Iran’s Nuclear Program and the Lies that Surround It
In the last two days, I’ve met two people from Portland, Oregon, both of whom I told the same story about my reaction to the Trump administration’s claim that they brought in federal troops into the city to stop the “rioting” and “domestic terrorism” of the “No Kings” protestors.
As I put it:
Bullshit. If I had to name the most peace-loving city in the United States, it would be Portland.
Not one but both of them squealed with delight. They both pointed out that many of the protestors were dressed as frogs, in the way of pure whimsy that dominates the state’s largest and most highly educated city.
In the case of the fellow at left, yes it’s true that, sadly, there are tens of millions of Americans who don’t have the intelligence to know that a) Iran’s nuclear program had been shut down in the Obama administration, with every major nation of Earth and its nuclear physicists signing off on the landmark agreement, and b) that (even if that weren’t the case) it had been “obliterated” by Trump far more recently.
This guy’s career is built around lying to idiots. I don’t envy him.
Wind contributes about 12% of the U.S. grid mix, though it’s over 70% in some of the plains states.
The shot at left was taken in 2006, during another war in the Middle East.
Very few people object to Donald Trump on the basis that he’s a capitalist. All 340 million of us live in a capitalist country, one that has managed to get along the last 250 years.
Question: Why is Venus, though farther from the sun than Mercury, much hotter?

My Republican mother used to ask me about Greta Thunberg, “Since when has a 15-year-old girl become an expert on climate science?”
We don’t need opinion polls regarding matters of fact.
Americans–even the greedy pigs and the hateful idiots–are turning against Trump.
It’s heartening to know that the illegal and purposeless war in Iran is deeply unpopular with Trump’s base.
