Yes!
Call me old fashioned but I don't think it should be news that a US president won't use force to acquire a long-standing international ally.
The fact that *it is* news is the news.

My dad lived to tell stories about his time in the U.S.N. I lovedthem but never understood how they fit into the narrative of the Korean War and the ships he served on, the USS Coral Sea and the USS Bairoko. Any books that might fill in the blanks?

It is rare indeed that anything I post on social media gets this sort of response. One thing I can count on is whenever it happens, “Dick from the Internet” will make an appearance. Yes, I know that Scott Adams was a bad guy but I do love this cartoon.

Kudos to Rick Wilson for his insights on the MSM this morning. They need to internalize this from Lincoln. @mollyjongfast.bsky.social, @therickwilson.bsky.social and @jessecannon.bsky.social have been lifting my spirits since the days of The New Abnormal.

Officer 2: “Get out of here!”
The confusion is not surprising. The shooting officer had his phone out too.
This deserves a clear and fair investigation
