MSN: Trump administration estimates Iran war cost at over $11 billion in six days, source says.
AP/Reuters: Pentagon says first week of Iran war cost the US $11.3 billion.
As a rule of thumb, when I hear the government (fed, state, local) giving us a cost estimate; I immediately double the amount. A bit later I triple it.
"PRINT THAT FIAT!"
"Don't forget the usury!"
Someone/Some groups made a lot of money on those wars. A wild guess tells me it wasn't the majority of taxpayers.

Lindsey Graham has described the ongoing conflict in the Middle East as “a good investment”
To quote Sporanos' character Paulie Walnuts regarding Graham, "[he's] a wormy co᧑ksucker."
Of course if you're rah-rah bomb Iran pom-pom girls, when not long ago Graham was on your sh/t list because of his commitment for "everything for Ukraine/Zelensky", it's amusing to see you pivot so damned fast. TF is wrong with you?

KNEWZ: Trump pardons congressman's meth-dealing son.
"I thought Trump was against drug use, you know, since that was his excuse for Venezuela," someone else wrote on the newspaper's post.
Another commenter noted that the senior Womack may no longer be a free man himself, saying, "Well, Womack's an owned man now."

Breitbart: RINO Romney Calls for Tax Hikes, Raising Retirement Age.
Yes, we are living longer. Life expectancy has increased six years since 1980, but that doesn’t mean that those six additional years add up to prime working years. It’s not like your physical clock rewinds and now a 65-year-old is as spry as a 59-year-old. For many, those additional six years are linger years, six more years of being really old, frail, and sickly. For many, 70 is not the new 60. Rather, 70 is still 70, but instead of dying at 79, you die at 85.
So is it really fair to increase the retirement age? We live 12 years longer today than we did in 1950 when the average retirement age was 66. Should the retirement age reflect that? Should we be required to work until we’re 78 years old?
I don’t think so.
Mittens...just another AIPAC tool.

NBC News: Rob Reiner's son Nick arrested and booked on suspicion of murder in parents' deaths.
I never cared for Reiner's self-righteous, loud, obnoxious, divisive, one-sided political raging at all. Not. One. Bit. And I've posted on it, belittled him and mocked him.
But for Fat Orange to say, "Rob Reiner died from severe TDS," is beneath the underbelly of contempt.
Mister "NO NEW WARS" has us poised for battle against Iran, Venezuela; add now Syria AND potentially Columbia, all on the behalf of his Puppet Master Netanyahu and Israel.
In addition to this behavior, I ask you, WHEN has a U.S. President attacked members of their OWN PARTY the way Fat Orange went after MTG and Thomas Massie? NEVER! When has a president campaigned against their own party with such venom and animosity as Trump's treatment AGAINST MTG and Massie? Again, NEVER.
No diss to my Blogroll and Links, (and those who link here), I know some remain MAGA-loyalists. I get it, I do.
All I ask is this: That you remember that I would apply the SAME STANDARD to Biden, Obama, W Bush, Clinton, etc and anyone else in politics or the public eye. I shouldn't have to say it as often as it seems I do: I equally apply everyone to the same standard.
I've already decided I'm not voting next year, but I wouldn't at all mind seeing Dems overwhelmingly win back both House and Senate and ride Fat Orange like the 2 shekel whore that he is.
I'm not the only one disappointed by Fat Orange and his RINO cucks.

RT: Ukraine ‘losing the war’ – US Senate leader.
Ukraine is failing on the battlefield because of a lack of American funding, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Monday. He demanded the House Republicans pass the $61 billion aid bill as soon as possible.
[.]
“Let’s be blunt: the biggest reason Ukraine is losing the war is because the hard-right in the Congress has paralyzed the US from acting. That’s it, that’s the reason,” Schumer said.
