All that respect because they were living on US dime, Trump told them no more freeloading then the respect dissapears

Only someone with low self esteem will care about respect that is tied to how much of their bills you can keep paying

The US under Trump will not be begging allies with money for support and respect, the people who matter in the world and are giving us something tangible back will get our support not leeches

When its time to fight Ukraine all these same EU will line up with plates to beg for money and ammunition.

Trump has laid them bare for everyone to see that they are paper tigers

This one is for the mentally conquered in breds who think their act of brown nosing a despicable despot makes them more patriotic than other Americans. A better man a wiser man tells you it’s pathetic.

He will say something directly in contradiction to this whole tirade in 5.4.3.2….

And of course they’ll shapeshift into a new opinion in support of him.

Iran is simultaneously militarily decimated and a high risk country.

Their nuclear weapons are existent and non existent.

Depending on the story of the day.

Inherently discriminatory." To document what happened to women in the Holocaust. Sigh 😔

I want the women who supported this administration to come to the front and explain how their “place in life” is being guaranteed by these set of floozies

In recently released depositions, two former members of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency revealed how they used OpenAI's ChatGPT to systematically identify and cancel more than 1,400 grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The grants were flagged using a crude keyword search and a chatbot prompt that asked, in fewer than 120 characters, whether each project "related at all to DEI." The results were sweeping. And when it came to women's stories, the logic was explicit: [any project that focused on women's experiences was, by definition, disqualifying.

Two young men with no relevant qualifications. Not particularly notable in terms of any accomplishments.
Neither had any background in the humanities. Neither had any experience in government, in grant administration, or in scholarly research of any kind.

The irony is hard to miss. The Trump administration justified its war on DEI by insisting that federal funding should be based on "merit" -- that identity-based considerations had no place in how taxpayer dollars were allocated. And then it handed the keys to two young white men whose primary qualifications were that they were willing foot soldiers who had no ethical qualms about the assignment. Not merit. Not expertise. Not intellectual rigor. Not even a basic familiarity with the grants they were hired to evaluate.

Fox couldn't even define "DEI" during the deposition -- the term he had used to cancel $100 million in funding. Asked whether he thought it was inappropriate that someone in their twenties with no experience with grants or the federal government was making personal judgment calls about what grants to cancel, Cavanaugh said he did not. "I think a person can have enough judgment from reading books," he testified. When the attorney asked what books had informed those judgments, Cavanaugh conceded there were "no books."

No experience. No research. No knowledge of the field. Just a chatbot and a keyword list. But they checked the right boxes -- they had the right identity and the right ideological willingness. In an administration that claimed to be replacing identity with merit, the only criteria that actually mattered were being willing to wield the chainsaw and not asking what you were cutting down.

And the Trump administration gave them the authority to decide which of America's humanities grants -- the stories, scholarship, languages, and histories that the federal government had supported for six decades -- deserved to exist.

Their method was staggering in its carelessness. They pulled short grant summaries off the internet -- not the full applications, which ran dozens of pages and had survived rigorous peer review -- and fed them into ChatGPT with this prompt: "Does the following relate at all to DEI? Respond factually in less than 120 characters. Begin with 'Yes' or 'No.'"

They did not instruct the chatbot on how to define DEI. They did not consult a single scholar. They did not read the grants. Fox also ran keyword searches through the federal grants database, flagging anything containing terms like "gender," "equality," "Black," "LGBTQ," "tribal," "ethnicity," "immigration," "citizenship," and "melting pot." He did not search for terms like "White," "Caucasian," or "heterosexual."

The circular logic extended beyond gender. During the deposition, when asked about a documentary concerning the 1873 Colfax Massacre -- where dozens of Black men were murdered by a mob of former Confederates and Klansmen -- Fox said he agreed with ChatGPT's assessment that it was DEI because it "focused on a singular race." After a pause, he went further: "It is not for the benefit of humankind. It is focused on this specific group, or a specific race, here being Black."


All projects that had gone through a rigorous, multi-stage peer review process. Canceled by a pair of DOGE bros plugging keywords into a search engine and ChatGPT prompts into a chatbot, with no intellectual rigor, no attempt at due diligence, and no discernible understanding of the material they were evaluating. For this, Fox was paid $150,000 and Cavanaugh $120,000. Their entire tenure at the NEH lasted roughly three weeks. Their broader DOGE service lasted less than six months.


He went on to explain that, under DOGE logic, telling these women's stories was "inherently discriminatory" because it focused on "females," which makes it "related to DEI."

When Aljazeera journalists even seem to understand better than leftists. TDS is really a bad thing

https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2026/3/16/the-us-israeli-strategy-against-iran-is-working-here-is-why

When you look at what has actually happened to Iran’s principal instruments of power – its ballistic missile arsenal, its nuclear infrastructure, its air defences, its navy and its proxy command architecture – the picture is not one of US failure. It is one of systematic, phased degradation of a threat that previous administrations allowed to grow for four decades.

I write this from Doha, where Iranian missiles have triggered alerts for residents to take shelter and Qatar Airways has started operating evacuation flights. I lived through four years of war in Baghdad.

I have worked for the US Department of State and advised defence and intelligence agencies in multiple countries. I have no interest in cheerleading for war.

But I have spent my academic career studying how states authorise the use of force through intelligence institutions, and what I see in the current campaign is a recognisable military operation proceeding through identifiable phases against an adversary whose capacity to project power is collapsing in real time.

An arsenal built over decades, dismantled in days
Iranian ballistic missile launches have fallen by more than 90 percent from 350 on February 28 to roughly 25 by March 14, according to publicly available data. Drone launches tell the same story: from more than 800 on Day 1 to about 75 on Day 15.

The figures drawn from US and Iranian military statements differ in detail but converge on the trajectory. Hundreds of Iranian missile launchers have been rendered inoperable. According to some reports, 80 percent of Iran’s capacity to strike Israel has been eliminated.

Iran’s naval assets, fast-attack craft, midget submarines and mine-laying capabilities are being liquidated. Its air defences have been suppressed to the point at which the US is now flying nonstealth B-1 bombers over Iranian airspace, a decision that signals near-total confidence in air dominance.

Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by cococandy(f):
He’s the most deplorable of deplorables. Almost gleeful at the idea of the congressman dying soon. Meanwhile, They are the people giving their all in support of him.

The way they gasped at minute 3:44 , were they surprised he said that? A classic narcissistic sociopathic psychopath lacked any semblance of empathy when he was telling them about the impending death of one of their own? Shocker 🙄

They keep surprising me at how little they use their discernment. NOTHING he does surprises me. Least of all this. This is actually nothing in the grand scheme of things he’s done.

Leaker Gets Booted, Then Whines About Iran War

A senior Trump administration official just dropped the hammer on Joe Kent's credibility after his dramatic resignation Tuesday as director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

According to the source, Kent was a known leakercut out of presidential intelligence briefings months ago. The White House urged DNI Tulsi Gabbard to fire him over the suspected leaks, but she didn't pull the trigger.

Worse, Kent had zero involvement in any Iran planning or briefings. None. Zip. So his grandstanding resignation letter accusing Israel and its U.S. lobby of dragging America into an unnecessary war rings hollow from a guy[b] already sidelined for spilling secrets.[/b]

Kent, a former Green Beret who served as Gabbard's chief of staff before heading up counterterrorism, claimed in his exit note he couldn't support the fight in good conscience because Iran posed no imminent threat. He blamed outside pressure for launching Operation Epic Fury, the ongoing campaign hammering Iran's missile sites, navy, and terror proxies to keep nukes out of mullah hands.

But with Kent already on the outs for leaking and pushing to rewrite intel reports to fit narratives, his sudden attack smells like sour grapes from a disgruntled insider who lost access long before the strikes began.
