I am having difficulty providing milk for my twin children, as they need one can per day at a cost of $75 per can. I kindly ask for any help you can offer, whether by providing milk or financial support. Any assistance would make a great difference for us. Thank you.

The Pentagon is now using a new accounting method to report service member injuries & deaths in Trump's #IranWar —
Casualties are "now not listed on a Pentagon website w/ others since the war began, but rather on a new webpage labeled generically as 'overseas operations casualties'... (so) a full accounting of the overall casualties requires adding numbers from separate web pages."
The Pentagon denies any effort to conceal casualty numbers.

Shadow Treasurer #TimWilson has indicated the #COALition would support construction of a new #OilRefinery in #WesternAustralia.
Where would the oil to be refined come from Tim?
I need your support today more than ever. I haven't received any donations for some time, and my children need food, milk, and diapers. I'm grateful to everyone who can help or share this post. 🙏

OK, for those not following along at home (and seriously, don't) #Trump is now reversing course by 180 degrees and claiming that it was he (Trump) who --> tricked <-- #Netanyahu into attacking #Iran first
These people are insane

Trump throws Rubio under the bus, gives a clearly bogus new rationale for attack on Iran, saying it was his opinion because of the negotiations last week in Geneva, that Iran was going to strike first, so “if anything” he forced Israel’s hand.
Let's run that by again:
"so “if anything” he (Trump) forced Israel’s hand"
Good Lord...

I don't think the UK media have made nearly enough noise about the US Navy sinking an *unarmed* Iranian warship and then, in clear violation of the Geneva Conventions, leaving them to drown.
This is a heinous war crime which the media would be rightly up in arms about if any country that wasn't nominally an "ally" had done it.

Markets🚨are finally waking up to the gravity that the conflict poses to global #oil costs.
ClearVw expects:🚨global supply deficit of 3M/bbl/day in Mar, & ~7M bbl/day in Apr. Just confronting that shortfall would drain 300M bbls from global crude inventories.
Tankers🚨can’t transit the Strait for fear of atks,⬆️insur costs... #Iran can continue to disrupt shipping at low cost to itself. How soon will the Strait open? Nobody in the Trump admin has a good A.

The U.S. Built a Blueprint to Avoid Civilian War Casualties. Trump Officials Scrapped It.
--
A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations. But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority.

#Trump: "Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer 'need,' or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID!
Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea.
In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
President DONALD J. TRUMP"
Check back in an hour or two to see how our President is doing then...

U.S. Central Command is asking the Pentagon to send more military intelligence officers to its headquarters in Tampa, Florida, to support operations against Iran for at least 100 days.

The ironic activist. Cost is the greatest economic incentive.
Just in a few hours ago, Israel’s main refinery site has been bombed by Iran and this location also seems to be a center for their naval power.
I have to hand it to these guys. They are literally just stopping oil in its tracks.

Absolutely cannot believe the number of people going ape-shit-bananas on Teh Tweeters right now over a #WSJ post that:
"#Trump has reportedly begun telling aides that he is willing to end the war with Iran without forcing open the #StraitofHormuz and will encourage the #GulfArabStates and #Europe to launch an operation on their own later to do so.
Ultimate rug pull if true..."
Markets are closed; wait for Trump's follow-up shortly after markets open tomorrow
Have these morons learned nothing?
UPDATE: Mini Dow futures up sharply; Brent Crude Oil futures down sharply
Good God, people, think...

Report: Trump admits that the US armed Iranian protesters to overthrow their government.
1000s of Iranians were killed during the mass anti-government demonstrations Dec- Jan, weeks before US-Israel launched the war & while American negotiators were engaging with senior Iranian officials.
And just like that, not even :30 minutes old, and it was all just more Trump Derangement Syndrome(tm) by the Radical Far Left Extremists(tm)
Of course...
Color me surprised...

The decades-old petrodollar cycle, where Gulf states priced oil in dollars and reinvested revenues into US Treasuries in exchange for American security, is now broken. Oil-importing nations are selling Treasuries to defend their currencies, while Gulf exporters, facing lower revenues are reassessing US investments. This accelerates a structural shift away from dollar assets, challenging the Treasury's status as an unquestioned safe haven.
The Counterterrorism Czar Without a Counterterrorism Plan

Amid Trump’s war in Iran and an exodus of intelligence staffers, Sebastian Gorka has asserted that a blueprint for fighting terror threats is “imminent” — but has not released it. Iranian threats have refocused attention on the lack of a doctrine.
