More mercenaries on Podcasts: Retired U.S. Army Col. Douglas MacGregor said in an interview Thursday that it is evident that the Trump administration was caught flat-footed now that the war with Iran has lasted so long and is likely preparing for a major offensive with Israel that would compel the Iranians to surrender.
McGregor told Judge Andrew Napolitano’s Judging Freedom that it seems clear that President Donald Trump was not planning a month ago to send American ground troops into the country of 93 million. He said such a task would require a force between 2 and 3 million troops.
“I think what they’re trying to do, first and foremost, is launch a war-ending offensive,” he said.
He said the U.S. has been working to replenish missile capabilities in the Gulf region and once these weapons are in position, and once Washington feels it has the edge to carry out 72 to 92 hours of nonstop attacks, “then I think they will turn to the ground option, which for them is very limited add amount to some seizures of some islands.”
McGregor said the Iranians have shown the Americans that this is a whole new ball game when it comes to prosecuting wars, where large carrier groups and fighter jets are no longer as intimidating in an age of precision missiles and drones.
McGregor compared the likely new offensive to Trump’s last attempt at rolling the dice in hopes that the war ends in his favor.
Nepal Tano played a video of Trump at the White House this week, telling reporters that the war has essentially been one by the U.S. and that Iran’s navy and air force.
McGregor said Trump sounded like a Vietnam War-era politician, and the data that the president used is likely inaccurate and relatively meaningless given that Iran did not enter the war with a formidable navy or air force.
McGregor said the Trump administration is not interested in ending the war during negotiations with Iran. He said the goal in Washington is to destroy Iran.
“That has always really been the goal,” he said. “Whatever is left over, we plan to divide up, and the Israelis plan to control the oil and the gas and whatever else is there.”
William Astore: More on the Iran War And Joe Kent’s Resignation
by William Astore | Mar 25, 2026 | News | 1 Comment
Reprinted from Bracing Views with the author’s permission.
On March 19 I was on “Judging Freedom” to discuss the Iran War, America’s soaring national debt ($39 trillion and rising), the Pentagon’s call for another $200 billion to bankroll this disastrous war, Joe Kent’s recent resignation and what it means, and Tulsi Gabbard’s evasive and disappointing testimony before the Senate.
As I noted on Judge Napolitano’s podcast, the Pentagon has failed eight consecutive audits yet it never stops asking for more money. We would be fools to give it to them.
We also discussed the many costs of war and Iran’s capacity to influence how and at what level this war is being waged.
The quicker this unnecessary, illegal, unconstitutional, and dangerous war ends, the better for everyone.
There’s something in our national ethos that accepts war and violence, even celebrates and glories in it. Perhaps it’s because war’s costs are largely kept isolated from us; perhaps it’s incessant violence on TV, movies, video games, and the like; perhaps it’s an unthinking acceptance of “warrior ethos” talk; perhaps there are too many so-called christian nationalists who see war as some sort of holy struggle and the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy; perhaps there’s simply too much ignorance and not enough truth; perhaps there’s too much fear being stoked, especially Islamophobia. And perhaps there’s simply too much money, profit, and power in war, especially in the context of Ike’s military-industrial-congressional complex.
One thing is certain: as Ike said, as MLK said, a nation constantly at war experiences spiritual death, a crucifixion on a cross of iron.
Jesus fucking Christ, Atore is another retired Lt. Colonel, USAF. these fucking cunts who signed up and did their dirty deeds in the Uniformed Mercenary Disservices, now getting subscribers, hits, and endless talk show jerk off sessions:
TYT Exclusive: Joe Kent Breaks Down Why He Resigned Over the War in Iran
Joe Kent, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, said in an interview on The Young Turks that the U.S. war with Iran serves Israel’s strategic interests, not America’s, and that a pervasive Israeli influence network has distorted U.S. foreign policy. Kent, who resigned from the Trump administration over the conflict, told Cenk Uygur on “The Young Turks” that Israel’s goal of regime change in Iran diverges sharply from American objectives, leaving the U.S. without a clear exit strategy. He asserted that Israeli officials used direct access to policymakers and a coordinated media campaign to shift the administration’s red line from preventing a nuclear weapon to barring all uranium enrichment — a position he called a non-starter for Tehran.
Kent described what he called an Israeli “echo chamber” within the U.S. government, facilitated by decades of access, campaign contributions, and dual-citizen intermediaries. He said this network allowed Israeli officials to circumvent intelligence community assessments, including a consensus among 18 U.S. intelligence agencies that Iran was not actively developing a nuclear weapon. Kent also cited historical espionage cases — Jonathan Pollard and Robert Maxwell — to argue that Israel’s influence operations are both longstanding and underestimated, and he questioned why the FBI halted his efforts to investigate possible foreign ties to the July 2024 assassination attempt against President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The former intelligence official called for the U.S. to leverage its military and financial support to restrain Israel from further offensive operations and to pursue a diplomatic settlement that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and ease global energy prices. Kent, who lost his first wife in a 2017 suicide bombing in Syria and served 11 tours in special forces, said he resigned to speak publicly against a war he believes is being fought on behalf of another country’s interests. He urged voters to scrutinize candidates’ foreign policy stances and campaign funding from pro-Israel groups.
Our Blue Bonnet Texan, she gets tons of ex-Mercenaries on her show:
You know the U.S. and Israel are failing miserably in Iran, when the mainstream media start to admit that Iran’s military capabilities and missile arsenal are nowhere near “destroyed,” and that the West has no way to verify how many missiles Iran has left, as the attacks keep coming.
This, as Hezbollah is playing a crucial role in Lebanon, with a wave of “Merkava massacres” targeting the Israeli troops invading their country.

Oh, those cunt politicians and their mercenary credentials:
Ryan Crosswell is a Marine and former federal prosecutor who has dedicated his life to service, shaped by values learned growing up in eastern PA as the son of a small business owner and a special education teacher. After 9/11, Ryan joined the Marine Corps, serving as defense counsel and deepening his belief in due process and the rule of law. He continues to serve as a lieutenant colonel in the Marine Corps Reserve.
The Man Who Prosecuted “Many, Many People” Now Wants Their Votes
Ryan Crosswell spent three years doing Trump’s immigration dirty work in San Diego. Now he’s asking Latino families in Allentown to send him to Congress. — Pablo Manríquez
Here is what you need to know about Ryan Crosswell, the former Republican who wants Democrats in Pennsylvania’s 7th congressional district to make him their nominee for Congress.
He told you himself. Didn’t bury it. Didn’t whisper it. Said it out loud, in an interview, like a man proud of his résumé.
“I’ve prosecuted many, many people for coming to this country illegally,” Crosswell said in October 2025. “I have a familiarity with all these issues that are front and center. I don’t really need to study for the test.”
Many, many people.
In Allentown and Bethlehem, where Latino families have been living in terror since ICE turned American neighborhoods into a stalking ground, those words land like a fist on a kitchen table.
Controversial Career
The year was 2018. Jeff Sessions, then Attorney General of the United States, flew to San Diego — Crosswell’s city, Crosswell’s district — to announce that the federal government would separate migrant children from their parents at the border. He told the assembled prosecutors, the federal attorneys who worked those Southwest border cases, that they would “take on as many of those cases as humanly possible until we get to 100 percent.”
Crosswell was in that office. He stayed.
He stayed through the Muslim ban. He stayed through the raids. He stayed through the screaming of children in cages that the whole world heard on the news. He stayed, prosecuting what he himself called “border crimes, including immigration offenses,” until May of 2020 — nearly the entire first Trump administration, beginning to end, in a border district, on immigration cases.
He didn’t resign in protest. He didn’t blow a whistle. He worked the docket.
Latinos Will Decide This
Now Ryan Crosswell wants to represent a district with one of the largest concentrations of Latino voters in Pennsylvania. He has found, conveniently, that ICE “violated Fourth Amendment protections.” He thinks local officials should decide whether to cooperate with the agency.
That’s a minority position among Democrats.
It is a more complicated position when you spent three years as the man federal immigration authorities called to make their cases stick in court.
Crosswell was a registered Republican from at least 2012 through the 2024 general election — through the chaos of January 6th, through the family separations, through every ugly chapter of it. He voted for George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney for president. He called McCain his “hero.” He never once voted for Barack Obama.
He changed his registration to Democrat after the election that returned Donald Trump to power. The timing, like everything else about this candidacy, is worth sitting with.

That Muslim nation? Malaysian activist Fadiah Nadwa Fikri has been called an “undesirable visitor” and was denied entry into Singapore for engaging in political activism here, said the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).
The Malaysian activist, who has a doctorate from the National University of Singapore’s (NUS) Southeast Asian Studies department, revealed in a X post on Sunday (March 22) that she was banned from entering the country and was deported to Malaysia.
She also claimed to have asked authorities to provide grounds for her deportation but was told by authorities that the reason(s) could not be disclosed.
Fadiah added that the incident was “stunning” given that she stayed in Singapore for five years and was conferred a doctorate in January.
In response to AsiaOne’s queries, MHA said that Fadiah had encouraged students to go beyond protests — to mobilise them and different communities in Singapore and to undertake disruptive and violent action to support specific causes.
It added: “We will not tolerate foreigners getting involved in our domestic politics, nor the promotion of unlawful, violent and disruptive methods of civil protests.”
In a follow-up post on Monday, Fadiah said she had intended to visit Singapore to deliver a lecture to her former thesis supervisor’s students, adding that she had also planned to collect her books and education certificate.
She described her work as examining the intellectual history of decolonisation and anti-imperialism.

Trump EPA relied on industry science to weaken formaldehyde cancer rules, documents show . . . Papers reveal how the chemical lobby influenced policy, reversing Biden-era limits on a common carcinogen
“Yes, I agree that formaldehyde should be regulated along the lines of the current EPA position, but I do have to wonder how they got there,” Conolly said. The EPA also heavily relied on some human studies from as far back as 1987 to develop their threshold.
Conolly’s early papers were funded by the Chemical Industry Institute of Technology, a trade group, while his 2023 paper was funded by the American Chemistry Council. The American Chemistry Council’s Julianne Ogden sent an email to the EPA shortly after the February 2023 meeting pushing industry’s argument that 0.3 ppm of formaldehyde in the air is safe.

[Critics say new IOC guidelines violate fundamental human rights but that fucking fraud, AOC, backs new rules but accepts issue is ‘challenging and complex’]
Over 100 human rights, sports and scientific groups have criticised the International Olympic Committee’s new gender eligibility guidelines as “a blunt and discriminatory response that is not supported by science and violates international human rights law”.
The IOC’s new guidelines, announced on Friday, mandate genetic sex tests for all athletes competing in its women’s categories, as well as blanket bans of people who identify as transgender, intersex or with sex differences.

Everything in AmeriKKKa is fucking Orwellian and broken: A $50 billion fund to help rural hospitals could actually lead to service cuts
[The emergency department at Big Sandy’s hospital consists of a single room with two beds and only a curtain between between them for privacy. Rancher Shane Chauvet was stabilized here after a piece of metal nearly severed his arm during a windstorm a few years back.]
The emergency department at Big Sandy Medical Center in Montana is just one room, with a single curtain between two beds.
It’s one of the many parts of the 25-bed rural hospital that need updating, former CEO Ron Wiens said.
This story was produced in partnership with KFF Health News.
He said the hospital, an essential service in its namesake town of nearly 800 residents in the state’s sprawling north-central high plains, needs at least $1 million for deferred maintenance, including a failing HVAC system. But the facility has struggled to make payroll each month and can’t afford to make all the fixes, Wiens said.
Built by farmers and ranchers in 1965, Big Sandy Medical Center began with nine beds. Today, a similar community effort — donations and grants to plug financial holes each year — keeps it afloat.
Wiens, who recently left his position at the hospital, said he wishes Big Sandy could get funding from Montana’s share of the $50 billion federal Rural Health Transformation Program to renovate the hospital and direct payments to help secure its future. The state received more than $233 million in its first-year award.
But the hospital may not get the kind of help he sought.
That’s because the five-year federal program focuses on new, creative ways to improve access to rural health care, not on directly funding services and renovations. And Montana is one of at least 10 states whose leaders say projects launched under the federal program could lead rural hospitals to cut services so they can continue to afford to offer emergency and other essential care.

WE ARE DOOMED, motherfucking Takers of the world: Palm oil clearing advances in Bornean orangutan habitat despite red flags. Of course, Palm Oil is worthless, just for fucking chips and cookies.
- A palm oil firm has cleared more than 3,000 hectares (7,500 acres) of forest inside a UNESCO biosphere reserve in Indonesian Borneo, threatening areas identified as orangutan habitat.
- The concession overlaps with a wildlife corridor linking two national parks, raising concerns over habitat fragmentation and increased human-orangutan conflict.
- Authorities have acknowledged the presence of the habitat inside the company’s concession, but proposed voluntary conservation measures rather than halting clearing, drawing criticism from environmental groups.
- The case highlights broader issues of weak enforcement, disputed land rights with Indigenous communities, and supply-chain loopholes that continue to allow deforestation-linked palm oil into global markets.
