In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam.
It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

Using our “global strength” to force an invaded country into concessions with an invader makes us complicit with the invader. It’s like returning an abuse victim to the abuser’s home. Shameful. Wrong. Un-American.

Elon Musk pushed out the FAA chief — who resigned 1 year into a 5 year term, last week.
Why? Because last year the FAA fined SpaceX $600,000 — for safety violations.
Now the FAA has no chief — and we just had the first commercial airline crash in 16 years.

Multiple sources reporting that the al-Shifa raid seems to have not gone over great with the White House, coming the same day as officials said hospitals should be protected. Statement from Macron too.
Deterrence by cajoling and providing aid has reached it's limit. Western policy needs to shift.
