Correct.
If you're not happy about the US military being turned into murderous pirates like I'm not, start calling your representatives and senators every day. Engage the process, folks, before we start investing blood & treasure over this generation's "yellow cake."

MYTH: Venezuela stole U.S. oil and land.
FACT: The U.S. never owned Venezuelan oil or territory.
FACT: Energy “rights” were private contracts, not national property.
FACT: No court or treaty supports Trump’s claim.

Great news! Hoping this momentum carries us thru the midterms! 👏🏽
💥💥BOOM!! Democrat Gary Clemons won an overwhelming victory in today’s special election for Kentucky State Senate District 37, taking nearly 74% of the vote. It’s worth noting that Kamala Harris carried this district by just 6 points in 2024.

You don’t give a “shockingly candid” interview ripping your own administration and then act surprised when people quote you. That’s not a media problem. That’s a foresight problem.

Some of the most useful insights into what’s happening to America are coming from political analysts outside the United States. Here’s a particularly lucid essay that I think you should read.

We keep having the same discussion every 20 years.
Someone overpromises what can be done to stop nuclear weapons from destroying homeland.
Experts warn that it will cause a double arms race: on offensive and defensive weapons while threatening the stability of deterrence.
Much money is wasted.

Golden Dome promises a new missile shield, but it could spark a dangerous race to build weapons meant to beat it.
We Might Regret Golden Dome's Greatest Ambition

The author focuses on QAnon, but the message is applicable to any conspiracy-prone thinking.
She writes, "The lonely found belonging, the aimless found direction, and the hurt & the angry found validation. The truth is that the truth is almost beside the point." Well worth the read.
