Blaming serves no purpose, except for narcissists.
BTW:
The United States will not renew Iranian and Russian oil waivers, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told The Associated Press on Saturday |

carib, the house will likely flip.
dt will blame senate republicans.. not house republicans, who passed SAVE. |

| For the avoidance of doubt: I would be happy if the Ayatollahs regime was utterly destroyed, but I dislike wars that create havoc without solving the problem. |

| 3) the point is not whom to blame, but if the republicans can hold the Senate (right now I guess they can, but november is far away) |

Victor:
1) yes, Trump can bomb, but the iranians can cause great damage in the emirates, Qatar and Saudi. If it was not so, the problem would have already been solved.
2) Murkowski has been re-elected despite the republican party. |

Letters to the Editor
Letter: Murkowski’s stance on the SAVE Act leaves her leadership in question
By Mathew Vroman
Published: March 20, 2026
I’m a pastor right here in Akutan, and I’ve had enough of Sen. Lisa Murkowski. She is refusing to support the SAVE Act, the one bill that would make sure only American citizens get to vote. How can she look at the mess in our elections and just sit on her hands? It feels like she is fine with the system staying exactly the way it is.
As a pastor, I talk every Sunday about truth, honesty and standing up for what is right. It makes me sick to watch someone who is supposed to represent us Alaskans act so out of touch. She seems bored with election integrity. No fire, no fight, just business as usual while the rest of us worry our votes do not count. That is not leadership — that is checking out. The one thing she seems energized about is opposing this.
I have been trying to reach her office for three straight weeks. She does not even post the hours the phone is open anymore. I have called and called, left messages, nothing. The only thing I got was a canned email from the contact form on her website. It was polite, sure, but it felt distant, like she is above talking to regular people who pay her salary.
We deserve better than this. Sen. Murkowski should be voted out. Alaska can do better.
— Pastor Mathew Vroman, Akutan |

Iran asks residents to conserve electricity after US, Israeli strikes 'destroyed our infrastructure'
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is now urging the country's residents to conserve electricity use following U.S. and Israeli strikes during Operation Epic Fury and Operation Roaring Lion, a report said.
Pezeshkian, speaking on state television Saturday, said the government aims to “control consumption” of electricity, according to The Associated Press.
“Instead of turning on 10 lights at home, turn on two lights. What is wrong with that?” he reportedly said.
He added the U.S. and Israel “destroyed our infrastructure,” and noted that the U.S. imposed a blockade on Iran’s ports. |

CNN —
Estados Unidos aceptó permitir que el Gobierno de Venezuela financie la defensa del presidente derrocado Nicolás Maduro, lo que pone fin a un enfrentamiento legal.
En una carta presentada a última hora del viernes por la noche, los fiscales federales informaron al juez que supervisa el caso que el Departamento del Tesoro aceptó modificar una licencia para permitir los pagos a los abogados de Maduro y su esposa, quien también enfrenta cargos penales, sin violar las leyes de sanciones de Estados Unidos. Maduro y su esposa se han declarado inocentes.
“Las licencias modificadas autorizan a los abogados defensores recibir pagos del Gobierno de Venezuela bajo ciertas condiciones”, explicaron los fiscales al juez, de modo que los pagos se realicen con fondos “de los que disponga el Gobierno de Venezuela a partir del 5 de marzo de 2026”. |

| Maybe I am mistaken.. but I have the impression US diplomacy re Iran has completely cornered itself.Both sides, in a way, are now just probing the other side pain threshold.It is quite natural for the side fighting for personal and political survival to have a much higher pain threshold. On the other side, the narcissist has a big problem with recognising a defeat. Rubio is apparently not touching the issue even with a bargepole. |
