Democratic Senator Mark Kelly : “The math on this doesn’t work.” Never that the deaths and murders and illegal war and the civilian terror and millions displaced “just doesn’t work.”

The “Switchers” Are Switching Back

Our most dramatic finding concerns voters who moved from Joe Biden in 2020 to Trump in 2024. These were the crown jewels of the Republican election night story, supposed final proof that Republicans had achieved their decade-long dream of a multiracial working-class realignment. But 57 percent of these Biden-to-Trump switchers say they do not plan to vote for the Republican presidential nominee in 2028.

Many Biden-to-Trump switchers were never MAGA converts. They were cross-pressured moderates and independents who gave Trump a shot out of frustration with the Democrats. Seventy percent do not identify as Republican (compared to just 16 percent of respondents who remain loyal to Trump), and 44 percent call themselves moderate (compared to just 15 percent of Trump loyalists). These voters were not signing up for MAGA, they were registering their frustration with Biden and the Democrats.

The class dynamics of wavering Trump voters are particularly telling. Trump’s support has eroded most sharply at the bottom of the income ladder: 31.3 percent of Trump voters earning less than $15,000 a year are wavering, compared to just 12.7 percent of those earning over $200,000. The same pattern holds for education: Trump voters without a high school diploma waver at 31.8 percent, while just 17.6 percent of those with a four-year college degree reported that they don’t plan to vote Republican in 2028.

In other words, Trump’s wealthiest and most educated supporters are his most reliable. His poorest supporters are the most likely to leave. The “working-class realignment” starts to look less like a durable shift and more like a fleeting transaction — one that delivered little in return.

Both ways, under the bus: Zohran Mamdani Throws Wife, Palestinian Author and Gaza Genocide Survivor Under the Bus

WATCH:

Mayor Mamdani used the Palestinian cause to get elected and repeatedly gives them a middle finger since

Kill them All — Jews to Palestinians! Kill them ALL.

Muslims, Democrats and social media users expressed their displeasure on Wednesday with remarks made by Republican Representative Andy Ogles of Tennessee, who responded to an activist’s question about the deaths of Palestinian children in Gaza by asserting that “we should kill ‘em all”.

“I’ve seen the footage of shredded children’s bodies,” the activist told Ogles. “That’s my taxpayer dollars that are going to bomb those kids.”

Ogles responded bluntly:

“You know what? So, I think we should kill ’em all if that makes you feel better. Hamas and the Palestinians have been attacking Israel for 20 years. It’s time to pay the piper.”

Fucking all about MONEY:

The big drain on military resources has begun. A war apparently already won (and not), against an adversary supposedly without means to fight back, its air force and navy destroyed, its missile capabilities blunted, is now drawing the clumsy colossus of American power into the Middle East with embarrassing effect. The Middle East, where US President Donald Trump promised the “forever wars” would end, promises an end to his beginning.

The ledger of losses keeps rising with giddying pace. The US casualty list, for now, remains manageably low, but the military purse is being raided with manic relish. Operation Epic Fury cost US taxpayers $11.3 billion in munitions over the first six days, an estimate that excludes operating and maintenance costs of the engaged military force or the damage inflicted by Iran. The Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) claims that the first 100 hours of the war cost $3.7 billion, approximating to $891.4 million each day.

Strain is also being placed on inventories. The US prides itself on deluxe, high brand killing and extermination of targets, using chic weaponry and dull doctrine. Expensive homicidal measures do have to be eventually accounted for. According to reporting from Bloomberg, “as the conflict extends toward a third week, the US war effort is showing unexpected signs of strain against an adversary whose military budget is smaller than the GDP of Vermont—but which has an arsenal of missiles and drones unlike anything the US has ever faced.”

Critical munitions are being depleted. With the campaign barely 100 hours old, 168 Tomahawk cruise missiles had been fired. (Each unit costs a mighty $3.6 million.) This is a staggering figure when compared to the rate of procurement: the previous five years had seen the production of 322 Tomahawks. According to a source quoted in the Financial Times, “The navy will be feeling this expenditure for several years.”

While the Pentagon gloats at reducing Iranian strikes by 80% or more, Tehran has gotten more economical with its targeting, successfully striking military and energy infrastructure across the Middle East with telling effect. Ballistic missiles have hit the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, destroying two AN/GSC-52B SATCOM terminals. A costly AN/FPS-132 early warning radar in Qatar—a facility estimated to cost some $1.1 billion—was successfully struck by a ballistic missile.

The AN/TPY-2 radar facilities used by the lauded yet hideously expensive Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system have also been struck in Saudi Arabia’s Prince Sultan Air Base, Al Ruwais in the UAE, Al Dhafra Air Base in proximity to Abu Dhabi and Jordan’s Muwaffaq Salti Air Base. A sense of how important that facility is to the operation of the battery is provided by N.R. Jenzen, a munitions specialist of Armament Research: “The AN/TPY-2 radar is essentially the heart of the THAAD battery, enabling the launch of interceptor missiles and contributing to a networked air defence picture.” Knocking out the radar blinds the system.

The outstanding feature of many of the strikes is their relative cheapness to the interceptor missiles used to destroy them.

“The round’s we’re firing—Patriot rounds, THAAD rounds … these weapon systems, each around is millions of dollars,” laments Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly.

“The math on this doesn’t work.”

Shahed-136 one-way drones, each one costing $35,000, have played a starring role in upsetting “the math”. CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper has also noted that the majority of wounded US personnel—some 140 troops—have been injured in “one-way strikes.”

“‘You are all worse than each other’: anti-regime Iranians turn on Trump”–a Guardian headline

The anti-working-class character of the U.S./Israel war on Iran has now turned even Iranian foes of the Iranian regime against the U.S./Israel war on Iran

Economic hardship has already taken a toll on health and education. The Health Ministry estimates poor nutrition contributes to about 35% of annual deaths in Iran, with tens of thousands dying each year from dietary deficiencies, including lack of fruits, grains, and essential fatty acids.

The Iranians fighting to improve the living standard of ordinary Iranians, by uniting workers in struggles to get wages they are owed or to get better wages, are being arrested, not supported, by the Islamic Republic of Iran, as reported on here and here.

Clearly a society in which architects build luxury mansions for a few rich families while very many families are living in poverty, and in which workers fighting against employers for just improvements in their lives get arrested by the government, is not an egalitarian society, and there is no evidence that the Islamic Republic of Iran is aiming to remove from power the class of Iranians who can afford to purchase luxury mansions.

Regarding the individuals who constitute the leadership class of the Islamic Republic of Iran, it seems to be the case that while some of them live modestly, they derive much power from their control of enormous capitalist wealth (much as the Catholic Pope, no matter how frugally he may live, does the same).

What’s the difference between:

  • Make America Great Again
  • Two weeks to flatten the curve
  • Trust the science
  • Trust the plan
  • Yes we can
  • Hope for change

There is no difference. They all mean nothing, have no definitional stability or source, do not relate to reality and are deliberately reliant on the individual to project personalized meaning into the statements to give them meaning at the individual level, which may be entirely at odds with any other individual’s projected meaning.

Therefore, repetition of “MAGA” is simply an admission of brainwashing and failure to critically identify and then assess the use of a meaningless slogan to induce conformance to wider behavioural propaganda and programming via a hollow slogan.

Trump avoided the military draft for the first four times in order to complete his college education.

Then, when he graduated in 1968, when the Vietnam War was still ongoing, he avoided the draft after receiving a diagnosis of bone spurs.

In 2016, Trump told The New York Times that the spurs were “not a big problem, but it was enough of a problem,” and that it was “difficult from the long-term walking standpoint.”

Former President Joe Biden also received multiple draft deferments, first for his college education and then for an asthma condition, as did former Vice President Dick Cheney. Cheney received five draft deferments: four for college and one for being a father.

Sunday Morning Futures, host Maria Bartiromo asked about the possibility of both ground troops and a draft.

“Mothers are worried that we’re going to have a draft, that they’re going to see their sons and daughters get involved in this,” Bartiromo said. “What do you want to say about the president’s plans for troops on the ground? As we know, it’s largely been an air campaign up until now.”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the administration is continuing to assess the situation. “I know a lot of politicians like to do that quickly, but the president, as commander in chief, wants to continue to assess the success of this military operation,” she said. “It’s not part of the current plan right now, but again, the president wisely keeps his options on the table.”

Commentators have speculated that the massive costs Iran is extracting from the aggressors by bombing American bases in the Persian Gulf and by choking the Strait of Hormuz, thereby sending oil prices soaring, will eventually lead to global diplomatic and domestic consumer pressure on the United States to halt its illegal war.

That is a fair interpretation of the issue at hand if one looks at the matter purely through the lens of economics and international relations. However, it does not tell the full story. Israel, which has always claimed its legitimacy on the basis of religion and religious texts, does not view the matter through the same lens. The Israeli leadership does not even attempt to hide it. Not only the supposed lunatics of the Israeli right wing, such as Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, but even the supposed leftists in Israeli politics have openly declared their fealty to the Biblical legitimacy for the theft of Arab lands to establish Greater Israel.

An seated older man smiles as he speaks into a microphone with a fleur-de-lis on a wall behind him.

The retired US army general who once led Nato forces in Afghanistan says the bellicose foreign policy Donald Trump has pursued during his second presidency can be summed up as “we should do because we can” – invoking the lyrics of the Dolly Parton classic Jolene to emphasize the point.

Stanley McChrystal delivered those remarks on Friday at Tulane University’s New Orleans book festival during a fireside chat hosted by the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, who asked in part about US military strikes Trump has ordered in Nigeria, Venezuela and Iran since Christmas.

“I’m a big fan of Dolly Parton – do you remember her song Jolene?” McChrystal replied, referring to the country star’s Grammy-nominated 1973 hit. “This poor wife says, ‘Jolene, please don’t take my man; don’t take him just because you can.

The national debt isn’t $39 trillion. One economist says it’s actually $100 trillion

Several Republican lawmakers are ramping up anti-Muslim comments and facing little to no response from their leadership.

“Muslims don’t belong in American society,” Rep. Andy Ogles posted on Monday. “Pluralism is a lie.”

The Tennessee Republican, whose seat is in a safe red district, has previously expressed support for banning immigration from Muslim-majority countries and said in a speech last year that “America is and must always be a Christian nation.”

The United States was not established as a Christian nation.

“He didn’t start this this week,” said Sabina Mohyuddin, executive director of the American Muslim Advisory Council in Tennessee. “This has been building up.”

The 710-foot-high Glen Canyon Dam that impounds the Colorado River is an important source of hydroelectric power in the area, generating 1,320 megawatts of power to serve upward of 1 million homes in the Southwest, although the amount of power the dam generates has been dropping along with the water levels in Lake Powell. The white “bathtub ring” shows the highest level the lake ever reached.

U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, wearing a coat, speaks into a microphone.

More of the fucking WrestleMania AmeriKKKa:

The Education Department is giving San José State University 10 days to resolve an ongoing Title IX investigation or else it will seek to cut off the university’s federal funding, according to a social media post from Education Secretary Linda McMahon.

The latest threat comes after the university asked the Education Department and a federal judge to rescind the finding that SJSU violated Title IX when it allowed a trans woman to compete on the women’s volleyball team from 2022 to 2024.

One of the DOGE staffers leading Elon Musk’s DEI purge of US government departments says he believes it was appropriate for inexperienced twenty-somethings to be cancelling millions in government grants.

Nathan Cavanaugh was part of a young team brought in to examine the National Endowment for the Humanities for requests which contravened Donald Trump’s 2025 executive order banning anything considered to promote diversity, equity or inclusion.

Cavanaugh, in a deposition filmed as part of a lawsuit brought by the American Council of Learned Societies and others, said he did not think it was inappropriate that people with no experience in peer review or government work were making decisions which end with 97% of grants being cancelled.

Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic since 2016, is a former member of the Israeli Occupation Forces (IDF).

Key details regarding his background and role:

  • Military Service: After moving to Israel, Goldberg served as a prison guard in the IDF during the First Intifada. He later wrote about this experience in his 2006 book, Prisoners: A Muslim and a Jew Across the Middle East Divide.
  • Career: Before leading The Atlantic, he was a national security reporter and a columnist for The Jerusalem Post.
  • Leadership at The Atlantic: Under his leadership, The Atlantic has focused heavily on foreign affairs and national security, becoming a prominent voice in American media.
  • Recent Events: In March 2025, Goldberg made headlines after being mistakenly included in a Signal group chat where Trump administration officials were discussing military strikes in Yemen.

From the Jew-lantic:

The starter home isn’t what it used to be.

For the better part of the past century, most Americans became homeowners by purchasing a detached single-family house. But soaring prices are making that paragon of U.S. real estate less attainable, and many people have turned to condominiums as the only affordable option, particularly in expensive coastal cities. Now even that option has become endangered.

People often use condo as a synonym for apartment, but it refers to a particular arrangement: Residents own their unit and share possession of their building’s common areas and the surrounding property. Thanks to their efficient use of land, condos cost significantly less than single-family homes in nearly all major cities.

Scientists sound alarm over federal plan to dismantle vital weather and climate lab

Atmospheric and planetary scientists at Johns Hopkins warn that dismantling the nation’s premiere weather-forecasting resource, NCAR, would leave us more vulnerable to the effects of extreme weather events

Nearly 900 scientists and engineers work at NCAR’s main facility in Boulder, Colorado, but researchers and meteorologists from across the country use its tools and resources not just to advance science but also to inform airlines, farmers, maritime shippers, city planners, construction workers, local governments and communities, and emergency preparedness systems.

“Dismantling NCAR would essentially be taking a wrecking ball to America’s weather-monitoring and research infrastructure.” Scot Miller, Whiting School of Engineering
