[Trump on whether Americans should fear Iran reprisals in US: 'I guess']

Trump on whether Americans should fear Iran reprisals in US: 'I guess'

As per this article:

"President Trump responded to rising fears of retaliation from Iran on the U.S. military, as the conflict ramps up in the Middle East.

When asked during a phone call with Time magazine's Eric Cortellessa on Wednesday about whether Americans should be concerned about a potential strike on the homeland, Trump said, "I guess."

"But I think they're worried about that all the time," he continued. "We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.""

I guess that was supposed to be reassuring.

And, that's why he's the POSOTUS.

[adynaton]

I learned a new word today:

adynaton is a figure of speech, and a rhetorical device, in the form of hyperbole taken to such extreme lengths as to insinuate a complete impossibility.

I was curious about what form of speech the phrase "When pigs fly ..." is called, and the word popped up. Now, my self imposed challenge is to invent a new, catchy phrase for my personal use that simply oozes the very essence of 'adynaton.'

I've not yet come up with the perfect, catchy phrase that oozes the essence of 'adynaton.' So, I think I'm going to need more than just one new adynaton.

Now, this one is far from perfect, but variations of it should amuse me on the occasions when it's an appropriate reply:
   

"Just like when the South started the Civil War to end slavery."

This adynaton isn't perfect either. But, it should prove useful when discussing 'Merican politics:

   

"When rednecks vote for Democrats again."

[Trump fires Homeland Security Secretary Noem after mounting criticism over her leadership]

This took long enough:

Trump fires Homeland Security Secretary Noem after mounting criticism over her leadership

But, as per this article:

"Trump said Noem "has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!)." He said he was making her a "Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas," a new security initiative that he said would focus on the Western Hemisphere."

So, it looks like she hasn't been totally flushed, and will still be on the Turd Reich's payroll. And, I can't help but wonder if Corey Lewandowski will be working for her as a top aide and "special government employee" again.

[Hegseth criticizes media for making US deaths in Iran war front-page news]

Sieg Heil Hegseth knows what's important to the Turd Reich:

Hegseth criticizes media for making US deaths in Iran war front-page news

As per this article:

"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday bashed media outlets for highlighting the deaths of six U.S. service members killed in an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait as part of Washington's war with Tehran.

Speaking to reporters alongside Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dan Cain, Hegseth accused the press of trying to "make the president look bad" (Emphasis mine) in calling attention to the attack that targeted a reported triple-wide trailer used as office space by the U.S. military."

After all, the Turd Reich can't have the MSM focusing on the deaths of six U.S. service members at a time when the draft dodging POSOTUS has barely started a new war in the Middle East, and has a ballroom to build that requires his personal attention. Priorities. Priorities. Priorities.

[Trump threatens to cut off trade with Spain after it disallowed US use of joint bases in Iran war]

Trump threatens to cut off trade with Spain after it disallowed US use of joint bases in Iran war

As per this article:

"Trump said despite Spain's refusal "we could use their base if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody's going to tell us not to use it, but we don't have to."

It is unclear how Trump would cut off trade with Spain, given that Spain is under the umbrella of the European Union. The EU negotiates trade deals on behalf of all 27 member countries."
 
You can't make this stuff up.

[Trump seems too comfortable with US deaths in his futile Iran war | Opinion]

USA TODAY did place a disclaimer above this opinion article. Still, this the strongest opinion I've seen published by a MSM outlet against the POSOTUS that I can remember:

Trump seems too comfortable with US deaths in his futile Iran war | Opinion

"Trump was so flippant about this attack that he oversaw its launch from his Mar-a-Lago golf resort in Florida, apparently deeming his presence in Washington, DC, unnecessary."

As per this article:

"President Donald Trump has dragged America into a war of his choosing, attacking Iran with little public support, zero congressional approval and virtually no public justification. The path forward is unclear, and our self-absorbed leader is already speaking about the loss of American lives with the nonchalance one expects from a small man never held accountable for the consequences of his actions.

Announcing the deaths of four U.S. service members following the attack launched Feb. 28, Trump said in a video posted to social media: "And sadly, there will likely be more before it ends, that's the way it is. Likely be more."

The ease with which that man dismissed present and future casualties was sickening. "That's the way it is," he said. He might as well have added a "Ho-hum," such is his apparent concern for the women and men he has now put in danger for ... what?"

There really is no bottom to how low the POSOTUS and his Republicult™ will go. But, I find this pushback from a MSM outlet to be encouraging.

[March 2, 1785 - The Electorate of Bavaria Banned Secret Societies]

March 2, 1785 - The Electorate of Bavaria Banned Secret Societies

It was then that The Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria (A.I.S.B.), the World's Oldest and Most Successful Conspiracy, went underground, and became even more powerful.

It has been theorized that The Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria (A.I.S.B.) themselves utilized their considerable influence to actualize the banning of all secret societies. Thus, their banning was just one more element in their ingenious, successful plot to dismantle the Holy Roman Empire.

Here's a second March 2nd historical event immortalized in our sacred Principia Discordia:

March 2, 1933 - King Kong Premiered in New York City

In 1991, no doubt because of King Kong's eulogy in our Great Book, the film was recognized as being "culturally, historically and aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress, and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.

[Trump raises prospect of 'friendly takeover' of Cuba, says Rubio in talks]

I don't know where this is going. But, it brings back memories of the Bay of Pigs Invasion, and the Cuban Missile Crisis:

Trump raises prospect of 'friendly takeover' of Cuba, says Rubio in talks

As per this article:

"Tensions with Cuba ratcheted up after Cuban forces this week killed four exiles and wounded six others who sailed into Cuban waters aboard a Florida-registered speedboat and opened fire on a Cuban patrol. Rubio denied it was a U.S. operation and said no U.S. government personnel were involved.

The incident took place as the United States has blocked virtually all oil shipments to the island, increasing pressure on the Communist government. Last month, U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, removing a key Cuban ally from power.

"Rubio has railed against the Cuban government in recent weeks, calling the status quo there unsustainable, and saying Cuba needed to change "dramatically."

Cuban exiles who are largely concentrated in Miami have long dreamed of overthrowing the Cuban government or seeing it fall and have in the past plotted against the government that was established by the late revolutionary leader Fidel Castro.

Trump mentioned the large Cuban community, saying a takeover of Cuba by the U.S. could be "something good ... very positive" for people who had been expelled from the country.

"We have people living here that want to go back to Cuba, and they're very happy with what's going on," he said."

And, I don't remember the Bay of Pigs Invasion, and the Cuban Missile Crisis as being 'friendly' historical events.

The POSOTUS has driven his crazy train off the rails.

South Korea could give 'Merica lessons in how democracy is supposed to work.

[US, Israel attack Iran live: Trump announces 'major combat operations']

Not long ago, I hesitated to start this thread. Unfortunately, its time has come.

US, Israel attack Iran live: Trump announces 'major combat operations'

Words can not describe my disgust that the POSOTUS and his Republicult™ have once again allowed a foreign war criminal to dictate America's foreign policy. Tuesday, November 3, 2026, can not get here fast enough.

The POSOTUS set a new low with his SOTU performance last night. Other than writing this, I'm at a loss for words.

[Candace Owens' Erika Kirk Documentary Sparks Backlash]

There are so many clowns in the Republicult's™ Clown Car, I've never paid any attention to this particular one:

Candace Owens' Erika Kirk Documentary Sparks Backlash

But, as per this article:

"In September, The Guardian reported Owens published podcasts titled: "Charlie Kirk Suspect Charged. Something Isn't Right...", "Who Ordered the Hit on Charlie Kirk?" and "They Are Lying About Charlie Kirk."

In this month, she also alleged that billionaire hedge-fund manager Bill Ackman—a vocal supporter of Israel—had staged an "intervention" in the Hamptons weeks prior, pressuring Kirk to "get in line" with unwavering support for Israel during which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called him.
 
She said that Kirk was offered "a ton of money" to stick to a pro-Israel stance because he had been "falling out of love with Israel" and was "on the brink of changing some of his perspectives" about the Gaza war.

Newsweek was unable to verify these allegations."

Now, this is the first I've heard of War Criminal Benjamin Netanyahu being linked to the assassination of Saint Charlie of the Mass School Shootings. And, I was first tempted to post this conspiracy down on the High Weirdness Sub-board. But, as this is coming from the MSM, I'm going to put it right here.

And here I thought the State of the Union Address was going to be my entertainment today.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, there will be no St. Tib's Day next Monday.
