Diplomatic dude. I know a little about international economics. I once explained the electoral college on Mongolian TV. Climate change believes in you. Vaccines are good, actually. "I could smell the mustard and onions."

Ohio sends voter registration data of nearly 8 million residents to DOJ Secretary of State LaRose says the handover is required under federal law.

Shame on Ohio for handing over personal voter data to DOJ.

While other states DEFEND their voters and elections from Trump’s attacks, Ohio happily gives in.

does Miller mean that we're committing war crimes? usually one doesn't admit to that.

I make no apologies for being fiercely opposed to the erosion of the wall of separation between church and state. It’s been disastrous for the United States that we’ve lost sight of this essential principle.

Pete Hegseth Treats Fallen American Soldiers as a PR Problem His use of the Iran war dead to attack the media was disgraceful.

Pete Hegseth, if he does not resign, should at least get out of the way and let better men than him talk to the nation and to the press.

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.

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

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."

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflictβ€”and 9000
miles from North Americaβ€”makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

exactly - and Sun Tzu: "To a surrounded enemy you must leave a way of escape. Show him there is a road to safety, and so create in his mind the idea that there is an alternative to death."

Front page of the Columbus Dispatch for March 4, 2026, with a big splash photo of a husband his wife, smiling, while wearing bike helmets and cycling gear. Back in November the guy murdered the woman.

Wow, the Columbus Dispatch literally put the "this is how the photos be lookin in headlines when a white man kills his entire family" tweet on the front page today. Unreal.

Hint: if you can't come up with a clear goal, you can't have a strategy.

Blowing shit up is not a strategy.

Even the underwear gnomes had a clearer idea of strategy since they had a goal.
