I Was a US Intelligence Analyst. Here's What a Ground Invasion of Iran Could Look Like The Trump admin has floated three possible ground operation plans it claims would be 'small.' But in reality, Harrison Mann writes, they all risk dragging the US into a forever war in Iran.

Musk wins again. Mississippi regulators gave xAI permits to build out a power plant in Southaven with 41 natural gas-burning (aka methane burning) turbines. Residents and environmental advocates have objected due to air pollution and noise pollution... More at @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2026/03/10/e...

America Has Already Lost the War in Iran As I watched scores of panic-stricken fathers in Iran, bloodying their hands, desperately tearing through the hulking rubble entombing their children, I grieved deeply.

We have lost the war to ensure that we did not place our nation’s fate into the jittery hands of a classless, bottom-feeding, race-baiting, empty husk of a human being, whose eight decades on this planet have not yielded one noble impulse or benevolent act.

Met a young Brit flying to LAX to take a road trip with friends through the American southwest for two weeks. He asked if I had any suggestions.

I said in all seriousness: β€œDon’t get detained by ICE or Border Patrol agents.”

I woke to 25 new blocks after I posted a plea for people to vote, so let me be clear.
I don't give a fuck what ideology you claim...
If you are actively discouraging people from voting, telling them it won't matter, and that nothing will ever change...
You are an ally of fascism.
Full Fucking Stop.
