Radar bases housing key US missile interceptor hit in Jordan and UAE, satellite images show | CNN New satellite images from several key military bases in the Arabian Peninsula suggest that Iran is seeking to degrade air defenses by destroying US-made radars that detect incoming missiles and drones...

Oof. Multiple THAAD radar systems have reportedly been destroyed by Iran. That’s bad.

I’ve also seen some surprise that Russia is providing Iran with targeting data for US forces, but that was expected. We’ve been providing Ukraine with targeting data for 4 years.

Looking at essentially the same HP the Army issued me the past two years. I use it for email, files, and Google. Mac seems cool but I always back off. Oldest has one and uses it for her graphic design work. Youngest has a a high end PC something for engineering.

I need a new laptop. I’ve always had PC’s. Never used Mac. I do have an iPhone. I’m thinking about a Mac but I’m hesitant as everything I have is Windows and Microsoft based.

F Rep. Davidson (R), Foreign Affairs Committee, while deriding the Republicans for trying to determine whether this was a war or not took an unneeded swipe at transgender people by saying it’s like the Democrats trying decide who a women is.

President Donald Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles, is telling his advisers to bring ideas to the Oval Office to lower gasoline prices in the wake of the U.S. attack on Iran, according to two energy industry executives familiar with the conversations.
The White House is "looking under every rock for ideas on improving energy prices, especially gasoline prices," said one of the executives, who was granted anonymity to describe internal administration discussions.

I have an idea. Here’s my idea: We should have had this meeting last week before we started bombing Iran. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

"You're dealing with a lot of lawyers in your own country, I'm sure. You have my permission not to listen to them."

hahaha

No need to indulge in the presumption that this administration's uses of military forceβ€”against supposed narcos or otherwiseβ€”are lawful.

Listening to a State spokesman regarding Spain’s it’s apparent this administration has one set of responses to any question: We are working 24/7 for the/to protect the American people or some version. And if they are snarky they through in a snide swipe at the previous administration.

This objectification of the human costs of war.

W/n last 48 hrs 4 families received notifications that forever changed their lives. 2 more will shortly; their unit is still very much in the fight. It is impractical to expect protection everywhere, but we should expect leaders to talk about the gravity of these losses with sincerity and reverence.

The 1st TSC reports were wrong. The Reserve unit was under the 1st while deployed but all six Soldiers were assigned to the 103rd. None were from Knox.
