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."

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.

For the first time in more than a decade, no active-duty female Navy officers are likely to be promoted to admiral this year":

"After the U.S. and Iran agreed to a ceasefire deal on June 17, Trump’s aides had expected his supporters to celebrate the agreement." Instead there was online right wing opposition to it. The unlikely figure at the center of all this criticism: Trump’s former presidential campaign manager Brad Parscale." Israel paid his company $1.5 million per month for what looks like propaganda:

Brian Kilmeade said on #FoxNews about Iran: "I don't think that Witkoff and Kushner should be the ones negotiating a peace agreement. They're business guys. They have not been effective in Ukraine and have not been effective in Gaza. We have a State Department for a reason." Just like Witkoff and Kushner would be dangerously incompetent at surgery, they are dangerously incompetent at negotiating a peace agreement that would end the #IranWar.

Claim: "Trump is deporting Illegals, our Military is stronger!"

Facts: Trump claimed he would deport "the worst of the worst" but he filled his Cabinet with the worst of the worst. He deported mainly good people. When citizens protested in Minneapolis, Trump's goons murdered them and then were not arrested or investigated for those murders. Trump's military can start a war with Iran, and then lose the war.

"Donald Trump took to social media on Monday to both celebrate and seethe over the Supreme Court’s rulings":
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-supreme-court-rages-losses_n_6a429d0ae4b0f4826b469711?origin=home-latest-news-unit
All of the Supreme Court rulings should have been against Trump, in my opinion. One Supreme Court mistake replaces the civil service with a spoils system for federal government jobs. This will encourage mistakes such as the #IranWar.

In defense of Trump's #IranDeal, JD Vance said: "The Gulf Coast Coalition loves this deal."

Phil Gordon wrote: "The Gulf Coast is in the southern US along the Gulf of Mexico, but Vance is presumably referring here to the Gulf Cooperation Council whose states don't 'love this deal' but support it to end the war that Trump started, that led to thousands of attacks on their countries and shut off their exports."

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said that “Family after family of the service members killed in the Iran war told him: Finish this. Honor their sacrifice. Do not waver. Do not stop until the job is done.”

You do not honor the sacrifice of soldiers in an illegal war who died for nothing by having more soldiers die for nothing.

"The job is done" when Trump "feels" the job has been done, not when a specific goal (a victory condition) is reached.
