Good thing everyone involved is only in a position of power because of merit

U.S. Officials Say Iran Is Laying Mines in the Strait of Hormuz

Well, I know this is a surprise but the thing he said wasn't gonna happen has happened. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/w...

Stephen Miller complaining about the UK finally eliminating heredity nobility from their legislature is a perfect encapsulation of how perverse it is to have these people in charge during the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

The political culture of the contemporary GOP is indistinguishable from that of the school shooter community

the US operation in Iran

16 and Counting: Oil and Cargo Ships Are Growing Targets in War With Iran More than a dozen oil tankers and cargo ships have been attacked in the Persian Gulf since the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran began nearly two weeks ago, a New York Times analysis shows.

At least 16 oil tankers and cargo ships have been attacked in the Persian Gulf since the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran began nearly two weeks ago, a New York Times analysis shows. Iran has claimed responsibility for several of the attacks.

Binance sues Wall Street Journal over reporting on Iranian sanctions Journal reported that cryptocurrency exchange shut down internal investigation into transactions with network funding terror groups

I am always perplexed by 1) what the crypto industry SAYS about its desire for legitimacy and then 2) what it DOES in direct contradiction to that:

"WSJ reported that crypto exchange shut down internal investigation into transactions funding terror groups..."

Elon Musk's X Rots Your Brain Data indicates that Elon Musk's X algorithms indisputably drive users into right wing propaganda rabbit holes from which they may not be able to untether themselves.

this is a radical position but I believe that if you are a person of integrity you should not be using far right wing propaganda websites owned by sociopaths

So to review: Oil > $100 a barrel, ~30% increase at pump. Mortgages >6%. We replaced one Supreme Leader with his more hardline son, whose whole family we killed. We murdered ~160 girls. Everybody in world but Bibi is pissed at us. Spent more in 1 week on war than USAID costed for 6 months.

Look who has some cards:

* SAUDI ARAMCO IN TALKS TO BUY UKRAINIAN DRONES TO PROTECT OIL FIELDS -- WSJ

* ARAMCO IS TALKING TO UKRAINIAN COMPANIES SKYFALL AND WILD HORNETS -- WSJ

Curious about the "highly educated, female voters" who work at Palantir... and wonder why they don't go work elsewhere, for a CEO who isn't completely losing touch with reality.

UFC Fighters to Train FBI Agents in ‘Historic Seminar’ This Week: We’ll ‘Be Even Better Prepared to Protect the American People,’ Kash Patel Says UFC fighters will head to Quantico, Va. this week to train FBI agents and students in what FBI director Kash Patel is calling a "historic seminar."

We are a nation of morons, embracing and elevating the most ridiculous coterie of submorons to lead us from the last shards of the American Century into the deepest chasms of ridiculous, absurdist moronity.

This is unbelievable even as farce.

It's unsurprising that some people think this way, but an absolute failure that they have such influence.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

Anyone who has ever studied any military history of the past 150 years learns this as Lesson One.

(This group notably excludes Hegseth, Vance, Rubio, Trump.)

Sort of love that Spanish news just loops stock video of Trump dancing around like a buffoon while the talking heads do serious US political analysis.

@audacityofdespair.bsky.social

It is interesting to me* how this total military, geopolitical, & economic omnishambles is not being covered in the press with remotely the same fierce EPIC DISASTROUS FAILURE urgency that Joe Biden’s not 100% surgically clean withdrawal from 🇦🇫 was covered 🤔

[*It is not remotely interesting to me]

This is an actual post from the official White House account. We’re being trolled by fifteen-year-old boys playing computer games.

Kash Patel Confirms UFC Fighters Will Train FBI Agents This Week, Calling It A “Historic Opportunity” "I’m thrilled to announce this historic seminar between the FBI and the UFC at Quantico," said the FBI director in a statement released by the UFC.

Ah, yes, American Exceptionalism: the Palantir edition.

Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, Jane Addams, FDR, MLK, etc would all be so proud.

Avoiding all products from co's led by amoral nuts takes work, but Palantir/Thiel/Karp empire is a good place to start.

The word is "cover up." The Times has found email proof that Kash Patel's FBI combed the Epstein files to protect Trump and 14 others.
