Iran knocked out one of the sophisticated radar systems providing 'eyes" for the THAAD anti-missile battery at PSAB a few days ago. That US war planners appear not to have planned for Iran's counter-sensor campaign is absolutely wild incompetence and hubris.

Hegseth ignored military officials when he slashed offices that limit risk to civilians The Defense secretary’s decision to cut offices that mitigate civilian harm faces renewed attention as the Pentagon investigates a strike that killed hundreds of Iranian children.

“The revelation of previous backlash also follows Hegseth’s announcement this week that he would further cut the lawyers who advise commanders of an operation’s legality, known as judge advocate generals.” www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

“But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.”

BBC World Service - The Global Story, Is a peace deal with Putin possible? Top Putin expert Fiona Hill on the chances of a Ukraine peace deal

Fiona Hill clearly explains that Trump and Putin will never be able to bilaterally negotiate a peace deal. Trump is played over and over again by a much smarter Putin, and Trump simply does not understand how Putin thinks. Trump wants the credit of a peace deal so he can boast about it.

The former Donald Trump adviser on an escalating crisis and the prospect of world war

Lindsay Graham is practically salivating at the idea of sending other people’s kids off to fight and die halfway around the world.

Totally unhinged.

Judge Throws Out Justice Department Subpoenas to Federal Reserve — The Wall Street Journal ‘Abundant evidence’ exists that the subpoenas were designed to ‘harass and pressure Powell’ to yield to Trump, ruling says

Pirro loses another one after judge throws out subpoenas “designed to pressure the federal reserve”.
Judge Boasberg called the subpoenas improper and an attempt to bully Fed Chairman Powell to lower interest rates as Trump wants.

Makes you think this move was to keep from hearing anything that might impede Hegseth’s mission of slash and burn. It’s as if there’s no perceived need for experts because everything is a target. All at once.

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES

DAY 13 MARCH 2025

THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES
TRUMP'S OPERATION EPIC FAILURE

13 Great American Soldiers now dead
Thousands of innocent people dead
Trump to send 2500 Marines

TRUMP HAS NO VALUE FOR HUMAN LIFE

The audacity of Trump now starting to GRIFT on his war
Outrage

Donald Trump is notorious for filing lawsuits at the drop of a hat. He's filed over 4,000 of them. Many for defamation.

But Donald *will not* sue Ted Lieu for defamation. Why? He's been told by lawyers that in defamation actions, truth is an absolute defense.

lol
An example of #doublespeak - contradicting statements in the same paragraph.
Not even our Navy will escort tankers across that Strait. But even at face value it’s ridiculous to claim the Strait is safe when it obviously isn’t.
Taking on F47’s hallmark answer of “both can be true”.

But when asked about casualties and wounded, Hegseth deferred to the General who couldn’t answer with numbers except to say “many wounded were put back in action “.

Hegseth is spending the opening moments of his press conference criticizing the news media and praising David Ellison for taking over CNN.

No word of the 4 service members who died in Iraq yesterday

You can tell the war isn’t going Trump’s way.

Pete Hegseth is spending a lot of his press conference attacking the media for accurate coverage.

Everything is for sale in the Trump democracy.

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

So what did Democracy Unmuted want? The overview included creators urge their audiences to "look past viral personalities," and then to trash Abughazaleh for alleged shortcomings. Abughazaleh says the talking points are "false and defamatory."

Sweeping guilty verdicts in the federal Prairieland antifa cases. These cases were an effort by the Trump admin to prosecute anti-fascists as terrorists and further, prosecute dissent. This Texas trial was a test of his power. He won. This laid out the case and stakes: www.ms.now/news/antifa-...

Did we hear from our Republican Senators about our native sons killed in Iraq?

Yeah. This didn't age well.

I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

What stands out to me is the arrogance. The surefootedness that this was the correct thing to do despite no experience in government. The presumption that they were entitled to use their own uninformed judgement to cut funds to things that they don’t personally value www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...

Should we expect a spike in bone spur diagnosis’s from the millionaire and billionaire classes? Or perhaps since transgendered individuals can’t be in the US military there will be a rush for that diagnosis by the wealthy?
