Did you notice this morning, when you went out, that the price of gas had risen overnight? 

Here is West Virginia, it;s already gone up substantially.

Majority of American voters disapprove of how Trump is handling military

action in Iran, poll shows


U.S. and Israel have targeted Iranian military and government sites, killing Iran's 
supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. More than 1,000 civilians have also been 
killed in the conflict, including an estimated 175 students and staff at a girls' school, which 
preliminary U.S. military investigation suggests was caused by an American air strike.

                       

















Trump is the first American president to go to war without public support.

The Whole Internet Is Calling Out Pete Hegseth After He Complained That 

Reporting On US Troop Deaths Makes Trump Look Bad


Both Trump and Hegseth absolutely deserve to "look bad" after touting the need for an unnecessary, destructive, and counterproductive war having the very reverse effect of protecting our country. Instead, their decision to attack Iran without provocation is 
putting our country and the whole world at risk, killing both Americans and Iranians 
for no apparent reason. Trump reportedly has said that he just had "a feeling." Netanyahu 
is also to blame.

Fox News poll: Majority says Trump’s handling of Iran has made US less safe


Trump has demanded a pardon for his pal Netanyahu. 
In a secret phone call, Netanyahu reportedly urged Trump to go ahead with a strike on Iran, so Trump actually did so, but had kept his plans secret and avoided seeking Congressional approval as is required by law. Now Netanyahu's trial for corruption has been postponed, just he had intended.


Google says: As of early 2026, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s long-running corruption trial remains active but has faced multiple delays due to security considerations and the war in Gaza, with his legal team recently requesting a pardon from President Isaac Herzog, citing the need to govern. The case, which began in 2020, involves charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.

Exclusive-US investigation points to likely US responsibility in Iran school strike, sources say


Yes, it looks like the US bombed a school for elementary-age girls, killing them all and their teachers. Isn't that a war crime? 

Google says: Deliberately attacking a school or hospital or any other civilian ‌structure would likely be a war crime under international humanitarian law. If a U.S. role were to be confirmed, the strike would rank among the worst ​cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East.

It is more than likely that a US strike hit the school, though probably not as an intended target.

More than 1,000 civilians in Iran, including children, have already been killed, according to Human Rights Activists.

Trump says he has ‘to be involved’ in picking next Iran leader and Khamenei’s son is ‘unacceptable’



John Bolton, 77, has said that during his tenure as Trump’s national security adviser, he 
saw that the commander-in-chief often “didn’t care about” or simply “couldn’t process” 
the briefings his senior advisers delivered on national security and foreign policy.
If Trump was already "tuning out" on briefings even back then, his attention span has probably declined even further by now. He often seems to be sleeping--or maybe he's 
only "resting" his eyes? 


Barack Obama spoke at a recent Jesse Jackson memorial. Trump did not attend.










A parody website calling for President Donald Trump‘s youngest son, Barron Trump, 19, to be drafted into the U.S. military appeared online amid U.S. strikes on Iran. The website, DraftBarronTrump.com, was created on Feb. 28 by Toby Morton, a comedy writer who previously worked on South Park and Mad TV, according to USA TODAY.

DOJ Abruptly Posts Interviews With Trump Accuser From Epstein Files


According to the newly released files, Trump punched a young woman on the side of her head after she'd bitten his naked penis some years ago. She was between 13 and 15 years old at the time, she told investigators. 
“Get this little bitch the hell out of here,” he reportedly yelled. She said that he had really disgusted her.

DC dentist, hygienist guilty of $4 million Medicaid fraud





Dolls still interest me, even now at my age. I used to collect antique dolls, starting
with several I'd inherited. They all had names. I even had a boy doll. Whatever has
happened to my dolls now? I don't really know. Only a few items from my 3-story
DC house have followed me here. I hope my old dolls are now in good hands.
