Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, "Thank you President Trump." | have said, "You're welcome!" Iran is no longer the "Bully of the Middle East," they are, instead, "THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST," and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran's bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Status check: heβs still nuts
Former President Barack Obama on Rev. Jesse Jackson:
"He was talking about everyone who was left out, everyone who was forgotten, everyone who was unseen, everyone who was unheard, and in that sense, he was expressing the very essence of what our democracy should be."
Preach!
Super shocking. Given that Russia helped our enemies during Vietnam, Korea, and both gulf wars, who could have guessed this would happen. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/p...
Gonna be a great time for all involved
In a phone interview with Israelβs Channel 12, Trump demanded President Herzog to give Netanyahu a pardon βtoday,β saying he doesnβt want Netanyahu distracted by anything other than the war with Iran.
He called Herzog βa disgraceβ, who βpromised me 5 timesβ, adding: βTell him Iβm exposing him.β
Desi Lydic Foxsplains Trumpβs Iran Not-War
explained youtu.be/-0A2sJHi92I?...
If Russia shares intel with Iran & is weakened by Ukraineβs fight, why not lift missile restrictions & let Ukraine strike Moscow?
But sure letβs drop a billy a day on a war nobody wants or understands
Trump is quizzing people on the Hill on whether or not he should fire Noem.
A lot of them are saying yes.
Calling in the Clintonβs in for a closed-door testimony while ignoring other widely implicated individuals is no mistake. This is an active, and massive, cover-up.
Trump two weeks ago: "Weβve done the biggest thing of all. We have peace in the Middle East right now."
If Donald asks Zelensky for anti drone systems, he better wear a suit, ask nicely and say thank you.
Since the Dow is under 50,000, can we talk about the Epstein files again?
Agree π―% With Senator Mark Kelly.......
BREAKING: Former President Barack Obama has endorsed YES on Virginiaβs April 21 referendum, calling it a βresponsible, temporary stepβ to protect fair representation as several Republican-led states redraw congressional maps mid-decade to gain an advantage. Early voting begins March 6.
US taxpayers will now have to pay $700 million a month in interest for every month Trump refuses to refund tariffs under the Supreme Court ruling. So much winning.
Trumpβs desire to gerrymander Texas and purge his GOP critics may end up giving Dems a functional House majority.
Jim Jordan: "When people step back and evaluate it, they say, 'This was the right decision. This was consistent with what the president told the American people when we the people elected him. He said he was going to do this.'" (Trump literally campaigned on no war with Iran!)
Imagine if Joe Biden started a war and then tried to explain it to the press, only to start rambling about his gold drapes and a ballroom. Fox News heads would explode.
"Is it so hard to say you were wrong?" -- under questioning from Durbin, Kristi Noem refuses to retract her statements about Alex Pretti and Renee Good being domestic terrorists, but throws "agents at the scene" under the bus for the fact she said it in the first place
DURBIN: Is DHS required to follow federal court orders?
NOEM: Yes sir, and we do
DURBIN: How do you explain that your agency has repeatedly violated them, as your own administration has admitted?
NOEM: We follow them when they apply
DURBIN: I'm sorry
DURBIN: Do you understand that people protected by DACA have to go through a criminal background check?
NOEM: Yes
D: Why have you deported dozens of DACA holders who complied w/ background check
N: We follow all laws
D: Why did you deport them?
N: I don't know the details of that specific case
DURBIN: How does taking dad from child dying of cancer qualify as a violent crime?
NOEM: I don't know what you're speaking of
D: Ruben Torres 2 weeks ago buried his daughter. When he was arrested at Home Depot, he said, 'Please. My daughter is dying.' They deported him. Was he a violent criminal?
Trigger laws enabled some states to ban abortion the second the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Now Virginia is considering one that would limit political spending if the Court ever overturns Citizen United. bit.ly/3OYOEOV
