I hope you don't truly believe there are only opinions and not facts....!

While this is true, "Iranian girls don't even wear burqas" is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen written about what it is to live in Iran or be a woman in a Muslim country. Does the person who wrote this know what a burqa even IS?

The Unbearable Lightness of Signalgate Nearly a year after a national-security scandal erupted on my iPhone, no one in the Trump administration has faced consequences.

Let's be direct about this. These bombs did not kill "children." They killed little girls.

When you're talking about Trump and violence, the fact that these were young women and girls is not something you can just ignore.

Nine days of war take their toll. We can reverse the damage, if we act now. March 9, 2026

True: "[Trump's war is the cause of] a lot of bad news that is difficult to hear & process."

Also true: "We have agency. We grant the govt legitimacy & power...It is not too late for Congress to begin to exercise oversight of Trump & his illegal war."

Donald Trump Jr. sits on the board of an American drone company with Pentagon contracts.

Eric Trump recently invested in an Israeli drone company.

Don Jr. and Eric just invested in yet another drone company vying to get government contracts.

But Hunter Biden sold a painting.

That the result of this was only going to be worse than what we started with was evident from the beginning. Next step is the younger Khomeini gives Trump an airplane and we make peace while considering Iran as the 51st state /site of Mar-a-lago of the Middle East.

Sick.

If you are one of those people who has not yet read "Sex and World Peace" or "The Hillary Doctrine," you have yet to understand the true power of women and what the world loses without us.

The guy is a despot. why is everyone with any power pretending there's some grand strategy he forgot to tell them?

There was a time I would write about misogynists and war, about men who beat women & men who think they are warrior-heroes, about violence against women and violence in the world.

But I am so, so, so, so, tired.

No. I have always argued the same, because it's true. We have never - despite conspiracy theories - taken oil.

Until this schmuck came along.

He is more off the rails than he has ever been. Anyone who is failing to set the 25th amendment into action has the blood of Iranian children on their hands. That includes the Democrats.
Enough.

Yes, but the only people anyone cares about is Israel/Gaza because Joooz.

It's disgusting how the world ignores what is happening in Ukraine.

Kentucky GOP Rep. Thomas Massie says the action overseas cannot be used as a smokescreen to obscure the revelations in the files.

And we agree. Trump will bomb as many countries as it takes in order to divert our eyes from his criminal past. Don't fall for it.

Leadership is measured by risk shared, not power hoarded. Ukraine’s president stayed in Kyiv while missiles fell and soldiers fought. Contrast that with strongmen who command wars from palaces and golf courses. If war is so righteous, let power taste the same risk.

On Sept 10th, 2025, the flag was lowered 5 hrs after Charlie Kirk was shot.

But for our military who gave the ultimate price in Iran for a pedophile and Felon squatting in our WH? NOTHING!
Remember, Trump said they were losers just a few years ago.

Noem is out.
Markwayne Mullin is in.
Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing except that it means his senate seat is up.
