"War is increasingly the Israel’s go-to response to geopolitical challenges — not just the strategy but the norm."

Opinion | Israel’s War Strategy is to Avoid Peace

If war is the status quo, the job is never done, and you can never lose.

On Sunday, '60 Minutes' interviewed three Catholic Cardinals who were appropriately critical of the wars and behavior of Donald Trump.

One Cardinal said: "We are seeing the possibility of war after war after war" started by Donald Trump.

Trump ordered military attacks against Iran, then Venezuela, now Iran again, and in the near future maybe against Greenland and Cuba.

Gov. Gavin Newsom, about Donald Trump: "It is a disgrace what he’s doing in Minneapolis. It is a disgrace what he’s doing all across America. It is a disgrace what the Department of Homeland Security is posting. It is a disgrace the white supremacy and grift the Trump Administration is promoting. None of this can be normalized — he is terrorizing communities."

This extreme injustice is one more way that Donald Trump is the #WorstPresidentEver:
"The Trump administration plans to freeze $10 billion in funding for child care subsidies, social services and cash support for low-income families in five states controlled by Democrats, claiming widespread fraud throughout those states":

Health Dept. Freezes $10 Billion in Funding to 5 Democratic States

The funding pause could jeopardize child care and other programs that serve hundreds of thousands of households in California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York.

Elon Musk wrote: "It is heartwarming to see so many Venezuelans celebrating their country freed from a brutal tyrant."

Musk's comment is misleading because it implies that Musk has a heart. The Elon Musk who took a chainsaw to destroy the careers of so many good people in government appeared to be heartless.

Also, most of the same people who were running Venezuela before Trump's attack are still running Venezuela, so Venezuela is not free.

Dennis Hogan: "It is hard to imagine something more anti-kid, anti-family, and anti-worker than this. Not to mention anti-economy, since childcare subsidizes parental participation in the workforce. It is just an all around horrific decision, seemingly calculated to push people into desperation."

Trump Administration did a lot of damage,
but they did it less competently than feared,
and it will have less durability,
according to Tom Nichols.

In one of the examples described here, "The Department of Homeland Security informed a Santa Rosa-based nonprofit that it should end all of its work funded by the grant — helping legal immigrants navigate the complex pathway to American citizenship — by the end of the day, because it no longer aligned with the department’s priorities. More than $300,000 in remaining funding was terminated":

"A task force formed by Pres. Trump to consider changes to the Federal Emergency Management Agency has recommended that it should not be abolished ... a position that conflicts with Mr. Trump’s earlier assertion that the agency should go away”:

Trump Wanted to Abolish FEMA. His Own Advisers Disagree.

A panel convened by President Trump is said to have rejected the president’s idea that the agency should “go away.”
