Whiskey Pete doesn't actually know what "no quarter" means, it's just something he heard when he watched the Pirates of the Caribbean and thought it sounded tough and pirate-like. Avast, Pete!

Oil tankers burning in the Gulf(s), oil at $100+, triple-digit temps coming to California: perfect day to declare a Fatwa on electric vehicles!

Henceforth please remove all depictions of war crimes, sexual assault allegations, white nationalist tattoos, drunkenness and financial impropriety from your photos of Whiskey Pete. Thank you for your attention to this matter, etc. etc.

Pentagon bars press photographers over β€˜unflattering’ Hegseth photos Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s staff took issue with photos taken in a rare briefing last week and decided to shut out press photographers from two subsequent news conferences.

In defense of photojournalists, it is very hard to make war criminals handsome & photogenic. wapo.st/3OZLeeY

Official map from NOAA depicting the relative rank of winter 2025-2026 temperatures at a county level across the contiguous U.S. Many counties in the western and central U.S. are depicted in dark red color, signifying record-warmest winter. All other counties in the west and central U.S. are depicted in dark orange colors, signifying a "near record warm" rank.

The official NOAA stats out this week confirm that winter 2025-26 was the warmest on record across a huge portion of the western and central U.S., which has contributed to extremely low mountain snowpack & worsened the CO River crisis. Meanwhile, record March heat is in forecast.

Clearly, Iran was sold the Tomahawk missile by George Soros, who installed Dominion voting machine software into it before Hunter Biden gave them the coordinates for the girls school.

…I just don’t know enough about it.

People are saying.

It’s something that I was told is under investigation…

β€˜A very dangerous person’: alarm as Pete Hegseth revels in carnage of Iran war Critics say brash, bombastic Fox News host out of his depth to guide US military through murky new Middle East conflict

"I wouldn’t feel safe leaving Pete Hegseth in charge of putting together a DoorDash order."

We just torpedoed a warship for the first time since WWII but, hey, this is a special military operation, not a war.

Four people, with their hands up, standing behind 2 people sitting. 

The four people standing are US citizens who were detained, the two people are families whose family members were killed by migrants.

Jayapal is now introducing 4 US citizens who were detained for at least 6 hours merely for observing ICE.

Kristi Noem sent a much-delayed list of USCit detained by ICE yesterday. None of these four were on the list.

That's where it gets very handy to say God is "working through you." And when all else fails, all you have to say is "He works in mysterious ways." (Although their "He" doubles as Trump.)

The real story is that foreign governments try to interfere with elections in the U.S. all the time. In 2020 and 2024, the U.S. had private and public infrastructure in place to catch them, call them out, and mitigate the damage. Now, those mechanisms are gone, intentionally undermined and dismantled by the Trump administration. Instead of securing our elections, it seems that the current administration would prefer to exploit the spectre of β€œforeign interference” to justify its own *federal interference* in the upcoming midterm election.

Yesterday, Trump tried to justify the attack on Iran with rehashed claims of "election interference" from 2020 and 2024. Here's my 2 cents on what that was all about:

A mad king's illegal war on Iran is a cry for regime change...in Washington | Will Bunch Democracy really did die in darkness as Donald Trump's unconstitutional war on Iran stamps America as a dictatorship.

No wonder Trump went to war with Iran in the dead of night, with the Capitol empty, most Americans soundly asleep

This war is illegal. Full stop. The worst abuse of presidential power in American history aims to cement a dictatorship on U.S. soil
