March 3, 2026 About a week before Trump launched Operation Epic Fury, attacking Iran alongside Israel, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine warned that the lack of support from allies and deplete...

My guess would be ice plant.

March 2, 2026 The Economist’s Middle East correspondent Gregg Carlstrom noted that Trump appears to be workshopping the causes for his attacks on Iran and his goals for the war by talking to journalists.

“As the conflagration spreads, taking the lives of now six of our military personnel, the administration is now discovering that the American people would like to know why we are engaged in what appears to be a war of choice.”

Spain Denies Use of Bases for US Forces Involved in War on Iran “Spanish bases are not being used for this operation,” Spain’s foreign minister said.

Spain has denied the use of its military bases to U.S. forces involved in the joint U.S.-Israel war on Iran, including for refueling, objecting to unprovoked attacks that Spanish officials say are a violation of international law.

This is rattling markets and sending oil prices soaring at a time when inflation is already a bigger problem than Trump cares to admit.

February 28, 2026 Early this morning, the U.S.

“Trump’s attack on Iran scorns the will of the people and their constitutional right to decide whether they want to pay for a war with their money and their lives. That disdain for democratic government is also an attack on the United States.”

So if it’s done correctly, the next time anyone goes looking for the point of view of Trump voters, they won’t be able to find anyone willing to admit they ever supported him.

February 27, 2026 On Monday, February 23, Daniel Ruetenik, Pat Milton, and Cara Tabachnick of CBS News reported a newly uncovered document in the Epstein files shows that the U.S.

“Trump is all through the Epstein files, and the clumsy attempt to hide files has only called attention to them. The recent news that the DOJ withheld files about allegations that Trump raped a 13-year-old girl has raised suggestions of an illegal coverup.“

February 26, 2026 It appears the State of the Union was the marker for the White House to launch directly into campaign mode.

Judge Rules ICE’s “Third-Country” Deportations Are Unconstitutional A lawyer for migrants in the case called the ruling “a forceful statement” that the White House has ignored the law.

A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that a policy used by ICE to deport undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. to countries where they are not citizens is an unconstitutional denial of their due process rights.

The scary part about election subversion includes the list of foul characters it comes with. We need to worry not just about Trump himself but those he’s put in key positions. I break it down in today’s piece, link in the comments.
