Why is the Trump administration so worried about its depleted munitions stockpile?

Maybe because it keeps going abroad in search of monsters to destroy.

Something to think about the next time he brays about the national deficit

For your America First scorecard

Meanwhile Trump & Co. promise more casualties and refuse to rule out "boots on the ground"

"Successful" seems to be the best possible word for this best possible scenario

Gabbard was in the Situation Room during the first strikes. In 2020 she was selling "No War With Iran" T-shirts

Among the mysteries future historians will have to piece together is how any of these people continued to show their faces in public

Probably nothing to see here from The Most Transparent Administration in History!™

Tbf, labor stats are complicated. You should account for demographics, unemployment rate, post-COVID dynamics, counterfactuals, etc.

Who knows. Maybe the labor market is strong in the final analysis.

My point here is only, again, how far from reality is our man at the wheel.

“One year ago, our country was dead. We were absolutely dead. Our country was ready to fail. Totally fail. Now we’re the hottest country anywhere in the world.” – President Donald Trump, 12/17/2025

This follows on the heels of an underperforming 2025

"We’re respected more now than we’ve ever been respected." - Trump, 1/11/2026

If this government is so against vaccines, how did it get its immunity to telling the truth?

This case involves another Minnesota shooting. The agent fired “to defend his life” from a weapons assault that we now know never happened.

What's the problem? As the President said when people first complained about the economic costs of tariffs, just buy fewer pencils and dolls.

The unfathomable Minnesota transcript that must be read, as it tells the reality of America today "I am not white, as you can see," Julie Le — a government lawyer — told a federal judge on Tuesday. "And my family's at risk as any other people that might get picked up too ..."

Judge asks why the govt isn't complying with court orders to release the wrongfully detained.

Govt lawyer goes off that she's overworked "pulling teeth" to get her "client" to comply.

"The system sucks. This job sucks."

Wow!

In the spirit of bipartisanship, Democrats should do everything they can to help Republicans execute their subpoenas

The Most Transparent Administration in History!™ strikes again!

I believe the technical term for this sort of behavior is “very stable genius”

Bloomberg (1/29/2026): "The regional premium for aluminum delivered to the US market climbed above $1 a pound for the first time as US President Donald Trump’s tariffs make the metal more expensive in the domestic market."

Thankfully we don't need aluminum for anything.

Fox News(!): "The survey shows if the election were today, 52% of voters would back the Democratic candidate in their House district and 46% the Republican.

[52%] is the highest recorded for either party; the previous high was 50% for the Democrats in October 2017."
