Guessing that 30% of military spending is lost to inefficiency, waste and fraud. But the economy is addicted to the churn of that spending through all states and districts, which is why so few elected representatives openly oppose increases.

Wealth redistribution would require a more fundamental reform of the tax code.

Stephen Miller a β€˜big problem’ for Trump administration, says Republican senator Thom Tillis, who called for the resignation or firing of DHS secretary Kristi Noem, says White House adviser β€˜should go’

Tillis, playing stalking horse again, now gunning for Stephen Miller. Repugs know Miller, like Noem, is a liability for the midterms. Who else will sign on? Is Bondi next on their list? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Why you can remember every word of a song from 25 years ago – but not why you walked into the room Forgetting why you walked into a room isn’t a sign of cognitive decline. It’s your brain doing exactly what it evolved to do.

This is quite interesting if you’re of a certain age. theconversation.com/why-you-can-...

Study suggests most Americans would be healthier without daylight saving time According to a new analysis by Stanford Medicine scientists, changing clocks twice a year disrupts circadian rhythms, leading to higher rates of stroke and obesity.

Have long held that time of day should synch with noon occurring at the point the sun is at its zenith. #DaylightSavings #DST med.stanford.edu/news/all-new...

Did Earth life actually begin on Mars? Asteroid impacts could let microbes planet-hop, study suggests "Life might actually survive being ejected from one planet and moving to another."

If so, did Mars life begin elsewhere too? #Biology #Science #Mars #Exobiology www.space.com/space-explor...

Iran should have paid a heavier price long ago for funding its terrorist proxies. But the US forays into the Middle East have always been about oil.

Gas Prices Continue to Surge in U.S., Rising 14% in a Week

No paywall.

Between trump’s illegal tariffs and ill-conceived attack on Iran, prices for consumer goods and travel have relentlessly increased. The price of anything that’s transported is affected by increased fuel costs. #Oil #Inflation #Tarifffs #Prices #Airfares www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/b...

Iran’s population = 92M. Its well-organized military is estimated at 1.18 million including active, reserve, and paramilitary forces. Iran can’t be defeated with air power alone and were the US be foolish enough to invade, it would be going into a meat grinder.

trump and his handlers are fascinated with building an empire based on oil supplies. In that regard, Iran is the follow-on to Venezuela. Suspect Big Oil is active in crafting that strategy.
