No other way to describe Trump's briefings by US intelligence but childish: One official described each daily video as a series of clips of “stuff blowing up” — national intelligence in the form of Instagram Reels, basically. https://www.ms.now/all-in/trumps-highlight-reel-iran-war-briefings-concern-intelligence
Trump’s ‘highlight reel’ briefings on Iran war raise concerns about U.S. intelligence

Chris Hayes says a new report on Trump’s daily Iran war briefings is the result of his hollowing out of the U.S. intelligence apparatus.

Does Trump know he's strategically lost? Trump starts war with Iran, 2/28/2027; Iran missiles destroy 30,000 interceptor missiles on USNS Robert E. Peary, 3/20/2026; Trump ultimatum to Iran, 3/21/2026; Trump backs down, 3/23/2026. GOP Congress still support his dire stupidity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqAPNl-36NU

"A million new SpaceX satellites will destroy the night sky — for everyone on Earth."

PS: A deeply revolting idea. Apart from destroying Earth-based astronomy, boosting satellite collisions, and overpopulating orbital space needed for other purposes, this would be the largest enclosure of a commons in human history.

It would be like spray-painting graffiti on the walls of the grand canyon, but worse because not everyone can see the walls of the grand canyon. Or like carving Elon Musk's initials in every tree on Earth. Or like destroying silence with an omnipresent 60-cycle hum.

A million new SpaceX satellites will destroy the night sky — for everyone on Earth

If SpaceX launches one million new satellites, it will increase atmospheric pollution and risk of falling debris. And we will see more satellites than stars.

MAGA money is big in Ohio. 2026 Ohio U.S. Senate Race:  In 2024 Senate Race, over $550 million was spent. Now Sherrod Brown (Dem) raises non-PAC money. MAGA SuperPAC billionaires are flooding Ohio w $140+ million for a Trump candidate, Jon Husted, running for JD Vance's seat. Husted hustles for Trump obviously whom billionaire PAC money supports. Nothing, even money should prompt voting for Trump or his tax-breaks-for-rich candidates.
This is a response to man-baby, Donald Trump's ignorant bluster using his illegitimate position as president of the US. Over 90% of us reject the war but Tehran will still destroy key infrastructure regardless. GOP Congress don't give a whit that all of this is true. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03/22/world/iran-war-oil-trump?unlocked_article_code=1.VFA.J2jJ.X_GaCUpbyu1b&smid=url-share
Iran War Live Updates: Tehran Vows to Destroy Key Infrastructure After Trump's Power Plant Threat

Iran dismissed President Trump’s ultimatum to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, saying it would consider electric plants and water facilities “legitimate targets” if its electrical grid were struck.

War Stagflation: Experts say Trump's war achieved no long-term objectives in Iran but possible long-term economic problems: Even with a quick settlement, non-Russia/Iran economies will suffer for years with damaged oil-production by Iran weapons. If Trump uses troops on the ground, much worse in human losses & economic travail. Many seeing Trump-caused recession. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/iran-war-recession
How the Iran War Could Lead to a Crash Worse Than 2008 | Common Dreams

It’s too late to prevent the inflation of an AI bubble or to advise against a US attack on Tehran. At this point, the most we can do is to hope for a quick end to the war and for some improvisational brilliance among the world’s leaders of government and finance.

Common Dreams
With its military depleted and overmatched, Iran is trying to make the conflict too politically combustible — and too expensive — for Washington to sustain.
They know that Trump, the total narcissist, has seduced himself into a state of hollow-minded ignorance and they will outthink/outmaneuver him. It might be to the point of his doing something stupid, like launching ground troops. and imposing interminable costs. GOP in Congress should rope the dope before all croak.

Psychologists speak of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), based on observed Trump behavior in public appearances like language difficulties, verbal slips, repetitive speech, impulsivity, & a wide-based gait. With his war, the concerns have deepened.
This miscreant-in-chief should be impeached, convicted, and removed now by GOP Trumpers. They should be so embarrassed & so humiliated they impeach and convict & remove. https://deanblundell.substack.com/p/video-trump-broke-down-on-air-force?r=53tne4&utm_m

Trump’s War Has Nothing To Do With Nuclear Weapons, Regime Change, or Iranian Freedom. It’s About One Waterway. And He Has Completely Lost Control.
