A completely deranged, swollen, orange, sweaty and disoriented Trump is holding a rally in Kentucky right now for no discernible reason other than absolute panic over the crashing economy, and he can’t even say β€œKentucky” correctly.

⚑️ Ukraine has received about 600 Advanced Patriot missiles since Russia’s full-scale invasion.

By comparison, the US fired 800 in five days against Iran to counter 2,000+ drones and 500+ ballistic missiles. Patriots are among the few systems able to stop Russian strikes on Ukraine’s energy grid.

B-2 stealth bomber flypast video is digital creation – Full Fact A clip has been shared with claims it shows the warplane in the Persian Gulf but it’s not real footage.

A clip circulating on social media claims to show a US B-2 Spirit stealth bomber doing a flypast in the Persian Gulf.

Although these planes have been deployed in the US air campaign against Iran, this video is a digital creation.

Witkoff and Kushner Get an F in Diplomacy Inexperienced and overextended, Trump’s envoys have failed on three fronts.

Any serious examination of the "diplomacy" of Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner comes to one very obvious conclusion: they're in it for private profit, which they exploit the name and reputation of the US to achieve. They have no interest in brokering peace. foreignpolicy.com/2026/03/03/w...

So, people who reported the Facebook account pretending to be me are being told it won't be removed because it isn't breaking community guidelines.

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.

Just like 2020 when Trump downplayed over 100 service members with traumatic brain injuries as β€œheadaches”, and downplaying covid deaths, Trump is never honest with the American people about this if he thinks it makes him look bad. Because Trump is all about Trump. www.cbsnews.com/news/strike-...
