Right, simply entertaining this challenge as if it's remotely legitimate is already discrediting.

If there's a single vote to end birthright citizenship, we need to take this Supreme Court apart with sledgehammers and start over.

Pam Bondi dropped the cases against 4 accused drug dealers for resource reasons in MN, even as the entire office focused on processing snatched grannies.

Turns out she did the same on much larger scale last year.

Oil Regulators Found Hundreds of Wells Violating Oklahoma Rules. Then They Ignored Their Findings. Oklahoma took on an ambitious project to catalog all of the state’s injection wells, which shoot toxic waste generated by oil drilling back into the ground. Despite records showing risk of drinking wa...

In 2021, Oklahoma oil regulators documented nearly 2,000 wells that were either operating above legal limits — or lacked limits entirely.

Yet they never acted on their own findings.

And they never made the report accessible to the full agency.

Spain could be the only EU country to beat energy price hikes Spain spent the last six years investing heavily in wind and solar energy, leading to some of the cheapest power prices in Europe.

Not Farage Oil

Since 2019, Spain has doubled its wind and solar capacity, adding over 40 GW - more than any other EU country except Germany, whose power market is twice the size of Spain’s.

US-Israeli strike on orphanage west of Tehran kills two, Iranian media reports
Sana Noor Haq
By Adam Pourahmadi and Sana Noor Haq
At least two people have been killed by a US-Israeli strike on an orphanage west of Tehran, Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency reported Monday.

Five others were injured in the attack on a newly built orphan charity complex in the city of Fardis, about 25 miles west of Tehran, the agency quoted a regional official as saying.

Rights groups have condemned the number of civilians and children killed in US and Israeli strikes and the targeting of educational establishments and residential areas.

In Iran alone, strikes have killed at least 230 children and injured a further 1,800, the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported on Sunday.

But those lies are one reason I think he'll end up declaring victory from catastrophic defeat, and likely in a way that vastly helps Russia.

Bc Russia is offering "solutions" to him that probably look easy, and Trump likes easy, especially if there is personal graft involved.

President Trump said on Sunday night that Iran had agreed to release 20 more cargo ships of oil through the Strait of Hormuz starting on Monday, in what the president insisted was a “tribute” to the United States and a “sign of respect.”

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One as he returned to Washington from a weekend spent in Florida, Mr. Trump cast Iran’s decision to allow free passage for the ships as a sign that negotiations were underway toward ending the military conflict in the region, in what he said were direct and indirect talks.

But to many outside experts, Iran’s ability to turn the spigot of oil deliveries on and off simply demonstrates its power to control the narrow, 21-mile-wide passage. Previously Mr. Trump had said he did not care much about what went through the strait because most of the oil goes to customers in Asia and Europe, and very little to the United States.

It was not clear where the 20 cargo ships were headed. China and India are major buyers of Iranian oil. The ships may also belong to Gulf Arab states. Last week, the Iranians allowed about 10 ships to transit the strait, a development that Mr. Trump also hailed as a sign of progress.

The movement of the oil is an issue that has arisen only after the United States and Israel began their military action on Feb. 28. The core of the negotiations center on the future of Iran’s nuclear program, the size and range of its arsenal of missiles and, based on Mr. Trump’s earlier goals, the freedom of the Iranian people to protest without being shot in the streets by the government.

Mr. Trump insisted to the reporters, however, that he had already achieved “regime change” in Iran because the leaders in place when the attacks on the country began have been killed, starting with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader.

“I think we’ve had regime change,’’ said Mr. Trump. “It truly is regime change.”

Trump is telling two lies about Iran:

First, that when it opens its tollbooth controlling Hormuz to let ships out, it is a gift to him.

Second, that he has accomplished regime change.

It's still likely he'll further escalate, bc he has is all ego. But...

Report that the Catholic Cardinal of Jerusalem has been prevented from celebrating Palm Sunday mass for the first time in centuries by the Israeli police.

This looks grim. But it’s also an interesting test for all the grifters who use the meaningless phrase ‘Judeo-Christian values’ as a euphemism for hatred of Muslims.
