Unfavorable coverage by mainstream news media hardly constitutes a "national security crisis" -- unless we want to include snowflakes melting down, that is.

It seems that many sworn Federal officeholders are glossing over the "all enemies foreign and domestic" part of their oath, sad to say. That makes them co-traitors with TFG, doesn't it.

It was not at all due to the knucklehead in the White House that Darline Graham was elected to fill her late brother Lindsay's Senate seat. This is a well-known phenomenon called "widow’s succession” or the “widow’s mandate". With Lindsay Graham being unmarried, his sister fills the "widow" role.

"The [US] withdrawal from the [JCPOA deal under the first Trump administration] led Iran to take actions contrary to the deal, including stockpiling roughly 440 kilograms of highly enriched uranium." The 2nd Trump administration has no idea how to solve this self-created quagmire, does it?

"The president said he would defer to his defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, on whether to release a video showing a follow-up attack that killed survivors of a Sept. 2 strike on an alleged drug smuggling boat." Will Hegseth decide to release the video evidence of his war crime? Not too likely, imo.
