Fri Jun 26, 2026, 09:03 AM

Friday

The US under Trump and talk show host, macho man Hegseth are getting rid of experienced military leaders who happen to be minorities or women and wasting billions of tax dollars on a war that has accomplished nothing other than almost bringing the global economy to its knees and reinforcing Iran's ability to damage the global economy whenever it chooses. We are being led by childish amateurs; Ukraine and NATO are being led by professionals.
