Iran has destroyed a lot of important equipment and radars on US bases around the Middle East. These bases are sitting ducks, and the US was unable to defend them.

The Iran war caused the hardliners to have more power in Iran, making them less likely to negotiate and give in on any deal.

Iran, being weaker than the US, responds more violently and aggressively to deter the US and Israel, who both may be deterred while taking much less damage.

The Iran conflict, in its low-grade double blockade form, feels like an endless cycle.
Iran has been attacked by a superpower and is technically more able to develop nuclear material than they were a decade ago…they likely want a nuke for defensive purposes more than ever.

Albania removed protections from an island so Trump’s son-in-law could develop it with the goal of making tons of money. Albanians are protesting the apparent corruption.

“Ellison’s pronouncements that CBS News needs to move more to the political center has led to the perception that the network is trying to placate Trump with more positive news coverage, even as “60 Minutes” has remained tough with its White House reporting.
“60 Minutes” has been under pressure since October 2024, when Trump filed a $20-billion lawsuit against CBS over an interview conducted with then-Vice President Kamala Harris. That suit was settled to clear the regulatory path for Skydance Media’s acquisition of Paramount.
Paramount also has faced blowback over the decision by CBS to cancel its Trump-bashing late-night host Stephen Colbert ahead of the FCC approval of its merger with Skydance Media.
…
From a business standpoint, “60 Minutes” is a curious target for a revamp. The program is one of the most profitable hours on the CBS prime-time schedule while retaining its status as television’s most prestigious journalism operation.
While the ratings for “60 Minutes” get a boost from a lead-in from high-rated late-afternoon NFL games, it remains one of the few network shows that viewers make an appointment to watch. The program’s ad revenue, which research firm iSpot pegged at $67.5 million in 2025, has remained steady in recent years even as traditional TV continues to lose ground to streaming.
But Weiss believes the “60 Minutes” brand name has to do more than just draw a big audience on Sunday night, a point she stressed in her note to staff that was obtained by The Times.”

The Trump administration is using dishonest legal tactics to get away with their crusade to gather the medical records of transgender children.
A biased judge defying the law out of ideology or/and partisan bias, is helping the Trump administration and weakening America’s rule of law.

Texas put a lot of police in schools to combat mass shootings. As a result, police are enforcing routine student discipline, sometimes violently.
Trump is using the power of the government to attack the person who successfully sued Trump for sexually abusing her.
Scores of people were fired for making critical comments of Charlike Kirk or celebrating his murder. Conservatives said they wanted radical free-speech, and yet they hardly speak out about this like they did about rude protests on college campuses during speeches. The disingenuousness and hypocrisy is amazing.
One woman was fired for making a private Facebook post that said, “If you think Charlie Kirk was a wonderful person, we can’t be friends”. I’m not a fan of that kind of attitude. But, it isn’t a reason to fire someone from their job. She was fired because people complained and demanded she be let go…her employer gave in to an anti-free speech mob. I thought only the woke left did this…

A great strategic advantage that the US has traditionally had over China is that the US had many allies and partners. Recently, the US has been undermining this great strategic advantage.
