Trump Is All About Show Business Tactics. Tacky Tactics.
President Donald Trump’s White House used its official channel to post a bonkers war hype video mixing a dubious collection of Hollywood clips with actual war footage... On Thursday night, the White House posted a message to X that read “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸🔥,” and included a video that smash-cut between over a dozen film and television clips, along with a jacked-up electronic track and some real bombing footage.

Drip, Drip, Drip
The Justice Department has released more documents from the Jeffrey Epstein files related to allegations against President Trump, a move that came after the department was pressured to review its disclosures following reports that some files were missing.

Misogyny is not limited to Iran. The only person in prison from the Epstein files is a woman. - Brad

Trump Probably Wants To Open A Trump Resort There...

President Trump claimed Friday that the Communist dictatorship on the island of Cuba is on its last legs.

“Cuba is gonna fall pretty soon, by the way, unrelated, but Cuba is gonna fall too,” the president told CNN host Dana Bash in a phone interview.

“They want to make a deal so badly. They want to make a deal, and so I’m going to put [Secretary of State] Marco [Rubio] over there and we’ll see how that works out. We’re really focused on this one [Iran] right now. We’ve got plenty of time, but Cuba’s ready — after 50 years.

Putin.

The US-Israeli war on Iran entered a sixth day with little sign of easing, as the Islamic Republic vowed to intensify its retaliation and oil extended gains.

Arab states across the Middle East — as well as Israel — reported interceptions of Iranian missiles and drones into Thursday, with Qatar telling residents to remain indoors due to the high level of threat. Tehran said it struck an oil tanker in the Persian Gulf, underlining the risk to shipping in the energy-rich region.

“The president has made clear that he believes America’s awesome military might should be used to protect and defend America’s interests,” he told Fox News’s Sean Hannity in an interview, after the host said people did not “think that people understand the Trump doctrine is not isolationism.”

Hegseth Said This Is Not A Regime Change War. He May Be Right.
The son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has emerged as the leading contender to take over as his successor.

Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of the former Supreme Leader, who was killed in an air strike on Saturday, is being considered by the regime’s senior clerics to be the next supreme leader, according to The New York Times.

“You pray for the hungry. Then you feed them. This is how prayer works.”

The Adventures of Taco the Chihuahua 🐕

This morning Taco gave me that bark...LET ME OUT! THERE'S A DOG! NOW!!!

He was rabid. So I opened the door and he raced out to my fenced porch, furiously looking for the dog. Suddenly the dog appears, totally ignores Taco. The dog was Rio, my neighbor's dog, who rarely visits. Nice dog. Taco starts screaming as though he was being murdered. Screaming. SCREAMING MORE! It scared everyone. Neighbors came out to see what the commotion was. Even the other dogs, Loki and Sacha, galloped over to see what happened.  ¿qué pasó?

Never underestimate the power of a chihuahua.
