NEW: Iran has begun laying mines in the strait of Hormuz. Would Trump like to send Brain Kilmeade to "show some guts" and captain a tanker through there now? www.cnn.com/world/live-n...
Rep. Randy Fine. "I have one word -- deport. The fact of the matter is Mamdani hates America. He should be stripped of his citizenship and deported."
"Everybody apparently forgot 9/11 who voted for him," the Newsmax host replies.
Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.
Why...did CNN do this
Reform UK on the war -
9 March, Robert Jenrick: ‘this war needs to come to an end as soon as possible….that’s why Nigel Farage immediately ruled out suggestions that UK might deploy boots on the ground. Nor do we see why British aircraft should become involved in offensive action.’ Daily Telegraph
28 February Reform leader, Nigel Farage ‘ The Prime Minister needs to change his mind on the use of our military bases and back the Americans in this vital fight against Iran!’ Post on X
8 March, Reform Deputy Leader Richard Tice,: ‘We wld be helping the Americans and the Israelis in any way they saw appropriate’ GB News

A dodgy photoshop of LBC Presenter Henry Riley over Woddy from Toy Story, and the logo changed to "Riley's Reform Roundup"
I heard "Riley's Reform Roundup", and all I could think of was "Toy Story 2"
Dodgy Photoshop Time, then! Sorry, @henryriley1.bsky.social

New in PN: The worst cabinet in history
"Even having one or two cabinet members as disastrous as Noem, Hegseth, Kennedy, or Bondi would be a stain on any administration; putting them all in one govt has created a kind of Bizarro World 1927 Yankees, an all-star team of incompetence and malevolence."
Q: President Trump said he had a really good call with President Putin yesterday. Will Russia be aiding us in this conflict?
HEGSETH: The president maintains strong relationships with world leaders, which creates opportunities and options for us in very dynamic ways
Marching orders are given. "That school had it coming." See it parroted by influencers and media outlets.
Hegseth: "The mullahs are desperate and scrambling. Like the terrorist cowards they are, they fire missiles from schools and hospitals."
Hegseth: "I see in the media banners that say, 'War expanding' or 'War spreading' -- it's actually the opposite. It's actually quite contained."
"Shame has to change sides, Pelicot says. And maybe that should apply not just to rape and sexual assault but to war crimes too." @carolecadwalla.bsky.social broligarchy.substack.com/p/is-this-th...
So......no
Trump is not the unfortunate victim of job “losses”; he is destroying jobs, especially manufacturing jobs. And in savaging medical and scientific grants and going to war with universities, Trump is further undercutting one of America’s greatest sources of long-term growth and productivity
Really, did we “lose” jobs, as in “misplace” them, like car keys or reading glasses? And for whom was this unexpected? Let’s get real. The jobs were not “lost,” and it is not as much of a shocker as legacy outlets made it out to be.

🎯 @bjennings90.bsky.social on the mark as always.
My cat Roscoe and me in my garden (in 2016, not 1969). I am sitting on a wall wearing an afghan coat, pattered flares and a wide-brimmed felt hat and staring at a plastic bag that has been caught in a nearby hedge. Roscoe is wearing her signature black and white cardigan. There is a walking boot between us, filled with succulents. This used to be Roscoe's but was retired from its intended use when, at the age of 23, she surprisingly went up half a shoe size.
1969 was a wild and unforgettable time for both of us: the year the band broke up and we hit the road as a duo with no definite plans other than achieving a variety of transcendental states through our complete, uncompromising devotion to music.
I'd like to humbly propose that Trump finance this war personally, preferably with Kushner and Witkoff. For my part, I would even be willing to forego 10% of my tariff refund if he did.
(1/2) In case you missed it, it's very much worth noting that days ago, Virginia passed a bill banning schools from teaching that Jan 6 was peaceful, or that the 2020 election was stolen.
The bill passed mostly on party-line votes, and Gov. Spanberger is expected to sign it.
The two things that resonated with me the most during Trump's presser today, are:
1. We do not want mutilization of our children.
2. The people we blew up are now walking around with no legs.
DHS made a massive purchase of 2,500 new custom marked ICE vehicles that are now sitting in parking garages because nobody wants to use them: “ICE has never had marked vehicles. We don’t want to use these - we can’t.” www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/immig...

Best Twitter riposte of the day.
Two teenage brothers and mariachi stars who visited the White House last summer were released with their family on Monday from an ICE detention center in South Texas. Rep. Joaquin Castro led a delegation of Democrats to the center to press for the release.
Must note: it was a complete coward move to install me in the dark of night with no ceremony. The brave men and women I honor deserve much better, and Americans of good will are going to continue agitating until it’s done right.
They can’t stand that this society has been multi cultural and multi ethnic since before the USA was the USA. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crispus...
Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.
