A warning for other writers: if you're not used to spelling the word "prairie" don't get all cocky and try to blow through it. It might take a while to get it right.

Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

I've gotten a few of these, and they are surprisingly well crafted. They actually describe parts of some short stories and a novella I self-published like 10 years ago. But yeah, it didn't take too much to figure out it was all scammy.
Over on Whatever today I confirm that, indeed, all those emails authors and other writers are getting promising access to readers and book clubs and such are 100% scams, share all the scam emails I got just this morning, and note why they are all awful and bad:

Yes, All Those Author Services and Book Club Emails Are Fake, and No, Don’t Send Them Any Money
If you’re an author, or honestly if you just happen to be standing near an author these days, then you have probably seen a flood of emails in the past couple of months promising you that who…

The most important thing to remember about all this fantasy-engineering of the Constitution is Madison's warning: If we suck as a people, no clever constitutional schemes will save us.

Considering how hateful and vindictive Trump has been towards the Cheneys, it would have been more newsworthy if he had been invited. Because excluding him was a no-brainer.
The president and vice president shouldn't be upset about having missed the service. The service was not political, and they weren't in any way mentioned, as it was not about them in any way. It was about duty and honor and integrity and decency and love, … (1/3)

Very. That's the answer.
Fox Business credulously reports that Saudi Arabia is pushing its investment into the US "to $1 trillion." The entire size of the Saudi economy is $1 trillion. How stupid are these people and/or how stupid do they think their viewers are?

Considering how breathtakingly incompetent Trump's DOJ is, i imagine any scheme where his loyalists somehow try to erase potential crimes from thousands of files will likely explode in spectacular fashion.
Okay, people need to think about what this entails. There are TONS of docs and redacting them is painstaking. And destroying actual evidence isn't like just walking files to the incinerator. And there are thousands and thousands of loyal DOJ and FBI staff who would rat out something like that.
I don't trust anyone in the Republican House. I suspect they know there's zero chance Trump will be on any document they just voted to release. They know Bondi and busy bees at DOJ redacted his name from everything. It explains why they stayed away from DC until they got the all clear to vote ✅

So they arrest them first and then figure out their crimes. Trump's America is a nightmare.
Bovino: "How does that governor know what the criminal record is of that individual hanging Christmas lights? Oftentimes these so-called 'hard workers' have significant criminal histories such as child rape. Does Gov. Stein want those individuals in his house next to his family?"

I used to write pol-mil opinion articles for Yahoo! years ago. Some dude read one of my articles, saw my bio included "former Air Force Intel officer," and concluded i couldn't be trusted because i was being paid by the CIA. So you could say that I AM like Indiana Jones (the one Friends quote i use)
