This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

Oh, honey . . . just because you played dress-up at a fake "military academy" that your parents sent you to because you were such an unmanageable, obnoxious teenager doesn't mean you were in the miliary. You had that duty, but lied to get out of it.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarterβ€”even the declaration of no quarterβ€”is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

Highly recommend that once in a while you check out what the international news community is reporting on this war.

Peep this from yesterday. See the difference?

He is just making things up, and the whole world knows the truth. The United States has never looked weaker because of these lies and his complete lack of a plan or strategy. Wars cannot be won with gaslighting and Truth Social posts.

WARREN: Has Rubio made any request for transcom to help evacuate Americans out of Middle East?


REED: State made a request on Feb 28 & we have provided some assistance

W: When we called them yesterday, they said they haven't asked you for assistance. Can you explain that?

R: I cannot explain that

Still no censure of Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine, or Andy Ogles, who are openly promoting hate against Muslims while the US is bombing Iran, killing the Ayatollah, and people like Lindsey Graham are calling it a "religious war" DURING RAMADAN.

How do you think this all ends, folks?

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.

You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ?

TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged

LANDERS: It wasn't though

TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know?

LANDERS: Your own AG said it

TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter

LANDERS: Where's the evidence?

Tell Your Senators: Oppose Markwayne Mullin for DHS Secretary Contact Congress today!

Kristi Noem was an absolute failure at DHS. A complete disgrace. But Trump’s new pick is somehow worse.

So we need everyone on board as loud as possible telling their Senators to vote no on this disaster of a nominee!
