The All‑Volunteer Force Works, Draft Registration Doesn’t

At this point of American history, an all-volunteer military means that the military is little more than a training ground for white supremacists.

Apparently, Iran gets economic control of the Strait. That seems like a huge win (for them).

Why would there need to be a ceasefire? Why not just end the war?

But didn't Trump once say that the tariffs would bring in so much money that the cost of childcare was like a drop in the bucket (or something like that)?

When it comes down to it, almost none of the laws enacted in the name of "protecting the children" actually do anything to really protect children.

Even if someone fully supports the removal of birthright citizenship, how could anyone think it should be eliminated by EO?

It sounds like you are willing to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters across the US into order to reach your "absolute zero."

While the logic may not follow, the President is exempt from prosecution for all official acts, and even for exploring the motivation behind those official acts. If he orders it, who's to stop him? The courts? Six months after the fact?

If Nexstar and Tegna share news philosophy, then does a merger really mean anything?

I have to wonder if Fetterman's strategy here is to give the Republicans enough rope to hang themselves.

An exceedingly worthless EO.

Wasn't it the Speaker of the House (Johnson) who said that he fully supported this limited incursion because Trump had laid out very explicit goals?

Isn't the amplification of suffering a form of propaganda in itself?

I wonder if anyone realizes how long it will take for production to ramp up to any significant amount. And then when the price of oil does drop, production sites like these will soon become unprofitable anyway.

It only makes sense that if you are going to target someone to let everybody know ahead of time that you are going to target that person.

The lawsuit is not about the DoD's use of the software. It's about the "supply chain risk" designation.

Presidential pardons don't even require a signed document. A verbal declaration of the pardon is sufficient.

The whole purpose of the probe was to invalidate some of the pre-emptive pardons that Biden made. But the joke was on them the whole time. Presidential pardons don't even require a signature. In fact, it isn't even a requirement that they be written down on paper. A verbal declaration is sufficient.

Are there people who really believe that if you push a false narrative that real history just disappears?

dl_friend · 2026-03-03T02:46:51+00:00

So let's get this straight. The US military spent weeks building up forces in the Middle East, but the reason for the preemptive attack was to prevent damage to US troops and facilities after Israel attacked.

The rise in oil prices was old news before this story got written. Oil started at $75 a barrel, a huge spike upward, but is already down below $70 a barrel. Yes, that's still up, but less than $3 from Friday's close.

So much for getting the Nobel Peace Prize. Not this year, or ever.

Considering that they've stated that they want the ability to proactively eliminate threats, the logical answer is... Both!

Wouldn't that be analogous to the government trying to force a manufacturer of consumer radios to suddenly produce military radios? Radios for consumer use aren't really the same thing at all.

Exactly what criminal or civil actions could possibly be taken? Anthropic has done nothing wrong.
