I can guarantee that if I'd been involved in a security episode like Hegseth et al while I was on active duty, the court-martial & discharge would happen within a week. If while I was a Dod contractor, I'd be fired within a day.

But rules are only for normal people, amiright?

Well I'm sitting down in San Antone waiting on the 8 o'clock train.
Since you left me here last night, things ain't been quite the same.

Just finished reading "Careless People," by Sarah Wynne-Williams about Facebook.

The title is about the most gracious she could have chosen.
It could have been:
Arrogant
Clueless
Petulant
Vindictive
Lying
Narcissistic
Harassing People.

Discussions of classified information on unsecured cell phones on an unsecured, commercial messaging app is the direct opposite of "OpSec" & is a security violation even without the invitation of a journalist to participate.

For those who claim yesterday's Super Bowl half-time show is the worst ever, I give you three words:
Up With People

Appeared in five half-time shows with four as headliner. Extremely difficult to find anything worse.

Jimmy Carter RIP

One of the greatest presidents ever and this is a hill I'll die on.

I was in the USAF during his administration and there were fewer US military killed in hostile action than with any other presidency. The strength of restraint

Privatization means "for profit".
YOU are where the profit comes from.
When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit.

But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it.

Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

I'm fairly certain that if there were a true desire to cut the Federal budget, there are billions that could be cut from the DoD budget .

We could start with SpaceX & Starlink contracts since the owner is a known security risk with his unilateral contacts with unfriendly governments

I can't say that I'm particularly surprised that Congress is trying to give themselves a pay raise, complaining that they haven't received a raise since 2009.

Of course, this is the same Congress, refusing to raise the minimum wage even though it has been the same since 2007.

So, this most recent school shooting occurred at a Christian school. I'm fairly sure that Christian schools do a lot of talking about Jesus.

So in this instance, Jesus IS in the school.

What excuse will the gun humpers give now?
