Oh, aren't we proud and happy to have Trump as our President? He is so thoughtful, wise and worthy of our respect! This is one of his posts last night on Truth Social:

Do you remember Marimar Martinez, the preschool teacher and US citizen, shot 5 times by ICE - and survived? Did you know that the phony ICE case against her was thrown out, "with prejudice"? Here is her statement, well worth your time: www.blumenthal.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Trump / Hegseth are trying to pressure the DoD's legal service into 'compliance' (fealty to Trump, no matter what). This is yet-another mark of a would-be dictator, trying to control the legal system: thehill.com/policy/defen... Watch this fool blather on: x.com/SecWar/statu...

Here is a goofy and amusing story - that I hope annoys Trump no end! The new Trump and Epstein Titanic statue in DC. Kudos to whoever created this!

You gotta love politicians and their ability to shamelessly say-one-thing and do-another! www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

As you have heard, Khameini's son will replace him. This should work out well for Trump and the US military! U.S. and Israeli airstrikes killed not just Mr. Khamenei’s father, but also his wife, Zahra Adel; his mother, Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh; and a son.
