U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says

BREAKING NYT:

An ongoing military investigation has determined that the United States is responsible for a deadly Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian elementary school, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the preliminary findings. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

Headlines:

3 cargo ships have been attacked.

The Strait of Hormuz remains choked off.

Reports of some Iranian oil getting through to China.

GCC slowing down oil production due to lack of storage.

Gas prices have gone up for 11 straight days.

Donald Trump is a pedophile.

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs — including nearly two million children.

The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war.

Priorities.

The world would be a better place for future generations without him.

It's difficult to end a war if you don't know why you started it in the first place.

What are the names of the mental institutions and insane asylums and exactly where are they located that he keeps mentioning. Really where are they?

We should always stay afraid. Someone is going to get us. We should never be happy or full of hope with a smile on our face! Sorry, I don't live that way Mr. Johnson.

That is horrible. How dare them.

They have no problem spending a billion dollars a day on war, but fight for every penny when it comes to caring for Veterans.

It was a US strike that killed 165 schoolgirls. Mostly aged 7-12.

While it was likely unintentional, the decision to strike a military target in a densely populated civilian area was not.

Yes, difficult decisions have to be made in war.

I don’t trust this bloodthirsty regime to make good ones.

It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.

Republicans are scared. With the Strait of Hormuz closed, oil prices have soared to over $100 per barrel (from under $70 per barrel 10 days ago.) There’s been a huge spike in gas prices. The WSJ called it “the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s and threatening to derail the global economy.”

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February.

A record number of Americans are withdrawing from their 401ks to cover expenses.

Americans owe $18.5 trillion in debt — an historic high.

Meanwhile, the wealth of America's 935 billionaires soared by $1.5 trillion in 2025.

“Golden Age” for whom?

Fuzzy memories can be her trying to block it out of her mind or she could have been drugged.

Walk into a sandwich shop. It’s regulated for health and safety.

But AI, which will transform the world economically and socially, is completely unregulated. That’s insane.

We need to make certain that AI works for ALL humanity, not just the billionaires who own it.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Trump is losing the American people.

No amount of mainstream or social media gymnastics will get them behind this war, especially as they see more soldiers in caskets and their costs of living spike out of control.
