The only two six masted schooners in the world, the George W. Wells and the Eleanor Percy, collided off the coast of Cape Cod in fair weather. Both would need to be repaired.
Kaitlan Collins: "Mr. President, what would you say to sex abuse survivors of Epstein who haven’t seen justice”
Donald Trump: “You know, I’ve never seen you smile”
Man, that's creepy.
I wonder how many teenage girls head that after they were raped at Epstein Island?

Trump claimed in an interview with the New York Post that Venezuela failed to get their AAA rockets off the ground during the U.S.'s raid as the US used a "discombobulator" on them.
Um. . .sure.
In a bit of a defense for the deranged prince, what the military probably was referring to was an electronic jamming system. While no doubt the most recent variants are quite advanced, such systems have been around for a very long time.
Trump's incredibly racist post depicting the Obama's as apes was taken down and blamed on a staffer.
Um. . . sure.
Trump is also claiming that the US has wanted a triumphal arch for 200 years, with is complete nonsense and which is only slightly less weird than his claim that Presidents have wanted the giant outhouse he hopes to build for 100 years.

Loss of inhibitions can be a sign of dementia.

A spoiled brat and a real estate developer by trade, he sees the world through a pinhole. His mind is turning to much. He needs to be removed.

I flew to Iraq. I was extremely brave. I said to my people, 'Am I allowed to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor?'…Someday I'm going to try. I'm going to test the law

Greenland is presently taking care of a U.S sailor evacuated from a U.S. submarine. . . by a Danish Seahawk helicopter.
Trump is completely delusional. He should be removed.
Greenland doesn't need this, and moreover, Greenland's universal healthcare is something Americans lack. If anything, Denmark should send a hospital ship to us.
This is patently absurd. Frankly, at this point, anyone supporting Trump is not doing so out of faith in him, unless they're just willfully ignorant. So outside of that, why on Earth is anyone not demanding that he be removed?

This is the first installment of this since Trump ignored his advisers and launched a war against Iran that he thought might last a few days and bring him a big victory.
It isn't. It's wrecking the economy and there's no end in sight. He is, of course, having a complete fit:
Given this, the stress of his complete impotence here is going to get worse and worse, and probably with that, his behavior He's threatening not to directly take on the Press, which may finally cause the US press to grow a spine.
And things may be beginning to finally happen:
We are now in a very dangerous place in the globe. Trump is an immoral man, and he's demented. He's also getting desperate. At some point my guess is he'll start asking Hegseth about what nuclear weapons might do here. And he will commit, to some degree, U.S. ground forces.

In his madness and frustration over his massive, and frankly stupid, miscalculation over Iran's reaction to being attacked in an illegal war by the US, Donald Trump is now resorting to broadcasting his illegal intentions on social media. If Iran does not open the Straits of Hormuz, which its not going to, he's going to order US forces to illegally strike the electrical power structure of Iran.
Trump is a monster. The 25th Amendment must be invoked now.
With Trump reaching new levels of barbarism and insanity, we will close with this edition.
March 24, 2026
And with this entry, which nails it, we'll go on to a new edition.
To sum it up, Donald Trump is insane.

The Icelandic Coast Guard vessel ICGV Týr rammed the Royal Navy frigate HMS Andromeda which was escorting two British fishing trawlers in what Iceland claimed as its territorial waters in the first confrontation of the Third Cod War.
The Týr is still in service. The HMS Andromeda went on to serve in the Falklands War and was decommissioned in 1983.
Argentine guerilla commander Roberto Quieto was captured by soldiers in Martinez, Argentina during a raid on a warehouse. He'd betray his confederates under torture.
Quieto was a lawyer by training and would disappear while in Argentine captivity in 1976.
Both Chile and Argentina went through a period like this, called the Dirty War in Argentina.
Down 14-10 with 32 seconds remaining on the clock, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach threw a long pass to win the game. Interviewed later, he'd say:
It's a play you hit one in a hundred times if you're lucky. It's a Hail Mary pass. You throw it up and pray he catches it.
Staubach thereby coined, unintentionally the phrase that's irreverently used to refer to such desperate passes in football today. I dislike the phrase so much I thought about not posting it here, but it's so frequently used, I relented.

As Emperor, he had participated in an anti French rebellion while only 16 years old, an event which lead to the French removing him from his throne. He thereafter went into exile on Réunion Island, where he retained pro independence views. During World War Two he held anti Vichy views and entered the Free French Navy, and then Army, when the island was liberated from Vichy. DeGaulle, realizing how desperate the situation in French Indochina was, was having him returned to Vietnam where he would have been re-installed as Emperor, which would have amounted to deposing Boa Dai, who had sided with Vichy. His untimely death left the Communist dominated Viet Minh as the only real functioning anti colonial force in the region.
Still highly regarded in Vietnam, most Vietnamese cities have streets named after him. His remains were reinterred in Vietnam in 1987.
The Red Chinese won the Gaoyou–Shaobo Campaign in which the Nationalist troops were principally made up of units that had formerly collaborated with the Japanese.
Admiral of the Fleet Roger John Brownlow Keyes, 1st Baron Keyes, who in spite of his age saw some service in World War Two, died at age 73.
Last edition:
Donald Trump, graduate of the Wharton School of Business, has no grasp of mathematics or history. He's become the poster boy for questioning the intellectual value of an Ivy League education.
And very clearly, one of the things he doesn't understand is shipbuilding and naval warfare.
For decades now military theorist have wondered if the pride of the US Navy, the supercarrier, is actually obsolete. The speculation began as early as the 1970s when really good long range air to surface and surface to surface anti shipping missiles appeared on the scene. The viability of such missiles was proven during the Falklands War when Exocet missiles in Argentine hands sank the HMS Sheffield and the cargo ship Atlantic Conveyor and severely damaged the HMS Glamorgan. The Exocet went into production in 1975, and while still around, it's undoubtedly the case that it's improved over the last 50 years and there are other missiles around that are just as good or better. The U.S. Navy started worrying about such missiles just as soon as they were produced, but the Navy's large supercarriers have never had to encounter them.
That is, in part, because we have not fought a peer to peer conflict since World War Two. In spite of that, it's worth noting that the U.S. military has not exactly shown itself invincible in wars less than that. The North Koreans and Chinese, the former of which only had an army from around 1946 or so, and the latter of which had just come out of a largescale civil war and which chose to deploy, to no small degree, troops who were conscripted out of the losing side of that war, fought us and our UN allies to a standstill in Korea. Starting about a decade later we fought and ultimately were defeated by an Army that was quite primitive in comparison to our own, although a lot of that defeat was a morale issue. Since that time we've fought and beat Iraq twice, but we were never able to prevail in Afghanistan, in no small part due to a major strategic miscalculation by Donald Rumsfeld, and our current Oval Office occupant ended up surrendering to the Taliban.
Now, of course, there's been very little naval action in anything that I've mentioned, but that shouldn't really give us any comfort. What naval action that has occured since 1945 shows that long distance anti ship warfare had improved remarkably since 1945. The Argentines, not wanting to be exposed to it, didn't evey deploy an aircraft carrier it had during the Falklands War.
Now, of course, people are pointing out that the awkwardly named Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) has the most combat ships in the world, although its not regarded as the most powerful. That would be the U.S. Navy. The U.S. Navy, with its supercarriers, holds that title, and it should. But it can't be ignored that Ukraine has proven that sinking ships is now pretty possible with air and sea drones.
That's where the future of naval warfare is, not with vanity "battleships".
Indeed, that was proven in 1941.

The Navy knows that, but senior military officers right now know that if they want to keep their jobs they have to feed the demented monkey in Trump's brain. And that brain isn't pegging out on the smarts meter by any means. Statements by Donald Trump show him to be in the full grasp of dementia and raise questions on whether he was every very sharp.
He's also incredibly vain.
And more than a little scared.
Being vain and scared, he's quite easy to manipulate. Given the chance to name something after himself, and believe that it will be around after his body is rotting in its grave, which will be quite soon, he'll take the bait. And hence the Trump Class of "battleship".
It'll never happen.
It takes at least two year to design a warship, and often multiples of that. And then it takes another two to five years to build it. Trump no doubt plans on being living at age 90, but he won't be, and his demented brain will be reduced to complete mush should he live that long. The Navy knows that, but the Navy likes to have money and ship projects bring in money. Every since World War Two the U.S. military has engaged in acquisitions of things it didn't need for one reason or another, and the Army has proven that even a simple project like designing an assault rifle can take so long that a person who entered the overall task early in his career can retire before its done.
And hence António de Oliveira Salazar.
_%E2%80%93_Lisboa.jpg)
Salazar was the Portuguese dictator who came into power in 1932 and who fell into ill health and suffered a stroke in 1968. The Portuguese government replaced him and he died 1970. But they never told him. He was simply given glowing reports on how well everything was going and assured he was still running the show.
I'm pretty convinced that's more or less what's going on with Trump right now.
The Navy is simply going to slow roll this project. Glowing reports are going to be given to the Demented Dear Leader. The entire project will go swimmingly. Meanwhile, others will report the same on the White House Ballroom. Neither will ever be built.
Indeed, already the palace intrigue is on. J.D. Vance is gathering allies. Mike Pence is scooping up Heritage Foundation defectors. Congressmen and Senators who are too tainted with the stench of MAGA, or who don't want to be there when Trump falls and takes MAGA out with it, are abandoning their offices to go on to new pursuits, readying themselves to reemerge cleansed from the inevitable bunker scenes that are already beginning to happen.
The news reported a Villa defeat.
Henry Ford Abandons His Peace Ship
Last edition:
Commanding General of the U.S. Army William Tecumseh Sherman wrote to Lt. Gen. Philip Sheridan :
I know that the matter of the Black Hills was settled in all events for this year. In the spring it may result in collision and trouble.. . . I understand that the president and the Interior Department will wink at it.
Texas Ranger Captain Leander McNelly and his men crossed into Mexico to retrieve more than 200 stolen cattle. He was backed by troops of the U.S. Army, but they did not cross. The Rangers advanced on the stronghold of Juan Flores Salinas, local leader of the rural guard at the Rincon de Cucharras outpost of the Las Cuevas ranch and a battle ensued in which about 80 Mexican militiamen were killed, and McNelly ordered a retreat back across the river. The Army covered his retreat across the river with a Gatling Gun.
At that point, Major A. J. Alexander from Fort Ringgold arrived with a message from Colonel Potter at Fort Brown, which read:
Advise Captain McNelly to return at once to this side of the river. Inform him that you are directed not to support him in any way while he remains on Mexican territory. If McNelly is attacked by Mexican forces on Mexican soil, do not render him any assistance. Let me know if McNelly acts on this advice.
McNelly advised the Army that he would not comply.
At sundown, another message arrived:
Major Alexander, commanding: Secretary of War Belknap orders you to demand McNelly return at once to Texas. Do not support him in any manner. Inform the Secretary if McNelly acts on these orders and returns to Texas. Signed, Colonel Potter.
McNelly issued the reply, which was:
In less than a minute, Captain McNelly penned his now famous reply:
Near Las Cuevas, Mexico, Nov. 20 1875. I shall remain in Mexico with my rangers and cross back at my discretion. Give my compliments to the Secretary of War and tell him and his United States soldiers to go to hell. Signed, Lee H. McNelly, commanding.
Over the Rio Grande his force encountered resistance. Up to 80 Mexicans were killed in the battle before he retreated. A smaller force of Rangers would cross the border the following day and recover over 400 stolen cattle.
McNelly's troops crossed again on the 21st and proceeded to a customs house where the cattle had been moved to, and which were now promised to be returned. The Mexican officer in charge refused to treat with him on a Sunday, which it now was and was taken prisoner. The prisoner was threatened with death and around 400 cattle were crossed into Texas.
McNelly died of tuberculosis in 1877 at age 33. A liberty ship was named after him during World War Two.
