Happy International Women's Day πŸ‘‘

She knew, there was
only one way out.
Not over, not under,
but through.
And so she took a deep breath,
dived right in and emerged
as something new.

How Kristi Noem’s β€˜Chief’ Corey Lewandowski Ran Her DHS Tenure into the Ground | National Review Lewandowski exercised an unprecedented level of control over the agency, and staffers have long suspected he used his influence for personal gain.

White House officials, lawmakers, and government contractors told NR they suspected that Corey Lewandowski and his political allies inside and outside of DHS were financially profiting from DHS contracts and multiple offices and committees on Capitol Hill are actively investigating the matter

I like this cartoon so much we paid the New Yorker the fee it requested to include it in my book.

We’ve not even had the vote 100 years. Let’s not let thing backslide.

Happy International Women’s Day, one and all.

Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people?

Trump: Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran.

Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth?

Hegseth: We’re investigating.

Trump: They are very inaccurate with their munitions. It was done by Iran.

Ah, the ol' "actually, they bombed themselves" routine that Israel used whenever they bombed hospitals in Gaza.

A federal judge in DC rules that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed and that actions she took as the claimed head of USAGM "shall have no force or effect," including last August's RIFs at the Voice of America.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

US companies denied refunds on Trump’s illegal tariffs, FT reports The U.S. government has declined to refund tariffs the Supreme Court ​ruled illegal last month, the Financial Times β€Œreported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

the US stole Venezuela's oil and instead of putting the money from the sale of that oil into the treasury, Trump put it into an offshore account in his name. he is absolutely stealing money from the country.

Trump now following Putin’s strategy of calling the war a mission. Nobody in the real world thinks the Russian attack on Ukraine isn’t a war and likewise for Iran. Delusional leaders justifying their wars of distraction from their corruption and exploitation of their own countries and citizens.

Say it plain: This is a terrible jobs report.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, nearly double the expected loss of 50,000. It’s the third payroll decline in the past five months.

πŸ“ŒNote: This is one of the worst monthly payroll drops since Covid.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
