Fuck this. I am in the US but not off it. Little the government is doing and especially attacking Iran is anything I am even remotely behind. They are not me. They are not the America I care about. I will do everything in my power to not give them one penny to fund their blatant evil.

Question from relative newbie. I was setting up Alby Hub and went to open my first channel which it said needed payment of $19 and a bit of change. So I deposited on chain sats worth $24. Then I went to open channel and received following message You currently have 24,000 sats. We recommend depositing 230,000 sats to open this channel. WTH? I can't open a channel for less than $100? Next question. Do I need to open a chanel to receive sats here from zaps?

Trump orders up Doomsday Plane meant as portable command center in even a nuclear exchange? Double plus Not Good. US 'Doomsday Plane' Lands Near Washington After Iran Rejects Trump's Surrender Demand https://ground.news/article/us-doomsday-plane-lands-near-washington-after-iran-rejects-trumps-surrender-demand On Tuesday evening, a U.S. Air Force Boeing E-4B Nightwatch, known as the Doomsday Plane, flew from Barksdale Air Force Base to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland after a four-hour flight. The flight took place during escalating regional tensions and concerns over potential nuclear conflict in the Middle East, with the unusual callsign ORDER01 sparking speculation about heightened U.S. military alertness. Some observers interpreted the mission on Tuesday as related to increased protective measures for the president, who privately reviewed attack options against Iran but did not give final approval for military strikes. This week, President Trump demanded Tehran's 'unconditional surrender,' which Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected, stating Iran would resist imposed war or peace. The deployment of the E-4B reinforces its role as a survivable command center during national emergencies and signals heightened alertness amid escalating Israel-Iran conflict and potential military action.

Silly me. I thought Congress, rather than POTUS, was supposed to decide whether to enter a war. https://ground.news/article/trump-to-decide-on-us-action-in-israel-iran-conflict-within-two-weeks-white-house-says_4d5460

All of it is made up religious mythology.

Privacy is wasteful if your goal is total surveillance and control. In general no functional unit be it an app or a government agency should have any more data on people than essential to its function and accessing it should be only by vetted persons in that function. This is true in private sector and in the past has been sought in public sector as well. This action by the federal government makes all of us unsafe. Congress put many protections on various types of government in place. Why aren't they raising hell that their decisions which belong to Congress are being overturned?
