Trump II entered his War of Choice on Iran based on a "feeling based on fact." When exposed to similar brilliance my physician father-in-law would say, "that may be the result of eating a bad burrito." It was a nicer way of saying don't confuse your brilliance with your excrement.
Trump II is infamous for his savage whims. Libertarian TechGods prostrate themselves before Trump II (with Anthropic being a recent exception).
Apparently our TechGods learned the fealty position from Congress. It's one with a good view of Trump II's cankles.
The public is unhappy with the economy, Trump and Congress. Voters did not elect Trump to run Venezuela, Iran, Gaza, Cuba, Greenland, Canada, Mexico or any country other than the United States.
Gasoline is up from $2.33 to $2.93 per gallon. That's a 25% increase in a few days. I'm sure more consequences are coming for Trump II's "feeling/bad burrito" that he rated a 15 on a scale of 1 to 10. It takes a lot of gas for someone to punch through the maximum number of the scale they just set. Trump II is full of it.
Time will reveal if Trump II's effort to open up Iran for the PEU (private equity underwiter)/TechGod class is successful. It is a bold, brash whim, worthy of ketamine fueled TechGod in the midst of a rager.
Trump II came to the rescue of shippers stranded by his Iranian War of Choice. He mobilized the U.S. Development Finance Corporation's (DFC's) "Political Risk and Guaranty products." Their press release states:
DFC will offer support to commercial shipping charterers, shipowners, and key maritime insurance providers to minimize market disruptions and help ensure the free flow of goods and capital.
Trump appointed Ben Black to head the DFC last May. Black is the son of Apollo Global co-founder Leon Black, a major sponsor of Jeffrey Epstein, the infamous international pedophile sex ring operator.
That's Leon Black with Donald Trump in 1996. Ben was not yet a teenager. Epstein later commissioned an artist to create a painting of Ben and his brother.
Epstein's other financial sponsor was Les Wexner of Victoria's Secret. Modeling for Victoria's Secret was a frequent lure used by Epstein and his partner Ghislane Maxwell in recruiting new girls to farm out to the rich and powerful.
Ben Black sits on the board of Dogpound, a luxury gym where Victoria's Secret models workout.
Trump II may want to purchase political risk insurance regarding his friends and their Epstein connections. He said he wants it to go away.
Loose lips sink ships and possibly presidents too. It's a very small world for the rich and powerful.
As for the commercial ship sinking, Trump II said the U.S. would escort oil tankers and giant cargo ships through the Straits of Hormuz. Calvin Froedge wrote:
The US largely abandoned this escort strategy during the Red Sea conflict. In fact, an entire coalition of US and European naval forces along with Gulf States attempted this against the Houthis. The campaign was an utter failure and the ultimate conclusion from US military leadership was that it was much better risk reward to focus on suppressing strike capability. Yet after months of airstrikes Red Sea traffic never fully returned. Attacks continued.
Trump is disconnected from reality. The political Red team needs to wake
up and realize the Digital Caligula is wearing a coat made of
cryptocurrency and his inadequate password is showing.
Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their TechGod brethren. Increasingly, more are one.
Professor Jeffrey Sachs noted the U.S. is "in the hands of a broken. corrupted, gangster-led system." Decades ago private equity underwriters (PEU) saw the benefits of moving to Washington, D.C. to influence people of power. More recently, America's TechGods did likewise.
TechGod of War Palmer Luckey landed another $4 billion for Anduril's futuristic weapons/surveillance offerings.
Gangster relations and those they deem worthy will enjoy obscene amounts of money, as they have for decades.
Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their TechGod brethren. Increasingly, more are one. It is quite a system they are creating for one another while abandoning the little people.
Iran's exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi offered the right words for Trump II and his PEU negotiators, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. Politico reported Pahlavi's pitch:
“Just by a change that we hope to bring to the table, that will be probably over a trillion dollars worth of impact and revenue to the American economy, just by Iran’s market being opened to America and how much we stand to benefit from billions of dollars willing to be invested into Iran.”
Private equity underwriters (PEU) and their new TechGod brethren want to sell their wares worldwide and it's the U.S. government's job to clear new markets, finance their sales and do it all with regulatory forbearance, tax breaks and public subsidies.
Trump II loves throwing around big investment numbers, even if they are padded like his artificially low golf scores.
Low and behold, a natural gas pipeline/LNG project I'd followed since 2019 made Trump II's White House investment list.
The LNG component of the project broke ground in Southwest Louisiana in 2022. Yes, the company and corresponding project was sold to Woodside, an Australian energy company. That deal was completed in October 2024 before Trump was reelected.
So how does Trump II get to take credit for this project? His White House team would need to explain. They are not known for telling a consistent story about anything. Regime change had already been made a clear objective by Israel, Saudi Arabia and the U.S. for the attack on Iran. That's now number four or five on the list.
Trump II and our 51st state Israel joined weapons and intelligence in order to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader. Both parties needed to collaborate for that execution to occur.
That blows a hole in Marco Rubio's latest assertion that the U.S. had to go in with Israel to protect our troops/citizens in the region. So Israel is defining our foreign policy, Mr. Secretary? Finally, an admission of what has been so obvious to so many.
It's clear Jared Kushner (Affinity Partners) and Steve Witkoff (The Witkoff Group) could score economically if Iran could be steered into Western alliances.
Politicians Red & Blue love PEU. their brash TechGod brethren and Israel. For all that expensive and expansive love (elected officials/PEUs/TechGods/Israel), the common person suffers. Balance, long absent, should be restored.
Trump II's pursuit of global assets expanded greatly this morning with the latest U.S./Israeli attack on Iran. Trump overloaded the region with military might and decided to use it in the midst of negotiating with Iran over a program he obliterated. He did virtually the same thing last June, attack mid-negotiation.
Donning a USA golf cap Trump II announced his goals for the war this morning from Mara-Lago, Florida's new Wall Street where the deals keep on coming.
Trump II posted the video on his Truth Social account. It has a George W. Bush/John McCain feel to it. Our bombing makes others free. Ask the Iraqis or the Libyans how that worked.
There is nothing on the official White House website about the attack on Iran (under "News"), so Truth Social has the exclusive video. What a media win for the possible spin-off!
Trump expects citizens sheltering in place to leave their doors, pick up the pieces and takeover the government when he is done violating their country. Just as in Venezuela, Trump II will decide who leads, not the Iranian people.
Trump II's envoys, Jared Kushner (Affinity Partners) and Steve Witkoff (The Witkoff Group) are skilled in the art of the hostile takeover as private equity underwriters (PEU). Iran has many desirable assets and western economic powers want in (PEUs and TechGods). Recall that PEUs stack the Board of Peace (Pieces of Eight) where Trump II is Chairman for Life.
The rapidly changing global political environment provides economic opportunity for the well placed.
Greed has its own siren call. Violence creates more violence. Destruction and killing are not empowerment.
Operation Epic Savage Whim is underway in conjunction with the USA's 51st state Israel.
Iranians see the taking of Gaza and the West Bank by Israel and Trump II.
Trump told Iran's military and police, total surrender or death. It had an Elon Musk "resign with pay or be DOGEd" feel to it. Which is the lesser of the two evils? Isn't that always the deal presented by Trump II, TechGods and/or PEUs to the little people?
The Iranian people will decide. Given Trump is the most aloof of our recent Presidential "regime changers" (W., Obama and now the Donarch) I'll be shocked if they erect a giant statue of Trump in the middle of Tehran. However, Jared's "New Iran" promo video may show one.
Lord, hear our prayer. Watch over and protect those in harm's way because of greedy, impulsive leaders. God bless us all. Help us Lord, survive their savage whims.
Update: Truth Social's video post is now nine hours old. Trump II also posted it on Elon Musk's X, formerly Twitter.
The White House posted the video under Live News. One has to click on Livestream and then scroll down on the Live News to find the video, which is also posted on YouTube. It was posted around the time the video hit Truth Social and X.
Trump II's plummeting poll standing is similar to Obama's where Trump offered in 2012:
As for Obama's bombing Syria, Trump once thought Congress had a vital role:
“What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a possible long term conflict? Obama needs Congressional approval,” Trump tweeted in August 2013.
Familiar story for the Reds & Blues. Our guy does it, that's OK. Your guy needs approval.
Trump II excels at diversion, cruelty, destruction and taking. A Red Team member of Congress called the attack on Iran an "act of love" on CNN. Nonsense.
Now we know why elected officials never did anything about Jeffrey Epstein's long lasting pedophile operation. Politicians can justify anything with the most bizarre statements.
The American people do not like war as much as our Presidents have over the last few decades. Trump's signature promise was to keep the U.S. out of foreign entanglements and drop the pattern of imposing regime change. That must be quite the temptation given politicians Red & Blue have repeatedly succumbed to its siren call.
Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new brash TechGod brethren. Trump is imposing their unrestrained will on the world.
Greenland, Cuba, Canada .... the list of acquisition targets is a biblical scroll.
I expect the world to spit it all back up. If it does not, the darkest days lay ahead.
The U.S./Israeli attack on Iran killed Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei (*Trump II Truth Social). He wrote:
...the Country has been, in only one day, very much destroyed and, even, obliterated. The heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will continue, uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!
So exactly when are the Iranians to come out of their homes and join with surrendered military and police forces? The heavy hand of willful destruction, uninterrupted throughout the week, is the very antithesis of peace.
Trump II wants fealty and an ever growing net worth. His PEU/TechGod sponsors want access to markets and more of Uncle Sam's wallet and government protections.
Update: Bombs killed Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei. That's one way to oust a Chief Executive.
"Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue."
Trump II does not do the latter.
Update 3-4-26: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump II went to war "on a feeling based on fact." Ah yes, the Trump savage whim. We know it all too well.
Trump II is disconnected from reality. The political Red team needs to wake up and realize the Digital Caligula is wearing a coat made of cryptocurrency and his inadequate password is showing.
The Pentagon is using AI in Trump II's War of Choice on Iran. It just switched AI providers mid-war, going from Anthropic to OpenAI.
All those libertarian TechGods who thought Biden wanted WW3 have a sock in it for Trump II, their frequent panhandler. At some point they may prefer taxes over frequent phone calls to fund pet projects, including Trump's meme-coin and other family boondoggles.
Federal funding for childcare is a separate program than Medicaid. HHS froze childcare funds for five states in January due to fraud concerns. An HHS press release from January 6, 2026 ended with:
Funds will remain frozen in this fashion until ACF completes a review and determines that states are in compliance with federal requirements.
Whoa! Whoa! What have past reviews found about state programs and their compliance with federal requirements. It's hard to know given the website is not current.
In Spring 2025 TechGod Elon Musk's DOGE decimated HHS' Office of Child Care.
Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cut the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Child Care (OCC)—the federal office that administers the CCDF program—by half this spring, including closing five of ten regional offices without any assessment of program operations or needs, an ignorant and short-sighted act. The OCC is staffed by experts in federal and state child care policy, fiscal management, child development, data analysis, and monitoring and oversight. They help support state, territory, and tribal governments in their implementation of the $12 billion federal child care program and make sure federal dollars are maximized to help meet each state’s specific child care challenges and opportunities.
Trump just threw $250 million in Medicaid funds into a freezer over childcare fraud concerns. He'd already withheld $2 billion in Medicaid funding for the state of Minnesota.
It has a private equity underwriter (PEU) feel to it given staffing has been obliterated (50% cut) and quality/compliance reviews halted (likely not funded). DOGE was the PEU playbook applied to government.
I'm sure staff in the Office of Child Care are appalled the Medicaid money has been frozen in addition to federal child care funds. People are hurting and most don't have the funds to cover interruptions in federal support for healthcare or child care.
JD Vance should know. He's a former TechGod and U.S. Senator. who once lived hand to mouth in Ohio and Kentucky.
Trump II said sometimes you have to use force. He left off the again. Trump and Israel teamed up to obliterate Iran's nuclear program in June 2025. A mere eight months later it appears Trump needs a redo.
Our international bully made a "steep list of demands" said The Independent. Negotiating that list of demands with Iran are two private equity underwriters (PEU), Jared Kushner of Affinity Partners and Steve Witkoff of The Witkoff Group.
but it was notable that the two American negotiators, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, remained silent about the current status of negotiations, with the White House declining to comment.
That pair is used to non-disclosure agreements, so secrecy is not surprise. Also, they know never to steal their boss' stage or spotlight.
Everything these guys do is economic. If you design the board it's easier to move the pieces. It also helps if you have a captive law firm like Steve Witkoff.
Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren. Increasingly, more are one. Iran is being encouraged to join our system of influence. Who better to show them that than Kushner and Witkoff?
