"For the second month in a row, Pete Hegseth, who likes to call himself 'secretary of war,' read a violent prayer — that echoes a scene in the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction — during a worship service at the Pentagon on Wednesday (April 15) to bless the U.S. war against Iran and call for 'great vengeance and furious anger.'”

“…the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Pope Leo XIV shelved plans to visit the United States later this year.

Nope.

The #Pentagon is seeking $200 billion in additional funds for the #Iran #war, a senior admin official says.

The DoD sent the request to the White House, acc/to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity…

It’s an extraordinarily high number & comes on top of extra funding the Defense Dept already received last year in #Trump’s big tax cuts bill.
