Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

At odds with Europe: Why is Spain saying β€˜no’ to US-Israeli war on Iran? Spain's socialist president is locked in a war of words with Washington, which has threatened to cut trade ties.

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΈSpain is leading the way: the leftist government was the first in the EU to condemn Israel’s war on Gaza as β€œgenocide.” Now Spain is the most vociferous critic of the U.S. and Israel’s war on Iran, and refuses to help Drumpf ship arms to supply the conflict. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...

Iranian Girls’ Elementary School Massacre Was a Double-Tap Strike, Medics Say The tactic involves bombing a target and then launching a second strike meant to kill survivors and first responders.

Paramedics said last weekend’s bombing of an elementary in southern Iran was a so-called β€œdouble-tap” airstrike β€” a common tactic used by US, Israeli, and Russian forces by which attackers bomb a target and then follow up with a second strike meant to kill survivors and first responders.

Now Sen. Steve Daines is retiring just 5 minutes left until the filing deadline. His favored candidate, US Attorney Kurt Alme, filed for election just afterward, robbing GOP voters of a primary election.

Spain said nope. Cause they don’t want no smoke with any other countries. They don’t want bombs flying around them. How you gone be mad a country won’t let you use their military base cause they don’t want to be involved? Spain said thoughts and prayers. lol
