I don't do YouTube for news. Sorry.

Where would Iran get Tomahawk missiles? The thing about narcissistic personality disordered people is that as they age, their pathological lying becomes more nonsensical.

trump just told the world that Iran somehow fired U.S. Tomahawk missiles at a girls’ school.

It’s either staggering incompetence or a blatant lie about a potential war crime.

A proud American tradition. Like Halliburton.

Also known as "using insider knowledge for war profiteering."

Legless zombies. Oh my.

I heard the audio. He said it.
Lord. What have y'all done.

SEVEN. That’s how many strikes hit near the Iranian girls’ school.

Video shows a tomahawk missile hitting a building next to the school. The kind of “precision” you get when an incompetent administration runs a war on outdated intelligence.

Don’t look away —we should all see the deadly destruction

New Research Details 'Human and Economic Toll' of US Abortion Bans | Common Dreams A Monday report from the Center for Reproductive Rights features various profiles demonstrating "the human and economic toll" of US abortion bans.

Young kids missed the pandemic's school disruptions. Their reading scores are still behind Young students are still struggling to bounce back academically from the pandemic, even though many were babies at the time.

Or it could be that English classes are a joke compared to STEM-focused math classes.

In a time of war with Iran, Americans unite in aggravation over sticker shock at the gas pump It seems that a country divided on many fronts is finding common ground at the gas pumps. There, the cost of the Iran war is hitting Americans squarely in the wallet and aggravating people across the ...

Trump pushes GOP on voting bill, demanding an end to most mail balloting President Donald Trump says he won’t sign any other legislation into law until Congress passes a strict proof-of-citizenship voting bill that he says also must end Americans’ ability to vote by mail.

Here in PA, we've already done our annual sign-up for mail-in ballots. Seems like Trump is so good at stealing elections, mail-in ballots shouldn't concern him. Plus states decide their own elections protocols. Elections include state elections, not just federal. Duh.

Live updates: Hegseth says today will be the 'most intense day of strikes inside Iran' Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said “today will be yet again our most intense day of strikes inside Iran" at a Pentagon news briefing Tuesday as Iran targets Israel and Gulf countries.

English is apparently not Hegseth's native language: "yet again" and "most intense" obviously contradict each other. Trump of course is an unsteadily walking contradiction: get out of Syria and Afghanista, try for the Nobel Peace Prize, attack the Middle East w/o reason.

Every year for about 15 years, I have been getting mailings from St. Joseph's Indian School seeking donations. Each year they send more and more elaborate "gifts." And every year I donate nothing because I don't believe in turning Lakota children into Christians. WTF.

I was better off briefly in the mid-90s. But I'm not sure my thieving narcissistic abusive ex can be blamed on the government. Exactly how hard life is today, however, can be blamed on the GOP. Each and every member.

Elections here don't stop because a war is happening.

Apparently, Lindsey Graham's drunken Fox News bullshit isn't working in the more clear-eyed Middle East.

I demand UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER of the Epstein Files—and then your title of "President of the United States," and your liberty to walk freely in public.

That would be GREAT & ACCEPTABLE.

This weekend’s US clock change is a problem, and there’s a deep divide on how to fix it This is the weekend when clocks move ahead, causing angst, lost sleep and health issues for many. Over the last decade, at least 19 states have passed laws to let them stay in daylight saving time if ...

"Prefer staying on standard time year round? That would mean the sun would be up at 4:11 a.m. in Seattle in June."

And yet people settled there anyway. Get rid of the time changes and go with standard time. I'm sure everyone will adjust.

Life is short, if you aren’t getting shot or blown up you are having a better time than most people, don’t forget that.

Attempted suicides, fights, pain: 911 calls reveal misery at ICE’s largest detention facility The calls to 911 poured in from staff at Camp East Montana, the nation's largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, in its first months of operation in El Paso, Texas.

Shameful. Warehousing people for what purpose? Either deport or release. I don't think warehousing is part of ICE's remit. We need lawsuits brought on behalf of these people.

A $220 million ad blitz and a public split with Trump mark the end of Kristi Noem’s DHS tenure Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has lost her job after criticism over a flashy ad campaign tied to President Donald Trump’s deportation push.

Trump used to talk about people being "fired like a dog." In Kristi's case, I guess that comparison could get dangerous....

😂😂😂 I *love* that.

The US lost a surprising 92,000 jobs last month as the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.4% American employers unexpectedly cut 92,000 jobs last month, a sign that the labor market remains under strain. The unemployment rate blipped up to 4.4%.

Even the dishonest criteria used to "calculate" unemployment rates couldn't make this better. Who on the ground is surprised?

Evidence suggests the deadly blast at an Iranian school was likely a US airstrike Satellite images and videos of an Iranian girls school damaged by large explosions at the start of a U.S.

Fabulous. Said in my most sarcastic and dismayed tone. Trump can't fight a clean war even as well as GW Bush. That's saying something.

Democrats join legal challenge to Trump’s planned 250-foot arch “This is a straightforward issue of who’s in charge,” Sen. Angus King (Ind., Maine) said, citing a law that certain monuments must receive approval from Congress.

One doesn't just get to redesign DC. It was already well-designed. There's no reason for the Brandenburg Gate to be randomly erected. L'Enfant doesn't deserve that.
