Educated. Concerned.
Mostly I try to follow people who have something important to say, or who I can learn from, or who I respect.
If you are mean to me, I will block you in a heartbeat without a second thought. I have no time for rude behavior.

For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment.
When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.

Another possible remaining Yule tradition is the Yule goat.
Throughout Sweden during the Christmas season, large goats are constructed out of straw.
This tradition might have originated as a tribute to the god Thor, who was said to ride in a chariot pulled by goats.

Whatever anyone thinks of rank, experience, or interpersonal respect, “don’t ask questions” is terrible leadership.
An admiral leading an entire combatant command probably knows some things. And such a person will sometimes need to ask things to do their job well.
Can’t believe I have to say that.

1. This is not how anyone talks to an O-10.
2. This is certainly not how a 40 year-old ex-O-4 talks to an O-10.
3. This is the most dumbshit company grade officer crap imaginable. No competent commander tells a senior officer not to ask questions.
4. He may as well have called Holsey "boy."

Aaaaaand…this is exactly why the six lawmakers needed to remind servicemembers about not obeying unlawful orders (this will get driven home when Hegseth gets a pardon but no one else does)
NYT:
Five officials told us that Hegseth had nothing to do with the second strike
Washpost (which broke the story 2 days ago):
“This is ‘protect Pete’ bullshit,”
and
“It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.”

I see I have done a lot of reposting lately, and not posting very much. So, here is a post. I am curious if the UAP / UFO situation will ever resolve itself. A stray thought perhaps, but still curious.

Its Gerrymandering. It has produced a situation of race to extremes in position. People no longer have to get along with their neighbor. However, 50% of the country considers themselves to be Independents. Not sure how this will play out. Also, a state media outlet that lies.
