'GOP senator claims he was 'de-escalating' as video catches him injuring anti-war Marine'

https://www.rawstory.com/tim-sheehy-2675555269/

My words: Video included

'A Senate Republican claimed he was attempting to "de-escalate" after video emerged of him helping police forcefully remove an anti-war Marine during a mid-hearing scuffle, leading to audible gasps as the man appeared to be injured.

Bystanders accused Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) of breaking the hand of Marine veteran and anti-war activist Brian McGinnis during a break in a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Wednesday. McGinnis put his hand in a doorway to prevent Capitol Police from removing him from the room.'

How Would Iran Respond to a U.S. Attack?

https://www.csis.org/analysis/how-would-iran-respond-us-attack

'A1: Could Iran use cyberattacks to retaliate? Yes. Any response is almost certain to involve either a direct or indirect role for cyber operations. The regime has a documented history of substituting cyber operations for its traditional approach to proxy warfare in terrorism. Between 2012 and 2014, Iran targeted U.S. financial institutions (Operation Ababil), Saudi Aramco, and the Las Vegas Sands Corporation...

A2: Could Iran target U.S. unmanned systems in retaliation? They have in the past. In the summer of 2019, amidst high tensions in the Gulf, Iran responded to a U.S. military buildup by shooting down a RQ-4A Global Hawk High-Altitude, Long-Endurance surveillance drone in international waters near the Strait of Hormuz...

A3: Iran could opt to respond to a limited strike by the United States in the maritime domain. Firing one-way attack drones and laying mines provides a way to scale escalation without becoming locked into a major war. Iran could opt to lay mines short of closing the Strait of Hormuz and disrupting global oil markets or simply fire multiple drones at a U.S. target they know would be intercepted, but still likely to send a message. Waves of one-way attack drones in the air and sea also serve to deplete U.S. defense munitions, which are already at low levels. In the current standoff, the United States has already shot down a drone approaching a U.S. aircraft carrier. In the extreme, it could even combine fast attack boats, anti-ship cruise missiles, drones, and mines to try and sink a U.S. ship, but this would set the precedent for a larger second strike by the United States....

A4: What unconventional response options does Iran have? Iran has a long history of using terrorism, proxies, and assassinations to advance state interests. In the early 1980s, Iran conducted multiple bombings of U.S. facilities across the Middle East, including the U.S. Marine barracks and embassy in Beirut, as well as the U.S. and French embassies in Kuwait. The period also saw kidnappings of U.S. citizens and high-profile airline hijackings...

A5: Could Iran launch large missile salvos at U.S. bases in the region? Iran has used limited missile strikes to retaliate against U.S. attacks in the past to demonstrate resolve while avoiding a larger conflict...The historical record suggests Iran seeks a delicate balance of signaling resolve to save face while avoiding a larger escalation spiral that would threaten regime interests, if not survival. If the initial U.S. attack is limited, Iran’s response will be proportional and limited or seek to use a proxy to defuse the situation. Tehran will have to assume that the United States will have stealth aircraft and land-attack cruise missiles at the ready to retaliate against any missile launch site, creating a need to fire from multiple launch sites, integrate drones, and keep large stockpiles in secure underground caves...

If the U.S. response is larger than press reports suggest out of fear of Iranian ballistic missile attacks or the need to limit naval attack options, including closing the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian leaders may confront a losses frame and adopt risk-acceptant behavior.'

TIME FOR THE SPOOKS. THE END.

'Joe: DOJ was caught in an Epstein cover up, but GOP is dragging Hillary Clinton into a deposition?'

'Members of the Republican-led House Oversight Committee are scheduled to question former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday as part of their investigation into the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, The Justice Department has withheld notes and memos reflecting FBI interviews from its release of the Epstein files, including interviews with a woman who accused President Donald Trump of sexually abusing her when she was a minor, MS NOW has confirmed.'

My words: They will never leave this woman alone. It's abhorrent. They are disgusting bullies.

'Trump Threw Secret Situation Room Tantrum: Wolff Inside Trump's Head'

'Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles with a new window into the volatility inside the West Wing, describing what he says was a secret Situation Room tantrum by Donald Trump, a moment when military briefers could not give him the absolute guarantees he demanded, and the meeting spiraled. Wolff connects that flash of anger to the broader pattern he’s reported for years: a president who hates paper trails, avoids email, and warns aides never to “leave a record,” an instinct that now looms large as the Epstein Files fallout engulfs figures like Prince Andrew and Peter Mandelson. Why, Wolff asks, do so many powerful men have receipts—while Trump seems not to? From the chaos-as-cover strategy to the Iran briefings where strength is performative, and doubt is intolerable, this is a portrait of a leader who equates uncertainty with humiliation and reacts accordingly.'

My words: If you haven't been watching the Daily Beast series on Donald Trump, I highly recommend. Wolff has a source in the White House.

'Supreme Court justices stone-faced in front row as Trump calls their tariff ruling 'unfortunate'

https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/supreme-court-trump-tariff-state-of-the-union-b2926981.html

President attacks high court as he continues to lie about who pays the import taxes he favors

'With members of the U.S. Supreme Court looking on, President Donald Trump attacked the justices for striking down his broad claim of emergency tariff powers last week, calling the ruling “very unfortunate” and lamenting the court’s involvement in the entire matter.

Speaking from the House of Representatives chamber during the first State of the Union speech of his second term, Trump falsely claimed that foreign countries are “now paying us hundreds of billions of dollars” in the form of tariffs that are actually taxes paid by importers and passed on to American consumers as higher prices.

“And then just four days ago, an unfortunate ruling from the United States Supreme Court. It just came down. Came down, very unfortunate ruling,” he said.'

My words: Well, Donald, you might have just turned the majority of the Supreme Court against you. We can hope.
