In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

Just as Hitler rose from the ashes and grievances of World War I, it looks like Trump’s dream is to reduce the United States to rubble so that he can turn what’s left of our once great country into his base of aggressively expansionist operations in alliance with Vladimir Putin and a few oligarchs.

(NBC News) - Some U.S. allies are considering scaling back the intelligence they share with Washington in response to the Trump administration’s conciliatory approach to Russia, four sources with direct knowledge of the discussions told NBC News. @nbcnews.com
nbcnews.com
As Trump pivots to Russia, allies weigh sharing less intel with U.S.
Members of the so-called Five Eyes spy alliance, as well as Israeli and Saudi officials, fear the identities of foreign assets could inadvertently be shared with Moscow.

If the US had continued to support Ukraine, we may have been months away from the end of the war. The Russians would not have been able to continue to fight for much longer. They were making almost no progress, taking huge casualties.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Far too late, the #BrokenPost asks "Where are the guardrails?" without realizing that it was supposed to be one.
As Musk reshapes the government, some ask: Where are the guardrails?
The White House has taken advantage of rules with weak enforcement and loopholes -- or simply declared it can outweigh other laws.
