Only the military remains outside Trump’s grip. Despite the firing of several top officers—and his threat to fire more—the U.S. armed forces are still led by generals and admirals whose oath is to the Constitution, not the president. But for how long?

Winds of War and War and Remembrance by Herman Wouk.
Bibliophiles: Let's do some book recommendations on the topic of war.
My favorite book about war (although calling it "favorite" seems almost sacrilegious given the nature of the subject) is With the Old Breed, about the Marines at Peliliu in WWII.
What books on war do you all recommend?

But because I refuse to let the people who are doing such great damage to our country ruin this day for me. I love my country. I love what my country stands for. And for what it can be when it reaches its promise. No matter how long it takes, we will make sure it does, together.
Happy fourth y’all.
Happy fourth y’all.

Pickett's Charge. 163 years ago this afternoon.
We stand again at a crossroads in 2025.
To paraphrase Lincoln, shall these have died in vain? Shall government of the people, by the people, and for the people perish from the earth?

It’s just around 1pm on a sweltering 87-degree day in the green fields and woods of Adams County, PA. The morning was rent by battle as Meade ordered the XII, XI, and I Corps to regain their hold on Culps Hill which is successful. It has been relatively quiet save for scattered skirmishing

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws
Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.
Gov Mills: See you in court
