"If any one day could define the hazy transition from slow to rapid decay — 24 hours that truly defined the decline of the American empire from its pedestal as a global superpower — it would have to be March 23."

Over 24 hours, a deadly jet crash, militarized airports, insider trading, and a killer heat wave define a nation in rapid decline.Will Bunch (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

#WallStreet slumps on #MiddleEast uncertainty. #US #stocks had their biggest loss since the #war with #Iran started, with the S&P 500 falling 1.7%. #Nasdaq confirms correction.
#Trump said Thursday he will delay a threatened strike on #Iran #energy #infrastructure & extend his deadline for Tehran to reopen the #StraitOfHormuz until April 6, claiming talks to end the #war are “going very well.” The move marks a pullback from Trump’s earlier warning that the #US would target Iran’s energy plants if the crucial shipping lane remained closed.

It’s the latest instance of #Trump putting his name & likeness on US cultural institutions, following his renaming of the US Institute of Peace #USIP, the #KennedyCenter performing arts venue & a new class of battleships, among other tributes.
The plans come in tandem with an ongoing effort to get Trump’s face on a #coin.

"The network that protected Epstein for decades wasn’t a coincidence of geography—it was a community of interest. Men who understood, on some level, that their world runs on the same principle Epstein ran his life on: acquire, control, use, discard. What Epstein did to children, this class does to everything.
Call them what they are. Call them the Predator Class."

"Donald Trump didn’t surprise anyone by welcoming the death of Robert Mueller, an American hero who exemplified all the admirable qualities he does not possess.
But the president’s fresh demonstration of depravity underscored a defining characteristic of his presidency. I do not mean corruption, or dishonesty, or ignorance, though Trump is thoroughly corrupt, dishonest, and ignorant."

Noting that the election of a Democrat in the district in Florida representing Trump's Mar-a-Lago adds confirmation to the expectation of a blue wave in the coming elections, D. Earl Stephens writes:
"Let’s start here today, patriots:
Republicans are in charge of the House.
Republicans are in charge of the Senate.
Republicans are in charge of the Executive.
Republicans are in charge of the Supreme Court."

"Donald Trump’s unlawful war in Iran is escalating rapidly, and the gap between what he’s saying and what’s actually happening has never been wider. We are now seeing the deployment of one of the most elite rapid-response forces in the United States military, the 82nd Airborne Division. This is not a symbolic move or a small advisory presence."

The legal dispute centers on a policy called "#metering" that the Trump admin may seek to revive after it was dropped by Joe #Biden in 2021. The policy allowed US #immigration ofcls to stop asylum seekers at the border & indefinitely decline to process their claims.

"We will, eventually, get a negotiated settlement with Iran. There will be no change of the Iranian regime, nor unconditional surrender. Which means that President Trump will have failed to achieve his primary war aims."

Karma comes for our very stable genius and has he even said “thank you”?Jonathan V. Last (The Bulwark)
"Never before has an administration so openly glorified outright killing as the current White House propaganda machine does with its obscene snuff videos of the Iran war and the destruction of small boats.
Unlike with fascism in the 20th century, there is no attempt to promote or symbolically reward self-sacrifice –" (continued in /3)
(continued from /2)
"it is just video game-style killing at a distance, justified not with strategic objectives, but with seemingly uncontrollable emotions ('fury' and a thirst for vengeance). And all accompanied by open admissions that basic laws of warfare will be broken."
"It seems that Hegseth and company are also promoting an ultimately nihilist cult of death. But it celebrates killing by pressing a button thousands of miles away; meanwhile, America’s own dead are dishonored, as Trump has used their repatriation to display his Maga merch and fundraise off the victims of war."

As Brian Kaylor reports, "Pete Hegseth’s Bible, like his body, is stamped with two Crusader tattoos."
The bible Hegseth used when he was sworn in has the same Crusader cross with which he's tattooed stamped on it, and has the stamp "Deus vult," also tatoooed on Hegseth's body.
As Kaylor notes,
"White supremacists have appropriated Crusader imagery to cast themselves as Christian warriors fighting to drive out Muslims and others in the name of God."

"The death toll in the lawless U.S. campaign against alleged drug-smuggling boats rose to at least 159 on Thursday after a strike in the eastern Pacific killed two people and left one survivor, who was turned over to the Costa Rican Coast Guard, according to the Pentagon. It was the 46th such strike on the high seas."
