The Army Chief of Staff, a combat veteran with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, asked Pete Hegseth why he was blocking the promotions of two Black officers and two female officers who had earned them. Hegseth refused to answer. Then he fired him. Nine U.S. officials told NBC News that Hegseth has blocked or delayed promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military. Hegseth has now fired or sidelined more than a dozen generals and admirals. He is an out-of-control, unqualified former TV host and nobody in the Republican Party will say a word about it because they don’t want to make Trump angry. nbcnews.com/politics/natio…

The White House deleted this embarrassing video. So whatever you do- * DON'T REPOST IT. * Donald wouldn't like it if you hit "repost." Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

Mar 3: "We won the war." Mar 7: "We defeated Iran." Mar 9: "We must attack Iran." "The war is ending almost completely, and very beautifully." Mar 12: "We did win, but we haven't won completely yet." Mar 13: "We won the war." Mar 14: "Please help us." Mar 15: "If you don't help us, I will certainly remember it." Mar 16: "Actually, we don't need any help at all." "I was just testing to see who's listening to me." "If NATO doesn't help, they will suffer something very bad." Mar 17: "We neither need nor want NATO's help." "I don't need Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO." Mar 18: "Our allies must cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz." Mar 19: "US allies need to get a grip -step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz" Mar 20: "NATO are cowards." Mar 21: "We don't use it, we don't need to open it." Mar 22: "This is the last time. I will give Iran 48 hours." "Iran is Dead" Mar 23: "We are giving them more time." Mar 24: "The war is nearing its end." Mar 25: "We are still negotiating." Mar 26: "Iran is begging for peace. They gave us a gift. We will give them more time." Mar 27: "Talks with Iran are going very well" Mar 28: "War will be over soon" Mar 29: "Maybe we take Kharg island, maybe we dont" Mar 30: "Open the Strait or we will obliterate all energy infrastructure and oil wells" Mar 31: "We dont need the strait, we got plenty of oil. Get it yourself UK."

If the U.S. didn’t have birthright citizenship, we wouldn’t have a 34-count pedophile felon in the Oval Office right now… Donald J. Trump is only a U.S. citizen because of it. His mother, Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, wasn’t a citizen when he was born. His father, Fred Trump, was only a citizen because he was born here to immigrant parents. No birthright citizenship… His dad wouldn’t be a citizen. His mom wasn’t a citizen. So, what does that make him? And now he wants to end the very rule that made it his own life, wealth, and presidency possible. If they end birthright citizenship… then they have to do the same to Trump’s presidency.

ICE guards are betting on which detainee will kill themselves next. The AP just exposed the savage conditions of a detention camp in El Paso. The Associated Press got inside Camp East Montana. What they found should be on the front page of every newspaper in this country until it closes. About 3,000 people packed in per day. Loud, unsanitary quarters crawling with insects. Food so scarce that detainees steal from each other just to eat. Disease spreading through filthy rooms, showers, and restrooms that go uncleaned. People losing weight. People unable to see a doctor. People losing their minds. Staff made nearly one 911 call per day in the camp's first five months. One call captures a man sobbing after being assaulted by another detainee. Another has a doctor describing a man banging his head against a wall while expressing suicidal thoughts. A nurse calls about a pregnant woman in severe pain with coronavirus. Detainees suffering seizures, some resulting in serious head trauma. Ages ranged from a 19-year-old who fell from a bunk to a 79-year-old who couldn't breathe. And then there's the detail that should haunt this administration for the rest of its existence. Owen Ramsingh, a former property manager from Columbia, Missouri, who spent weeks in the camp before being deported to the Netherlands, told the AP he overheard a security guard talking about a betting pool among the staff. They were wagering on which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had put $500 in. The total pot rode on the outcome. Ramsingh said the talk was particularly devastating because he had contemplated suicide himself. Guards are gambling on the deaths of people in their custody. People who are hungry. People who are sick. People who are begging for help through 911 calls that come in every single day. And the staff turned it into a game. This is not some rogue facility. This is the system working exactly as this administration designed it. Overcrowded by policy. Underfed by neglect. Understaffed by choice. They built a place where human beings deteriorate and then the people paid to watch over them place bets on who breaks first. The AP has the data. The recordings. The interviews. The court filings. This is documented. This is real. This is happening right now in El Paso, Texas, in the United States of America. Share this. Do not let them bury it under another news cycle.

This is absolutely insane: At 7:04 AM ET today, President Trump said “the US and Iran have had productive discussions" to end the Iran War. By 7:10 AM ET, the S&P 500 surged +240 points adding +$2 TRILLION in market cap. 27 minutes later, Iran completely denied all of President Trump's claims and said there has been "no contact" with the US. By 8:00 AM ET. the S&P 500 had fallen -120 points erasing -$1 trillion in market cap. That's a $3 TRILLION swing market cap in 56 minutes, just in the S&P 500. What is happening here?

A federal judge just ruled that videos of DOGE staffers must stay up — and they are devastating. Under oath, they couldn't define DEI. They admitted they never reduced the deficit. And they wiped out $100 million in humanities grants — including a Holocaust documentary — using ChatGPT. The regime tried to bury this. It didn't work. dworkinsubstack.com/p/shut-it-down…

Most people think preparing for a bounce in a bearish market is irresponsible. I think starting the process early is what separates you from the crowd that's always one step behind. If you're short, you need to know when it might be time to cover. If you're getting very bearish, you need to understand it's usually a bad idea to short in the hole. And if you're trying to buy the bounce, you really need to check yourself. Do you actually think the market is just going to hand you an easy entry? It's not. What usually happens before a bounce: the market shakes you out of your premature, oversized position, then leaves without you after you panic sell. That's by design. These aren't clean, comfortable entries. If you're not a tactical trader, the simplest move is to sit on the sidelines and wait for the shorter term trend, something like the 5 day moving average (purple line), to flatten out and start turning back up. That's your signal that the shorter term conditions are potentially shifting. If you like to front run, you have to accept a few things. You're going to be starting a position when everyone tells you it's stupid. It's going to feel awful. Of course it's not going to be a comfortable transaction, that's the whole point. To make it manageable, you size down in elevated vol. You can always add when conditions improve. The real pain isn't being early and wrong, that's manageable. The real pain is watching a lockout rally rip without you and feeling forced to chase. Fight that urge. If you miss it, who cares. The market is not going anywhere and It will setup again.

THE EPSTEIN FILES… JUST when things were starting to come to light… suddenly all attention shifted toward the war. Too perfect to be a coincidence… Don’t stop talking about the rapist living in the White House.

Was this supposed to happen? Yes, this is what Midterm-election years historically evidence relative to all other years. Should it get worse and through Q3? It often does, but with a respite in April. $SPX $ES_F $SPY $QQQ $NYA $IWM $OEX $DIA $VIX

And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Let’s keep this in the spotlight every day.

Sen. John Kennedy admits on Fox News that the Republicans and Democrats reached a deal to fund TSA, but Trump said, “No. No deals with the Democrats.” Kennedy says, “It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week.” This is the Trump shutdown!

@MarketMike @NerdRageDan Ha, I see his profile replies are only to you, Mike 😁

@NerdRageDan You know, i got info on your main account now. Thinking of the best way to call you out infront of the audience. Also, just so you know. When you use this account to only comment on my stuff it makes it very obvious that you have a little boner for me See you soon.

The $SPX low on March 20 is now 3 days old and hasn't been taken out. That means we're in a live rally attempt, and starting tomorrow, I'm watching for a Follow-Through Day, a +1.25% gain or more on higher volume than the prior day. Still very early and this hasn't even been a -10% correction yet. But if one shows up without the low getting taken out, that's the signal to start adding some exposure into names showing relative strength. After a Follow-Through Day, the warning sign is if that FTD low gets breached. Doesn't kill the rally, but it means manage your risk. I charted every correction over the last 20 years and how this signal played out each time 👇

Donald Trump called mail-in voting “mail-in cheating” on Monday. That same day, news broke that he just voted by mail in a Florida special election. His polling place is a 15-minute drive from Mar-a-Lago. He spent the last two weekends there. He mailed it anyway. He is now holding the entire country hostage to pass a bill making it harder for you to vote the way he just voted. Shameless hypocrisy. nytimes.com/2026/03/24/us/…

GOP: the mail is secure enough to receive your photo ID, social security card, your debit and credit cards, your stimulus checks, and your tax returns Also GOP: the mail is not safe enough for voting

I don't know why Americans didn't make a bigger deal over this. If Joe Biden used photos from a dignified transfer for a fundraising email, there'd be nonstop Fox News outrage, with every GOP member calling for his impeachment. WTF, America?
