WARFirst, the good news… Dan Crenshaw…Yes, Crenshaw, the TX GOP Congressman who never met a lie or a war he didn’t like (the latter of which he loves to make others fund), has been “primaried out”. But will he be replaced by a less toxic, closer-to-the-constitution GOP-er? https://youtube.com/shorts/h2cPh1QmHsA?si=3HSgpceXjyhkydIB
IRANThe majority of U.S. Senate members again have trashed their oaths to their delightful fraud of the Constitution, voting 53-47 to reject a resolution that would have halted Trump’s unilateral military aggression against Iran. By voting AGAINST a “war Powers Resolution” (which is not what is necessary, according to the Constitution, but pulls away from what is specified, a Declaration of War), a majority of senators chose to permit Trump to persist in his unilateral military aggression against Iran (just one of the many places he is killing people or working with others to commit mass murder)—a direct violation of the Constitution.
…On their level (which, itself, is a claim of power over people who are supposed to be free and to be able to retain their Natural Rights), Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution grants Congress alone the power to declare war. No president may lawfully initiate or sustain offensive military hostilities without that explicit declaration. Yet Trump, acting as Commander-in-Chief, has launched and escalated attacks on a sovereign nation in concert with Israeli forces, bypassing Congress entirely.
And this vote reveals the depth of the rot: 52 senators (now clarified as 53 in final tally) stood against restraint, while 47—mostly Democrats plus one principled Republican—sought to enforce their slim, dim echo of “constitutional limits.”
Even had the measure passed both chambers, Trump almost certainly would have vetoed it, underscoring how the modern state apparatus enables, rather than checks, such aggression. The US carpet-bombs, wiping out families, small children…
And the true American death toll far exceeds the official figure of six service members killed in the early days of Operation Epic Fury. Credible sources suggest that US casualties may reach into the hundreds, with the administration allegedly suppressing numbers to quell public dissent and opposition.
Meanwhile, U.S. and Israeli strikes have inflicted widespread civilian harm and destruction—acts that fit the definition of war crimes under international law, including indiscriminate bombing and targeting of non-military infrastructure.
This is the predictable fruit of abandoning morality, respect for individual liberty and even constitutional fidelity: a president wages war without consent, Congress rubber-stamps it through inaction, and ordinary Americans—denied their right to remain unmolested by the state’s coercive machinery—bear the human and moral cost. The Senate’s “no” to peace is a resounding “yes” to endless executive war, eroding the very foundations of a free society.

-Shortly before the Senate voted, this man protested in a Senate meeting. Tax-paid guards attacked him, trying to drag him out, and his left wrist got stuck behind one of the open doors, caught between the door and the left frame. Then, as the guards tugged, MT GOP Sen Tim Sheehy grabbed him, shifting him hard, breaking his arm. LINK
The US belligerents in the Gulf released video of them torpedoing an Iranian military vessel, the Iris Dena. They did not attempt to rescue any of the sailors. The US left them to drown. It took Sri Lankan forces to save a few of the survivors.

-Remember, Hegseth notes that the US is conducting Israel’s Mission. LINK
-Michele Bachman, now at Regent U, is obnoxious about her Christian Zionism justification to destroy Iranians LINK
-Now, Trump claims that if the US didn’t strike, Iran would have had a nuke bomb in two weeks. LINK
-More utterly criminal military attacks by US-Israel LINK I guess they hate sports and innocent people.
-Gantz, the former Israeli Def Min is thinking “boots on ground” LINK

DIRECT COSTS IN THE US POCKETSHeadline “The cost of Trump’s Iran war: $5 billion and counting | Responsible Statecraft” LINK
**THE OIL IMPACT, from Kobeissi Letter: “The cost of shipping crude oil from the US to Asia is skyrocketing: It now costs over $29 million to hire a supertanker to take 2 million barrels of crude from the US Gulf Coast to China, the highest on record. Shipping rates have DOUBLED in just two weeks. This means shipping alone costs ~$14.50 per barrel, or a record ~20% of the oil price at current WTI levels of ~$75. The cost of a supertanker as a percentage of the WTI crude oil price has quadrupled since August, when it was ~5%. This comes as the ongoing war in the Middle East has effectively shut down traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, forcing Asian buyers to turn to US barrels. Many supertanker bookings to load crude from the US Gulf Coast have already been canceled over the last 24 hours as costs become unsustainable. Oil supply chains are under historic stress.”
-Oil Price officially over $80 per barrel LINK
More, on gas prices in the US, from Jeffrey Tucker LINK
-This is slamming airlines. LINK
The corruption expands, to gold for US interests. Headline: “Trump officials broker huge US-Venezuela gold deal” LINK
CUBAHeadline: “Cuba files terrorism charges against people in the boat shootout as another outage hits the island” LINK
US ECONOMY - TARIFF TERRORISM
Insane. Bessent says, get ready for even higher tariffs. LINK
FREEDOM OF SPEECHThe “Kids Online Protection Act” proposal clearly is an unconstitutional strongarming of online providers to get them to censor and conform to what the feds desire or do not like. It is a rewording of the pernicious part of Section 230 of the 1996 Telecom Act that gives the feds the power to revoke immunity from state prosecution or interstate-laid defamation suits if the feds find that the ISP or website owner did not “curate” the content in “good faith” as defined by — the feds…. LINK
Ari Cohn, a First Amendment lawyer at FIRE, critiques a KIDS Act provision in the attached bill text excerpt, arguing it imposes an unconstitutional “duty of care” by requiring platforms to enforce “reasonable” policies against harms to minors, effectively attacking all kinds of speech — anything the govt wants to define at “unreasonable.”
The post is part of a live thread on a March 5, 2026, House Energy and Commerce Committee markup of the KIDS Act, an omnibus bill bundling measures like the revised KOSA to curb algorithmic amplification of addictive or harmful content for children.
Cohn contrasts this with Supreme Court precedents barring government mandates on speech distributors to prevent emotional harms, noting risks of FTC gangsterism in defining “reasonable” measures, while acknowledging bipartisan privacy concerns from figures like Rep. Ocasio-Cortez.
FISA Sec 702 - Trump loves it, now… This piece, by Harrison Berger, - who just appeared w Judge Napolitano - is very good, and timely. Headline: “Trump Seeks to Extend Domestic Spying Powers He Once Condemned - The American Conservative” LINK
Here is the Judging Freedom interview:
-Breaking as of 2 pm. “Trump taps Sen. Mullin to replace NOEM “ LINK The rules in their statutes appear to not allow this move. He reportedly FIRED her.
- From a reporter on the area: “East Montana Detention Center where several detainees died & were allegedly killed by guards according to other detainees & a ME is now being closed down because of a measles outbreak & they also had numerous people with Tuberculosis! Several left another Center with Covid today!” LINK The feds might realize that their concentration camps are fertile ground for them to give payoffs to the Pfizers of the world to inject the trapped - “for their owwwn good”
