Spanish Opposition Leader exposes Spanish Socialist PM, Pedro Sánchez, in scathing Parliament speech: "He's the 'pacifist' who sells bombs to Iran and has his face plastered on IRGC missiles. He wants war to hide his corruption, crimes, betrayals and the situation to which he has condemned Spain"

Republican presidents send maternal deaths soaring when they take office: study

Rage bait headline that is all most reactionary libs will read.

Quote
When Republican presidents take power in the United States, women around the world die at higher rates during pregnancy and childbirth, according to a new peer-reviewed study.

Research published in BMJ Global Health found that global family planning aid drops sharply under Republican administrations and surges by 48% when Democrats take over, the Guardian reported Wednesday.

For countries heavily dependent on U.S. aid, the consequences are dire. Funding cuts correlate with an 11% increase in maternal deaths — roughly 45 additional deaths for every 100,000 live births.

Emphasis mine

The study for the curious with this fascinating beginning assumption

What is already known on this topic

    Access to abortion care is central to women’s health and wellbeing, and the GGR has interrupted a range of family planning programmes with follow-on impacts on service provision, fertility rates and access to health inputs.

The DUmpster / Gas issue not a problem for my family

Gas issue not a problem for my family

One of our cars is a 2025 Subaru EV Soltera. No gas, no oil, etc Range of 240 miles.

The other vehicle is a 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4XE plug-in hybrid. We fill it with gas when we hit half a tank as the work commute uses EV power and no gas. We have filled it 3 times in the last year and use gas on occasion to keep fuel fresh.

While gas is not a problem, the gas coming out of the GOP political vehicle is annoying.

The Supreme Court Just Dealt a Blow to the Dems' Plan to Persecute ICE Agents If They Retake Power

The Democrats have made it painfully, frighteningly clear that they intend to weaponize the government against President Trump, his allies, and anyone who didn't sufficiently "resist" the Trump administration if they regain power. Susan Rice said last month, "When it comes to the elites, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media...it is not going to end well for them, for those that decided...that they would act in their perceived very narrow self interest," Rice said, "which I would underscore is a very short-term self-interest and take a knee to Trump."
...
The biggest target thus far of the Democrats' retribution plans is ICE agents. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner vowed to hunt them down like Nazis. Eric Swalwell said he'd make their lives a living hell if he's elected Governor of California. And several states, including Maryland and Rhode Island, have introduced legislation that would bar ICE agents from obtaining law enforcement jobs in those states, while Colorado advanced a bill allowing lawsuits against ICE agents.

The Supreme Court, however, has made it clear that the Democrats' revenge plans may not pass constitutional muster, and they ruled against the Second Circuit and upheld that a Vermont officer had immunity.

This ruling affirms "Qualified Immunity" when a LEO is performing their duty. It does not preclude Dem lawfare against ICE officers, but it will cramp their "creativity" if they try it in court.

Medal of Honor Day: The Navy Chaplain Who Helped Save an Aircraft Carrier

https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2026/03/25/medal-of-honor-day-the-navy-chaplain-who-helped-save-an-aircraft-carrier-n4951066

It was March 1945, and a Japanese bomber strike had turned the USS Franklin aircraft carrier’s flight deck into a blazing inferno. A middle-aged man with a cross on his helmet was organizing firefighting crews, tending to the wounded, and finding sailors skilled in bomb disabling all at once. As Sam Rhodes worked feverishly on pitching a bomb overboard, as directed by the man with the cross, he thought, “Well… if I go up with a bomb, at least I go with a priest.”

Today is Medal of Honor Day, commemorating those who received America's highest military honor. I highly recommend reading the stories of men who recently received the Medal of Honor from President Donald Trump. But in this piece, I'm going to focus on a Catholic Navy chaplain later described by his non-religious captain as "the bravest man I have ever seen."
...
Fr. Joseph Timothy O’Callahan, U.S. Navy chaplain, was eating in the wardroom on March 19, 1945 (the feast day of his namesake St. Joseph), when the semi-armor piercing shells hit the Franklin's flight deck. At the time, dozens of planes were either in the hangar or actually on the flight deck, their tanks filled with fuel. Or, in other words, they were now part of the reason the enemy strike turned the Franklin into an inferno.

A minor correction ... the USS Franklin was hit by a "Judy" dive bomber with two 250 Kg (~550 lb. each) semi-armor-piercing bombs. The last USN fleet carrier lost in WW2 was USS Hornet, in 1942. A couple of light carriers and escort carriers were lost later in the war. The Yorktown and Essex class carriers were really robust, and USN damage control saved ships that the IJN would have lost.

Mueller staffed his shamvestigation with Trump-Haters, yet for all their 2+ years of corrupt and criminal actions, they came up with zero. It's almost as if reality is as Reich-Wing as DU-grade Progs feeeeeeeeel it is.

I've seen them used in a California Pizza Kitchen to deliver food to the tables.  They didn't have arms to flail about and were basically like an R2-D2 droid with a flat head where the food tray rested.  My grandson loved it.

The artificially high "minimum" wage set by gooberment fiat has had several predictable consequences:

* Jobs lost;

* Some employees replaced by robots - cooking food and delivering food;

* Some employees replaced with ordering kiosks, e.g. the Taco Bell near us where orders are kiosk-only;

* Some businesses driven out of business;

* Pols thinking they've accomplished something and feel good.
