The United States military and the IDF started this war by assassinating Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and five members of his family. Murder is a violation of United States Code and the Uniform Code of Military Justice punishable by life in prison or the death penalty.
🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iranian death threats have forced America's Treasury secretary out of his home and onto a military base
Scott Bessent moved recently after US officials concluded that Iranian plotting against American officials had reached a more advanced stage, three people told the Times.
He has run the sanctions and trade squeeze on Iran since August, which reportedly puts him near the top of Tehran’s list. Treasury’s response:
“He will not be deterred by the Iranian regime’s threats.”
He isn’t the first. At least half a dozen senior officials left their Washington-area homes for protected housing last year, including Stephen Miller and Pam Bondi, and Marco Rubio was reported living on a military base as well.
Not all of those moves were about Iran.
The same report carries a warning, though. US intelligence believes Iran's hardliners will hold on to power at almost any cost, so economic pain alone may never break them.

The monster ballroom has got to go. If Democrats can't do what they were elected to do and stop this they should be gone. Democrats should do whatever they can to withhold funding for this horror Show for the remaining two years of Trump's presidency. After that the next president should make it a top priority to put a wrecking ball to Trump's ballroom.
This is utterly horrific. A complete stain on the White House. Look, I know Democrats just had a huge victory, and I know 20 or more Dems are gonna run for president, and I know I’m just one little old voter, but…no fucking way will I ever vote for a Democrat in 2028 who does not pledge to tear this monstrosity down. And really mean it. No fucking way. This is a national disgrace.👇

It's difficult to even imagine a president so stupid as Donald Trump to say that America did not start the war with Iran. Not only did the United States launch an unprovoked sneak attack on Iran in 2026 for the second time in 2 years, but the CIA and MI6 installed the Shah in 1953. After the 1979 revolution established the Islamic Republic, the United States backed Saddam Hussein in the war of Iraq against Iran between 1980 and 1988. Trump is too stupid to be president.
Trump on Iran:
America did not start a war with Iran. Iran has been waging war on America since 1979.
This should have been taken care of a long time ago.

It's good that Senator elect Abdul El-Sayed is speaking out against Pete Hegseth, but El-Sayed needs to go back and rethink his support for the US military's murder of Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei. El-Sayed needs to show moral backbone and stand up for the law.
Senator-elect El-Sayed to Pete Hegseth: “Why are you still doing this job? You’re really bad at this. Just resign. Make it easy for everybody instead of, in the end, getting taken out because that’s clearly what’s happening. So Pete, take it from me, you’re not good at this.”

"The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery contains the physical remains of three unidentified American service members [from WW I, WW II and the Korean War] and symbolically represents all missing and unknown service members who made the ultimate sacrifice in combat." Source: Defense Department via Google AI
The back of the sarcophagus bears the inscription
“Here rests in honored glory an American soldier known but to God.”
The US Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier admonished Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and talked near the solemn memorial following a Veterans Day ceremony.
“All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.” the sentinel called out, stopping his patrol to face the group as they departed.
Hegseth was standing and taking photos in front of the tomb with his wife, Jennifer, Chief of Staff Ricky Buria, Deputy Chief of Staff Patrick Weaver, and senior adviser and deputy assistant Tami Radabaugh after the ceremony held at Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day.

Donald Trump knows how to build big and ugly. The White House ballroom is a mammoth monstrosity is 90,000 sq ft dwarfing the 55,000 executive residence. The main concourse at Grand Central Terminal in New York is 33,000 sq ft.

Veterans day honors all veterans living and dead. 1.1 to 1.3 million Americans have died in wars. November 11 commemorates veterans and Armistice Day ending WW in Europe. Donald Trump is moronic to fist bump at the solemn occasion. Trump avoided serving himself.
@thewalldr50 You're a moron. Veterans Day celebrates and honors all living and past military veterans who have served in the United States Armed Forces during war or peacetime. It is on Armistice Day when WW I ended in Europe.

These morons never won a war. They are now referring to Pete Hegseth's having gotten through impeachment for now as "exoneration" and "total victory." Morons will be morons.

Donald Trump wasn't among those who served his country. In 1968, VC and NVA overran 100 hamlets in South Vietnam in the Tet offensive and Marines battled VC and NVA in the Battle of Khe Sanh. The US armed forces medical examiner disqualified Donald Trump for reasons which it is impossible to know now because records no longer exist. Trump spent the remaining 5 years of the Vietnam war working hsi was up to President at Elizabeth Trump & Sons, which he renamed The Trump Organization.
.@POTUS: "Across every generation, American liberty has been preserved by legions of selfless patriots who have raised their right hands and sworn an oath of flesh and blood for a cause whose full cost could not be measured in advance."

John Yoo is a jackass. The United States Navy didn't hesitate when they fired a double tap Tomahawk missile strike killing 168 Iranian schoolgirls ages 7-12 in Minab. Hegseth dismantled the Pentagon's target verification system resulting in these kinds of tragedies.
Constitutional expert John Yoo: “If you can go after Hegseth and impeach him because he’s carrying out the president’s legitimate orders as commander in chief, you should be able to go after everyone involved in the Iran war, from General Caine all the way down to the lowest private, who are all just following lawful orders!”
Slimeball Pete Hegseth says "never hesitate." The United States Navy didn't hesitate when they fired a double tap Tomahawk missile strike killing 168 Iranian schoolgirls ages 7-12 in Minab.

Why is draft avoider Donald Trump talking about Vietnam. Trump was disqualified by the US armed forces medical examiner for reasons his campaign claimed was bone spurs in 1968 when the Tet offensive and the Battle of Khe Sanh were underway. Trump spent the remaining 5 years of the Vietnam war in New York working with Elizabeth Trump & Son.
Trump: The Vietnam War lasted 21 years and we lost 60,000 people. Iraq went on for eight years and we lost more than 4,400 people. Afghanistan was almost 20 years and we lost 2,500 service members and got very little from any of these wars. In our case…
We had Venezuela where we're taking out billions and billions of dollars of oil, and all sorts of other things. Be hundreds of billions very soon. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. To the victor belong the spoils. They used to say. But you can say it again with us under this leadership.

The United States is not fighting back against Iran. Its military is engaged in an illegal war of aggression against Iran. Aggressors do not prevail. Ask Nazi Germany.
Trump on Iran War: Under this administration, and it was about time, somebody fought back. All of us fought back. We fought back. And we seriously fought back. And we won. Just a question of when we want to end it.
We want to make sure we have a total victory. Not a 93% victory. It's got to be total.
Hopefully, we won't have to destroy any more of that country. Got a lot of work to do to put it back.
