“…Under conditions of mass popular opposition to the war, which is being used by the Trump administration as a pretext to cut food stamps and other social services, the position of the Democratic Party is not ‘Stop the war’, but ‘Win the war!'”
–Andre Damon reporting at the WSWS, 07.22.2026

Here, Gomer, let a pro show you how we did it in Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza and Ukraine. We’ve been a war party since the Lord was a corporal.

(Full title: “Proposed Iran War Memorial Wall With Off-Ramp Bouquet”)

There’s something stiffening out there right now, but it sure as hell isn’t Pete’s “resolve”, if you know what I’m sayin’.

Along with this particular concept, I’m thinking of something a bit broader in scope, perhaps with the Wall as the centerpiece of a Donald J. Trump Iran War Memorial Park, with the Wall as a centerpiece overlooking a large Reflecting Pool in the shape of the Strait Of Hormuz and, in the Pool – in the spirit of JFK’s Eternal Flame – an Eternal Algae Bloom in loving memory of the 18 (at the moment) brave troops who laid down their lives for Democracy™ or affordability or some shit.

Then, maybe, on the other side of the Reflecting Pool, a small marble amphitheater with a UFC cage for celebratory matches on Veterans’ Day, Fourth Of July, Memorial Day…?

I didn’t even bother to contain my glee as I read the news of US and Israeli stocks of missiles and drones dwindling to rock-bottom levels as the US and Israel pissed it away on decoys, empty buildings and other bum targets in Iran this past March and April.

Still, I didn’t think the US had lost quite that much. I was genuinely surprised – and delighted – to see the front page of the Washington Times the other day. One third gone, no active production lines running, no organized plans to fund more production… oh, holy shit, I can’t pretend I’m not enjoying this. I’m no expert on logistics, engineering, supply chains or any of that other cool shit, but I still feel pretty sure that the next run of Reaper drones will involve rubber bands and balsa.

I hear the UFC matches were pretty good, though.

“…Even in his brief remarks to reporters Tuesday, Trump made clear that his sole concern in terms of the economy is the financial markets. ‘The most important thing by far — including whether our stock market, which, by the way, is at an all-time high — but including whether our stock market goes up or down a little bit, the most important thing by far is Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,’ he said, adding, ‘Every American understands’…”

Oh, they understand, alright, ya’ goddamn loser.
They understand that it’s Luigi Time.
