnicks cruelly opposed from reaping blood profits, then sure.

I didn't read this, but did it mention him ruining our relationship with RSK to placate the DPRK, who then thanked him by launching a dozen ballistic missles?

No, but North Korea are good socialists

Hell, Reagan was known to shake hands with Kim Il Sung at the DMZ on an annual basis.  He'd have loved this.

There has never been a Pentagon spouse quite like Jennifer Hegseth.

In May she was in camouflage shorts and a sweat-drenched T-shirt that said "This Is War" working out with sailors, Marines and her husband, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, on the deck of the U.S.S. Boxer in Singapore. In June she and six of the couple's seven children accompanied Mr. Hegseth to the D-Day commemoration in Normandy, where a Defense Department promotional video with a swelling, cinematic soundtrack captured husband and wife walking arm in arm on Omaha Beach. The imagery seemed to cast her as the first lady of the Pentagon.

Last year Washington got a different view when she was included in a group Signal chat in which Mr. Hegseth shared attack plans for U.S. warplanes targeting the Houthis in Yemen. ...

Mrs. Hegseth was for years Mr. Hegseth's producer at Fox News as he built a broadcast career. Now, seven years into their marriage, she is his most influential adviser and his de facto producer at the Pentagon. She has prepped him for appearances, sat in on his meetings with journalists, interviewed potential members of his staff and brainstormed ideas for the Defense Department videos he — and sometimes she — appears in.

Last year she was in a highly sensitive meeting with her husband and top British defense officials after the United States temporarily stopped sharing military intelligence with Ukraine, The Wall Street Journal first reported. In a previously undisclosed part of that meeting, a Trump administration official told The New York Times, the British indicated that they had officers on the ground in Ukraine and that without the U.S. intelligence, including early warnings of incoming missiles from Russia, the officers' lives were at risk. ...

Her involvement in the Defense Department is so unusual that it has led to questions about Mr. Hegseth's leadership. He is already under pressure for the high cost of the Iran war, shrinking munitions stockpiles, poor conditions aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln during an eight-and-a-half-month deployment in the Middle East, firings of senior military leaders, and blocking the promotions of women and minorities.

"It's bonkers that a defense secretary would involve his wife in his sensitive official duties, including sharing details of an impending military operation, and face zero consequences," said John Ullyot, who left the Pentagon as chief spokesman after three months working under Mr. Hegseth and has been critical of his leadership. "Any president deserves better judgment from his national security leaders."

"This is not normal," Senator Chris Coons of Delaware, a senior Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said last year on MSNBC during the uproar over Mrs. Hegseth's inclusion in the chat and high-level meetings. "Secretary Hegseth has one of the highest levels of classification access. He can't just hand that to his wife and say, 'Here, honey, hold my beer, and hold my classified information.'"

Diesel prices higher $2 a gallon in 11 states versus last year.

Arizona, South Carolina, California, Ohio, New Mexico, Virginia, Colorado, Texas, NJ, Louisiana and North Carolina.

Just a few pennies more for companies to fill the tanks of their fleet trucks.

If only it just affected those companies. They pass costs to the companies they service, and those companies pass them on to everyday Americans.

But sure, it simply means buying your kids only 2 or 3 pencils for Christmas.

Maybe a dumb question... is Cuba Gooding Jr.'s character in Pearl Harbor based off this guy?

EDIT:  Looked it up.  Character not just based on him, it is him.

Well, we are a confederacy of dunces.

Speaking of which, DOD fires the editor of the Stars and Stripes for lack of Pravda-like coverage of the armed forces.

Maybe this is what Muggsy is afraid of, these socialist tendencies of the current administration.  Or not.
