Probably not suspicious that Trump fired his Navy Secretary in the middle of a naval blockade.

He gets to negotiate a settlement with himself. I try to think about it from other angles, but that is the only way that I can describe it. How can something like this be legal? How can something like this not be described as anything but corrupt? Read: cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/04/for-...

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

How tragic that you could publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish a cartoon like this over and over again...

Behind Trump’s Public Bravado on the War, He Grapples With His Own Fears The president’s impulsive style has never been tested in a sustained military conflict, and he’s been ruminating on Jimmy Carter’s failure in Iran.

Oh. He marveled.

"Some of the president’s advisers were caught off guard that tanker traffic would grind to a halt so quickly after the bombing began...

"Trump has since marveled at the ease with which the strait was closed..."

'We are missing data': NWS weather balloon changes scrutinized as tornados hit Midwest For much of Monday, the agency didn't anticipate a tornado threat for Kansas City — then five hit that evening. Did a change in weather balloon launches leave forecasters in the dark?

"The Trump administration cut the agency deeply last year, leaving some forecasting offices short-staffed...

“You’re missing data from the Four Corners region, the northern Plains, part of the central Plains, and that’s where the storms were developing,” he said..."

Business Legend Warren Buffet calls out America's Billionaires

If 800 other major corporations paid what Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway did in taxes, Americans wouldn't have to pay a dime.

The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades ahead of public announcements by the US president.

Could many if not most of his decisions be about accumulation of wealth, rather than seeking peace?

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Since Trump has trouble distinguishing what someone in the medical profession looks like, here is a picture of a lifesaving professional.

Wet towel in space: NASA astronaut demonstrates how surface tension forms a perfect water sphere in microgravity at the ISS

Barrera said her husband said the smell of human feces in the toilet caused a fellow detainee to vomit and, in turn, created a chain of people vomiting. She said her husband is asthmatic and has not received medication to treat his condition. The lack of medicine and the stress of the overcrowded holding cell has left him short of breath and teetering on the edge of an asthma attack, Barrera said. ICE did not immediately respond to questions on April 10 about the conditions of the Mesa or Phoenix facilities. After the publication of this article, Barrera told The Arizona Republic her husband was transferred to the ICE facility at San Luis Regional Detention Center at about midnight. The San Luis Regional Detention Center is in Southwestern Arizona and has the capacity to hold 700 people.

This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.

According to Federal Reserve economists, without Trump's tariffs, inflation would have dropped to pre-pandemic levels last year.

Instead, core goods prices were up 3.1% by February 2026 — and Trump's Iran War will send prices skyrocketing even higher.

New whistleblower book reveals that Trump admin officials tasked with dismantling USAID had no idea what the agency actually did, with one official admitting he assumed it only did abortions, and asked career health experts to dumb down their presentations to the level of a children's TV show. 1/4
