Day: March 12, 2026

In any other timeline except the one we’re in, a scandal this large would consume an entire administration. But we don’t live in that timeline. At a time when food benefits are stripped from the poor, where insurance continues to skyrocket while not actually paying for healthcare, and while billions is spent to deport immigrants while doing nothing to those that hire them, 93 billion (with a B) was spent in one month, September of 2025. The most wasteful organization on the planet gets blank checks year after year after year, to the point where they have to spend it on anything and everything they can just so they can spend it all, with no oversight and no auditing or accountability. The US spends nearly 1 trillion a year now on the “defense” of America, while not having been directly attacked since 1941. And when the government wants to save a few million dollars, they don’t even begin to look at the unlimited money the military industrial complex receives.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — America will only continue to decline as long as they refuse to believe there are things more important than money. And the longer this Iran war goes on, the more the US and the world will see the consequences of that belief. And the more isolated the US will become as the rest of the world will be brought down with the US. The resentment will grow, and the hegemony America has held will continue to erode. And honestly, Americans need to feel the pain for a long time before they take their governments back from the Nazis and fascists and wild-eyed religionists and zionists.

I don’t have a lot of optimism for the long-term prospects for America though, as both Russia and China both work to undermine the US by sending intelligence and weapons to Iran. And the politicians will continue to fund these unnecessary wars, while life within the US for the citizens continues to decline. How long that can go on, no one really knows. And if the Republicans/MAGA are able to fuck with elections enough to continue to win despite their extreme unpopularity, the end may be abrupt and dramatic, as they have ejected most of the educated people from the party if the facts they find don’t fit their ideology.

And it’s starting to look like the apparent reason for the war, regime change in Iran, should actually be occurring in the countries who have started the war. But with that regime change must come fundamental change of focus and goals within them, and those who have lived off the spoils for so long will do anything to stop it from happening.

That is a direct quote from the third in line to the US presidency. So at this point, their justification for a war against Iran is that they worship the wrong God, that is to say, it is a holy war against Islam. But there’s nuance in how he said it. He said that they “want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth and they’d like to take us out as well.” So to me this is saying that USA is only a secondary target while Israel is a primary target. Other regime lackeys, like Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth as mentioned in the article, have echoed those comments, often while hypocritically promoting Christian Nationalism themselves.

I have never heard a justification for a war like this in my life. It’s always couched in terms that threaten our safety, but never in terms of it being in any way influenced by what religion they practice, which honestly would be kinda weird since our country was founded on freedom of religion.

But I don’t believe anything this regime says, the truth is always by reading between the lines. To me, the real reason is simpler: distract from the illegal non-release, partial release, and redacted release of the Epstein files, a law that has been passed but still hasn’t been carried out. The heat had been on, and as Trump himself said in the past, in my opinion he started the war to distract from him being one of the ringleaders of the largest sex trafficking, child molestation, and child rape rings ever discovered in America. And right before the “war” and kidnapping of the leader of Venezuela and the current war in Iran, the heat had been rising on his involvement.

And he’ll do absolutely anything to distract from that.

This article is the perfect encapsulation of the corrupt bargain at the heart of the right wing politicians and the so-called Christians in America: they point fingers at others for their supposed moral failings, but do not hold their own accountable. When asked, “At any time during you[r] tenure as director of the Department of Homeland Security, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski?” her answer was “Mr Chairman I am shocked we are going down and peddling tabloid garbage today at this committee.”

Perhaps its the idea that “their own” deserve forgiveness, while others do not, but it’s not even that–members of their own faith, if not part of the Republican/MAGA regime, will face the same fire. So it becomes clearer and clearer that modern evangelical Christianity is no longer a religion, other than their fanatical, anti-intellectual bent, but a political ideology in the trappings of a religion, one of the most dangerous combinations that can be imagined. That means that there are no consequences for bad actions by politicians, because they are all waved away, like this obvious adultery, because it’s not the action that matters, but what ideology they ascribe to. And that means that any action is ignorable or forgivable, even child rape. And the politicians know this, because they know they will never be voted out no matter what they do, and so they have no reason to be better.
