#WeaponsOfMassDistraction is a term that Marc Morial, President of the National Urban League, mentioned twice today on MSNOW. It is used to describe Trump's weird complaining about Communism in the United States, where Communism is pretty much irrelevant.

Trump wants to distract people from his hopeless #IranWar. #OperationEpicFailure #quagmire

When someone wrote that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth hasn't explained the military strategy behind the renewed air strikes, I replied: "In fairness to Pete Hegseth, he hasn't explained the military strategy behind the renewed air strikes because there is no military strategy behind it, and also because he knows so little about the military. Hegseth had too low a rank to be able to see the big picture."

IJ Bailey: "We are in a war we* should not have launched. More troops are being killed. An untold number have been injured. Our munitions stockpiles are getting dangerously low. We can’t even open the Strait that was open before we attacked Iran - and killed a bunch of Iranian school girls. End this dumb war now."

Before Trump spoke on Thursday, Sen. Jon Ossoff predicted: “Here’s what’s going to happen tonight: the world’s most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise for Americans across the country.”

I was critical of Donald Trump in the past, but in the interest of fairness I should write something positive about him. Okay, here it is: I am positive that Donald Trump would be the very best, yes the very best person in the world if every other person was dead. But with so many people still alive, #PutinsPuppet continues to be one of the worst people in the world. For example, Trump knows how to start #ForeverWars but not how to stop them.

Meredith Lee Hill: "JD Vance urged House Republicans to pass the $95 billion Trump requested for the Iran war."

Jesse Lee: "The guy (Vance) who used to rail against spending money on foreign wars instead of people here at home has now gutted health care and food assistance for people like his hometown, and is demanding Congress fork over $95 billion for another endless war."

The United States is losing its war against Iran. Meanwhile, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is winning his war against women: "Opportunities Narrow for Women as Hegseth Blocks More Promotions.

Young conservatives are drifting away from Israel. Israel paid a former Trump presidential campaign manager, Brad Parscale to send them pro-Israeli propaganda. "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government had hired Parscale to improve the nation’s standing among conservatives, only to watch support continue to erode on the American right and across the broader U.S. electorate":
