Our story so far: As nearly as I can work it out, Israel has been murdering Palestinians at a shocking rate in Gaza, claiming they’re wiping out Hamas. Apparently, EVERY Palestinian in Gaza is Hamas as far as Israel is concerned. Israel claims Iran has been financially backing Hamas in the fight, so they decided Iran should be involved, too. Never mind that Israel could NOT continue this fight without backing from the US. In Israel’s calculation, a country backing Israel is good, a country backing Israel’s opponent is an unforgivable outrage.

Israel repeats a long-ago debunked claim that Iran is working toward building a nuclear weapon and gets the Foolhardy First Felon to bomb some facilities in Iran. Then, the Felon posts in social media that he has brokered a cease-fire between the two countries. Iran “responds” to the US bombing by launching some cruise missiles at a US base in Qatar. Qatar is upset that Iranian missiles violated Qatari airspace but seems to be taking a measured response. Israel uses the launch of Iranian missiles at a US base in Qatar as a pretext to unload a huge number of bombs on Iran.

Donny knew it was going on. He says he got Bibi on the phone and told him not to drop those bombs. Bibi said he had to, the mission had already left. Donny claims he told Bibi to turn the planes around and posted to social media that the planes would do a “friendly plane wave” to Iran and go home. But the planes did a very unfriendly bombing of Tehran, instead. Iran fired back, because of course they did.

It should be noted, Israel is doing pretty much whatever it wants despite any agreements, international laws, or war crimes that might be involved. After the way they’ve been behaving in Gaza, I don’t trust the Israeli government. (The government, not “Jews,” so blow it out your ear.) The fact that the two countries were still exchanging fire after the announcement of the cease-fire really irritated Donny who said, “I gotta get Israel to calm down now,” as he left the White House, Reuters reports.

“Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I’ve never seen before, the biggest load that we’ve seen…We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.”

But speaking of not know what one is doing, he came out immediately after the unprovoked attack and claimed Iran’s nuclear facilities had been completely obliterated. It turns out, Iran’s nuclear facilities were mildly damaged and should be back up and running in a few months.

MOSTLY, this raid proved that the vaunted ‘Bunker Buster Bomb’ doesn’t work very well. Each one of those bad boys costs $20 million dollars. Each one. The US dropped 14 of them during the raid. $280 million dollars in bombs alone, that doesn’t count the cost of the B-2 bombers required to carry those bombs or the support planes to protect the B-2s for a setback of only a few months. Hell, that’s not even good business.

The Felon and some of his followers are all giddy now. Oh, he’s going to get the Nobel Peace Prize THIS time. The dude is obsessed with trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize. Obama got one (that he, candidly, didn’t deserve) and now Donny desperately wants one. He’s obsessed. And, apparently, he’ll kill anyone to get one.

Personally, I’ll be surprised if one gets a peace prize for an illegal bombing raid. “No,” MAGA will say, “it’s for the cease-fire.” Yeah, the cease-fire after the illegal bombing raid. You can’t just eliminate that part of the equation. The Nobel committee won’t. Besides, Netanyahu is still in charge in Israel. Do you really think he’s going to stand down? Especially now that the world knows America’s great big, very expensive, vaguely suggestively named bomb (“Massive Ordnance Penetrator”) only did minor damage?

But the plot thickened on Wednesday, when a new intelligence assessment from Israel was issued. It determined that the bombs really DID do bigly damage to Iran’s nuclear capability. So, to review: that’s Hyperbolic Donny and Netanyahu – both of whom desperately want to look tough, decisive, and successful – saying the bombing was the bombing of their dreams and everyone else – including Donny’s own intelligence services – saying it was just a scratch.

There’s no sense in arguing about it at this point. The whole world will know which was correct by how quickly Iran gets it’s nuclear program up and running again. But, based on the veracity of every other thing 47 says, I’m guessing that will be sooner, rather than later…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Right now, as far as the world is concerned, the only thing keeping the American dollar going is Jerome Powell, the head of the Federal Reserve. He serves a predetermined term and that term runs another eleven months. He’s solid. He knows his stuff. He keeps standing in the way of Hyperbolic Donny’s efforts to obliterate the US economy. So, of course, 47 hates him and attacks him as “stupid” and “very dumb.” But Donny’s too stupid to know what stupid looks like, clearly a widespread affliction today in this once-great nation.

The Felon’s attacks on Powell are political, so, of course, he claims Powell is acting politically. As of today, the Fed doesn’t do that. It’s an independent group that is supposed to act on economic data alone and, as of today, it does. That means Powell doesn’t toady up to 47. THAT means 47 wants him gone. But because of the rules, he can’t just fire him.

Instead, Donny says he’s going to name Powell’s successor early, before the end of Powell’s term. THEN, every time Powell makes an economic decision, the regime can trot out their preferred monetary moron to say HE would have done things differently, politically, whatever Donny wanted, undermining Powell’s decision.

So, the dollar has fallen to a low not seen since the world was trying to crawl out from under the wreckage of Donny’s epic mishandling of Covid-19. It turns out, there are a LOT of ways Donny can destroy the US economy and he’s going full throttle on all of them…

Mike German, an ex-FBI agent, said immigration agents hiding their identities ‘highlights the illegitimacy of actions.’ He’s right about that. These guys KNOW that what they’re doing is wrong and the masks are the proof. But it’s worse than that. Now, bad guys are cosplaying as cops (copsplaying?) so they can do bad guy things, inadvertently supported by potential actual cops hiding fearfully behind their own masks.

SO, what stops, say, a terrorist from, oh, I don’t know, Iran maybe, from dressing up as a cop to gain access to some sensitive area and do some severe damage, possibly in retribution for some recent bombing?

Masked cops are just bad in every measurable way, and they’re likely making the whole country far LESS safe. Is there ANYTHING Donny doesn’t destroy? Anything at all? I’ll wait…
