Someday, the whole world is going to know why Lindsey Graham did a 180 after golfing with Donald Trump in 2017.

It would be wonderful if that day were today.

Another word you might use for it is "looting".

"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

Correct me if I'm wrong...
Aren't raping children and bombing a school in another country killing over 100 young girls considered criminal offenses in America?

If this isn't abuse and fraud, I don't know what is.

We have no government right now.

This is what happens when you don't have a government.
(you get abused)

Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.

Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)

Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement β€” way more tolerance for civilian harm.

Imagine how different everything would be had the U.S. enthusiastically embraced renewable energy back when Carter put solar panels on the White House or when James Hansen first testified about climate change before Congress in 1988. For one thing, over 150
Iranian schoolgirls would still be alive.

There are more instances of United States Citizens being detained by ICE than there are of illegal immigrants voting in elections.

This is the guy who likes to downplay non-fatal injuries suffered by US service members in combat.

The Democratic Party is directly enabling the war by praising the assassination of Iranian leaders, refusing to condemn the aggression, and approving massive military funding.

Neguse on Noem: Clearly the president was embarrassed by the corruption and the fraud β€” the self-dealing that we exposed during the course of this hearing. But I also think he was perhaps envious of it.

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.

They know that the American people do not want a war

"Plaintiffs provided numerous videos, which were received in evidence and unambiguously show DHS officers spraying OC Spray directly into the faces of peaceful and nonviolent protesters engaged in, at most, passive resistance and discharging tear gas and firing pepper-ball munitions into crowds of peaceful and nonviolent protestors," Simon wrote, using the term "OC Spray" to refer to pepper spray.
"Defendants' conduct - physically harming protestors and journalists without prior dispersal warnings - is objectively chilling."

Has anyone pointed out to ICE agents that if they're arresting people solely to collect a bonus, they're not law enforcement officers. They're bounty hunters.

I look forward to all of them losing their jobs and being blacklisted from serving in law enforcement.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Frankly, if this comes as any surprise then you really need to start paying attention.

The war is not over. Donald Trump is a demonic pedophile that is threatening Iran with more β€œDeath, Fire, and Fury” unless they do exactly as he says. He needs to be removed from office immediately and sent to the International Criminal Court for massacring 170 school children.

Yesterday, shortly after his conversation with Putin, Trump stated that the United States would lift part of the sanctions on Russia’s oil sector and on several other countries until the crisis is resolved.

He added that the sanctions might not need to be reintroduced afterward.

Please understand the NYT is very different to its past self. I can't read any articles from it anymore, knowing full well, it will be completely biased to the point of it being pointless. I had a paid subscription and cancelled. It is trash and will remain trash for me for all time. Irrevocably.

Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
