Fact: Queen Elizabeth II served more time in the military than four generations of the Trump family combined.

Worth reading this Trump outrage. He would not be hired as CEO of a 25 person business. An unstable and dangerous man.
Tom Nichols@RadioFreeTom
The President of the United States is an emotionally unstable man with obvious cognitive issues. We are in the middle of a war, he tanked an important speech to the nation, and this is what he's worried about:

🚨🇺🇸 The President of the United States woke up this morning and posted a 150-word personal attack on Bruce Springsteen.
Called him a dried up prune. Insulted his plastic surgeon. Told his supporters to boycott concerts that "suck."
Somewhere a CENTCOM briefing is waiting. Somewhere four astronauts are floating toward the Moon. Somewhere oil traders are checking $108 on their screens.
And Trump had the nerves.

Also another reminder that SecDef Hegseth has no respect for Army Leadership or Army processes or its authority to fulfill its Title 10 responsibilities.
Eric Schmitt@EricSchmittNYT
In an extraordinary move, Hegseth reverses Apache helicopter crew suspension before Army even investigates the incident, undercutting the service's authority and underscoring his contempt for legal guardrails in the military w/@ESCochrane nytimes.com/2026/03/30/us/…

It took a almost a century for the United States to build a global system of trade, security, and cooperation, and these guys are going to throw it away because they screwed up and have to save face.

Hegseth indicates reopening the Strait of Hormuz is not a core US objective: "We've been willing to lead, President Trump has led the entire time, but it's not just us. You might want to start learning how to fight for yourself."

“The base”? Aren’t you the Secretary of Defense for all of America?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Hegseth: "As far as President Trump and boots on the ground, I don't understand why the base wouldn't have faith in his ability to execute on this. Look at his track record."

I’m sorry to disappoint you, @flat6fanatic but I only made it to three star. The Army was smart enough to pull the plug there. But I am definitely not a hater. I love our Constitution and those who support and defend it.

@general_ben Ben is a hater. I can't believe that he made it to a four star General.

This does not count unless one uses the verb “Smote” or “Smite”….

Hegseth: "May God watch over all of them, each day and each night. May His almighty and eternal arms of providence stretch over them and protect them and bring them peace. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

I regret to have to remind you that Pete Hegseth is a disgrace and should not be the Secretary of Defense.

Gary Kasparov at the NATO Public Forum:
The liberation of Russia from Putin’s fascism will not start until the Ukrainian flag is raised over Sevastopol. Period. Anything else is wishful thinking.
You have to kill the idea of empire in the minds of Russians. They have to understand the war is lost. Ukraine must win. Ukrainian victory includes three things: liberation, reparation, and justice.”
The big debate is whether it’s Russia’s war or Putin’s war. Unfortunately, it’s Russia’s war. Every Russian, myself included, has a responsibility for the crimes committed in Ukraine.
People who want to leave from Putin’s ‘North Korea’ to our, let’s say, virtual ‘South Korea’ have to say three things in five seconds without stuttering: The war is criminal; The regime is illegitimate; Crimea is Ukraine.

🇸🇪 GEN. CLAESSON: After traveling 3,000 kilometers through Ukraine and meeting with dozens of military leaders, my main conclusion is that it is not a broken country. They are tired, for obvious reasons, but not broken. We must maintain our focus on Ukraine.

I spoke at a No Kings rally today in Pasadena TX.
Years ago NASA made the grave error of “normalizing deviance,” which led to 2 deadly space shuttle accidents.
We need to never “normalize” the deviant behavior of Trump and MAGA.
Our democracy depends on it.

Will the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Staff of the Army submit their resignation? The Secretary of Defense clearly does not respect their judgment or the Army’s promotion system.
OSINTdefender@sentdefender
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is blocking the promotion of four Army officers to be one-star generals, two of which are Black and two women on a list of roughly three dozen officers up for promotion, in a highly unusual move that has prompted some senior military officials to question whether the officers are being singled out because of their race or gender, according to The New York Times. Hegseth had been pressing senior Army leaders, including Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll, for months to remove the officers’ names, military officials said. But Secretary Driscoll, citing the officers’ decades-long records of exemplary service, had repeatedly refused. Earlier this month, Hegseth broke the logjam by unilaterally striking the officers’ names from the list, though it is not clear he has the legal authority to do so. The list is currently being reviewed by the White House, which is expected to sent for final approval to the Senate.

It’s relentless. Day after day, Ukraine is hitting Russian oil in a meaningful way. Trump may be demanding Ukraine unjustifiably give up the Donbas, but Zelensky is making Putin give up his oil revenue. No sanctions, just drones.

General Stanley McChrystal to @DavidAFrench: “I think, in this case, we again fell for the seduction that if we bomb key targets, we will produce the outcome we want—but the outcome’s in the minds of the people.” nytimes.com/2026/03/23/opi…

People overcomplicate how to defeat Russia.
The solution is incredibly simple:
We just need to fund enough cruise missiles for Ukraine to systematically destroy every Russian oil refinery within reach.
Cut off the fuel, and you end the war
