"Shouldn't SOMEONE from the Trump Administration have addressed the nation

about this or are they too busy working on his birthday parade? Are we allowed to know anything about this new war we are fighting?" Ron Filipkowski, bluesky.

Instead of an address to the nation, though, we got this statement from Liz Friden:
"The US is assisting Israel to shoot down Iranian missiles," a senior U.S. official tells Fox News in a statement. "There are hundreds of thousands of American citizens and other American assets in Israel and the U.S. is working to protect them," the official said.

An anonymous official talking only to Fox? And the rest of the corporate media is fine with that, I guess.

he's been waiting so long for his very own parade. I' m sure the words are already written, but he might not be up for memorizing the lines.
