**** Relative of Killed USAF Crewman Calls Attack on People of Iran "Uncalled For" ****

"Cousin of Tech Sgt Tyler Simmons, whose military refueling plane crashed in Iraq, says: We didn't need to be in this war.'

Simmons's family urged US citizens to register to vote as a means of advocating for political change.

"Families are suffering right now," Simmons's grandmother, said Bernice Smith. Without explicitly mentioning Dummkopf Trumpf's junta, she added: "Just to create a war because you want to create a war is not right."

Approximately 200 Servicemembers have been wounded during the unlawful attack on the people of Iran.

The US lost a dozen MQ-9 Reaper drones; each one costs at least $30 million to produce, meaning the US has lost about $360 million worth of the drones in less than three weeks.

US midterm elections are on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

"Zambia? Hmm, let me catch up on the country. I'll just go to the CIA World Factbook and get some background data on Zambia.

Oh, that's right.

The idiotic Trumpf junta decided to rubbish that invaluable resource for academics, researchers, economists, travel agents, and military planners."

*** Dummkopf Trumpf Blasts ABC News About the 'Dignified' Transfer Fiasco

This good-for-nothing lout will be confirmed anyway.

Look at all the junta appointments, a basket of deplorables without a grain of scruples, and all Senate-confirmed.

***Dummkopf Trumpf: "I'll have the honor of taking Cuba and I can do anything I want with it.' ***

FTA:

"The morbidly obese draft dodging geriatric pedophilic president's threats against Cuba follow a very public warning from good-for-nothing warmonger US Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) who should retire and move to Israel since he loves Israelis more than he loves Americans. The overpaid South Carolina Republican gleefully chirped that Dummkopf Trumpf was unlawfully targeting authoritarian regimes one by one, with Cuba next on his nefarious agenda, but did not say when Trumpf would target his own authoritarian junta for regime change."

Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin purchased stock of the only major American oil company producing in Venezuela, on 29 Dec 2025 for $15,001 and $50,000. On 3 Jan 2026, Dummkopf Trumpf illegally attacked Venezuela and kidnapped its president, Nicols Maduro, and extradited him to the US. Mullin, who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, purchased the Chevron shares at $150.99 which then rose to $196.82, an increase of 30.4%. There is no indication that Mullin had insider knowledge of Trumpf's plans to attack Venezuela before he bought the shares.

Good-for-nothing Markwayne Mullin has seen his personal wealth soar since he joined the Senate three years ago. In 2024, his assets were worth between $29 million and $97 million compared with $2.8 million to $9 million in 2012.

This untrustworthy, violent oligarch is scheduled to go before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs on Wednesday for his confirmation hearing to become Dummkopf Trumpf's new Homeland Security Secretary, replacing the equally repulsive Kristi Noem.

Left-leaning is putting power and wealth to where it belongs-- in the hands of the people and not the ruling elites.

Hi Snoofy: Per my SOP, "junta" is my substitution for the word 'administration,' otherwise the post is cut and pasted verbatim.

These two pieces of sociopathic pot-smoking----------- are utterly revolting.

Excerpts from the legal depositions of good-for-nothing DOGE wastrels Justin Fox and Nate Cavanaugh:

"You don't regret that people might have lost important income ... to support their lives?" an attorney asked Nate Cavanaugh about the grant cancellations. "No. I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from $2 trillion to close to zero," Cavanaugh bleated. "Did you reduce the federal deficit?" the attorney asked. "No, we didn't," Cavanaugh admitted.

"Do you think it's inappropriate in any way that someone in their 20s with no experience with grants for the federal government was making personal judgment calls about what grants to cancel?" an attorney asked. "Um, no. I don't think it's inappropriate," the overpaid Cavanaugh sniveled, arguing that he did not need formal education or experience to make informed judgments.

"Did you ever find it problematic that you were, alongside Nate, short-listing for termination projects that had hits on words like Black, homosexual, LGBTQ+?" an attorney asked, prompting an objection and follow up question.

"We were identifying wasteful spend in the government based on Trumpf junta direction. That was the whole reason we were there, was to find savings," Justin Fox whined, though he acknowledged the deficit was never reduced.

Well said.

And "we have ZERO right to use force to overthrow or debilitate any left leaning government in the Middle East."

Total number of Israelis killed by Palestinians since 7 Oct 2023: 2,039.

Total number of Palestinians killed by the IDF in Gaza and the West Bank since 7 Oct 2023: 75,227.

This is a factor of 37:1.

The peace-loving hardworking American taxpayer is funding this genocide and sending Israel US-manufactured weapons instead of helping the underdogs-- the Palestinians.

*** Iceland and the Netherlands Join Genocide Case Against Israel ***

Neither the UN nor any international organization or body of academics have accused Palestinians of committing genocide.

After Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse defeated General Custer at the Battle of Little Big Horn, no one accused the indigenous people of committing genocide.

In fact, no indigenous group getting erased has ever been accused of genocide.

They are the victims.

This innocent Palestinian family was genocided by the IDF.

When one superior side is erasing a smaller inferior side, this is not a conflict and the victims should bot be blamed, like this innocent family from the West Bank should not be blamed.

Thanks, AU.

I'm way behind on my booklist, so no promises.

For light, quick, and humorous reading, may I recommend Damon Runyan?

Hah!

Well said, mi fraterno.

Iran posed only a military threat to Israel by counterattacking on behalf of the genocided Palestinians and vulnerable Lebanese in the south of their country-- their fellow co-religionists who founded Lebanese Hezbollah after the 1982 IDF invasion.

Shia Iran poses an ideological threat to the non-democratic Sunni Arab fat cat emirates and is a petro-competitor to them.

The EU and NATO realize that Iran is not a real threat: KGB veteran Vladimir Putin is the real threat to world peace and EU security, as seen by his "Special Military Operation" killing Ukrainian civilians and destroying the environment.

Who else is killing civilians and despoiling nature?

The US and Israel.

James Talarico (D), Zohran Mamdani (D), and Graham Platner (D) will be pilloried from both sides of the political aisle because they do not receive AIPAC funding and represent a genuine grassroots threat to the well-entrenched status quo.

That is why we see the ridiculous and illogical attacks against them.

Voters that stayed home for midterm elections (35% - 45% historic turnout) and Presidential elections (65% historic turnout) because they were stuck choosing between Scylla and Charybdis-- a Republican or an AIPAC Democrat-- will now come out to vote for these peace-loving progressives on the Democratic ticket.

We saw it in Texas with James Talarico's primary win and last year in NYC with Zohran Mamdani, but we failed to find an antiwar POTUS candidate in 2024.

The antiwar movement, a movement as old as our very own American Revolution, finally have excellent candidates to choose from in 2026 and beyond.

The Sunni Arabs and Persian Shias have a long rivalry, now punctuated over oil wealth.

Many of these Gulf States have Shia minorities which are oppressed, like the Houthi tribe

The Iranian people's revolution of 1979 continues to pose a threat to the Sunni Arab Gulf emirates and Saudi Arabia.

CIA, DIA, CENTCOM J2 all knew that Shia Iran would retaliate against the Sunni Gulf States that host US military bases and do everything they can to undermine one of the few non-monarchies in the Middle East-- which is also a petro-competitor.

Moreover, the Iranian theocracy exposes the hypocrisies of the Gulf States and Saudi Arabia.

I watched caravans of wealthy Saudis drive across the King Fahd Causeway into Bahrain to drink, gamble, and whore around on the weekend.

The pious Iranian leadership doesn't do that.

This causeway was recently struck by an Iranian drone.

Poor hypocritical Saudis can't booze it up safely in Bahrain now.

Hi AU

Are you enjoying the book about the Kurds?

My wife and I have an extensive library and I'm eager to lend out my books.

But these two books never leave my home:

Yet again, C0RI0LANUS must burn out his mind's eye today.
