Once again, the war in Iran dominates the news, and yet we know so little about it. Why did we attack? What are our goals? How will the tactics we are using achieve those goals? There’s not enough there for a featured post, but it seems silly to focus on something else.
So instead of being news-focused, the featured post will cover some general sociological and psychological analyses of the administration that have come out recently. Why are they the way they are? I’ll try to get that out between 10 and 11 EDT.
So the actual news will all be in the weekly summary: the war, the ongoing persecution of trans people, the administration’s continuing legal problems, the WaPo’s sudden change into the voice of the billionaire agenda, and a few other things. Expect to see that around noon.

Trump eliminated nuke threat by Iran successfully now Iranian people can rise up and create democracy
Given this administrations well documented preference to lie, how do you know Irans nuke threat has been successfully eliminated? Who told you that? We’ve heard that before. Iranian people rising up and creating a democracy for themselves??..at best, naive wishful thinking, and at worst, profoundly unaware of the socio/political/religious dynamics within that country.
Iran has 60% Uranium, currently buried deep inside tunnels that are blocked. They need 90% to even remotely become a threat and that is a long way off. What they wanted was sufficient material to create power stations, not nukes.
We are where we are now because a working agreement between Iran and much of the West was torn up unilaterally by you-know-who and he owns this mess 100% as well as the metastases that will continue to plague the West for years to come.
Know who has 90% and has tested nukes? And is trying to build a working ICBM that can reach the US? North Korea. Why no urgent need for regime change there? It would be much, much easier, and popular with the starving oppressed people, who have close neighbors who would willingly help them out.
Focus more on Epstein and the rest of the unreleased damning information.
