Neo-nazi socialists are literally imploding at the latest negative news that Donald Trump is more popular than Harris or Newsome

Progressive left leaning news rag NBC conducted a popularity poll comparing Donald Trump with Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsome.

People overwhelmingly hate the only two people the Corporate Democratic Party of America has been floating as presidential candidates.

The DNC is likely already plotting how they can rig their next presidential primary to push out any reasonable candidates, likely in favor of Newsome

At one of the most consequential moments of his two terms in office, wartime president Donald Trump on Monday delivered a vague and contradictory forecast for how long the United States will continue to fight in Iran and what the ultimate goal of the US military campaign there will be.

With oil hovering above $100 a barrel for much of Monday and Middle Eastern allies fearing a further tumble into regional conflict, Trump appeared in Doral, Florida with the mission of calming global markets and reassuring skittish allies that he has a clear vision for how to end the largest US intervention in the Middle East since the Iraq war.

If there is one, it was not delivered in this press conference.

In a 35-minute appearance, the US president eschewed the specifics to hammer home how thoroughly the US has destroyed Iran’s military and to bolster suspicions that there has been little planning for what comes next. After floating remarks that the war was “very complete, pretty much” to a CBS News reporter in a phone call, he then evaded a reporter’s question about whether that meant the war could wrap up this week. “No but soon. I think soon. Very soon.”

On Feb. 28, the Trump administration launched war on Iran. The following week, it drafted Iron Man, Walter White and SpongeBob.

These characters, and many more figures from movies, TV, sports, music and video game memes, appeared in a series of short, trolling videos from the White House, on platforms including TikTok and X (formerly known as Twitter), that reduce the war’s carnage and upheaval to flippant, dystopian amusements.

For Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, war was hell. But as represented by the Trump White House’s social feeds, war is LOL.

In one video, footage of explosions is intercut with a clip of SpongeBob SquarePants saying, “You want to see me do it again?” In another, football tackles and battlefield detonations are synced to AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck.” Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary, gives a briefing to the score of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” (whose use by the Trump administration the band protested last year); munitions hit their targets to Nelly’s “Here Comes the Boom.”

A clip from the game “Grand Theft Auto” opens one video; a wartime scene from “Call of Duty” begins another. In yet another, munitions detonate over and over as an animated lizard — taken from an end credits scene of “Elio” — mashes a lizard icon on a touch screen and a voice repeats, “Lizard,” ushering in the brainrot era of wartime propaganda.

Why air strikes on Tehran oil facilities are causing black rain

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqxd1nv3re2o

Smoke plumes caused by oil depot and refinery strikes drifted across Tehran on Monday, satellite images show, as the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that attacks on oil facilities could pose serious health risks to residents.

Since the US-Israeli attacks on Iran began on 28 February, we have confirmed strikes on at least four oil facilities around the capital.

Residents said smog and pollution have blocked out the Sun and left a strong smell of burning in parts of the city, while experts warn the scale of some of the pollutants released could be "unprecedented".

This week, 60 Minutes reported on the Havana Syndrome, the mysterious constellation of injuries – like cognitive difficulties, vision impairment, and issues with balance – that have befallen high-ranking officials in the United States government while they were serving in the U.S. and abroad.

For nine years, producers Oriana Zill de Granados and Michael Rey reported with correspondent Scott Pelley on what victims described as an invisible force that suddenly overwhelms their senses, causing headaches, nausea and vomiting in some cases, while they are in their homes, walking to their cars, or asleep in their beds.

Some victims believed they were attacked with an energy weapon, and were targeted because of their job within the U.S. government.

"When we first heard all of these stories, it sounded odd and hard to believe… that some invisible ray gun was hitting these people and hurting them," Zill de Granados told Overtime.

But this week, 60 Minutes reported the U.S. government acquired a directed energy weapon from a Russian criminal network, and is believed to be testing it on animals.

President Trump is reviewing "all credible options" as oil prices skyrocket amid the U.S.-Israel war with Iran, a White House spokeswoman told CBS News on Monday.

Taylor Rogers told CBS News in a statement that the White House is in "constant coordination with the relevant agencies" on the issue of oil and gas prices, saying it is a "top priority" for the president.

"President Trump and his entire energy team have had a strong game plan to keep the energy markets stable well before Operation Epic Fury began, and they will continue to review all credible options," Rogers said. "As the President said last night, this is a short-term change in oil prices, which will drop dramatically once the objectives of Operation Epic Fury are achieved."

Oil prices soared on Monday as the war in Iran intensified. The price of Brent crude, the international benchmark, briefly surged to $119.50 per barrel on Monday - its highest level since the summer after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.

West Texas Intermediate, which is produced in the U.S., also soared to $119.48 per barrel at one point.

Those prices fell to just under $100 later on Monday, but barrels of Brent and U.S. crude are still 36% and 42% more expensive, respectively, than before the war started on Feb. 28.

>President Trump told the New York Post he has a plan to address surging oil prices, as the U.S.-Israeli operation in Iran moves forward.

>"I have a plan for everything, OK?" he told the Post. "I have a plan for everything. You'll be very happy."

A federal judge on Saturday ruled that the appointment of Kari Lake, the head of Voice of America’s oversight agency, was invalid, voiding mass layoffs that she had carried out at the federally funded news group last year.

The decision from Judge Royce C. Lamberth of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia was a major rejection of President Trump’s attempts to dismantle the storied government-funded news group, which was founded to combat Nazi propaganda.

If upheld by higher courts, Judge Lamberth’s ruling would allow more than 1,000 journalists and support staff members at the news group to return to their jobs. Ms. Lake, who had been leading the U.S. Agency for Global Media, V.O.A.’s parent agency, said that she would appeal the decision.

Before Mr. Trump pushed to close the agency and influence its editorial decisions, Voice of America broadcast in 49 languages and had more than 360 million weekly listeners around the world, providing news services to foreign countries with limited press freedoms, such as China, Russia and Iran.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt sparked a frenzy on Sunday after making a startling admission as to President Donald Trump’s plans for the ongoing U.S.-Israel military siege on Iran.

“Mothers out there are worried that we’re going to have a draft, that they’re going to see their sons and daughters get involved in this,” said Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo, speaking with Leavitt Sunday. “What do you want to say about the president’s plans for troops on the ground? As we know, it’s been largely an air campaign up until now.”

In a stunning admission, Leavitt told Bartiromo that mandatory conscription – not seen since the Vietnam War – had not been ruled out by her boss.

“It has been, and it will continue to be, and President Trump wisely does not remove options off of the table,” Leavitt said.

“I know a lot of politicians like to do that quickly, but the president, as commander in chief, wants to continue to assess the success of this military operation. It’s not part of the current plan right now, but the president, again, wisely keeps his options on the table.”

Leavitt’s remarks sent immediate shockwaves among critics, many of whom took her comments as a sign that conscription was imminent.

Alexander Butterfield, a key aide to President Nixon, has passed away at 99. He revealed the existence of tape recordings in the Oval Office, which contributed to Nixon's resignation during the Watergate scandal. Butterfield's disclosure came during a Senate hearing in July 1973 and shocked many in Washington. He oversaw a taping system that recorded conversations in several critical areas.


His passing was confirmed by his wife and John Dean, also involved in exposing Watergate wrongdoing. Butterfield later described his role in Nixon's downfall as both heavy and significant. He criticized Nixon, calling him “not an honest man” and felt justice was served when Nixon resigned.

>Jeffrey Epstein told a 16-year-old girl to strip and massage him as he spoke to Donald Trump on speaker phone, a victim of the late sex trafficker has alleged to federal investigators.

>The shocking new allegation was uncovered by the Daily Mail, which notes that Epstein allegedly barked the order in the massage room at his seven-story Manhattan townhome in 2004.

>Simultaneously, the victim, who says she was a high school junior at the time, claimed that Epstein took off his clothes and climbed onto a massage table. She alleges that he then sexually abused her there.

>The woman told investigators that Epstein was on the phone with Trump when she arrived at his Upper East Side lair—her third visit to the home. Epstein told the woman to hurry upon arrival, saying, “Let’s go, let’s go,” according to an FBI memo.

>That horrific scene was detailed in a document that the Justice Department did not release until last week. It was not part of the first major dump of the Epstein files in January because it was incorrectly marked as a duplicate, the DOJ has claimed.

>“EPSTEIN got on the massage table and was on a speakerphone call with DONALD TRUMP,” the FBI memo reads. “[The victim] started getting undressed, and they started massaging him. (The victim) started massaging EPSTEIN’s feet and pointed to his back.”

>From there, Epstein’s accuser alleges that he grabbed her hand and pulled her on top of him.

>A Miami-Dade County Republican Party group chat was flooded with slurs weeks after it was created

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/miami-group-chat-young-conservatives-racism-1235525657/

> Vacationers have long known that Miami group chats can be a force for evil. Friendship-ruining, relationship-destroying, and, in the case of the Miami-Dade County’s Republican Party, a national scandal.

>The Miami Herald reported this week that the local Republican chapter’s recently established Whatsapp group chat for young conservatives was quickly overrun with racist and misogynistic posts. According to the Herald, users threw around racist slurs against Black and Jewish people with abandon, including hundreds of instances of the n-word.

>In one instance, College Republicans Recruitment Chair Dariel Gonzalez wrote that “you can f–k all the [k***s] you want. Just don’t marry them and procreate,” leading Florida International University Turning Point USA chapter president Ian Valdes to reply that he “would def not marry a Jew.”

>Another user, William Bejerano, sent a long list of violent acts he encouraged against Black people. The n-word-packed message included acts like crucifixion, dissection, and beheading. The chat also went through several rounds of renaming, including “Uber R****d Yapping,” and “Gooning in Agartha,” a reference to Nazi esoterica associated with SS head Heinrich Himmler.

>In response, Florida International University has opened an investigation into the group chat and the students allegedly involved. Two Republican Florida state senators have also called for the involved students to be expelled.

Voters continue to disapprove sharply of Trump’s handling of inflation and the cost of living, issues that were key to his 2024 victory and remain among Americans’ top concerns heading into the midterm elections.

And they don’t like his actions on Iran, with the U.S. now at war with the nation after Trump ordered strikes starting last weekend — strikes a majority say should not have happened.

Across five issues tested, voters give the president their lowest marks on the economy, with 62% disapproving of Trump’s handling of inflation and the cost of living and 36% approving. It’s an issue Democrats are trying to capitalize on heading into the midterms, after the party’s candidates found success on the issue in 2025, even as Trump has tried to change the narrative on the economy.

Nearly half of voters (48%) say Trump’s policies have hurt the economy, while 35% say they have helped and 16% say they have not made much of a difference. It’s a turnaround from Trump’s first term, when more voters said his policies helped (41%) than hurt (26%).

Voters are particularly frustrated by Trump’s tariffs, with 55% saying they have hurt the economy and 33% saying they have helped.

Just over 1 in 4 voters (27%) say their own financial situation is getting better, while 38% say it is getting worse and 35% say it is staying about the same.

https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/vpns-up-porn-websites-down-australia-brings-new-online-age-restrictions-2026-03-09/

SYDNEY, March 9 (Reuters) - Australians were downloading virtual private networks (VPNs) in droves, while one of the world's largest porn distributors said it was blocking users from its platforms as the country rolled out sweeping online age restrictions on Monday.

Last December, Australia became the first country to impose a nationwide ban on teenagers using social media. A separate law now requires AI-powered chatbot services to keep certain content - including pornography, extreme violence and self-harm and eating disorder material - from minors or face fines of up to A$49.5 million ($34.5 million).

The country also joined Britain, France and dozens of U.S. states requiring websites which disseminate pornography to verify users are over 18. App stores must also run age checks before allowing downloads of software labelled 18+.

The country's eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said the measures aimed to afford children the same protection online as the world expected offline.

https://fortune.com/2026/03/07/pentagon-emil-michael-anthropic-claude-defense-ai-openai-iran-war-palantir/

The Defense Department’s reliance on Anthropic’s AI came as a shocking realization that ultimately led to their dramatic schism, according to a top Pentagon official.

Emil Michael, the department’s under secretary for research and engineering as well as its chief technology officer, detailed the events leading up to the public feud in a Friday episode of the All-In podcast.

After the U.S. military’s raid on Venezuela in early January that captured dictator Nicolas Maduro, Anthropic asked Palantir if its AI was used in the operation. While Anthropic has characterized the inquiry as routine, the Pentagon and Palantir interpreted it as a potential threat to their access.

“I’m like, holy shit, what if this software went down, some guardrail picked up, some refusal happened for the next fight like this one and we left our people at risk?” Michael recalled. “So I went to Secretary Hegseth, I said this would happen and that was like a whoa moment for the whole leadership at the Pentagon that we’re potentially so dependent on a software provider without another alternative.”

Until recently, Anthropic’s Claude was the only AI model authorized in classified settings. The San Francisco-based startup has said it’s patriotic and seeks to defend the U.S., but won’t allow its AI to be used in mass domestic surveillance or autonomous weapons.

The Pentagon insisted it would use the AI in lawful scenarios and refused to abide by any limits from the company that would go beyond those constraints.

After failing to reach a compromise last week, President Donald Trump ordered the federal government to stop using Anthropic while giving the Pentagon six months to phase it out. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also designated the company a supply-chain risk, meaning contractors can’t use it for military work.
