BREAKING: MIC DROP! Senator Mark Kelly delivers the best takedown of Trump's failed Iran War that we've ever heard — just in time for the midterm elections! This is an absolute slam dunk... "We had a President take this country to war without a strategic goal, without a plan, without a timeline, and without an exit strategy. And now he's stuck. He doesn't know what to do," Kelly said, while campaigning for Senate candidate Troy Jackson in Maine. "I sit on the Armed Services and the Intelligence Committees, both of them. And I will say, from what I know about this, the Iranians weren't any closer to developing a nuclear weapon this year than they were when I first got to the United States Senate in 2020," said Kelly. "And it's this President who, by the way, tore up the deal in 2018 that started them to enrich the uranium at a higher level." "So if you think there was a problem, this President created the problem!" he continued. "But he didn't need to go to war and put Americans in harm's way. We have now 20 deceased service members. Over 800 injured." By now, most discerning people have come to realize that this war was never about nuclear weapons. Trump launched this war because Israel convinced him that he could win a quick, splashy victory and Israel wanted this war because they want to destroy a regional adversary. American interests were never at stake. "And what did the American people get out of this?" asked Kelly. "They got nothing. They got higher gas prices. They got higher food prices." "We've got service members deployed for record numbers of days on the USS Abraham Lincoln. And I understand going on cruise can be hard. It's challenging," he went on. "But really, they had eight service members who tried to commit suicide because of the conditions aboard the ship. And I've got to tell you, the worst thing about that, by far, for me, was to see the Secretary of Defense go straight to camera and say, there's no problem, and we give commanders everything they need. That is not leadership." "Leadership has taken some responsibility for whatever the situation is," added Kelly. "And by the way, how hard would it have been for him to say, hey, I recognize there's a problem. We're going to look into the problem, and we're going to make things better for these service members because they deserve that. It's not hard to do. This Secretary of Defense was incapable of doing that." Kelly is right to lay the blame for this disastrous war as much at Hegseth's feet as Trump's. Our booze-breathed, Fox News-fried "Secretary of War" is more interested in posturing as a tough alpha male than he is in actually leading our troops. These midterm elections are, among other things, a referendum on this war. If you're sick of wasting blood and treasure on endless wars, vote blue! Please ❤️ and share if you think that Mark Kelly nailed it!

BREAKING: HOLY SH*T! Trump's new Press Secretary gets pulled into a massive scandal as it's revealed that her husband was involved with huge business deals in NORTH KOREA. Every foreign dictatorship now has a puppet in this White House... White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia's first week on the job was already proving to be an unmitigated disaster. First, she hilariously flubbed her first briefing with reporters by reading mechanically and remedially from prepared notes, pausing awkwardly, and stumbling over her words. Right out of the gate, it became clear that she was hired because of her physical resemblance to Ivanka Trump rather than any kind of public speaking skills. Then, it was revealed that her claims to be an "attorney" were trumped up and there is no evidence that she ever passed the bar, but supposedly she practiced law in China, where she lived for two years. Imagine if a Democrat had hired someone like this to work in the White House. Fox News hosts would be going red in the face screaming about how she's a Chinese spy. Now, it turns out that her husband Tyler Zacharia helped his company Schulze Global Investments expand into North Korea — something that his bio on the company website for 2521 Entertainment proudly admits. According to Forbes, Schulze Global gave three substantial loans to North Korean mining companies in 2008, followed by a $1 million loan in 2011 for corn to feed workers for a North Korean company. While the U.S. didn't place its full sanctions package on new investments in North Korea until 2016, the regime in Pyongyang has long been a brutal dictatorship that imprisons, enslaves, tortures, and murders its own people. But for the sociopaths who run in MAGA circles, those are minor details that can't be permitted to get in the way of turning a tidy profit. Despite all of their grandstanding about opposing the communists in China and North Korea, the transnational oligarchs that run the Republican Party believe in nothing. They care about accumulating wealth at all costs, regardless of how much human suffering it's built upon. Remember that the next time you hear them ranting about how Democrats are "communists." These people don't even care about actual communists. Please ❤️ and share to demand a full investigation!

BREAKING: AMEN! The Catholic Church SLAMS Pete Hegseth’s big public execution announcement as a “barbaric promotion of a culture of death.” The gloves have really come off now… “It is with shock and great sorrow that I have learned of the Department of War’s decision to publicly livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan,” Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said in an official statement. Yesterday, our alcoholic Fox News host turned “Secretary of War” proudly revealed that Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter who killed 13 people and injured 32 others in 2009, will be publicly executed. The announcment proved to be red meat for the so-called Christians in the MAGA movement, because apparently they’d rather live in Ancient Rome than in a civilized western democracy. They delight in carnage. “Our God is the God of life. In no way can Hassan’s actions be condoned but this decision is a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered,” Archbishop Coakley continued. “The word of God exhorts us: ‘do not repay anyone evil for evil' (Romans 12:17). The public execution even of one who has done grave harm will only further undermine the moral fabric of our nation and be a blight on the conscience of its people.” “I pray for the intercession of Our Lady of Good Counsel that we as a nation may always choose life even in the most trying times and circumstances,” he added. We couldn’t agree more. Hasan, who is confined to a wheelchair due to gunshot injuries incurred during his attack, deserves to spend the rest of his life in a prison cell. Executing him in a public has nothing to do with justice and everything to do with an administration that fetishizes violence, particularly “holy” violence against Muslims, above all else. Hegseth and Trump are pandering to their base and dragging our entire nation into the gutter in the process. You can feel perfectly justified anger and even hatred for Hasan’s murderous actions and still not want to live in an Iron Age culture where people are killed in public by the government. Hegseth is taking a page right out of the ISIS playbook with this one and no doubt hopes that this display of brutality will prompt bloodthirsty young men to enlist in the military or ICE, which is exactly why the caliphate spread its execution videos online. These Christian Nationalists are exactly the same as the radical Islamists that they despise. America is truly circling the drain now. Thankfully, the Catholic Church is using its full weight as a 2000-year-old institution to take a moral stand against this demonic regime. We must all lend our voices to their fight for a juster, kinder, more Christ-like society. Please ❤️ and share to thank Archbishop Coakley for speaking out!

BREAKING: “MADE ME PHYSICALLY SICK!” A federal grand juror just broke her silence on what she heard while serving on a grand jury involved in Epstein trials, and every American needs to hear what she said. A former federal grand juror who served for the last year and a half spoke out on a recent video, sharing from her car the raw toll of hearing cases involving depravity and child exploitation. Bound by secrecy rules not to discuss specifics, she made one powerful point clear: the horrors in the Epstein files are NOT fiction. She said: “I think that there are a lot of you out there who look at some of the stuff in the Epstein file releases and you say there's no way this happened. This is not a real thing. This is a figment of someone's imagination, but I want to tell you that stuff does happen.” The juror described leaving grand jury sessions deeply disturbed and nauseated by the evidence she heard. “On more than one occasion when I left the grand jury I was physically sick from the things that I had to hear while I was there. These memories of some of those things that will always be with me.” She said she learned that evil exists: “There are people in the world that are this depraved. There are people in the world that hurt children. There are people in the world that are just wired so screwed up or had so much trauma. I don't know what causes these things, but for whatever reason they are capable. Maybe they're just soulless. Her summation cut deep: “There’s nothing that I have read in the Epstein files that is that far-fetched to me.” This is not speculation from a pundit on TV. It is testimony from a real person who sat through real evidence, real testimony, real pain. The Epstein files are not conspiracy theories or tabloid fantasy. They document crimes against children by powerful people who thought they were untouchable. When a grand juror says the depravity is believable and leaves her physically ill, it demands attention. The administration’s selective releases, redactions, and delays only deepen the wound. Survivors and the public deserve full transparency, not half-measures and excuses. Evil thrives in darkness. Light is the only cure. If this grand juror’s words shake you to the core, like and share to demand the full truth be released.
