Nova snimka do koje je došao CNN jasno pokazuje da je požar bio ozbiljniji i razorniji nego što je mornarica prvotno sugerirala.
Snimka pokazuje da su ležajevi u kojima su mornari spavali potpuno uništeni. Ono što je ostalo od kreveta pretvorilo se u pougljenjeni, iskrivljeni metal ispod stropa koji je također očito teško oštećen vatrom.

And Donnie is very crabby about the Republicans who dared tell him this. If only we could have more of them act like this. Is that too much to hope for? Probably. We can still hope. Trump needed an excuse to get out of this war. They (and Democrats, of course) just gave him one. […]

Trump is blustering about how ‘Iran can never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon’ like he’s the first person to say it. Everyone outside Iran including a couple of not so awesome regimes like Russia and China has been saying that very thing for well over four decades! Unless a boatload of nukes make […]

Unfortunately, yes, seriously. Send your thank-you cards to Trump. He gives us such interesting things, doesn’t he? Too bad for us if we don’t want them. Tariffs and a war come to mind. A war that is dragging us down a road to a place we don’t want to be. It’s all for Trump’s vanity. […]

This should make us uneasy. Even if we’re in a ceasefire, getting these people together before Trump goes to China (once again, playing “go fish” with a country that has a royal flush) should at least make us uncomfortable. What the heck are they up to? What are the possibilities? With gratitude to Raw Story: […]

When it comes to Iran’s ability to develop a nuclear bomb the timeline of ‘a year’ we’d been given turns out not to have changed. Oh, we’ve gotten day after day of the same kind of ‘happy talk’ b.s. we got after that huge strike last year. For this actual war the administration is spinning […]

He’ll never actually admit it to us. But he did something very telling, which was covered recently. It’s not going to work, of course, but supposedly he’s giving it a try. The problem is the difference between what he says, and what Iran says, and never the twain shall meet. But that wasn’t possible from […]

Well, then, this is a completely different perspective on that whole thing. He may not have done this rampant stupidity completely on his own. It’s hard to imagine with the way he is now (and then), which seems to be that he’s all about himself and all about making his own decisions. His cabinet doesn’t […]

SecDef Pete Hegseth testified to the House Armed Service Committee today. Some in the GOP predictably used their time to polish Petey Boy’s (and Trump’s) lying butt but he did face some scrutiny. And Democrats let him have it but good. None more so than West Point Graduate and combat veteran Pat Ryan who honed […]

Took them long enough. Our people have been pushing to throttle Trump down. The GOP was seemingly giving Trump the benefit of the doubt. It appears, just appears, mind you, that some of them might finally be stepping up and saying this is enough. How many people saw this war as a disaster on Day […]

It’s common knowledge that the now much talked about Strait of Hormuz is only 21 miles wide at it’s narrowest point. I learned this fact in grade school in the 1960s in geography lessons. Even MAGAs know it. It’s been a ‘choke point’ for shipping/trade since long before any of us were born. However there’s […]

No, I’m not crazy for talking about Trump working an angle by increasing Iran’s power over the world’s oil supply. In fact, it was someone much smarter than me with real, serious credentials that suggested why Trump might want Iran to be able to choke off other countries oil whenever it wants. When you factor […]

Your evening host is making a guest appearance this afternoon because dadgum! Good grief! He’s ranting again about something he ought not be talking about. This is ridiculous.

Heh, here’s another bit of nonsense coming out of Trump’s mouth. He seems to think we are in charge of the Iran-US negotiations, that we have everything and they have nothing. Well, we don’t. It’s that straightforward. He never gives up blustering and bragging in a vain attempt to make himself look self-righteous and as […]

I’ll make this short. Like you I’m breathing a sigh of relief, albeit a shallow one right now. Trump has announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran. It’s still murky on whether Iran will announce they too will stand down for two weeks. If we get through the night without them launching any attacks I’ll hold […]

I wanted to use a slightly different title, as in ‘something big’s going down’ but that seemed over the top. Still, there have long been quirky indicators of what’s going on in DC and the country.

It gets curiouser and curiouser in Trump world today. Pam Bondi went the way of all flesh, then Pete Hegseth decided to fire Army Chief Of Staff General Randy George before the end of his term. General George was slated to serve until 2027, but no more. Then, while the ink was barely dry on […]

For much of the past week I’ve read and heard lots of discussion from pundits about the possibility, even likelihood of Trump ordering Marine (and Navy) units to blockade and even send in forces to take control of Kharg Island.

Once upon a time in what seems like another life I was a Marine Infantryman. So news the 31st MEU (Marine Expeditionary Unit) has been deployed to the Persian Gulf got my attention.

The U.S. Navy’s attack on an Iranian frigate, the IRIS _Dena_ _,_ on Wednesday was the first time an American submarine has sunk an enemy ship since World War II. But the _Dena_ may not have been armed because it was returning from an international exercise in the Indian Ocean, and the U.S. Navy likely knew it because it was taking part in the same exercise.
Both the United States and Iran were…
Trump’s war of choice against Iran has already cost American blood and lives. So far at least six troops are dead and while no number of wounded has been released it’s reportedly in the dozens. Republicans, some of them have been openly critical of Trump but when push came to shove in the Senate today […]
