During his campaign for president Donald J. Trump repeatedly said he would not start any new wars. He specifically said he wouldn't start another never ending war in the Middle East. I guess he lied or didn't really mean it.

“Has President Trump learned nothing from decades of U.S. meddling in Iran and forever wars in the Middle East? Is he too mentally incapacitated to realize that we had a diplomatic agreement with Iran that was keeping its nuclear program in check, until he ripped it up during his first term?
“For months, I have raised hell about the fact that the
American people want lower prices, not more war—especially wars that
aren’t authorized by Congress, as required by the Constitution, and
don’t have a clear objective. These strikes are a colossal mistake, and I
pray they do not cost our sons and daughters in uniform and at
embassies throughout the region their lives. The Senate should
immediately return to session and vote on my War Powers Resolution to
block the use of U.S. forces in hostilities against Iran. Every single
Senator needs to go on the record about this dangerous, unnecessary, and
idiotic action.” --Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) this morning, commenting on the Malignant Fascist's unauthorized attack on Iran. Of course, that was a rhetorical question Kaine posed in the first sentence. The Malignant Fascist knows nothing and can learn nothing, and is solely governed by his narcissistic id.
____________________
"Most things in international relations are complicated. This one is not; the war was fully avoidable and President Trump is wholly responsible for failing to avoid it." -- Dr. Robert Farley, Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce, University of Kentucky; also a founder and contributor to the Lawyers, Guns and Money blog.
After the Malignant Fascist and his Israeli counterpart Netanyahu launched a much-anticipated attack this morning on Iran's regime (see post below), a number of allies have expressed worries that the attack will prompt a broader, more deadly war in the region. Some sample reactions that the Associated Press has collected:
France's Emmanuel Macron: “The escalation underway is dangerous for everyone. It must stop. The outbreak of war among the United States, Israel and Iran has serious consequences for peace and international security.″
The U.K.'s Keir Starmer (through a spokesperson): “We do not want to see further escalation into a wider regional conflict.”
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa:“We call on all parties to exercise maximum restraint, to protect civilians, and to fully respect international law."
None have defended the cruel and unpopular Iranian regime, although the MF's friends in Moscow condemned the attack as a “pre-planned and unprovoked act of armed aggression against a sovereign and independent U.N. member state," language similar to that used in condemning the MF's attack on Venezuela and seizure of its dictator Nicolas Maduro.
Germany and the U.K. are holding emergency meetings with their relevant ministries, and France has called for an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council. Apparently little or no warning of the attack was provided to our allies, who have personnel and facilities in the region that could be attacked by Iran. A recurring theme among them is that the MF's unilateral action may also violate international law, something the MF is assuredly not concerned with any more than he is with U.S. laws.
The mother of all distractions was launched early this morning by the Malignant Fascist and Bibi "Bomb Bomb" Netanyahu:
The U.S. and Israel launched a major attack on targets across Iran on Saturday.
U.S. President Donald Trump urged Iranians to take cover during the strikes, but then: “When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take.” It was an extraordinary appeal that suggested the allies could be seeking to end of the country’s theocracy after decades of tensions.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu echoed that sweeping goal. “Our joint operation will create the conditions for the brave Iranian people to take their fate into their own hands,” Netanyahu said.
In a video posted on social media, Trump claimed Iran has continued to develop its nuclear program and plans to develop missiles to reach the U.S.
The first strikes of the attack appeared to target the compound home to Iran’s 86-year-old Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in downtown Tehran. It wasn’t immediately clear if he was there at the time. Smoke could be seen rising from the Iranian capital.
The attack quickly expanded beyond Iran. Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard said it responded by launching a “first wave” of drones and missiles targeting Israel, where a nationwide warning was issued as the military said it bring down Iranian fire.
The rationale that Iran was continuing to develop its nuclear program (months after the Malignant Fascist claimed it was "completely and totally obliterated" by US strikes in June 2025) was quickly undercut by the moron himself in one of his manic social media posts at 4:35 this morning:
The source for his latest rationale for attacking Iran?
... JusttheNews.com, which the Media Bias/Fact Check website rated as having a far-right bias and low credibility because it traffics in conspiracy theories, propaganda and failed fact checks.
The MF's desperation and brain rot that's been increasingly evident has now meshed his favorite election conspiracy theory into a justification for going to war.
The pressure to release the millions of pages of Epstein-Trump files being covered up by the Malignant Fascist's complicit "Justice" Department must have reached the point where it became necessary to put American lives in danger, risk a major war in the volatile Middle East, and end up in another blood-soaked quagmire whose consequences could be far-reaching and damaging to US national security. This from the one who ran on ending "endless wars." Another MF flim-flam with somewhat more importance that Trump University.
Here's a map, via AP of where the US/Israeli strikes have taken place so far:
It should go without saying that Iran's regime is one of the worst, most despicable in the world. But regime change through the Malignant Fascist's (and Netanyahu's) preferred method can only lead to more death and instability in the region and the world (see: Bush, George "Dumbya", Iraq War).
BONUS: Also being undercut? Support from "America First" MAGAts.

Several union leaders have reached out to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to urge him to withdraw his support for Maine Gov. Janet Mills' run for the Maine Senate seat against meek Trump supporter Sen. Susan Collins. The unions -- including the United Auto Workers, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and the Machinist Union -- say that Graham Platner, who's ahead of Mills in the polls, is more pro-union than Mills, and more electable. From NBC News:
"Union leaders in recent days have urged Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to end their support for Gov. Janet Mills in Maine’s Senate primary, pointing to what they see as her weaker record with labor.
United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain had a conversation with Schumer this month to discuss the race, among other topics, two people familiar with the call told NBC News. The UAW is supporting Mills’ opponent, Democrat Graham Platner, while Schumer and the DSCC are supporting Mills. [snip]
The Maine race is perhaps Democrats’ best opportunity to flip a Republican-held Senate seat this fall, and it’s a must-win for them to have any chance of taking over the chamber. While the national Democratic establishment has thrown its support behind Mills, labor’s push highlights some of the base’s discontent with that decision — and the resiliency of Platner, who has weathered controversies.
Platner announced his candidacy in August, and Mills jumped in two months later, sparking a primary that embodies Democrats’ generational and ideological divides." [snip]
A University of New Hampshire poll conducted in mid-February found Platner with a 38-point lead over Mills among likely Democratic primary voters, well beyond the survey’s margin of error. The Mills campaign disputed the survey in a memo, pointing to other recent misses the survey had in Maine and arguing that the sample, which skewed much younger than past Maine electorates, did not accurately reflect the state." (our emphasis)
Platner also has the endorsements of progressive stalwarts Sens. Bernie Sanders, Chris Murphy, and Sheldon Whitehouse. Platner has weathered a controversy over a tattoo that he had removed that contained a symbol associated with Nazis, which he's said he had no idea about. Interestingly much of his extended family is Jewish. Platner, 41, is a veteran of the Marine Corps and is an oysterman and harbor master by profession. He would seem to be the ideal Dem candidate: Iraq war veteran, union-backed progressive, small business owner, and a generational symbol contrasting with the plodding, ossified Dem leadership exemplified by Chuck Schumer et al. It's no surprise that fumbling Schumer's support for Mills runs counter to that, and to the polls.

American musical icon Johnny Cash was born on February 26 in 1932. "The Man in Black," as he was known, wrote and performed music spanning rockabilly, country, gospel, blues, and folk genres (he's in the Rock and Roll, Country, and Gospel halls of fame). We're featuring two belated birthday songs from his early days recording at Sun Records: 1956's "I Walk The Line" (his first #1 hit and signature song) and 1958's "Guess Things Happen That Way." Hope you enjoy.
As tensions increase following the end of negotiations between Iran and inept, craven U.S. negotiators Steve "Witless" Witkoff and the Malignant Fascist's corrupt son-in-law Jared Kushner, the U.S. embassy in Israel has urged its staff to consider leaving as an attack on Iran appears likely. From NBC News:
"The United States on Friday told some embassy staff that they could leave Israel — and that those who want to must do so quickly — as fears of an American attack on Iran fueled alarm throughout the region.
The message, conveyed in an email from Ambassador Mike Huckabee that was sent to the U.S. mission, instructed those wishing to leave to 'do so TODAY.' NBC News has seen the email, which was first reported by The New York Times.
The guidance was issued out of 'an abundance of caution' after meetings and calls through the night, including conversations with the State Department, Huckabee said in the email.
'There is no need to panic,' the email read. 'For those desiring to leave, it’s important to make plans to depart sooner rather than later.'
He also urged anyone intending to leave to go ahead and book flights, citing the likely surge in demand out of Israel after the embassy's move." (our emphasis)
If war with Iran were to break out, Israel would be immediate targets of Iran's weapons and its surrogate forces in the region. The MF's threats against Iran, backed up by a massive shift of arms and personnel to the region, come as he has yet to explain the goal for a war, particularly after he bragged about having totally destroyed their nuclear facilities last year. The MF's regime likely sees the widespread unrest in Iran in the past months as a sign that regime change might be possible. One can't discount the fact that the chaotic bluster from the MF would to be a distraction from his problems at home: growing interest in the Epstein - Trump files and his 38,000+ mentions, his failed tariffs, his dropping poll numbers, etc. We'll see whether Huckabee's "no need to panic" is based in reality or not.
Get ready for the CBS/Fox-ification of CNN:
Netflix is declining to raise its offer to buy Warner Bros. Discovery’s studio and streaming business, in a stunning move that effectively puts Paramount in a position to take over the fellow storied Hollywood giant.
On Thursday, after Warner’s board announced that Skydance-owned Paramount’s offer was superior to the agreement it had previously struck with Netflix, the streaming giant said the new price that would be required to buy Warner would make it a deal that is “no longer financially attractive.”
Unlike Netflix’s bid, Paramount wants all of Warner’s operations, including networks like CNN and Discovery. That would put CNN under the same roof as Paramount’s CBS and combine two of Hollywood’s last five remaining studios.
The owner of HBO Max, DC Studios and popular titles like “Harry Potter” had backed Netflix’s proposal for months. But after Skydance-owned Paramount upped its rival bid for the entire company to $31 per share, in addition to other revisions, Warner’s board on Thursday said that the offer “constitutes a ‘company superior proposal.’”
A Paramount buyout Warner’s business would vastly reshape Hollywood and the wider media landscape. Paramount’s CBS has seen significant editorial shifts, notably with the installation of Free Press founder Bari Weiss at CBS News, under new Skydance ownership. And if Paramount’s acquisition of Warner is successful, many expect the reach of those changes to only grow. [snip]
... Paramount is taking on billions of dollars in debt to finance its offer. And David Ellison’s father, Oracle founder Larry Ellison, is heavily backing the bid for his son’s company. Foreign sovereign wealth funds have also provided equity for the offer, drawing scrutiny.
The Ellisons also have a close relationship with President Donald Trump — bringing more politics into question. Trump previously made unprecedented suggestions about his involvement in seeing a deal through, before walking back those statements and maintaining that regulatory approval will be up to the Justice Department... (our emphasis)
The Malignant Fascist's DOJ will provide approval faster than you can say "corrupt." The involvement of "foreign sovereign wealth funds" -- Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar -- will also ensure that no media (news, movies, etc.) will be produced or aired that's critical of the Malignant Fascist's corrupt authoritarian Middle Eastern pals in the future.
Our democracy is hanging by a thread. The ongoing media mega-consolidations around right-wing oligarchs absolutely needs to be challenged now, but if that's unsuccessful, rolled back if and when Democrats regain power in this country.

"... On Tuesday, Trump gave his State of the Union address. 'What a
difference a president makes,' he said. Trump believes he is popular,
strong and successful. The truth says otherwise. Trump is as unpopular
as he’s ever been. His approval in high-quality surveys from CNN, the
American Research Group and Reuters hovers between 36 percent and 40
percent. His disapproval rating reaches as high as 60 percent. Even the
most skilled presidents would struggle to recover from this kind of
collapse. We can safely assume that, for Trump, things will only get
worse. [snip]
"What Trump has, a little more than one year into his second term, is a failed presidency: one that has crashed on the rocks of his ambition to supplant constitutional government with that of his own will. Yes, Trump has done a tremendous amount of damage. And yes, he has degraded American democracy to the point where it is on life support. But he’s failed to make himself a dictator, and the public is poised to punish his party for his transgressions.
"Unfortunately, that will be the easy part. It’s what comes after that that will test our ability to make the union whole again." -- Jamelle Bouie, NYT, on "What Hath Trump Wrought." This excerpt is the conclusion of his op/ed, which deserves a full reading (free link). Bouie covers the assault on the rights and liberties undertaken by the Malignant Fascist and his toadies -- with help from a spineless MAGAt Republican party/ cult and a corrupt Republican Supreme Court -- that Americans are well on the way to deciding wasn't what they wanted or expected, and are voting accordingly.
The Associated Press is reporting that the FBI has fired additional agents who worked on the stolen classified documents case against the corrupt and lawless Malignant Fascist. The retribution carried out is just the latest attempt to purge the FBI and Justice Department of anyone connected with the classified documents case or the January 6 insurrection cases against hundreds of rabid and violent supporters of the MF. From the AP's report:
"The FBI has fired additional agents who worked on an investigation into President Donald Trump, this time terminating employees who participated in the probe into the Republican’s hoarding of classified documents, people familiar with the matter said Wednesday.
The firings are part of a broader personnel purge under the leadership of Director Kash Patel, a Trump appointee who, over the last year, has pushed out dozens of employees who either contributed to investigations of the president or who were perceived as not in alignment with the administration’s agenda. The Justice Department has engaged in similarly sweeping firings of prosecutors since Trump took office last year. [snip]
The latest round of terminations included employees who helped investigate Trump’s retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort, a case that involved a high-profile FBI search of the Florida property and resulted in a federal prosecution charging the now-president with holding onto top-secret records from his first term in office and obstructing government efforts to get them back.
The firings were confirmed to The Associated Press by multiple people familiar with the matter who spoke on anonymity because they could not publicly discuss the personnel moves. Several of the people said a total of 10 employees were fired, and one said at least 10 were fired." (our emphasis)
The report comes days after Trump cultist FBI Director and bug eyed jack hole Kashyap "Kash" Patel returned from the Winter Olympics after politicizing the U.S. Men's Hockey Team by selfishly crashing their victory celebration, chugging beer, and phoning the MF to get his misogynist two cents on the women's hockey team.
In addition, reports of missing FBI files that discuss accusations against the MF in the Epstein - Trump files were made as he partied, and he has yet to justify his private use of the FBI's Gulfstream jet to go to the Games or elsewhere, after hypocritically slamming former FBI Director Christopher Wray for using the jet for his personal business. He needs to be near the top of the list of the MF's lackeys that should be impeached.
