This war in Iran is worst foreign policy blunder since Iraq, & just like the Iraq war, it's a war built on lies. Let's update the record. On day one Trump said it was running 'ahead of schedule' ...

If it's "over," perhaps Lil' Marco will volunteer to plant his butt in the proverbial crow's nest and guide the first oil-laden ship through the Strait of Hormuz. Thanks, pinche Marco, don't trip over those Florsheims on your way out the door.

Let's face it: People like Trump and Rubio must have mystical powers; to will the existence of wars and then will them out again.

I, speaking for myself, am impressed.

US Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) wants a non-Likud PM to lead Israel, someone who doesn't make the Pariah nation look so bad-- like the odious Benjamin Netanyahu-- while the IDF ethnically cleanses Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.

Just ask US Senator Jon Ossoff or his colleague US Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) one simple question and you'll know right away:

"Senator. Is Israel conducting genocide in Gaza and ethnically cleansing the West Bank? Yes or no please, Senator."
