Buttigieg: Trump ‘Is Unfit to Be the Commander-in-Chief’
Posted By: Dreadnought, 3/16/2026 12:28:23 AM
Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” former Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said President Donald Trump was no longer fit for office. Buttigieg said, “What I’m worried about is not the soldiers and the people who are serving. What I’m worried about is their political leadership, like Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. You know, we lived through a war that was sold to us on false pretenses when I was younger. This war has not been sold on any pretense. The president just went ahead and did it. Here’s the biggest thing that has not changed since the war in Afghanistan or the war in Iraq.

LOS ANGELES — Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” was crowned best picture at the 98th Academy Awards, handing Hollywood’s top honor to a comic, multi-generational American saga of political resistance.
The ceremony Sunday, which also saw Michael B. Jordan win best actor and “Sinners” cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw make Oscar history as the first female director of photography to win the award, was a long-in-coming coronation for Anderson, a San Fernando Valley native who made his first short at age 18 and has been one of America’s most lionized filmmakers for decades. Before Sunday, Anderson had never won an Oscar.

$200M to Democrats While CEO Calls Trump

Anthropic’s political orbit has directed more than $200 million in campaign money since the 2020 election cycle, with nearly all of it backing Democrats, while cofounder and CEO Dario Amodei has built a public record of opposition to President Donald Trump that has become part of the broader clash between the artificial intelligence company and the administration.
Starting with the 2020 presidential election cycle, Anthropic’s founders, board members, and employees have contributed more than $200 million to political campaigns and causes. Only about $335,000 of that total went to Republicans
Republican candidate Rodney Anderson defeated his Democrat opponent Ana Coca in a runoff election for a city council seat in Grand Prairie, Texas, in a county previously won by former Vice President Kamala Harris.
According to election results for the Grand Prairie Special Runoff election in Dallas County, Anderson received 1,445 votes, or 56.36 percent of the vote, while Coca received 1,119 votes, or 43.64 percent.
The city of Grand Prairie is located in three counties: Dallas County, Tarrant County, and Ellis County, according to the city’s website:
Areas of the city of Grand Prairie are located within Dallas County, Tarrant County, and Ellis County.

Two former campaign managers for former President Barack Obama warned that the Democratic Party is a mess ahead of the 2028 presidential election, due to not knowing what they stand for.
Jim Messina explained to Axios that while Democrats are planning to rely on voters’ frustrations with President Donald Trump and his administration to pick up additional seats in the upcoming midterm elections, that is not enough to win the presidency.
Meanwhile, David Plouffe warned that Democrats are not ready to win “in what are now red states in neutral and even challenging environments.”
The partial Shutdown of the government has now been going on for almost a month as Democrats refuse to budge on their demands for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement reforms. Although ICE is fully funded due to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, other departments like the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) are not, leaving the nation at risk of attack and creating travel nightmares at the airports.

GOP Wins Another Redistricting Battle
3 replies
It’s easy to get discouraged about the ongoing redistricting wars with recent developments in California and Virginia, but Republicans did score a significant victory last week that may help. A Missouri judge has cleared the way for a new congressional map that strengthens the GOP’s position and puts a longtime Democratic stronghold squarely in play.
Jackson County Circuit Judge Adam Caine ruled that the revised map complies with the Missouri Constitution—this hands Republicans a much-needed win in the escalating national fight over mid‑decade redistricting.

As a kid, growing up amongst the wooded hills and white limestone outcrops of Allamakee County, Iowa, I had more than a passing acquaintance with rattlesnakes. Non-poisonous snakes, like bull-snakes and water snakes, I was under orders to leave alone, but the area's big timber rattlers I was allowed to go after, and in the summer I actively hunted them, for the meat (tastes like chicken), their hides, and their rattles. One thing I learned early on: To make sure a snake is dead, you have to cut off its head.
That applies to the leaders of rogue nations,
We have reached the point where the Democrats and the media are trying to convince the public that the military and Trump were unaware that the Strait of Hormuz was a strategic chokepoint, vulnerable to Iranian attack.
Newsflash: the US military can read maps, and Trump has spoken about the importance of the Strait since the turn of the century.
The media and Democrats are desperate to portray what is, legitimately, the most successful military operation in modern history as a chaotic, strategy-free, and failing war that Iran is winning.
Donald Trump Checkmates Iran On Day 14
4 replies
Don't misunderstand what I'm about to say. The war in Iran will continue for at least another week, according to President Donald Trump, and probably much longer. There are still hundreds, maybe thousands of targets, human and places, to destroy, thousands of sorties to be flown by U.S. and Israeli forces, and American naval assets will soon be joined by up to 5,000 Marines. There undoubtedly will still be casualties to come, joining the 13 we've already lost in the last fortnight. But not only are we winning this war against Iran, the killer move that all but assures the final outcome

Iran struck and damaged five US Air Force refuelling planes on the ground at Saudi Arabia’s Prince Sultan Air Base, The Wall Street Journal reported, in what would mark a major escalation in the Middle East conflict involving the United States-Israel and the Islamic Republic. “The tankers were hit during a strike in recent days. They were damaged but not completely destroyed and are now being repaired,” one of the officials told the WSJ, adding that no casualties or fatalities were reported in the attack.
Iran wants to hold the Strait of Hormuz hostage. Donald Trump just decided to raise the stakes by taking Iran's entire export capacity hostage. Late this evening, Trump announced that US forces had destroyed all of the military facilities on Kharg Island, through which Iran exports 90% of more of its oil.
Trump said he spared Iran's commercial export facilities on Kharg. For now. Nice oil business ya got there, Mojtaba ...
Moments ago, at my direction, the United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East, and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran’s crown jewel, Kharg Island.

volunteers — while CEO Valerie Jarrett
makes $740K 22 replies
The Obama Foundation is looking for 100 unpaid volunteers to work alongside the former president’s highly paid cronies at the $850 million Obama Presidential Center in Chicago when it opens in June.
Officials are pitching the no-paycheck gigs as rooted in former President Barack Obama’s legacy of civic engagement.
The recruitment campaign comes after Fox News Digital reported that the organization’s CEO, former top Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, was paid $740,000 in 2024.
Foundation officials told Fox News Digital the volunteers will complement about 300 full- and part-time employees at the long-delayed center, which the organization is promoting as a $3.1 billion economic catalyst for the Windy City’s South Side.
Tucker Carlson has announced the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been monitoring his contacts with people within Iran and is potentially referring the issue to Dept of Justice (DOJ) officials for criminal review.
According to his previous self-admissions, Carlson was strongly against the Trump administration taking military action toward Iran and had travelled to the White House to express that opinion to President Trump. If the CIA was monitoring his contact with officials within Iran, this should NOT come as a surprise.
Given the nature of the conflict both before (during negotiations) and after the military hostilities began (operation epic fury), it would be negligent if the Intelligence Community was not
Travelers nationwide are dealing with lengthy security line backups at airports due to the partial government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and, in turn, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). As the shutdown continues, the TSA is increasingly facing staffing shortages that have led to long lines at airport security checkpoints. Unfortunately, it sounds like those staffing issues are only getting worse. “Travelers are facing TSA lines of up to nearly three hours long at some major airports, causing missed flights and massive delays during peak travel,” the DHS said in a statement.
Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” former Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said President Donald Trump was no longer fit for office.

Late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was wary about his son Mojtaba succeeding him because he was not perceived as being particularly intelligent, according a new report. CBS News detailed that Khamenei was also aware of issues in Mojtaba's personal life. However, the outlet added, Trump told people close to him that information conveyed to him about the new supreme leader doesn't matter. He believes the country is operating without a leader and Khamenei could be dead.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Friday that Khamenei is wounded and likely disfigured. Moreover, a report by British outlet The Sun claimed that the man is in a coma and lost a leg
Electric vehicles are probably the vehicle of the future, but they are not the vehicle of the present. Let’s look at the numbers.
An EV uses about six cents of electricity to go a mile. That’s if you charge it at home with inexpensive residential electricity rates. It’s more if you use a charging station, and it’s more if it’s a large vehicle like a Rivian. And by the way, be prepared to leave it plugged in for several hours to get it charged.
Gasoline-powered cars use about thirteen cents of gasoline to go a mile, assuming gas is something over $3/gallon and you get something like 25 mpg.
George Soros’s Open Society Foundations is funding the slavery reparations campaign against Britain. The Telegraph has the story.
The Open Society Foundations (OSF), established by Hungarian investor George Soros and now led by his son, Alex Soros, has donated vast sums from its $23 billion (£17.2 billion) endowment to progressive causes.
The foundation has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars to groups seeking to claim reparations from Britain for slavery and colonialism.
The OSF helped to found a joint Caribbean and African campaign, and supported organisations that are now considering international litigation that could heap pressure on the British Government.

We’ve grown used to the media’s joining with the Democrats to attack every move by the President, but it is still something to watch the lies and distortions about the war in Iran where the press smears the troops in the middle of battle. Using the latest technology and working closely with the IDF and IAF, our military has achieved the most remarkable, unpredicted achievements in a matter of days. On the other hand, most major media coverage denigrates this accomplishment and regrettably advocates for our enemies.
State legislators recently pelted Greg Lucas, the leader of the California State Library, with questions about the funds during a budget hearing on education, the New York Post reported on Friday.The issue is connected to a foundation started by Parton called Imagination Library, which delivers free books to children. The program was set to be statewide in California in 2023, according to WJHL.
The outlet noted Parton created her library in 1995 to provide free books in her home county in east Tennessee.During the hearing, state Sen. Shannon Grove (R) told Lucas he did not have documentation to show where the money went.
Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., is calling out America’s broken legal immigration system following two terrorist attacks by naturalized U.S. citizens from the Third World.
The moment came on Thursday when the Show Me State’s junior senator joined Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle to discuss the ongoing Democrat-led shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).Schmitt blasted the Democrats’ open border policies and espoused support for the Trump administration’s closing of the U.S.-Mexico border and deportation of illegal aliens. He also notably took the time to address the need to reform the country’s legal immigration system.
