Nancy Mace entered documents into the record today proving Cory Mills lied about his military service for years. Five fellow soldiers say he wasn’t there. The general on his Bronze Star paperwork says he never reviewed it. The Army confirmed Mills never served as a Ranger.

A key characteristic of Trump's second term is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate real headlines from those originating on The Onion parody website. Some examples follow. And let's not forget the Comey "Seashells by the seaside" indictment.

“Victory has many fathers, but defeat is an orphan.” Vance tries to distance himself from the Iran disaster: The Atlantic: The Pentagon May Not Be Telling Trump the Full Picture About the War Vice President Vance is worried that the U.S. is running low on weapons. archive.md/JnweH Excerpt:

While we might speculate about what Trump did with Epstein, we know what a jury found he did to E Jean Carroll As the judge put it, “based on all of the evidence at trial..the jury’s finding that Mr Trump ‘sexually abused’ Ms Carroll implicitly determined that he..in fact did ‘rape’ Ms Carroll”

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"

YouTube links to when most Republican politicians were still telling the truth about Trump, in 2016, before most of them became groveling Trump sycophants in pursuit of political power. It's remarkable how prescient they were. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y6W... youtu.be/P43wDpKQxaM?...

I have semi-seriously begun to wonder if Trump has a terminal medical diagnosis of some kind and he is determined to take the country down with him, much like when Hitler, in his final days, ordered the destruction of German infrastructure, saying that the German people did not deserve to survive.

"Enlisted members of the armed forces swear their oath to those appointed over them; an officer swears an oath not to a person but to the Constitution. The distinction is important." LIEUT. GENERAL GREG NEWBOLD (RET.) APRIL 9, 2006 Why Iraq Was a Mistake time.com/archive/6676...

A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge. “They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”

The Justice Department has tapped Joseph diGenova, 81, a Trump loyalist who served as the U.S. Attorney in Washington for part of the 1980s, to serve as a special counselor to the attorney general. He was sworn in Monday in Florida and is expected to work on the Brennan investigation.

Here’s a list of the allegations that Patel claims are false and defamatory:

In one sense, Donald Trump, his family and staff are remarkably transparent--They don't even try to hide their corruption. Traders placed over $1bn in perfectly timed bets on the Iran war. What is going on? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Warnings from Trump insiders (on left) Re: appointing Kash Patel to a senior FBI position, and where we are now (on the right). It seems likely that Trump appointed Patel as FBI Director in an attempt to largely destroy the FBI’s credibility as a law enforcement organization.

I have begun to wonder if Trump might actually have a terminal disease diagnosis, and he is determined to take the entire country down with him, much like Hitler in his bunker ordering that German infrastructure be destroyed in the final days of WW2 in Europe. bsky.app/profile/anne...

🚨China has issued a direct warning to the United States in response to Trump’s threat to blockade the Strait of Hormuz. Chinese Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun: “We have trade and energy agreements with Iran; we expect others not to interfere in our affairs. The Strait of Hormuz is open to us."

Trump is claiming that "Many boats are heading to our country to fill up with oil," presumably to offset the decline in global oil supplies resulting from Trump's decision to attack Iran. In this as in many other things, President Trump is delusional. The US is a net crude oil importer (EIA Data)
