:facepalm:

Donald Trump’s so-called “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth has earned himself a new nickname, current and former US officials tell us. Among various staffers and officials working within the august confines of the Pentagon and Department of Defense, the former ‘Fox & Friends’ co-host and “death and destruction”-obsessed Trump acolyte is known as “Dumb McNamara.”
I now expect to see everyone eventually referring to this...excursion as Hegseth's war.

Keep in mind this only tracks the grifting fortunes of the Trumps. There's additional riches from the indirect grifting and various side hustles performed by the President's friends, associates and various hangers-on, and those may be incalculable.

I've lost count of the number of firsts Trump has accomplished as a sitting president.

Trump’s signature will soon appear on US dollar bills, a first for a sitting president
US paper currency will soon feature President Donald Trump’s signature going forward, the US Treasury Department announced Thursday, the latest of the president’s efforts to leave his mark across the federal government.

It will be the first time a sitting US president’s signature has appeared on paper notes. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the move is in honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States.
“There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J. Trump than U.S dollar bills bearing his name, and it is only appropriate that this historic currency be issued at the Semiquincentennial,” Bessent said in a press release announcing the move.
There's no celebration I've wanted to be done with more than my nation's birth.

The sequel will probably be better.

I've recently discovered this substack, which contrary to the title is mostly about the US, at least at the moment. Think a very sweary Crocodile Dundee takes on MAGA.


Here's his latest rant


There is something genuinely spectacular about watching a group of grown adults stick their hand into a woodchipper and then stand around screaming about how no one warned them about woodchippers.

Welcome to March 2026. The podcast bros are having their moment. Not the good kind. The kind where you suddenly discover that the 79 year old malignant narcissist you spent 2 years platforming, endorsing, and soft-balling questions to on your little talk shows has turned out to be, and I cannot stress this enough, exactly the fucking person everyone told you he was.

This wasn’t news. This wasn’t journalism. This was a pipeline. A content machine designed to funnel disaffected young men toward a political identity built on vibes, masculinity branding, and a 79 year old con artist in a red hat.
And it worked. Young men swung hard right. More than half of men under 30 voted for Trump.

The Navy: "Flying planes and running along beach heads is fine for other units but we don't trust 42 year olds to be able to swim."

They will still float even when filled with holes, though.

Iran-linked hackers breach FBI director's personal email, publish photos and documents
Iran-linked hackers have broken into FBI Director Kash Patel's personal email inbox, publishing photographs of the director and other documents to the internet, the hackers and ‌the bureau said on Friday.

On their website, the hacker group Handala Hack Team said Patel "will now find his name among the list of successfully hacked victims." The hackers published a series of personal photographs of Patel sniffing and smoking cigars, riding in an antique convertible, and making a face while taking a picture of himself in the mirror with a large bottle of rum.
Seems like just the right guy to have this happen to.

(I'm praying there's no selfie nudes of Patel in the image...cash.)

Another Trump official making it clear they haven't a clue what's in the U.S. Constitution.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi is being slammed by Fox viewers for calling American citizenship a “privilege.”

Bondi made the false claims during a Fox News panel on Friday, much to viewers' aghast.

"Being a citizen in our country is a privilege, not a right. And Donald Trump is going to have everyone in this country who deserves to be here, who is a citizen," Bondi said during a guest appearance on the conservative television network.
Despite Bondi’s claims, the 14th Amendment is a constitutional right for those born or naturalized in the U.S. It guarantees birthright citizenship for those born in the 50 states or most territories.
A reporter for The Mirror can learn this. Why can't Pam Bondi?
