You ever walk into a military bar and see that one dude who absolutely nobody fucks with and everyone is a little afraid of? And everyone's got their hats and their jackets with patches proclaiming all sorts of impressive sounding op names, and he's just ... there. No patches, no nothing.
The defense secretary’s theatrics over military operation names sparked laughter heard round the world.

The BU student who complained that prized "American jobs" at a car wash were being given away to immigrants is himself British.

I wonder if he has any opinions on whether prized spots at American universities should or should not be given away to immigrants?
According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.

Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Not the most important point but today's Epstein emails make it clear that Maxwell committed gross perjury in her interview with Todd Blanche, and it will still be within the statute of limitations when President (insert your favorite Dem) takes office in January 2029
