I don't know, but I guess it bothers me some that the President of the United States posted on social media that it is his great honor to be killing people. 🤷‍♂️

BREAKING:

WASHINGTON (AP) - All 6 crew aboard US KC-135 refueling aircraft that crashed in Iraq are dead, US military says.

That's funny, I could have sworn he said something about not needing Royal Navy vessels because the war was already won.
You broke it Don, you fix it.

‘We Would Be Entering a Completely Different World’ What happens if oil hits $200 a barrel?

“If the strait remains closed for even a month…sustained higher oil prices could plunge the world into a recession, raise borrowing costs, alter the outcome of ongoing wars, and shift the balance of global-power competition in favor of Russia and China”
www.theatlantic.com/economy/2026...

At a time when this country desperately needs a well-informed, rational administration acting in the best interests of the United States, we have one that is quite literally incapable of making rational decisions in the country’s best interest.

I wonder if there was any way for them to foresee it would happen?

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

"Don't worry, we'll soon have the press saying only what we tell them to say!" (... and the clocks struck thirteen...)

"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength." -George Orwell's '1984'

“Mission accomplished!”

(Just pls don’t ask what the mission was 🤷🏼 )

Maybe he should trade places. . .🤡

I used to know this guy.. total narcissist. I once asked him, "how do you live with all that you have done to hurt people?" His reply was simple, "I just convince myself I didn't do it, and therefore, I didn't do it." Remind you of anyone?

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?

Morning, Foxy and all!

Pentagon Tells Congress First Week of Iran War Cost More Than $11.3 Billion

Pentagon officials told lawmakers in a closed-door briefing that they estimated the cost of the war against Iran had exceeded $11.3 billion — in the first six days alone, according to three people familiar with the briefing.

Children killed, a school turned into a graveyard: even in wartime, we can’t accept this | Gordon Brown There are rules and world leaders must insist they be honoured in practice and in spirit. After this atrocity in Iran, a more effective tribunal for crimes against children is essential, says former p...

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

There is never any money for food, for housing, for healthcare or anything good.

But they can all of a sudden spend billions per day on wars.

PER DAY!!!

"Covid will be over in two weeks. Gone by Easter"
"We're signing a health care plan within two weeks"
"They’re dying, Russians & Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. I’ll have that done — I’ll have that done in 24 hours"

Based on his record, this isn’t ending anytime soon.

Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"

The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens.

U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says

BREAKING NYT:

An ongoing military investigation has determined that the United States is responsible for a deadly Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian elementary school, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the preliminary findings. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

Bier: "Over the last 30 years, we looked at all the government budgets -- federal, state, and local combined. Immigrants reduce deficits by $14.5 trillion."

I can’t do emotion so I’ll leave it to others.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
