The president’s comments expressing serious interest in deploying ground troops have not focused on a large-scale ground invasion of Iran, but rather on the idea of a small contingent of U.S. troops that would be used for specific strategic purposes, the U.S. officials, the former U.S. official and the person with knowledge of the discussions said. They said Trump has not made any decisions or given any orders related to ground troops.
The U.S. and Israel have discussed sending special forces into Iran to secure its stockpile of highly enriched uranium at a later stage of the war, according to four sources with knowledge of the discussions.
...
The intrigue: Beyond the uranium, administration officials tell Axios there has also been discussion of seizing Kharg Island, a strategic terminal responsible for roughly 90% of Iran's crude oil exports.
That nigga's corrupt AF admin - and Coolidge's & Hoover's - were the reason for the Great Depression and a public reaction that would eventually give us the New Deal, which created the wealthiest middle class in history and the American Dream. If history repeats itself, these corrupt AF 70+ year-old boomer assholes destroying the world will be dead soon and another New Deal will be necessary. The massive corruption in the current admin arguably outpaces what happened in the 1920s.
The New Deal was necessary because the ruling class feared the people, so they had to do it - plus it created the new social system that they controlled and would inevitably corrupt. They didn't lose anything. They remained in power.
This is one of the reasons a grade school education is one of the most important requirements of government spending. When lies about history are spread, consider how easy it is for the wealthy assholes to fund massive misinformation campaigns that manupulate people with other lies about history. They did so in the 1890s-early 1930s, and are doing it again. This is why it's so important today to understand the facts. Misinterpreting the New Deal has dire consequences for interepreting the abuses of the wealthy today. The history of the New Deal and what caused it is not difficult to learn about. One would start with the abandonment of the Reconstruction by Republicans. A good book on it is Richardson's 'The Death of Reconstruction' (2001). After that, Liaquat Ahamed's 'Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World' (2009) should be read. Thirdly, Rauchway's 'Why the New Deal Matters', though the bibliography for New Deal history books is massive.

Defunding K-12 education while claiming that students become political drones when they receive an education, so that they do not understand much of anything and cannot contribute anything worthwhile in society or the workforce.
Helping students understand how to make decisions and how to identify lies and fallacies, and how to be competitive in the current economy by increasing funding for their education so that they learn how to understand reading, writing, history, biology, mathematics, languages, chemsitry, civics, geography, gymnastics, theatre, music, etc.
Boomers had the benefit of the latter, and 30% of them are now OK with destroying that for young people.
Limited binary black & white thinking. There are more options. Many more.
Most important, rather than paying top down bureaucracies, red tape, and middle management, the money should be controlled by the communities to directly pay for teachers, classes, and supplies properly.
Clearly the Boomers weren't as well educated as we'd like. They were psy-oped by Rock & Roll, the Hippie Movement, Disco Culture, Yuppie Lifestyle, and television beyond retirement, while doing little to nothing to stop the deep state from getting us to where we are now, having bulldozed over endless suffering casualties along the way.
I'm a big fan of Finnish people and their approaches.
Anyhow, AI tells me that: "The Finnish school system is
globally renowned for its equity, high-quality, master's-trained teachers, and student-centered approach, featuring minimal homework, no standardized testing (until age 18), and a 9-year comprehensive school (ages 7–16) with free meals, materials, and healthcare. It emphasizes, play-based learning in early years, cooperation over competition, and local autonomy for teachers, resulting in high, consistent performance."
Thanks, though... separation of church and state is one of the most important fundamental aspects of a fuctional democracy. Educating the populace is another fundamental aspect.
Catholic school - is religious, usually costly, and separates the sexes into different schools, so that they become promiscuous asshats when they're out of school; nor do they understand science
French-immersion - never heard of it and it's probably not available most places, and it involves French stuff that my uneducated mind cannot understand
home-school - absolutely pathetic and always fucks up the kids, who cannot spell or function in society thereafter. Republicans LOVE this kind of "school" because these idiots are rejected by everyone except far right social media that tells them that all their problems are due to brown people, not the fact that they're blooming idiots.
Montessori - fancy pants special treatment for kids that I know very little about but have met some of their fancy pants graduates who have the egos the size of small planets; no thanks
private school - expensive, only for people with lots of money, and everyone else can fuck off; whereas the people with lots of money these days are causing all of our problems in society
Sunday school - religious; see also Catholic school
etc. - nope - we need to spend $gazillions on our education programs, for better teaching, training, etc. The children are our future, yada yada yada
None of this compares with the current administration. Trump's just doing what he's told, but it's still the worst presidency.
Biden helped creat the most jobs, compared to all other presidents. (No jobs under Trump admin.)
Obama helped arrange healthcare for all. (Now being destroyed.)
Bush Jr was previously the worst president.
Reagan's 1st term restarted the economy. (2nd term fucked up the American Dream.)
Johnson AND Congress fucked up in Vietnam, (and his friends killed JFK, I think, as well) but is known especially for civil rights legislation, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965—and launching the Great Society" domestic programs (Medicare, Medicaid, War on Poverty).
FDR is commonly in the top 3 of all 'best presidents' lists (sometimes 1 or 2), for obvious reasons. We need another FDR today.
Wilson was a key Progressive Era leader, who implemented major reforms including the Federal Reserve Act (essential at that time, followed by FDR's FDIC), antitrust legislation (boy do we need that NOW), and the 19th Amendment for women's suffrage.
COVID was bad. CARES Act was terrible. And though he's now started wars, not (yet) as bad as other wars, and "sanctions" like other presidents, for the ultimate sin, mass murder, has not yet got the body count.
Give him a chance and he might yet become The Worst by most standards.
All presidents, Left & Right, are equally evil puppets for their mafia bosses.
They are only as "bad" as the planned circumstances allow.
Worse than Taft - who I agree was evil and furthered corruption and the interests of wealthy assholes much like Trump has done - but hasn't been as bad as the assholes in the current administration (now with the Iran war, covering up child trafficking and murder, taking $billions in bitcoin grift, anti-trust abuses (like Taft), flagrant racism (like Taft), destroying healthcare, wasting $billions on Israel and other stupid expenses, cutting welfare to the point that rural old people are literally starving to death, etc, etc. It's literally evil.
Child trafficking of thousands pales to murder of millions or oppression of billions.
They all grift, abuse, and are corrupt.
Racism is just an opinion until it becomes actions.
Government, industrial, and privatized healthcare systems are always control scams. Communities must take care of their own. No one else will. Same with welfare. Same with police. Taxes must be rerouted from big gov to small gov or better: community-lead groups.
Trillion$ on the military industrial complex is even stupider than billion$ on Israel.
Cancellation of Army exercise fuels speculation about Mideast troop deployments
The elite 82nd Airborne Division, which specializes in ground combat and other fraught missions, is awaiting new orders after the unexpected change of plans.
The Army in recent days abruptly canceled a major training exercise for the headquarters element of an elite paratrooper unit, officials said, fueling speculation within the Defense Department that soldiers specializing in ground combat and a range of other missions may be sent to the Middle East as the conflict with Iran widens.
The 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg in North Carolina includes a brigade combat team of about 4,000 to 5,000 soldiers ready to deploy on 18 hours notice for missions as varied as seizing airfields and other critical infrastructure, reinforcing U.S. embassies and enabling emergency evacuations. Its headquarters element is responsible for coordinating how those operations are planned and executed.
...
If the administration elects to send ground forces into Iran, one early target, analysts have said, could be Kharg Island. Located about 15 miles from the mainland in the Persian Gulf, the island is home to some of Tehran’s most significant oil infrastructure, with about 90 percent of the country’s oil exports moving through facilities there.
A U.S. seizure of Kharg Island would give the Trump administration control of a centerpiece of the Iranian economy but leave U.S. troops vulnerable to attack.
Michael Rubin, a senior fellow at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, called securing Kharg Island a “no-brainer” and said it appears that the Trump administration appears to be “coming around to the idea that Iran is a much greater problem set than perhaps they went in thinking.”
While U.S. troops could take incoming fire if deployed there, Rubin said, capturing the island would give the United States significant strategic advantages, including potentially choking off Tehran’s ability to pay its military.

Warren G. Harding, hands down. He liked knockwurst and sauerkraut.

Of course a government mandated education is going to get you to side with them.
The options are:
Defunding K-12 education while claiming that students become political drones when they receive an education, so that they do not understand much of anything and cannot contribute anything worthwhile in society or the workforce.
Helping students understand how to make decisions and how to identify lies and fallacies, and how to be competitive in the current economy by increasing funding for their education so that they learn how to understand reading, writing, history, biology, mathematics, languages, chemsitry, civics, geography, gymnastics, theatre, music, etc.

To taxpayer-funded education?
Look at Finland's schools.

The socialism camel's nose under the tent.
It's created dependence on the govt for close to everything.
Today the govt creates problems, so it can advance the oligarchy agenda.

Also in the running:

They'd have to expect this.
It would be interesting to know what they have planned - after 40 years of threats.
Boots on the ground in the Gulf to make the oil flow.
That's not how it works.
Gotta protect the Gulf or there will be oil shortages.
IFIFY:
Gotta "protect" the Gulf so there will be oil shortages.
Kinda have to they woke up the beast
They're pissed off and want revenge
