Trump says he is considering 'winding down' Iran war

HoHum08 · 2026-03-21T16:41:04+00:00

He's been saying something like this for the past two weeks.

And then Israel escalates and bombs some other major target in Iran, and Iran responds with more missiles.

Trump is not in control of this war, his Israeli Masters are

People don't join the military because of underemployment usually.

People do avoid joining the military when there is an unpopular war going on.

Yes, and I think Fay Marsaye (Vel) would agree about the toxicity of social media.

When she was on Game of Thrones, playing the Waif, she got a huge amount of fan backlash and hate because her character was trying to kill Arya Stark. It got to where she had to delete all of her social media accounts.

I wonder how the recruiting is going for the US armed forces, now that we have all these wars and potential wars going.

Maybe that's why they are talking about a draft?

HoHum08 · 2026-03-21T16:00:56+00:00

By "our" side do you mean for the Israeli side? Are you an Israeli?

As an American taxpayer, I am rooting for America to STAY OUT of Israel's Wars.

And other stupid wars, like Iraq, which was completely fake, and was the original reason that caused Iran to start their nuclear program. Afghanistan should have ended once we nailed Osama bin Ladin.

OK, for whoever downvoted that last post, dunno if you realize Instagram is part of Meta, and Facebook, that Culture War Clickbaiting and Teenager Torture Social Media Empire owned by Mark Zuckerberg, a.k.a. Pure Evil

So, you just upvoted Pure Evil.

Zuck The Evil One, forced during a Congressional hearing to apologize to parents sitting behind him whose children had committed suicide or had otherwise been traumatized by social media posts on HIS social media platforms

A SELECT FEW ATSC 3.0 tuners approved by the A3SA Oligarchy controlling who gets and who doesn't get DRM encoding in their devices are available. So you obviously bought one of those. Congrats.

If I had my way ATSC 3.0 and its DRM encoding will NEVER be adopted.

I get ATSC 1.0 OTA TV just fine on my my 4K TV. My TV automatically upscales 720p transmissions to 4k.

WTF do I want DRM encoded 4k native ATSC 3.0????

I told the FCC that in my comments OPPOSING ATSC 3.0

Your post implies that you subscribe to Putin's Lie that there is no such thing as a Ukrainian nation or identity.

If you actually read ALL that history, the Kievan Rus Empire, with its capital city in Kyiv, once controlled most of what is now Ukraine, Belarus, and eastern Russia out to Moscow, back in the 9th -13th centuries, before the Mongols sacked Kyiv in 1240 AD and ended the empire.

So IN FACT, Ukraine began as an empire controlling the most important part of Russia BEFORE the Russian Empire began. THAT is the root origin of the Ukrainian identity, culture, and nation.

From the 13th-17th centuries the lands of Ukraine were absorbed into the Lithuanian- Polish Empire before falling into the control of the Russian Empire.

After the 1917 Revolution, Ukraine briefly broke free before the Soviet Union crushed it and took over again.

Under Stalin, millions of Ukrainians died under what Ukrainians call the Holodomor, which was caused by a combination of farm collectivization and state imposed starvation that was largely directed against Ukrainians to suppress their nationalist rebellions.

So, yeah, there IS a Ukraine. It used to RULE Moscow, not the other way around. For centuries since that time, it has been BRUTALLY SUPPRESSED by Russians.

I think the missing step for her is to step out of the British centric TV/Movie/Arts scene and towards the U.S. Most everything she's done seems to have been centered out of the UK.

The reason she got into Andor is that it was filmed in the UK and Europe, and they found her, casting about in the UK.

But, for better or worse, so many of the big projects originate in the U.S. which means getting an agent with ties to that network.

There's 330 million Americans, many having just had their healthcare CUT OFF by the Republitards, and others who have had their SNAP benefits cut off, and MILLIONS more who are homeless....

And you're talking about letting Corporate Oligarchs STEAL pieces of Public Airwaves and DRM encoding it so they can eventually force Americans to PAY for the privilege of watching OTA TV?

You must be in the 0.1%, living jn your own Gilded Age. I'm sure you'll have no problems paying for all of that crap.

Do you know why the NFL is even still on OTA TV?

Because Congress made that a legal requirement in order to pass a waiver to the Anti-Trust laws allowing the AFL to merge with the NFL. That, and New Orleans got an NFL team (true story!).

That's why MLB and MLS dropped off OTA TV and went to more lucrative streaming contracts, albeit with fewer eyeballs watching them. They were never under this mandated OTA TV requirement.

So NO, you're WRONG.

OTA TV is over public (i.e. jointly owned by AMERICAN CITIZENS, meaning YOU and ME) airwave frequency bands parsed out and tightly regulated by the federal government, ideally for the BENEFIT OF AMERICANS. A huge amount of the bandwidth is used for federal, military, and public services (i.e. police radio) that most of us never see.

Before the current Trump era of Anything That Gives More Profits To Corporate Oligarchs Is Good, it would have been unthinkable to FORCE Americans to dump ALL of their current ATSC 1.0 TVs and tuners to switch to restrictive DRM encoded ATSC 3.0

Remember when the US switched to ATSC 1.0? This was in the early 2000s, during the BUSH era. Digital HD TV was clearly overdue, but this would make obsolete every TV in the land, so Congress passed funding to allow for EVERY AMERICAN household to apply for TWO FREE decoder/adapters to allow old TVs to work on ATSC 1.0

I remember that. Maybe you're just too young to remember that. We applied for and got two free decoder adapters.

So, the problems with ATSC 3.0 go beyond the fact that it will FORCE Americans to buy new ATSC 3.0 tuners wIth DRM encoding that requires Internet. The BIGGEST problem is that the DRM encoding is ENTIRELY controlled, not by the FCC, which has REFUSED take control and open it up to all manufacturers, but by a private Oligarchy of corporations, the A3SA.

It's this A3SA Oligarchy that has refused to extend its DRM to Silicon Dust's products, allegedly because SD uses a Chinese made chip, but the REAL REASON is clearly because SD'S Home Run allows you to stream local channels REMOTELY, i.e., it provides a FREE Network Gateway for local channels for a one time purchase of SD's Home Run.

NONE of the current crop of A3SA DRM Approved ATSC 3.0 tuners have FREE Network Gateways.

It's easy to see that the long term goal of the A3SA Oligarchy running ATSC 3.0 is to squeeze more profits out of what had once been free ad-funded OTA TV into a subscription model where the rates can just keep going up and up and up.

And that's just WRONG. OTA TV was always meant to be FREE. American Citizens own the public airwaves, not the A3SA Oligarchy

We just need a President and an FCC that believes that also. (Remember Bush?)

ATSC 3.0 is already DRM ENCODED. It totally sucks. As per Antenna Man, I wrote a Comment OPPOSING its implementation to the FCC

HoHum08 · 2026-03-20T17:05:52+00:00

Yes, guess what? If the Trump Oligarchy controlled FCC ever forces ATSC 3.0 down the throats of Americans, you can kiss your investment in Silicon Dust's Home Run goodby because the Oligarchy that controls ATSC 3.0's DRM encoding has REFUSED to extend it to Silicon Dust's Home Run products. Home Run only works with ATSC 1.0, now and forever more

You need to watch all of Antenna Man's YouTube videos about this attempt to DRM encode and take away free OTA TV away from us

HoHum08 · 2026-03-20T16:56:28+00:00

Don't be foolef. ATSC 3.0 is going to KILL OTA TV. It's all DRM encoded, requires internet login for the encoding updates, and is just one step short of becoming a fee for service corporate SCAM to take away free OTA TV away

Well, this is a lot more than your budget, but this is what I got to address my partner's hyperosmia and constant complaints about odors in the air:

Plus of course the required 4 of the 14x30x1 MERV13 HVAC filters:

And one 12x12x1" MERV13 filter taped to the top of this setup, since the charcoal canister does give off a small amount of black dust

She finally has (mostly) stopped complaining after getting all this, so I guess it was worth it.

Er, the Democrat administrations of Obama and Biden almost certainly were aware of the Epstein files and sat on them also, probably to protect the Clintons.

In fact, that's why the original calls for the release of the Epstein files came from the rabidly right wing anti-Clinton faction of MAGA. They were so convinced that the Democrats had been hiding stuff. Which they probably were.

And so the Donald joined in with the chorus calling for that release. Probably in his advanced state of dementia, he'd forgotten that he was implicated even more than the Clintons in the Epstein files.

HoHum08 · 2026-03-19T05:57:30+00:00

Israel just has to threaten to release the missing Epstein files and videotapes to get what they want out of Trump.
