Cranky Boomer, lifetime NYer who knows why Trump got <20% of the vote in his home town the first time. We tried to tell you. Sometimes it's enough if I get it.

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 — way more tolerance for civilian harm.

Trump’s “persecuted” White South African refugees are heading home — saying life in America is worse.

White South Africans are deciding they’d rather live in South Africa — saying the United States has become too expensive, too chaotic, and too dangerous

UPDATE: Trump says Kushner helped convince him to go to war with Iran The disclosure highlights Kushner's massive financial conflicts.

Jared Kushner stands to make millions, if not billions, w/ the US going to war w/ Iran.

A family of grifters, one and all. None of them care how many people will die, how many will be left homeless, how the entire world will be affected.

Mockler: I also find it very ironic that Republicans are so welcoming to any form of bigotry but the moment that bigotry is targeted towards them, they freak the hell out

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...

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

Mark Kelly: We would have to fight a ground war to "totally obliterate" Iran's nuclear capability - we're in this war because one person, Trump, ripped up the Nuclear Deal.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

The good news is that if we lose in Iran and create horror across the region then Jesus comes back and fixes everything. Hegseth Doctrine.

Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.

And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.

• No government security experience
• No law enforcement background
• No intelligence work
• No military service
• Not even a bachelor’s degree

www.mediaite.com/politics/pet... #ProudBlue #USDemocracy Whiskey Pete is spending $22 million on steak and lobster in a single month while Republicans cut food stamps for the poorest of Americans. I can only imagine what Whiskey Pete’s liquor bill is for a month. Put a stop to this shit now.

So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.

Trump Went to War With Iran Because Jared Kushner Is a Fool Donald Trump’s top two negotiators have no clue what they’re doing.

Kushner and Witkoff are ignorant hacks, part 245,699.

"Several nuclear experts have raised questions about the disastrous duo’s technical understanding of uranium enrichment after they presented an assessment of Iran’s Research Reactor that made no sense."

The anti-Muslim hysteria bubbling up over Mamdani reminds me totally of the racist cosplay known as "The Tea Party" that responded to the election of a Black president. (btw, I'm a NYer and so far so good.)

It is so funny to go directly from “we need to stop being elitist, and connect with the vast middle of the country and the things they care about” to “we will be aggressively covering the mayor of New York City nonstop”.

Watching the West defend the Middle East against Iran’s drones reveals a sickening double standard.

Ukrainians have endured years of Russian missiles and shaheds with heavily restricted strike capabilities and insufficient air defense.

Why the hesitation to defend Kyiv?
