Have you looked at your IRA and 401K lately? Still think POTUS is doing the right thing? International billionaires fully invested in our stock market are heading for the doors as they believe otherwise. All this from the man who claimed he was going to end all wars, saved millions of lives with OWS, and the Epstein files were all fake. Eyes Wide Open here!

S&P 500 is only a few % under an all time high of just over 7,000, something that could not have been imagined. I just sold most of my US Oil fund from my retirement. Made a nice profit.

But a nice buying opportunity is coming up, if the S&P falls 8 - 10% from its high.

We are witnessing the greatest military victory in modern history.

A 3rd Aircraft strike force is on its way to the Mediterranean.

And it wasn't long ago that we had the greatest short operation in history, when Maduro was captured and Venezuela has been freed.

All planned and by intention. If you were i8n the mag 7 you have been kicked. I don't look at averages I look at my individual portfolio

Gerald Williams's avatar

The S&P 500 is all that matters when judging the market. If someone invests poorly in individual stocks that is their problem.

Members of Congress or the Cabinet should not be allowed to invest in individual stocks.

They all do it through trusts and offshore facilities. Most countries have criminals within their country - our country is owned by criminals.

Headlines have appeared in Ynet news out of Israel and Roya news out of Jordan, quoting high ranking members of the Iranian parliament, referring to the Trump administration as "Epstein’s gang." This, and "the Epstein coalition" is how the US under POTUS Trump is being referred to, and regarded, not only by the Iranian regime but around the world.

It's extremely unlikely, unless Pakistan or North Korea has given them one that Iran has a nuclear weapon, considering that the regime are religious whackjobs and the late Ayatollah had issued a fatwa against them.

As regards ground troops, this is exactly what the Mullahs want.

In other countries, and Iran would be no exceptupion, US troops are widely regarded as cowardly, weak and inferior to the soldiers of most other armies.

The Iranians would be chafing at the bit, eager for the US to send its soldiers so they can kill and be killed by them and become martyrs.

Dr. Paul Alexander's avatar

there is so much troubling stuff you wrote and so much of it is correct, sadly, shockingly. martyrs...they yearn it and will get stronger by it. the west does not understand these people. they SEEK death...they get stronger...and they have 1 billion army in the wait...do not think the muslim arab world will not unite against the west...

Dr. Paul Alexander's avatar

I want my troops home now and POTUS Trump to get proper advice not the shit and madness the dry drunk et al. are giving him. he is misguided at present.

AwakeNotWoke's avatar

Send ICE Barbie over with the plane with the bed to "negotiate" with the Mullahs and maybe they will unconditionally surrender.

Margaret Shattuck's avatar

Doc. This is what you don't get. If Trump was competent, he would see through that garbage. He would never let them do that. So you have to come to terms with this. Either Trump is grossly INCOMPETENT, or he's grossly CORRUPT!!! BOTH disqualify him from being the President. That's a FACT!

Dr. Paul Alexander's avatar

thank you good morning

AwakeNotWoke's avatar

So, Margaret, you don't think that POTUS could be BOTH grossly incompetent AND grossly corrupt?

Dr. Paul Alexander's avatar

this writer clearly is against the bombing and I am not advocating this writer etc. just wanted to share for if some of this is true and he or she seems well versed in arms, this is very troubling

AwakeNotWoke's avatar

It's a brilliant piece and shows the sickening depravity of the US which predates Trump/Hegseth.

Dr Monica's avatar

True, Iranians indeed refer to US govmt as Epstein's team or pedos, and for good reason. And the US army and israhell have gravely underestimate the enemy! Iranians are extremely intelligent people! I know them well, they are also proud and beautiful!

Dr. Paul Alexander's avatar

thats the issue, not because the govn decides to bomb the govn of another nation do we then must hate the people...its like Americans, the rank and file American is among the best in the world, it is our govn level people, our elected congress and senate et al. who are among the most despicable in the world as are MPs and the like of other nations...the ruling class are the demons, not the people, same in Iran. we may be killing innocent people who are the victims also.

My dearest friend of 30+ years Grandson is in the Army National Guard. Tank Division. He was deployed to Iran a week ago.

Dr. Paul Alexander's avatar

we pray he is safe...we thank him for his service. thank you, huge love and respect.

Margaret Shattuck's avatar

I am so sorry to hear that. Trump has indeed being lying like a drunken sailor. They are definitely putting OUR boots on the ground in Iran. I pray for your friend's grandson. May God protect him.

Gerald Williams's avatar

Regarding POTUS, he should be more careful with his words. That is one of his flaws.

It would be OK if he said that he would like to have a say or give his blessing to whomever eventually takes leadership of Iran.

He should not say that he will pick out the new leader.

I'm sure he will correct his wording later on, but Dems (who continue to give comfort to the enemy) will use his words against him.

In the meantime, we are seeing the greatest military victory in history, progress towards the ending. And the capture of Maduro was the greatest military operation of all time.

The people of Israel have been dealing with fear since the 1967 Seven Day war.

I swear that most older Americans are more afraid of getting milk, etc. at their neighborhood grocery, ahead of 3 inches of snow, than Israelis are this past week, with missiles heading in their direction. They have at most a 10 minute warning to get into the nearest bomb shelter.

And a little story that came out yesterday, how Israel was able to keep the Iranian leadership off guard Saturday morning. The military people left to go home last Friday after work, ahead of the Sabbath. Iran figured nothing would happen over the weekend, so they thought it was a good time to have a meeting.

But the Israeli military returned later after dark, in disguise. They would begin the joint attack at 9:15 AM local time (1:15 EST).

Gerald Williams's avatar

Stop it. There never was a moment that Trump was considering using troops.

Trump said again today NO BOOTS ON THE GROUND.

Sec. Hegseth had to say "nothing is ruled out" as standard practice so the enemy is at a disadvantage.

And Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon to drop on Israel, no thanks to Obama and Biden. But some of the people from this group wish they did drop a nuclear bomb on Israel.

And Trump called up Putin and told him to bud out. Putin said he would no longer help Iran.

Stop trying to spread fear. You didn't like it when Fear was being spread about SARS-CoV2 so that people would do as the government wants and also take the Jab out of fear.

And BTW, if you haven't heard yet, Dr Vinay Prasad is going to step down at FDA's CBER at the end of April.

Grok says that his 1 year sabbatical is coming up, at that was always the plan.

Prasad was the one who initially stopped review of the Moderna mRNA flu shot. The people below Prasad were the bad guys - specifically David Kaslow.

Grok says that RFK Jr. can have a big say in who Prasad's replacement will be and get Makary to go along. Congress would not be involved. And this person would have the authority to get rid of David Kaslow. This will be a huge decision for RFK Jr.

Shall I repeat it? Sure, why not!

'They' are seeking a MAJOR crisis, bigger than the COVID scamdemic, so as to tear down the present system thereby allowing 'them' to insert their new system - "The Great Reset; The New World Order".

So, can this go nuclear? You bet it can!! They have their fortified bunkers with five years of fuel and supplies - we do not. If it does happen, it's because *they* have chosen to do so. Whatever works for 'them' is what they'll do. In their sick, depraved minds, it's *ALL* about them - we're expendable.

As for Trump and many others, they're just assets to be used to realize their goals.

For the US to turn 168+ prepubescent Iranian school girls into ground meat in a deliberately and intentionally targeted precision strike points to the US as a nation of Ghislaines and Jeffreys.

Killing kids gives many American men a boner and gets the women wet.

It's no surprise that pedophiles who hero worshipped Epstein enjoy sadism as well as pedophilia.

Why just be a child molester when you can also be a child killer, Americans think.

This deliberately targeted strike on the girls' school was what DEFSEC Hegseth no doubt had in mind when he talked about not being constrained by rules of engagement.

What's amusing is the classic "Iranian missile gone awry" defense—because nothing says "reliable" like a ballistic missile that miraculously decides to U-turn and obliterate its own girls' school full of kids, while the US and Israel are busy launching a massive precision campaign in the same region. Spare me.

Let's dismantle this fairy tale with a few inconvenient facts:

Iranian ballistic missiles (Shahab, Qiam, etc.) have notoriously poor accuracy outside a few hundred meters CEP at best—often 500m–1km or worse for older models. A "poorly controlled" one drifting off course might cause damage, but the Shajareh Tayyebeh school was directly hit multiple times with catastrophic precision (satellite imagery from Planet Labs/NYT shows clean, targeted detonation centroids on the school building itself, not scatter or peripheral blast). That level of accuracy screams precision-guided munitions (PGMs), not a runaway Iranian rocket. The damage pattern is inconsistent with a failed launch—those usually explode mid-air or crater widely, not demolish a specific building repeatedly with surgical hits.

The school was not struck once—multiple impacts, including direct roof penetrations and sequential strikes. Iranian missiles don't loiter and double-tap; US/Israeli PGMs do.

Israeli strikes were concentrated in western/northern Iran (missile sites, nuclear facilities); the south (Hormozgan/Minab area) was US domain, per CENTCOM statements and official briefings on targeting IRGC naval bases in the Strait of Hormuz region. Minab's IRGC naval complex was hit simultaneously—US assets were active there.

A barrier wall separated the school from the base for a decade (Google Earth/Satellite records)—if it was a "mistake," it required ignoring obvious civilian infrastructure right next door. US boasts "thread a needle from 10,000 miles"—yet we're to believe they "oopsied" into a school repeatedly? Implausible.

The weight of evidence—satellite imagery (NYT, NPR, Planet Labs), timing/location alignment with US strikes, precision pattern, multi-hit damage—points overwhelmingly to an intentional American strike. "Failed Iranian missile" is the comfort blanket for those who can't face the mirror. The US adopted the Dahiya doctrine (deliberate civilian suffering to deter)—they just swapped Beirut suburbs for Minab schoolgirls.

No Iranian missile failure does this. It's precision sadism with plausible deniability. Classic American exceptionalism. 😏

Jorge Fernandez's avatar

It has surprised me that there hasn't been more far outrage over the bombing of that girl''s school. I mean, think about it -- the deliberate targeting of a school of little girls!! All to go after family members of some of the country's leaders. DEPRAVED!!!

Even the Mafia Code forbids targeting children - that is a no-no!! But not our government - psychopaths have no boundaries, no moral constraints.

Dr Monica's avatar

As far as I know - it was the israhellis who bombed the school. They are specialized in genocide! RIP beautiful and innocent girls! My heart goes to all those families! The aggressors are and have been demonic and cruel in their wars, now and in the past. But wheel turns, we shall see their bloody DEFEAT.

michael janket's avatar

I've seen references by qualified people that the US was behind the school bombings, not Israel. The psychopath Hegseth beamed with satisfaction when confronted with questions about the incident. "No, we didn't do it, wink, wink".

Dr Monica's avatar

Possible, and then very sad,... despicable disgusting people.... I mean monsters.

AwakeNotWoke's avatar

Somehow Rumsfeld no longer looks so bad.

Margaret Shattuck's avatar

Yep. Trump and many others are "assets". They are either compromised, or stupid enough to allow themselves to be used.

Jorge Fernandez's avatar

Not "stupid enough". They **willingly** participate for the power, fame and wealth.

Liberty Liz's avatar

So now we're pretending "Iran is gonna drop a nuke"? The only psychopaths who would drop a nuke would be !srael. Let the false flags begin. !srael's freaking out now that they started a war; and now TelAviv is feeling the repercussions - getting b0mbed. Perhaps you should take some time to follow some of the military strategists who warned REPEATEDLY what would happen if !srael opened this can of worms that they now can't handle. Trump better do some fast backtracking and figure out a way to get his dumb a$$ out of what !srael (with the help of Trump) got us into before this gets catastrophic. He's gotten so good at BS and lying, he could say they achieved their objective --- got rid of the Ayattolah, and get his dumb a$$ out. And while he's at it, this idiot better do some deep cleaning of the a$$holes who are advising him and clean up his administration AND the IDF-run Pentagon pigs. Unless, of course, you want to consider that Trump's on board with taking down the US, intentionally, with a world war to please B00mB00mBibi, the billionaire class and his donors... golden calf and all that.

You forgot Trump's conversion to Chabad about 6 years ago. What does that entail? Is Trump a turncoat? Israel first, what is more sickening?

Margaret Shattuck's avatar

Trump has NOT converted to Chabad. You clearly know nothing about Chabad. It's a shame that so many get so easily sucked into propaganda like that.

Margaret Shattuck's avatar

Trump is not marrano. Do you even know what that means? His father is from Germany, and his mother is from Scotland. Not even remotely marrano.

michael janket's avatar

one cannot be marrano if from Germany or Scotland? you're on a hot streak, tell me more.

Margaret Shattuck's avatar

No, they can't. The "marranos" are the people (Jews) from Spain, who were forced to convert to Christianity under threat of death during the Spanish Inquisition. Over the generations, many lost track of who they were, but many are now finding out their ancestry. It's well documented. Look it up.

Dr Monica's avatar

well said! Kudos.

Aesir Forseti's avatar

The whole thing is shaping up like narratives-past. And still we fall for the game. Promises of no-more-endless-wars fall hopelessly short at an instant’s notice, while ‘boots-on-the-ground’ seem ‘unlikely’, yet ever-more likely. Are we not stuck in the same revolving dream/nightmare, fashioned around a different voice, a different leader, a different set of promises, yet always leading down the road most traveled? Make no mistake; some - maybe few - are laughing at how the ‘useless eaters’ maintain hope within the same dystopian stage-show, which never fails to deliver.

Dr. Paul Alexander's avatar

I think the western media is censoring us, or is not reporting truthfully. I fear this.

Dr. Paul Alexander's avatar

I pray thats only talk and that this ends now...it is getting out of hand. I pray no loss of life in Israel, our troops, Iran, no where, that this ends and a proper solution is found, where Iranian people find a great future.

Dr. Paul Alexander's avatar

we are in a very difficult weird spot. today. USA. this the greatest nation and peoples. being worn down.

michael janket's avatar

Prove that the US is the greatest nation and has the greatest people. Prove it, bet you can't.

Dr. Paul Alexander's avatar

The Army in recent days abruptly canceled a major training exercise for the headquarters element of an elite paratrooper unit, officials said, fueling speculation within the Defense Department that soldiers specializing in ground combat and a range of other missions may be sent to the Middle East as the conflict with Iran widens.

Lee Gasper-Galvin's avatar

I'm sure the global elites are very happy right now--the prospect of WWIII, complete with nuclear weapons--they can finish the depopulation they started with the COVID bioweapon shots; I agree with Dr. Alexander that we have eliminated Iran's evil leaders, and now it's time to bring our troops home, especially to protect American citizens from the Krystal Nacht they surely have planned for us

michael janket's avatar

Trump is not an evil leader? Or, is he just a garden variety jackass?

Dr Monica's avatar

We should pray that the TRUTH and JUSTICE prevail, and that means Iran prevails! as they should, they only defended themselves. If Iran does not win and survive, other big players like Russia and China, even Turkey will enter and then we are all doomed. economically, military, etc. USA has already lost this war- from the first day, let's just SAVE lives and resources and avoid becoming too vulnerable.. Nobody wants millions of refugees from Iran flooding Turkey or other countries. Luckily Russia and China are wiser than US, and they want stability and economic continuity.

If Iran had nukes the Ayatollah would still be around.

very interesting take.

Dr. Paul Alexander's avatar

you mean fear would have prevented others from going at him...?

AwakeNotWoke's avatar

Powerslave is rarely correct about anything but he/she/it, whatever Powerslave's pronouns are, is right about this. The US only went after Saddam because it knew 100% that he had no WMDs. The US is too gutless to try to disarm Pakistan or Kim Jong Un.

Gaddafi is dead because he had no nukes.

If this was really about "freeing the Iranian people" or just "regime change", don't you think that America or Israel would've dropped shipped rifles to the 90 million or so Iranian people at least? 🤔 To me, that's the tell, that this war is not about that.

Can you imagine by analogy our Civil War being fought without weapons available to execute that war? It's the same thing by analogy, and honestly if it wasn't so tragic, it would be laughable.

So not to be coy, I'm throwing it out there, what do you think this Iranian war is all about? 🤔 Stopping nuclear proliferation? Making Israel a greater regional power? Preventing Netanyahu from being put on Trial in Israel for corruption? A distraction from Epstein Island?

What say you?
