Maybe Cabinet officials should read & understand the Constitution & their oath of office BEFORE being confirmed?
Or, perhaps, put down the bottle? Alcohol DOES cloud people's judgement.
Apparently Hegseth is just as much of a self-important autocratic blowhard as his Orange Skinned Master is.
"Shoot 'em up" Kegseth asserted, once again, that it is unpatriotic for the press to report on the war in any way other than glorifying the alleged accomplishments, him, and Trump.

Trump's 2027 budget will further strip Social services & healthcare for the poor, while continuing the wealthy's tax breaks & increasing military spending to $1.5T to further fund Trump's Wars of Choice.
America First apparently doesn't include ALL Americans.

Words I never expected to hear ... Particularly when they are about the HHS Secretary.
A new book describes RFK Jr's obsession with the genitalia of roadkill ... Calling himself a 'genitalia researcher'
Freaking WOW ... So disgusting.

Trump's War FAILS on every part here.
So, no, this is far from being covered by the "just war doctrine"

Which Hegseth has said he gives No quarter to. That's not ethical treatment of prisoners if you refuse to take any. We're definitely not protecting civilians - just look at the dead children from that school. And Trump has threatened total destruction, which is NOT proportional use of force.
And the intention is questionable, as it appears we did it because Israel told us to ... With the exact same presentation and excuse set that every other president since 1979 has flatly rejected.
Let's explore "jus in bello", which includes the treatment of prisoners ...
Trump & his cronies want to oppose the Pope's words by citing the "just war doctrine", but I would argue that they have failed to meet that bar. They have violated the "jus ad bellum" portion by not fully exploring diplomacy before attacks (bombing while negotiators are in the room).
Davey, the leader of the Lib Dems, states his rationale for this being the final straw is Trump's threats to cancel the trade deals between the US and the UK that were forged after Trump decided to go tariff happy.
UK MP Sir Ed Davey has proposed canceling King Charles' State Visit to the US to celebrate America's 250th birthday as a response to Trump's repeated insults against the UK for not following Trump into his War of Choice in Iran.
Trump is costing us allies.

A political cartoon that depicts the dichotomy between the top 1% of wage earners who received 80% of the benefits of Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, while the poor continue to struggle financially.
As many people (including myself) predicted, the tax cuts under Trump's lauded "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" were mostly smoke & mirrors when it comes to the lowest wage earners. In reality, 80% of the benefits went to the top 1% of wage earners.

Due to these shifts of influence & power, and Trump's refusal to reverse course (erroneously believing he is omnipotent & infallible), I predict that by the time he leaves office, America will be considered merely a paper tiger.
Trump's war of choice against Iran, coupled with his tariffs, have caused a shift of global power dynamics. Iran & China now have more influence over global affairs & economics as China is a more stable trading partner & Iran controls the Straits of Hormuz.

The time of using the underpowered Lunar phone is coming to a close very soon ...
I bought a Samsung A37 5G today, and it should arrive next week.
This will be the first time I have been able to purchase a tech gadget within 1 week of product availability.
So excited for its arrival next week!
And here I was under the impression that we don't pay a single cent to NATO ... I thought the NATO charter instructed Nations to spend a particular amount on their own defense budget as a sort of 'dues'
I think that's another Trump lie - add it to the heaping pile of dung!
Trump is now claiming that China has agreed to not provide weapons to Iran.
Until I hear independent confirmation of said claim, my instinct is to add it to the heaping pile of dung that is Trump's lies, along with "2020 was rigged" & "he ended 8 wars"

My, how the "Grand Old Party" has fallen. Trump has turned the GOP into EVERYTHING it claimed to oppose under previous Republican presidents.
Thanks for catching that - I missed that part ... You're right.
Wait, there's actually something on the planet that Trump DOESN'T want his name attached to? 😲. If he's not willing to attach his name to it, even he knows it's toxic to his legacy...
But then again, Trump's entire legacy is toxic to his legacy 🤣 He's never done an altruistic thing in his life!

For a political party whose bread and butter is predicated on protecting women & children, I find it both troubling & illuminating that the GOP has taken MONTHS to hold Tony Gonzalez to account for nearly identical allegations that prompted Dems to push Swalwell "off the island" in 4 DAYS!
The Faux Reality TV DesPOTUS decided to do an ill-fated collab with DoorDash.
It turns out DoorDash Grandma, who delivered McDonald's to McFascist on Monday, is a GOP shill from KY who has appeared in multiple TV ads.
Trump can't be genuine about ANYTHING!

The IMF has downgraded its Global growth forecast, specifically citing Trump's War of Choice in Iran as a major driving Factor.
Trump's not just wrecking the US economy, but is trashing the global economy in total.

I should probably note that KATL is the world's busiest airport, and I believe it is already operating close to or at maximum capacity for its 5 runways and 198 gates across 7 concourses.
This will certainly damage the US tourism economy as most of the major international hubs inside the US reside in "sanctuary cities."
Would that mean ALL international flights will be funneled through KATL, KDFW, KIAH, & KCLT? Fields like KBHM, KSLC, or KSTL certainly could not handle the volume.
New reporting claims that DHS secretary, Markwayne Mullin, has threatened to revoke the international status of major US airports located in sanctuary cities by removing customs offices. This would affect KSFO, KJFK, KLAX, etc.
WTAF?!?!
