Wary about being just feet away from her rapist for the first time , as the court case opened, E. Jean Carroll said that Trump was:
" NOTHING " .
An Emperor without his clothes.
A brave lady who has received a pinch of justice from the system. Good for her!

E. Jean Carroll on what she wants to do with the $83.3 million:
“I’d like to give the money to something Donald Trump hates. That will cause him pain for something, to give money to certain things. Perhaps a fund for the women who have been sexually assaulted by Donald Trump.”

She's an enemy of Trump and the Trump Cult now. No mystery who is responsible. usatoday.com/story/news/poli…

This is the lesson of the Cold War, of deterrence, that has been forgotten. You stand up immediately against small threats so you don't have to fight bigger ones later, waiting for escalation on the enemy's terms that always comes.
The U.S. has largely tolerated Iranian proxy drone and rocket attacks on American bases because they hadn't killed anyone. Now that has changed:

You go Indian navy ! 👏
Swift response by #IndianNavy's Mission Deployed warship ensures safe release of hijacked vessel & crew.
#INSSumitra, on #AntiPiracy ops along East coast of #Somalia & #GulfofAden, responded to a distress message regarding hijacking of an Iranian flagged Fishing Vessel (FV) Iman. The FV had been boarded by pirates & the crew taken as hostages.
#Sumitra intercepted the vessel, acted in accordance with the established SOPs to coerce the pirates for safe release of crew along with the boat & ensured successful release of all 17 crew members along with the boat.
The FV was subsequently sanitised and released for onward transit.
Mission deployed Indian Naval ships on #antipiracy & #maritimesecurity ops in the #IndianOceanRegion symbolise Indian Navy’s resolve towards safety of all vessels and seafarers at sea.
Ehh , a little progress !

The One-Way “Suicide” Drone launched by Iranian-Backed Forces in Syria which Impacted the Tower 22 Patrol and Operations Base in Northeastern Jordan last night, is reported to have Struck a Tent being used as a Temporary Living Quarters by Soldiers with the U.S. Army at the Base, with this being the Primary Reason for the Significant number of Injuries.
Sure Iran knows nothing about it and Houthi tribesman had the intelligence to do it alone.
Iran has Denied any Links to the One-Way “Suicide” Drone Attack on the Tower 22 Patrol and Operations Base last night in Northeastern Jordan which resulted in the Death of 3 U.S. Soldiers, with the Spokesman for the Iranian Mission to the United Nations stating, “Iran has nothing to do with the Attacks in Question. The Conflict has been Initiated by the United States Military against Resistance Groups in Iraq and Syria; and such Operations are Reciprocal between them.”
If this attack really came from Iran's Revolutionary Guard that is really , really bad. #Tower22
U.S. Defense and Intelligence Officials believe that the One-Way “Suicide” Drone Attack which was launched last night by Iranian-Backed Forces against the Al-Tanf Military Base in Southern Syria and the Tower 22 Patrol and Operations Base in Northeastern Jordan, originated from or near Imam Ali Military Base, a Iranian Base near the Town of Abu Kamal in Southern Syria which is operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran alongside several Iranian-Back Militias including Kata'ib Hezbollah.
6% of Russian deaths in Ukraine have been from tank crews. What a way to die. In an inferno. They've lost from 1800 to 2500 tanks. Some have been abandoned as the crews flee. The soldiers are not trained or committed and are given no intelligence. Terrible tactics.

At least 6 U.S. Air Force KC-135 Aerial-Refueling Tankers, most from March Air Reserve Base in Southern California, are heading Northeast across the United States and preparing to Transit the Atlantic towards the U.K. and Europe. I wonder what kind of Aircraft they are Refueling? 🤔

The Houthis destroyed a British tanker with Russian oil in the Red Sea, Bloomberg
It's good that it was Russian oil - but now they have an environmental disaster on their doorstep. How stupid.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
These images do not show the attacked tanker, they show a Japanese ship on fire in October 2002.
