    Bobby, I felt compelled to write you because what I witnessed in him stirred something deeper than admiration—it stirred hope. When Major AIRD arrived at Martin Correctional Facility, he carried a title that demanded authority and respect: Major, overseer of security. But those who have observed his tenure quickly realized he brought more than rank—he brought vision.

   America’s “holy Grail” of exceptionalism is shattered by the shielding of the Epstein files and the diversionary war with Iran. Over a thousand young girls were sexually abused while the perpetrators remain free.  Still, the untimely diversionary  war with Iran injures and kills thousands to change the headline as though it’s merely a video game.

     In 2016, when reporter Katy Tur asked Donald Trump about his false claim that he saw thousands of Muslims in New Jersey cheering the 9/11 attacks, he replied, “I have the world’s greatest memory. It’s one thing everyone agrees on.” However, when asked about this remark under oath in a deposition during the Trump University lawsuit, he replied, “I don’t remember that.” Simply put, Trump has not a great memory but a greatly convenient memory that he uses to avoid accountability. Here are a few of many possible examples.

“Cuba is gonna fall pretty soon . . . They want to make a deal, and so I’m going to put Marco ]Rubio] over there and we’ll see how that works out. We’re really focused on this one [Iran] right now. We’ve got plenty of time, but Cuba’s ready — after 50 years . . .

    As the U.S.- and Israel-led war continues to expand, its justifications have grown thinner and its timeline more elusive. At the same time, the Trump administration appears increasingly eager to rein in unfavorable coverage. During a Pentagon press briefing on March 13, 2026, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth urged journalists to adopt more favorable framing of the conflict, telling reporters, “Here’s a real headline for you, for an actual patriotic press… ‘Iran shrinking, going underground.’” Hegseth’s quip implies that coverage of Iran which questions the administration’s actions or portrays them in an unflattering light is somehow unpatriotic.
