“…one can’t help but detect a whiff of Trump reminding his new special government employee [Musk] exactly who the boss is.“
There is that, for sure, but making Elon an “official” government employee is also a form of protection for him and his department both from personal attacks against him, his group and even his family, as well as from lawsuits and legal wranglings, frivolous as they may be.
I see Trump and BiBi’s pronounced stance on Iran as multi-faceted, speaking to a number of factors and groups at the same time:
1. To the Sabre-rattling neocons, chill - we are not going to willy-nilly “attack” Iran just cuz we can.
2. To the Iranian people: patience, we’ve got your back.
3. To the Iranians, “we know, and you know we know, what you’re up to. FAFO. Best not test us.
They’ve in effect, put Iran on notice. There will be crushing sanctions on the country, and no realistic future for their government as currently constituted.
How do we know Iran doesn’t already have nukes? Why should I believe Israeli or US intel who say they don’t? There is great advantage to our Military Industrial Complex to keep us on fearful edge (now for decades) that Iran is ‘this close’ to achieving the bomb. Iran has been ‘this close’ my entire adult life and I’m now in 5th decade. Something smells really bad.
Senate Establishment D’s and R’s oppose Tulsi nomination so hard because they and their fellow war hawks don’t want any voice in Trump’s ear telling him a shooting war with Iran is a bad idea.
This is why Gabbard’s nomination is the single most important one. DJT is going to have to fight for her. Also, R Senators who oppose Tulsi need to be primaried with all the might of MAGA.
Colorado D Senator Michael Bennet is a disgusting, deep state lizard. What a disgrace he is to the Centennial State.
As Ozzy tells us:
“Generals gathered in their masses. Just like witches at black masses”
The most maddening thing about California is that there are a plethora of things that can be done to resolve their constant and mostly self-inflicted water shortage issues, and fire dangers, most of them incredibly elementary and just plain common sense.
The REAL problem there is their government, overwhelmingly Democrat, who seem to have been on a suicide mission for decades.
OK, it’ll never happen - probably can never happen under US Law - but the mere thought of the likes of a John Brennan, Mayorkas, or even Obama, being sent to a prison in El Salvador is a delightfully enjoyable thought.
They’re probably checking with their lawyers as we speak - just in case.
While I may not be crazy about Trump’s proposed plan to “run” Gaza, in the short term, meaning at least during the Remigration of Palestinians and the reconstruction period, having the US “in charge” to a certain extent offers somewhat of a protection to Israel from the usual suspects who will undoubtedly wail and gnash teeth over the concept, and its undertaking.
I could even see down the line, (and most probably already included in the plan but not openly advertised), a future “treaty” of sorts between Israel and the US, where that land is gifted back to them in total, and officially restored as part of the greater State of Israel.
Trump and Bibi looked like they were on the same page on all issues .What a breath of fresh air from Obama Biden and Blinken!

But, we are talking about Iran here, so
Stay tuned.
Trump also said "obliterate" a few times.

We'll see how long Tish can resist the hospitals whose funds are cut off when they continue child mutilation when they demand she back off.
