Celebrate your dominance. Embrace the strength. And while you're at it, ignore any fleeting thoughts of... something else. It's just bro time, not bro-therapy.
Come for the muscle, stay for the confidence. You know who you are. You’re not that guy—no matter how many perfectly sculpted men might surround you.

Trump goes nuclear on Rep. Massie for opposing Iran strikes. Massie called the attacks “not constitutional.”
Trump fired back, calling him “weak,” “ineffective,” a “pathetic LOSER” who MAGA should “drop like the plague” — vowing to take him down in Kentucky. All for questioning unchecked war powers. #press

Republican representative Thomas Massie calls Trump's attack on Iran unconstitutional.
And he is right in the sense that Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution says only Congress can declare war.

"It's okay mom, we know the way."
This momma deer and her three fawns have been through our yard enough times that the young ones, seemingly more confident each time, venture ahead without waiting for mom to lead the way.
The video captures a serene backyard scene featuring a lush green lawn bordered by a wooden fence. In the background, a large tree stands prominently, providing a natural backdrop. The setting is tranquil, with a few deer visible throughout the video. Initially, two deer are seen: one adult and one fawn, with the adult grazing near the tree and the fawn standing a short distance away. As the video progresses, a third deer, another fawn, joins the scene, moving closer to the adult deer. The deer exhibit gentle movements, with the adult occasionally looking around and the fawns exploring the area. The video maintains a consistent, peaceful atmosphere, with the deer remaining the focal point against the backdrop of the green lawn and the tree. The overall scene is calm and undisturbed, highlighting the natural behavior of the deer in a suburban environment.

The image displays a "SQUAD PAYOUT" screen from a video game. The background features a gradient sky with a horizon, and two guns are visible on the sides. The screen is divided into sections with different types of rewards.
At the top, the title "SQUAD PAYOUT" is prominently displayed. Below it, the section labeled "SAMPLES" shows three different types of rewards: a green circle with the number "33," an orange square with the number "29," and a pink cross with the number "5."
The next section, labeled "CURRENCY," shows two types of in-game currency. The first is represented by a yellow "R" with the number "7,002," and the second is a skull icon with the number "7."
Finally, the "XP" section shows the experience points earned, which is "1,593" in blue text.
The overall layout is clean and organized, with each reward type clearly labeled and visually distinct.

I don’t know why any of the western leaders think Iran would engage in diplomacy. They have been illegally attacked under false pretences for exercising rights under the NPT. Why would that get them to “return to negotiations”, particularly considering it was these illegal attacks that disrupted diplomacy?
These talking points are the logic of war, nothing more. Unconditional surrender or violence. It has never lead to peace.

The image depicts a serene rural scene with a grassy field where four cows are grazing. The cows are primarily brown and white, with one having a predominantly brown coat. They are scattered across the field, with one cow slightly separated from the others. In the background, there is a large brick water tower with a conical roof and a weather vane on top, standing prominently against a backdrop of lush green trees and a partly cloudy sky. The grass is a vibrant green, with some patches of bare earth visible, and a small piece of driftwood lies on the ground in the foreground. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and pastoral, with the cows calmly feeding and the water tower adding a historical element to the scene.

I can't hide the hurt. Not from words, but painful experience.

Valuable commentary about Trump's decision to bomb Iran continues to unfold. With this posting, I'm going to begin a new thread of commentary on this topic, since the previous one had gotten long.
In a statement entitled "Bombing God's Love," Brian Kaylor calls on Bob Dylan as a witness that
"Dropping bombs on people doesn’t count as loving God."
Though Trump invoked the name of God several times after annoucing he had bombed Iran….
publicwitness.wordandway.org/p…
Bombing God’s Love
“I want to just thank everybody and, in particular, God.Brian Kaylor (A Public Witness)
"In rejecting diplomacy and choosing war, not only in breach of international law but at the behest of a country pursuing annihilation in Gaza, the US has delivered a resounding blow to the architecture of global affairs. It has signalled that countries that negotiate (Iran) face stark consequences, which those which rush to own the bomb (North Korea) can avoid."

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •What Russia appears to say is "They don't have nukes now, but you just gave them license to do so."
On Jan 14, 2025 Saudi Energy Minister Al Saud announced Saudi Arabia would begin to manufacture and sell enriched uranium. Saudi had signed the NNPT, so this would likely violate that, but Trump has announced no plans to bomb Riyadh.
