Do you know anyone in the Middle East right now?

It's scary.

It's like a scene out of a disaster movie. The worse thing is that the Americans there are getting almost no help from our government.

Some desperate people are paying up to $232,000 for tickets on chartered flights out of Dubai.

Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.

Over half goes to private defense contractors.

This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of β€” on steroids.

The White House meeting comes as Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg has been leading Pentagon work in recent days on a supplemental budget request of around $50 billion that could be released as soon as Friday, one of the people said. The new money would pay for replacing the weapons used in recent conflicts including those in the Middle East.
The figure is preliminary and could change.

Glad this will haunt her forever. She thought the dog killing story would make her seem tough. It's really difficult to be more out of touch, but Noem continually proves she excels at it.

Its a wild irony that the people that use AI also somehow think they're "smarter" than everyone else.

Yes, it's a cult.
For all of his faults, Dan Crenshaw was a decorated navy seal with five tours of combat duty. Lost his eye to an IED.
He called out some of the more obvious GOP lies, like the 2020 election being stolen. This made him unacceptable to MAGA, who expect total fealty to the party line.

Good plan, there’s no way that the US would ever betray Kurds who fought on their behalf, or that Turkey would be upset by and seek to frustrate any US-backed Kurdish forces, or that an invasion from Iraq would trigger Iranian nationalist opposition. None of those things have ever happened.

Good news!

The Virginia Supreme Court ruled Wednesday, for the second time, that voters can decide whether the state can redraw its congressional map β€” clearing the way for a referendum that, if successful, could help counter GOP gerrymanders nationwide. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The IRIS Dena, a prized destroyer in the Iranian Navy, had
participated in an international naval exercise in India last month. The ship had been making its way back toward Iran from Visakhapatnam, a city in India where the joint exercise ended on Feb. 25. The United States was among the many participants in the
drills.

so the US Navy fired on and sank a vessel returning home from a joint exercise that the US Navy also participated in ... is that skating kinda close to the line of perfidy? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/w...
