"Earlier, over on Capitol Hill, there was a rally and march to support the fall of the Islamic Republic organized by the Organization of Iranian American Communities." The Islamic Republic has not fallen! I wish these people would live in the real world.
So Trump wanted to get a more compliant leader into power in Iran to avoid nuclear weapons being built.
So he kills the guy who was actually against nuclear armaments because they declared a fatwa on them. Kills his wife and other family members and now his son is in charge who is a hardliner that wants to build nuclear weapons AND now will want to avenge his family.
Hey I was at one you missed Dom! A couple of dozen of us showed up at DC Superior Court to support Brian McGinnis the marine vet and NC Green Party candidate who had his arm snapped by Montanaโs grossest Senator and a squad of Capitol Police. He needed surgery and was given a pre-trial release. Unusual to get a weekend hearing but as the DC jail wouldnโt be dispensing pain meds saner and more humane heads prevailed and moved him up the court docket.
He is still facing three counts of assault on a police officer, because of course, he might have bled on them. The judge didnโt seem overly concerned about letting this dangerous one-armed lunatic back on the streets. But he did tell Mr. McGinnis to stay away from the Capitol and provided him with a helpful map to show him which streets that entailed.
Presumably he had time to attend one or more of the events Dominic reported on.
The Homunculus says that he'll talk to Iran's leader if said leader wants to talk, while Israel says they'll target and kill anyone who gets set up as Iran's leader.
"Well, maybe he'll die, maybe not, I guess we'll see. What I do know is that we need a deal. We'll be taking their oil, and we'll be doing that very strongly."
A 35-year-old Florida woman armed with an AR-15 style weapon fired several shots into the Beverly Hills-area home of pop star Rihanna on Sunday, and a round penetrated a wall of the mansion, a law enforcement source told The Times.
Police identified the suspect as Ivanna Ortiz. She is being held on $10.2 million bail. Officials have not cited a motive for the attack.
Los Angeles police responded to the report of the shooting at 1:21 p.m. Sunday in the Beverly Hills Post Office neighborhood.
The pop star was home, the source said.
According to police, the suspect fired multiple rounds from inside her vehicle toward the celebrityโs home. No injuries were reported in the incident, according to Police Sgt. Jonathan de Vera, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department.
The LAPD radio dispatch for the incident said that at least 10 shots had been fired at the residence from a vehicle across the street from the propertyโs gate. The vehicle, a white Tesla, then fled south on Coldwater Canyon Drive, per the dispatch audio.
As police searched for the Tesla, they relayed details over the radio: The suspectโs hair was in braids; she wore a cream-colored blouse; her car was dirty on the bottom. Officers in a helicopter soon caught sight of her vehicle and followed it to a shopping center parking lot in Sherman Oaks, where they arrested her around 30 minutes after the 911 call came in, according to radio correspondence reviewed by The Times.
โWhen they pulled the suspect over and took her into custody, they searched the vehicle and located an assault rifle and seven casings,โ said Armen Arias, an LAPD spokesperson.
Police found bullet holes in a gate at Rihannaโs home and in an RV parked in the driveway, he said.
Motive doesn't matter. Access to big guns matters. No assault rifles, less danger to us all, regardless of the motivations of violent and stupid people.
I remember back in the day when someone blew up my mailbox with pipe bombs (twice) the cops basically said, "Kids! What you gonna do?" I think it's because I'm common folk like everyone else.

Whatever happened to the Popular Mojahedin Organization of Iran?
Splitter!
Ta, Dom. Great photos, as always, and quite the story to go with.
Too much social media, so many paragraphs I wanted to "like"
The tools of national power are DIME - Diplomatic, Informational, Military and Economic. To Grampa Assmouth they are MMMmmmmmmmmโฆโฆ

Strong work guys. No notes.
Reza Pahlavi needs to get a real job. With a little job training, he could manage flipping burgers at some McDonalds.
Hey Dom, thanks for providing a nuanced report on the goings-on over the weekend. Appreciate you. Stay safe!

PSA from Olde Farte.
Donut store gas. Not in any container. Ever.
Yes, I know Everybody and their Dog sells gas containers, but that is only for lawnmowers and
industrial equipment like generators that you do not have. Handled by trained professionals.
I only know this because I survived the last gas crisis in the '70s in spite of myself. Really.
I had to read this several times to figure out which Donut shops sell gas.
All I could figure was
Donut store gas =the Convenience store gummies
Dunkin's has Chevron...I think...๐ค
If youโre waving a flag with turnip and bibi on it while fire burns buildings in the backround, youโre probably on the wrong side.
>>the subsequent power vacuum that allowed far-right religious fundamentalists to seize power<<
If I didn't know this was in reference to Iran, I'd swear you were talking about what's going on right here at home, Dom.
HMMMMMMMMMM
Okay.
The Homunculus says that he'll talk to Iran's leader if said leader wants to talk, while Israel says they'll target and kill anyone who gets set up as Iran's leader.
I think they're missing something here.
"Just text me your location and I'll call you"
Good cop, bad cop.
So TACO will tell Iran's new leader to "move along" while Bibi tells him "don't move!"
Just like how ICE brownshirts give conflicting orders right before they fire.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
This isn't getting enough attention
I don't think there will be Love Letters.
Hey if you can't trust your butt fukin' 'friend', who can you trust ?
I've been told one should never enter into business adventures with a partner and discovered it's true.
A clear and shared objective, of course...
"Well, maybe he'll die, maybe not, I guess we'll see. What I do know is that we need a deal. We'll be taking their oil, and we'll be doing that very strongly."
Jesus, be careful! Your brain might stick like that!
Bit of a Catch-22 there.
That some catch, that Catch 22
The best there is.
I've been waiting for that!
Brain cells and common sense
there's one thing that's black and white, if you vote gop you are a na&i and a KKK, whether you like it or not. no ambiguity there.
Agreed. There is no such thing as being "Nazi adjacent".
Like it's been said, if you sit down to eat at table with 9 Nazis, you are now at a table with 10 Nazis.
NYT: "U.S. Gasoline Prices, Rising Again, Are Now Up 17% Since Conflict Started"
Boston Globe: "Home heating oil prices have spiked by one-third. It could get worse."
.
So much winning . . . and we aren't even talking about the TACO TARIFFS
[Epstein files - still millions of documents which have not been released, in violation of law]
I'm glad our heating oil people came by and did an end-of-season topoff about 10 days ago.
I canceled our topoff
Holy fuck. Last week I checked my oil dealer's price, $4.29/gal, up from $3.69 last month. I just checked it now, $4.99/gal.
The gas at my local Costco went up 44 cents a gallon in one week.
OT Florida Woman in Tesla story:

Does Beyoncรฉ have an alibi?
That's ... so unfunny - especially given who the perp is - that I'm too tired to explain it
The casual racism on the mommyblog sometimes
No racism - they had a musical rivalry.
Youโre talking to someone who worked in the industry and is still industry-adjacent.
And you donโt get to gaslight someone whoโs a regular target of racism that they donโt see what theyโre seeing.
Stop deflecting.
These celebrity beefs are getting out of hand.
I remember back in the day when someone blew up my mailbox with pipe bombs (twice) the cops basically said, "Kids! What you gonna do?" I think it's because I'm common folk like everyone else.
FLORIDA WOMAN!
Stay away from me-hee...
LOL
โOfficials have not cited a motive for the attack.โ Florida woman
MAGA Karen.
