Threat from Iran conflict spreads across Middle East in 72 hours In less than three days, the conflict ricocheted beyond the original targets in Iran, Israel and Iraq to threaten some 300 million civilians across more than a dozen nations.

It took just 3 days for the US to put the lives of 300 million civilians at risk, for reasons the Administration still cannot fully or consistently articulate.

The complete [willful?] idiocy of parents in these cases never ceases to amaze me.

This article is a good reminder that even red states have public health employees that are working hard to prevent catastrophe.

How Trump Keeps Withholding Money After Being Sued 198 Times (Gift Article) Immigration demands for highway dollars, D.E.I. rules for homeless grants: Trump has tried to wield spending to get his way.

Hey what's going on America? The administration isn't following the law and has it on repeat. One branch has said so. Where is Congress? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This was always going to happen with Trump. He was going to thumb his nose at the laws & the courts, especially after years of deliberately disrupting & corrupting them and other institutions and systems into impotence.

The worst candidate for public office.

The High Stakes of Keeping the Strait of Hormuz Open

It's weird to me that

GLOBAL SHIPPING SCREECHES TO A HALT BECAUSE TRUMP DIDN'T LIKE WHAT WAS ON TV

isn't a bigger story. But this is a moment like early March 2020 Covid. If it goes on like this, it's going to affect EVERYONE.

A social media post from Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) states, "The United States Munitions Stockpiles have, at the medium and upper medium grade, never been higher or better - As was stated to me today, we have a virtually unlimited supply of these weapons. Wars can be fought "forever,” and very successfully, using just these supplies (which are better than other countries finest arms!). At the highest end, we have a good supply, but are not where we want to be. Much additional high grade weaponry is stored for us in outlying countries. Sleepy Joe Biden spent all of his time, and our Country's money, GIVING everything to P.T. Barnum (Zelenskyy!) of Ukraine - Hundreds of Billions of Dollars worth - And, while he gave so much of the super high end away (FREE!), he didn't bother to replace it. Fortunately, I rebuilt the military in my first term, and continue to do so. The United States is stocked, and ready to WIN, BIG!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP" The post has 868 ReTruths and 3.19k Likes and is dated Mar 03, 2026, 5:56 AM.

Got to say Trump is proving there is no bottom.

I was just talking about that with a friend the other day who said he keeps thinking there will be a place where Trump draws the line & then he does the so-called 'unthinkable'.

I've always disliked that word as it is a false claim for those with useful foresight....and some people have NO bottom.

Opinion | There Is Nothing Inevitable About a Russian Victory in Ukraine

Almost everything Russia has done in Ukraine has failed. At the staggering cost of 1.2milion Russian casualties and a lot of treasure too. Ending the war requires emphasising Putin's catastrophic failure, as

Facing threatening or deviously deceptive situations, it's wise to refrain from broadcasting such information or explaining what & how you know.

Don't give perpetrators any ammunition you are not prepared to have used against you or your concerns.

Sacrifices must be made; make them count.
