It’s being reported that her resignation was officially tied to her husband’s recent diagnosis of bone cancer, a reason that understandably allows for a graceful exit and offers a personal justification for stepping away from such a demanding position.

The news of Gabbard’s resignation comes after a period where her effectiveness and allegiances have been questioned by various observers. There’s a prevailing sentiment that her tenure might have been more about disruption than dedicated service to national security.… Continue reading

Turkey significantly reduced its holdings of US Treasury bonds in March, selling nearly all of its $14 billion in assets.

The sale aims to raise US dollars to support the depreciating Turkish lira, which has lost value as inflation concerns mount, with forecasts suggesting it could reach 30 percent this year.

Armed Forces Brewing Company, a right-wing pander brand, has filed a $50 million lawsuit against individuals and groups who criticized its business practices. The brewery, which closed in March 2025 after a short tenure in Norfolk, alleges a coordinated campaign of defamation and interference designed to destroy the company. Critics, however, contend that the lawsuit is a retaliation against local residents and activists who voiced valid concerns about the brewery’s behavior and ideology, rather than a legitimate response to unlawful actions. The company, led by CEO Alan Beal, has consistently blamed a “woke mob” for its closure and continues to claim persecution despite its controversial marketing and public incidents.

Despite President Trump’s threat to resume military action if satisfactory answers are not provided, he expressed a willingness to extend diplomatic efforts, highlighting the importance of avoiding war.
