Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's response to US troops dying
gramps is banged up
We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.
Feb 13 — White House on Noem, in a statement: “The President continues to have full confidence in the Secretary.”
Mar 6 — White House on Bondi, in a statement: “The President has full faith in the Attorney General.”
Start the clock.
Side-by-side collage of two images. On the left, a man with a beard sits in a legislative chamber seat, leaning forward over a desk with papers. On the right, two men stand behind podiums during what appears to be a debate or TV segment; a pink circle highlights a block or platform under one of the men’s feet.
Trump wants this guy in charge of Homeland Security.
While speaking at the White House about his illegal war with Iran, Trump was spotted with a dark red patch of skin peeking out from under his collar. In a photograph taken by AFP photographer Saul Loeb, a large scab is visible.

Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.
“We never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,” Stiller wrote.
Stocks fell Friday on worries that the economy could become stuck in a worst-case scenario of stagnating growth and high inflation. Oil prices touched their highest levels since 2023 after surging again because of the Iran war. n.pr/4cybcQy
So now both Russia and China are assisting Iran.
Yes, Donald Trump has brought terror to our streets. And has failed to bring down prices.
But at least the economy is doing well! Oh, wait . . .
Last 14 months of Biden's term:
+1.74m jobs
First 14 months of Trump's term:
150,000 jobs
(total! for the whole 14 months!)

The U.S. economy lost jobs in 0 of the 48 months Joe Biden was president. It has lost jobs in 6 of the 14 months of Trump's second term.
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
About a month ago, California gas prices — adjusted for inflation — were lower than when Gavin Newsom took office.
Now Trump’s war with Iran will push them back over $5 a gallon.
Donald Trump is insisting that the United States is secretly evacuating citizens stranded in the Middle East—but multiple reports indicate they have been left on their own. trib.al/IVHRVem
On the missing Epstein files: It's not JUST that DOJ is still withholding a bunch of pages re allegation he raped a teenager. It's that they only released duplicates (those sent to Ghislaine in discovery), raising questions if the originals still exist.

you cant teach this. either you have it or you don't.
Barack Obama honoring Jesse Jackson: Because of his courage, his audacity, that that two decades later, a young black senator from Chicago's South Side would even be taken seriously as a candidate for the presidential nomination.
Obama is so good. Miss this man.
The lawsuit filed by two dozen attorneys general seeks to invalidate Trump’s new, 10 percent global tax on imports. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/us/politics/states-lawsuit-trump-tariffs.html
Republicans are pushing DOJ to bring criminal charges against Cassidy Hutchinson for spilling the beans on Donald Trump's Jan 6 shenanigans.
This is all about creating a chilling effect on anyone in the administration who is *currently* witnessing unethical/illegal behavior.
Trump’s dictatorial fantasy of rearranging other countries’ governments at will. First Venezuela. Then Iran. Today Cuba. This is after remarks at the WH yesterday that once he’s done in Iran, it’s ‘only a matter of time’ before Cuba falls. Now he says, “Cuba is gonna fall pretty soon…”
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
Obama: Every day you wake up to things you just didn’t think were possible. Each day we’re told by those in high office to fear each other. Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated, and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength.
Russia is helping Iran kill American troops.
Betcha feckless Donald *still* won't criticize his hero Vladimir. Because he doesn't care.
