Trump’s Iran War is not going to be ending anytime soon. And calling for a country to surrender unconditionally means it is unarguably a war that requires a declaration of war.

Today’s jobs report is even worse than losing 92,000 jobs last month in February:

β€œWith these revisions, employment in December and January combined is 69,000 lower than previously reported.”

So much for Donald Trump being the β€œJobs President,” MAGA.

Say it plain: This is a terrible jobs report.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, nearly double the expected loss of 50,000. It’s the third payroll decline in the past five months.

πŸ“ŒNote: This is one of the worst monthly payroll drops since Covid.

Maria Bartiromo's spin about the terrible February jobs report would make anchors in Pyongyang blush -- here she is blaming the weather and saying "we need to see these tankers go and not be afraid to travel through the Strait of Hormuz"

Here's the point to remember about the brutal negative revisions in today's job market report: They aren't saying the labor market showed green shoots that withered. It's saying that there never were any green shoots. They were an illusion.

Virginia Giuffre posted publicly: "I am not suicidal. Too many people with bad intentions want to silence me."

Her death was ruled a suicide on April 25, 2025. She was 41.
documents referencing Giuffre. Her testimony named names no one else would.

RIP Virginia

Release the Epstein files!

MAGA UNDER FIRE After SHOCKING RACIST Texts Are LEAKED YouTube video by Katie Phang

Young Republicans repeatedly getting busted for group chats filled with violent racism, anti-Semitism, & misogyny. The latest involves the Miami GOP Sec. & the Pres. of Turning Point USA FIU.

I’ve got the horrid details & thoughts on why the GOP’s future is in the gutter.

Trump's War If Trump campaigned as a President of peace, he has governed as the opposite

Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory Iranian attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. β€œI guess,” he says. β€œWe plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will.”
