There are many different motives among the most eager to attack Iran—bloodlust, Biblical end times, MAGA Bro swagger, etc. The stench of “our friends the Saudis” & MbS’s paid pawn Prince Jared is vile.
Trump surely shares some of the same motives but who doubts that distraction is primary for him?

I quickly put this together. If you want me to make additions, let me know in the comments section.
Debate is good, but be civil and avoid unnecessary fights. We’re in this fight against the Fascists!
BREAKING: North Carolina Primary Results — CNN Politics
Poll Closings
- Texas — 7:00 pm Central Time. The Western corner of the state — including El Paso and Hudspeth County — operates on Mountain Time.
- North Carolina — 7:30 pm Eastern Time.
The North Carolina State Board of Elections has extended voting at one precinct in Halifax County to 8:30 p.m. This means statewide primary election results will be delayed to 8:30 p.m.
The State Board of Elections voted unanimously to extend voting by one hour at Halifax County's Littleton precinct. This comes after the voting location was delayed in opening due to a "synchronization issue with electronic poll books."
North Carolina law allows for the State Board of Elections to extend voting hours at sites where voting is interrupted for at least 15 minutes, state election officials said.
- Arkansas — 7:30 pm Central Time.
Today’s Primaries in TX, NC, and AR
Here are the key races to watch.
At the polls: Today’s primaries kick off an eight-month marathon to the midterms, delivering a verdict not just on President Donald Trump’s second term but on how both parties see themselves and their futures.
• Marquee Texas races: Incumbent GOP Sen. John Cornyn faces perhaps the toughest challenge of his career from Attorney General Ken Paxton and US Rep. Wesley Hunt, with the top two heading to a runoff if no one secures a majority. On the Democratic side, US Rep. Jasmine Crockett and state Rep. James Talarico are battling in a high-profile fight.
• Under a cloud: Also in Texas, GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales faces a tough challenge from Brandon Herrera amid allegations the congressman had an affair with a senior staffer who later died by suicide.
• Other states: In North Carolina, Democrat Roy Cooper and Republican Michael Whatley are expected to advance to a matchup for US Senate. And in Arkansas, a man is running for local sheriff after being charged with murder.
