If Donald Trump wants to steer Iran's leadership away from fundamentalist Islam, he must deploy an army of beautiful young research assistants to convert them to pseudo-Christianity. by David Brooks

Make it make sense. 😂🤣👇

Trump threatened allies around the globe with invasion and denigrated them at every step, including fallen soldiers in Afghanistan. Putin on the other hand got a pass, received a warm welcome in Alaska and even got sanctions lifted. Those are the facts.

This is a lie. Trump suspended all help to Ukraine with his inauguration. Not a single cent is going to Ukraine. European countries are buying US weapons. This is not helping, this purchasing. When I buy my goods in a store, then the store is not „helping“, it is making business.

Let's be clear: NATO is toast. Trump still has 3 more years (at least), and after the midterms, he is going to be truly unhinged. Europeans must accept that they need to create their own NATO now. www.ft.com/content/1ca6...

Brilliant article saying we can't set up a missile defence system because our wind turbines make it impossible. Then says we should be more like Germany, but forgets to mention that they have 3-4 times as many wind turbines as we do...

But of course. 🤡 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/03/15/u...

Utilities are convincing lawmakers around the U.S. to delay bills that would allow people to buy solar panels, plug them into an outlet and begin generating electricity.

Steps in Trump war rhetoric: 1. We don’t have to play by the rules in war 2. We won the war 3. If you go by the rules I just made up we won 4. No fair

The FBI thinks you are fucking stupid. Iran has zero capability to cross the Pacific and sea-launch a drone attack on California. This is too fucking dumb for me to comment on further.

IRAN WAR HAS COST THE U.S. MORE THAN $11 BILLION IN ITS FIRST WEEK, ACCORDING TO THE PENTAGON, AS REPORTED BY THE NEW YORK TIMES.

This is hilarious.

Trump goes to Thomas Massie's district in KY today to campaign against him. Since the key issue on which Massie broke with Trump was Epstein, it raises the question: Will Trump address the Epstein scandal and coverup when he speaks there?

This is the guy who likes to downplay non-fatal injuries suffered by US service members in combat.

(Reuters) - The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now, according to sources familiar .. www.marketscreener.com/news/us-navy...

Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.

Even if AI could write a novel what problem has been solved? The problem of knowing what you’re reading was written by another person? Who loves reading novels but hates the part where your mind briefly and mysteriously touched another?

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

Man it’s so fucking obvious when the times hates a politician.

Airspace changes since 26 February. See the disappearance and reappearance of traffic and the now-constricted northern corridor at the top of the image.

Why have defenders of national identity and sovereignty not embraced Kyiv’s cause?

Oh my god no! The Iranians were developing Trump's healthcare plan.

Beware the Fake TACO. Spooked by markets, he makes stuff up to a credulous press. Gets the calming headlines, and the situation hasn’t actually changed.

Trump says US Navy sank Iran's warship off the coast of Sri Lanka because "it's more fun" to sink ships than capture them.

The idea that the Kurds could form a successor government in Iran "would be a foolish assumption not only for the many reasons described above, but most importantly it is because it’s not what the Kurds want."

It's #DolphinAwarenessMonth! Although we tend to picture the ocean when we think of dolphins, there are currently thousands of dolphins swimming in major river systems in both South America and Asia.

A Fidesz MP has submitted a bill to temporarily confiscate the Oschadbank funds seized from Ukrainian couriers for up to 60 days pending a tax authority investigation. Fidesz parliamentary group leader Mate Kocsis said the bill will be debated under an expedited procedure. #Hungary

I lost my job, my 401(k) is in the toilet, and I can’t afford healthcare, groceries, and now gas. But at least the president doesn’t have an annoying laugh, because he never laughs.

It seems almost pointless to note that if Obama wore a baseball cap in this situation he would have been absolutely pummeled in the media, from Fox to NYT, but I'm going to do it anyway.

Just sent out my free weekend update. This was the most extraordinary week, when the Ukrainians stood up to help the USA and the USA stood up to help the Russians (across the board). Ukraine is saving American lives while Russia is helping end them… open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Sweden has released photos of the detention of the Caffa, a sanctioned Russian shadow fleet vessel. #Russia

The woke liberal cucks at Anthropic cut us off from using Claude right before we were going to ask it to generate a reason why we're invading Iran. by Pete Hegseth

It's funny how the Cook Islands keep trying to persuade islanders that nothing is decided on #DeepSeaMining, and then go selling their deals and expertise as 'world leaders' in a new industry ... pina.com.fj/2026/03/03/c...

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said there is no evidence Iran is building a nuclear bomb. "We do not see a structured program to manufacture nuclear weapons. That is the assessment," Grossi said. #Iran

How did that go again — that “Biden is going to drag the Europeans into a war with Russia, and Trump is going to bring peace”? Does anyone remember? 🫠🫠🫠🫠

White House talking points for congressional Republicans say we're not at war, we're just in "major combat operations against Iran" lol

They had the concept of a plan of a threat.

Well when you put it THAT way.

First oil tanker attacked in the #StraitofHormuz according to Oman

People in the Iranian city of Karaj are dancing and celebrating following the confirmation of Khamenei's death. Few IRGC or Basij units are visible on the streets nationwide, with only scattered clashes reported. #Iran

Berlin, Germany, and Iranians are celebrating like there is no tomorrow.

President Trump launched strikes on Iran after a weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia, according to four people familiar with the matter. U.S. intelligence assessments saw no imminent threat, but regional allies argued to strike.

Iranian drones hit the famous Burj al-Arab hotel in Dubai, UAE. The hotel is burning. Unbelievable.

All those billionaires and CEOs who loudly declared they were leaving New York for Dubai when Mamdani was elected mayor may have missiles falling on their luxury resorts right now, but at least they escaped free bus access and a handful of subsidised supermarkets. A small price to pay, surely

meanwhile, war rages on at home.

New footages shows U.S. Patriot batteries intercepting Iranian ballistic missiles over Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, with PAC-3 MSE interceptors engaging multiple targets. One interceptor appears to have malfunctioned. #Iran
