The agenda of Washington, D.C. is very clear: they will target every country that threatens Israel, and either destroy it through carpet bombing or erase it, just as they did with Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Tater Tots and Transgender Penguins:
I have my first cup of coffee for the day in hand, and my laptop on the coffee-table in front of me, opened to my favorite government tracking site: https://www.govtrack.us/. I’m settled into my favorite spot on the couch, with Kai my 2-year old Golden Retriever and trusty research partner next to me, just a couple of political junkies, who are cruising the internet, and looking for a political good-time. Ok... I'm the political-wonk... Kai's just there for the treats and belly-rubs... and then we find what we're looking for.

"For Your Convenience"
So, I have this thing where I'm a little unhinged from time to time. I went from having zero filter as a child to not speaking up at all in my teens and early twenties. I think I'm starting to find a balance, but occasionally, I pop off and don't know how to say things "nicely"... I guess.

They Start the Wars. We Die in Them.
Is war even necessary? Do world leaders start wars for fun — as if ordinary people's lives are pieces on a chessboard? Do they actually know, or even care, that every missile they authorize is landing on someone's mother, someone's child, someone's home? Because from where the rest of us are standing, it really does not look like they do.

US Foreign Policy About Iran
Regime change, change control—these are all the issues involved. What do you actually want? Politically, what is your real endgame? The United States has never really cared about what will happen to the people of Afghanistan. You saw it just four or five years ago—how much concern did the U.S. show about the people it was leaving behind and what the Taliban might do to them?
