BREAKING NEWS: Reporter Calls Out Trump's Lie Directly To His Face Really American | Tuesday Morning, March 10, 2026

“You just suggested that Iran got its hands on a U.S. Tomahawk and BOMBED ITS OWN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL on the first day of the war.

You are the only person in your government saying this.

WHY ARE YOU THE ONLY PERSON SAYING THIS?”

PEDOrump’s answer:
“Because I just don’t know enough about it.” 😲🙄🤬

Still one of my favorite songs, especially when I'm driving and can belt it out at the top of my lungs and not frighten anyone.

I still say that someone out there has a copy of the full, un-redacted files. Whoever they are, they need to release them ALL!

March 9, 2026 It has become clear that Trump had no plan in Iran other than to strike it, knock out the leaders he didn’t like, and hope the Iranian people would rise up and put in place new leaders he could deal w...

"Kiley says that going forward, he will “have to consider” every bill “on its own merits.” As if we didn't already know that they were't considering anything on its merit, this statement proves it. They are only about themselves. No one else matters.

The pride and power of Iowa State basketball's Audi Crooks Audi Crooks hears the haters. But Iowa State's star inherited resilience from her mom and joy from her dad. Her high-scoring game is the ultimate counterpoint.

Spent some time in Iowa and went long on Iowa State’s Audi Crooks. Despite her dominance, she deals with a lot of negativity, especially about her body. But no matter what is said about her, Audi Crooks wears a smile. www.espn.com/womens-colle...

March 8, 2026 Yesterday, President Donald J.

"Cowboys in white hats were always on the side of right" I never realized how often white supremacist symbols have been popping up in the media. White hats, white robes, white hoods. Now, of course, those have been replace with the red hat. I hate it.

Yeah, but a man's balls are the weakest part of their bodies. The only reason we use that as a metric for bravery is because only men have them and only men consider bravery and balls to be the most important thing. It should be Boobs, no boobs. When a woman gets hit there, we shake it off and go.

NPR, I'm disappointed with how complimentary this article is to Britt. She is neither bipartisan nor a dealmaker. She didn't convince Kaine to betray his party. That was Schumer's doing. There is not one good Republican in power anywhere in the country. Stop capitulating to this regime.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
