County sheriff, DHS deny detaining U.S. citizen despite evidence to the contrary Homeland Security officials and the Dodge County, WI sheriff deny holding a U.S. citizen in detention for more than 30 hours before releasing the woman in rural Wisconsin in the middle of the night. archive.ph/MQdg8

Headline: Russians say Iran attack shows U.S. can’t be trusted in Ukraine talks Whoa! Talk about psychological projection! Even by 1980s Soviet propaganda standards, that assertion would have been considered weak sauce. 🤨🙄

As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

NEW: Trump wanted an uprising. Instead, tens of thousands are in Tehran’s main square, risking their lives under bombardment, to pledge allegiance to the new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. We’re witnessing the greatest miscalculation in US political and military history. (🎥 Middle East Observer)

Wut? www.wsj.com/style/fashio...

In 2025, 50 BILLION for just grants and contracts - more than the entire military budget of Canada and Mexico. This is waste, fraud, and abuse. Now, we are in a unnecessary war with Iran. Fire him. 2/2

Hegseth spent 93 billion in September 2025 alone on... 98,000 on a grand piano. 2 million for Alaskan King Crab 6.9 million on Lobster Tails 15 million for ribeye steak 124,000 for ice cream makers 139,000 for 272 doughnuts 225 million on furniture, including 12,000$ for fruit basket stands 1/2

My thought exactly! WTF, America? In a civil, lawful, and properly functioning society, he and his entire cabinet would be prosecuted and incarcerated. 😠😒

So when do the journalists who made it a national emergency that Biden was old do the same about Trump? Waiting…

Are we still looking for waste, fraud, and abuse? I think I found some.

Look at this photograph (if you can bear to do so). While his aides and cabinet secretaries attempted Saturday to project the proper decorum and respect for American troops who sacrificed everything, Donnie Dungforbrains is still attempting to master the complex art of buttoning his suit coat. 🤨🤦‍♂️

"Trump chose to go to war and has taken explicit satisfaction in his power of life and death. War is a grave step after all other options have been exhausted. That Trump had other courses of action is well known. That he preferred this one is hard to unsee." My column. www.ft.com/content/2f3e...

The entire MAGA party is built on a foundation of shameless fraud, from its leader to the lowest plebe. They're a virus. As the country disintegrates around us, it becomes more evident each day that he, and they, are completely unfit to lead. The truth in that is the vaccine.

He seemed to know what he wanted. The driver expertly backed his truck cab to a semi trailer, jumped out, hooked up his rig and was gone in less than 15 minutes. The thief made off with $9.5 million in Apple products and $6 million in AMD computer chips, according to police. 😲🤔 archive.ph/2Bmm0

"Can I have a look at your dipstick, Nick?" 😏😜 The late Queen Elizabeth talks cars with Pink Floyd drummer and collector Nick Mason, while studying the oil level of Mason's 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO. Her highness served as a vehicle mechanic in the British army, when she was a young lady!

"One thing the American people have been clear about is they do not want the United States dragged into another long-term war in the Middle East. If you support the troops, you should be voting against funding this war." — Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), speaking Sunday on CNN's 'State of the Union' show

We've reached a point where I almost wouldn't be surprised...

"New Yorker writer David Kirkpatrick...says Trump & his family have made almost $4 billion dollars "off of the presidency," in just about a year." Americans: ⬇️92000 jobs ⬆️Unemployment ⬆️ costs In response to gas prices ⬆️, Trump says, "If they rise, they rise" #EpsteinClass #TrumpsWarOnOurEconomy

I ♥️ it! Well played, good sir! 👏💯 You! Yes, you behind the bike stands...

This may just be the coolest thing you'll see today. Nine-year-old Lucy gets her game face on and shows the room how it's done! Please remind me never to pick an argument with Lucy! 😬😜

Judge says Kari Lake violated law in overseeing Voice of America "Lake satisfies the requirements of neither the statute nor the Constitution," U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth wrote in his ruling. 😎 www.npr.org/2026/03/08/n...

The irony is physically painful.

Are we 'great again,' yet? Cuz at this moment in history, this U.S. military service veteran is truly ashamed and embarrassed to be an American. 😒

In a scathing review, the top US medical journal's editorial board warned that the "destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 in office might take generations to repair."

Good question. ZERO is the only acceptable answer to that question. Which leaves 'Phony Soprano' out in the cold. 🤨

Sometimes timing is everything. At other times, the way a moment is framed can be just as important. 😎😜

Chicago should drop opposition to HB2454, which makes bicyclists the “intended users” of all city roads. Bill would allow cyclists to hold the city accountable for road conditions the same way drivers hold it accountable. Op-ed @nikhunder.com #CharnaAlbert. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/03/06/o...

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

Considering the U.S. has an annual military defense budget higher than that of the next three nations COMBINED, one would expect that these contractors would by now have found a way to shield our own critically important military technology from attack by hostile enemy forces. 😠🙄

Mark my words, this illegal war is going to be Trump’s undoing.

Time to start the tribunals.

U.S. senator seeks perjury investigation into sacked DHS secretary's excessive departmental and personal spending. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) alleges Kristi Noem lied to Congress about the agency’s contracts and trump's knowledge of the award process. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

🎶 And Iran, Iran so far away I just ran, Iran all night and day I couldn't get away 🎶 #ONEV1 #Pinks 🌸 #Voices4Victory

Lose the hat you douchebag child rapist.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the President of the United States. Happy 250 years of independence. 🤦‍♂️

25 mile bike ride around my city today . A combination of road , muddy singletrack , trails & alleys . A little #industrialgravel. Lots of clear thought . No doom scrolling . Good day 🚲♥️

This is a very good article. It cites top studies; it's written in plain-spoken English; and it speaks to several common issues for those attempting to stay mentally sharp and physically ahead of "Old Man Time." It also includes great graphics that summarize the key points. Highly recommended! 🚴‍♂️🏊‍♀️🧗‍♂️
