White House: Trump Bombed Iran Based on a ‘FEELING’
The United States is bombing Iran because Donald Trump had a “feeling.”
That’s not satire—that’s the actual justification White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt offered Wednesday when pressed on why America launched “Operation Epic Fury” against a country of 90 million people.
WHAT SHE SAID: “The president had a feeling, again, based on fact, that Iran was going to strike the United States, was going to strike our assets in the region, and he made a determination to launch Operation Epic Fury based on all of those reasons,” Leavitt told reporters.
A feeling. Based on fact. Sure.
Can you imagine the response from the Fox News crowd if a female president said she started a war based on a “feeling”?
➡️ Question of the Day
Senate GOP Kills Effort to Stop Trump’s War
Senate Republicans voted 53-47 to let Trump keep bombing Iran without congressional approval, killing a War Powers resolution that would have forced debate on a war that’s already killed six American troops and hundreds of Iranian civilians. Only one Democrat broke ranks, and you won’t be surprised at all by who it was.
House Votes to Subpoena Pam Bondi Over Epstein Files as Republicans Flip to Vote With Dems
The House Oversight Committee voted Wednesday to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi for testimony about the Justice Department’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein investigation files—with five Republicans breaking ranks to join Democrats in demanding answers. The bipartisan rebuke signals mounting GOP frustration over DOJ’s botched release of heavily redacted documents that exposed victims’ intimate details while withholding files involving Trump.
Did We Just Drop a $2M Bomb on a Painting of an Iranian Helicopter?
Iran may have trolled the U.S. and Israel into blowing $2 million Tomahawk missiles on painted decoy helicopters—complete with motionless rotor blades that don’t even flutter when hit. The IDF proudly posted video of their “precision strike” on what appears to be literal artwork on a tarmac, while thousands of Americans remain stranded across the Middle East as Trump’s escalating war kills hundreds and sends oil prices soaring.
House KILLS Effort to Release All Congressional Sexual Misconduct, Harassment Reports
The House voted 357-65 to bury a resolution that would have forced the release of all congressional sexual misconduct reports—protecting powerful lawmakers accused of predatory behavior behind institutional secrecy. Rep. Nancy Mace introduced the resolution but the Ethics Committee claimed transparency would “re-traumatize victims” (translation: we’ll protect the powerful by pretending to protect the vulnerable).
🗳️ Yesterday’s poll results

- twoasps
“Trump nor Hegseth are Christians according to what Jesus taught. They will say or do whatever is necessary to keep the power they have. Most real Christians know that. Most non Christians know that.”
- jandmfrick
“If Trump has been anointed by Jesus, I want nothing to do with this Jesus.”
- spencervilleusa
None of the people who voted YES left a comment. Go figure!

The War Profiteers: How Defense Contractors Are Cashing In While America Burns Through Weapons
The Pentagon just admitted something remarkable in a classified briefing: they might not be able to shoot down all the Iranian drones heading toward US targets.
Gen Dan Caine, chair of the joint chiefs of staff, told lawmakers on Tuesday that while they can take down “the vast majority” of Iran’s one-way attack drones, they can’t get them all.
And here’s the kicker—Iran knows exactly what it’s doing.
