Q: Can you confirm that CBP actually hit a party balloon it thought was a drone with a laser? And why wasn't that coordinated with the FAA?
KRISTI NOEM: You know, this was a joint agency task force, um, mission that was undertaken. And um, we're continuing to work on communication

Again, this is for military families in Fort Bragg. This is ostensibly a military event and therefore nonpartisan. (Also, Braxton Bragg was a terrible general, even by Confederacy standards).
Trump, speaking to troops in North Carolina, is now attacking ex-governor and Democratic Senate candidate Roy Cooper as a "disaster" who was culpable for a woman getting her "throat slit"

Alex was an ICU nurse who cared for our veterans with unmatched kindness— making every patient feel seen and always willing to cover shifts for his colleagues.
His final words to a woman pushed down by federal agents: “Are you OK?”
He should be alive today.

I'm all for pardons and second chances. But it's a hell of a juxtaposition to pardon millionaire NFL players convicted of drug distribution while you're summarily executing impoverished fishermen making a few hundred bucks to shuttle drugs around the Caribbean.

Two of them were convicted drug traffickers. But hey, they were former NFL players so they shouldn’t have to endure those kinds of things on their records. As usual, follow the money.

Dude regularly works for Disney, DreamWorks, Netflix and CN so speculate away. But this sucks no matter which studio is doing it, and gross to think some major movie this year is running with a plagiarized image from ChatGPT.

I miss the era when things were otherwise running so uneventfully the press would feast on a sex scandal like this until someone blinked.
Corey Lewandowski "fired a U.S. Coast Guard pilot after [Kristi] Noem's blanket was left behind on a plane" — a decision that was reversed when they realized they needed someone to take them home.
People said Noem and Lewandowski "do little to hide their relationship inside the department."

I've always wanted to adapt this as an actual TV series
If they remade THE STEPFORD WIVES (1975) today there would be no suspense, because all the robots would have Mar-a-Lago face.
The original is on Tubi if you'd like to celebrate the anniversary of its premiere. #FilmSky
