1:32 p.m. CT:  is the administration imploding? 

National Security Advisor fired; then immediately named to be US ambassador to the UN. And this was after the "Stefanik" debacle.
Apparently there is no one in the National Security Advisor's office who can cover as "acting advisor." Alternatively, no one in the office could be trusted by the president. President Trump named SecState Rubio his National Security Advisor pending a new nomination. It seems JD Vance might have enough spare time to be the NSA for awhile.
The administration must be channeling the recent NFL draft.
Seriously, this suggests major, major differences inside the administration. On the surface it appears Hegseth (and/or his inner circle) wanted Waltz fired but Trump did not. But there are other explanations possible, also.

Original Post

Wow, wow, wow -- breaking now:

Was it Putin, Ukraine, or Iran? If you ask "AI", the latter suggests it's most likely with regard to Putin "tapping" Trump.

The biggest mistake Trump made in January, 2025? Appointing "politicos" to jobs where "experts, not politicos" were needed. Appointing "politicos" was the same mistake -- but understandable -- that Biden made.

Actually, in fact, this all appears to be related to "Signal chat leak." Wow -- that story had legs ... and ramifications.  My hunch: the "signal chat leak" -- simply the "tipping point" and doesn't have to admit that Trump has been played by Putin.

From January, 2025:

National security advisor: Representative Mike Waltz, R-Florida. Wiki.Announced November 11, 2024.

A state representative elevated to national security advisor? From the outset, I thought Waltz was in way over his head. Way over his head.

Iran Vs US

Tea leaves: everything points to the "death cross" approaching. Impact imminent?

  • where we are this morning: one second before PAT 25 x AA 5342
    • tipping point: that $70 million F-18E rolling off the USS Truman
      • Hegseth: vs $5,000 drone from the Houthis? 
    • Iran was fortunate it was not a $110 million F-35C that rolled off the a/c carrier
  • reminder: it was a last-minute "wave-off" from Trump that stopped the inevitable two weeks ago
  • if Israeli strike is imminent, what would be high on the list? Taking out the fuel needed for ballistic missiles
  • by the way, with sanctions on Iran, how in the world did all that fuel (from North Korea?) get delivered halfway around the world to Iran? Just asking.
    • is Hegseth should be asking XO US Navy: exactly what our we "using" our nuclear submarines for?
