β€˜Titanic’ statue of Trump and Epstein on the Mall draws praise, scorn The statue, depicting them embracing on a copy of the Titanic bow, is the third placed on the Mall by the artists depicting a connection between Trump and Epstein.

There's a new Trump-Epstein statue on the National Mall.

It's an enormous statue, spray-painted gold, of Trump embracing Epstein in a reenactment of that famous scene from "Titanic."

... $600 billion to the Pentagon’s annual budget, for a whopping $1.5 trillion in the next fiscal year.

"It’s an astronomical tally for a president who returned to office pledging to end wars, not start them."

How Trump and His Advisers Miscalculated Iran’s Response to War

NEW: Before the Iran War, Trump ignored warnings that Iran could retaliate across the region and stop oil shipments. Now, with energy markets in chaos, some aides are pessimistic about the lack of a strategy to end the war. But they haven't told Trump. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...

Exclusive: U.S. dismissed Ukraine deal for anti-Iran drone tech last year Snubbing Ukraine's offer ranks as one of the U.S.'s biggest tactical miscalculations before the war, officials say.

EXCLUSIVE: 7 months ago, Ukraine tried to sell the U.S. their battle-proven technology for downing Iranian-made drones.

The Trump administration dismissed the Ukrainians, only to reverse course last week after more-than-expected Iranian drone strikes.

It is not a question of polls. It is not a question of politics. It is a question of morality and legality and constitutional obligation. Every member of the Congress of the United States takes an oath of office to uphold the laws and Constitution of the United States of America.

Trump is failing the very Americans who elected him, we need leaders who serve all of our great nation, not just themselves and their donors.

US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, according to a watchdog report

I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Jesus, Japan’s Nikkei index is down over 4,000 points, over 7%

South Korea’s KOSPI is down 8% and hit a circuit breaker.

Tomorrow is gonna be brutal, but it will probably also eventually make Trump TACO.

He’s also sending Witkoff and Kushner to Israel on Tuesday.

He’s going to declare victory and leave.

This is why the US engaging in a regime change operation is almost always a bad idea, but particularly under this administration.

Taking his ball and going home now will create another insurgency in the Middle East.
