Iran begins laying mines in Straight of Hormuz shipping lanes. "Iran still retains upward of 80% to 90% of its small boats and mine layers, one of the sources said, so its forces could feasibly lay hundreds of mines in the waterway." edition.cnn.com/2026/03/10/p...
"Kremlin Accidentally Publishes Outtake of Putin’s Women’s Day Address"
In the original video, which was later deleted, Putin suddenly stops as he reads his address, turns off-camera and clears his throat while gesturing to someone out of frame.

Russia preparing the legal framework for global military action.
A new bill would allow Putin to deploy Russian forces outside Russia’s borders to “protect Russian citizens
abroad.”
Same pretext used in Crimea.
Same language used before Georgia.
Same playbook again
Does that mean he'll send Russian troops to Iran? That would certainly help Ukraine.
❗️Turkish President Erdogan called for the war against Iran to stop before it escalates and sets the entire region on fire, saying diplomacy must be given a chance. "Turkey is not a country that turns its back on friends and brothers in times of crisis," he said. #Iran

Mary Trump: “For Donald, there is one reason and one reason alone. He's in trouble, and he knows it. This isn't simply about changing the subject. That, of course, would be bad enough. This is to keep himself and the world from knowing what an inept, depraved, compromised fraud he is."
Why didn’t they get these people out in advance?

That would have tipped off the Iranians. Besides, Trump could care less who become victims.
Yeah.
How's that working for ya'?
The Iran-linked hackers who hit a Fortune 500 company today say it was retaliation for the U.S. missile attack on an Iranian school that killed at least 175 people.
DISTRACTIONS DON’T WORK.
COVERUPS WON’T WORK.
NOT EVEN WAR.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
HUGE.
If we already won, why is our navy too scared to escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz?
That war is far from over.

"I don't want the president of the United States to have a cognitive deficiency."
Too late.
Trump likes his name on everything. I suggest that the age old "Murphy's Law" should henceforth be "Trump's Law" because everything that goes wrong generally can be attributerd to Trump.
Q: Is Thune listening to you when you say you want to pass the SAVE America Act? He says there aren't the votes to do it
TRUMP: Well, he's gotta be a leader. If he's a leader, he's gotta get them
On Monday, Israeli forces killed eight members of the Hamdan family.
The victims were father Ahmad Hamdan, mother Najiba Aloul, their daughters Kawthar, Fatima and Batoul, and the latter's children Jihad and Fatima Zayour.
The son, Mohammed, later succumbed to wounds sustained in the strike.
Another hush money payment.
A lot of leftists believe that only American nukes can stop Iran from having this kind of missile programs.
I don't think that's the case. But I wonder if they're ready for the implications of the right course of action if that is the case.
to all candidate hopefuls...
the senate and the house of representatives aren't entry level positions.
please run for local/state positions, get elected, and get government experience FIRST.
Canadians have increasingly bypassed U.S. travel for more than a year, and the boycott shows no sign of slowing down.
To the "I didn't vote for this" folks. You voted for a convicted felon. A twice-impeached president. A man found liable for sexual abuse, who tried to overthrow an election. And now gas prices are surging, we're at war, and soldiers are coming home in coffins. This is what you voted for. All of it.
If his brain were mush it would be an improvement
