$140 Florsheim shoes, black. Presented by Trump to high officials, based on his guess as to size. Now worn with obeisance by: JD Vance. Marco Rubio. Pete Hegseth. Sean Duffy. Howard Lutnick. Sean Hannity. Lindsey Graham. Some of these dudes normally wear designer items costing ten times the Florsheims.

Turns out, with dictators, this is kind of a thing. Mao’s Mao jacket, Saddam Hussein’s moustache, Joe Stalin’s hat, jacket and jodhpurs.

Here’s an interesting essay by national security expert and founding member defiance.org, Miles Taylor. May seem funny, he tells you why it isn’t. If it’s paywalled let me know and I’ll send you a PDF.

As the Iran war enters its 10th day, opinions as to who is winning this war vary greatly depending upon which media sources you are reading.
The U.S. corporate media continues to report that this war is winding down, as Trump has made bold claims, stating that the war is “almost over” These are only some of the most prominent conditions for a possible ceasefire (from Iran)– assuming Tehran will ever trust the United States to comply:
Here we have Iran telling the self-described, hyperbolic most powerful military in the history of the world in other words – AMERICA – to essentially surrender with the following conditions:
Removal of all sanctions against Iran and release of all of Iran’s frozen assets.
2. Recognition of Iran’s right to enrich uranium on its own soil.
3. Full compensation for the damages caused by the imposed war.
4. Extradition of Iranian 5th columnists abroad, and the end of orchestrated media campaigns against Tehran.
5. No attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon or Ansarallah in Yemen.
6. The dismantling of all US military bases in West Asia.
These are the latest undeniable facts on the battlefield.
Incidentally, that happened after President Trumps 1-hour phone call to President Putin, requested by the White House.
The reply from Russia:
“The Russian president expressed a number of ideas aimed at achieving a prompt political and diplomatic resolution of the Iranian conflict, including taking into account the contacts he has held with the leaders of the Gulf states, with the president of Iran, and with leaders of several other countries.”
That’s diplo-talk for Putin telling the Americans some hard facts of life, and volunteering to find that oh so elusive off-ramp.
Washington spin wants Trump to announce that the military has reached its goals and withdraw. But there will be no cease fire from Iran!
There will be no cease fire from IRAN?

Well, here we are. Our country will be won or lost on what the administration is calling the “SAVE America Act.” All the distractions have been put in place, and now comes the big push. Project 2025 expected to lose Congress in the first midterm election, so all their aims had to be met in the first 2 years. In that I think they’ve been largely successful. But it’s imperitive we prevent this ultimate goal:

It is quite beyond belief any Democrats don’t understand the gravity of this. That’s what I’ll be watching, and asking my representatives. This is the whole ballgame.
