If it flies, floats, submerges, or gets me into orbit, I'm onboard. The sky provokes all my opinions. Give me all the nuclear energy! 😉

A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

Is Congress going to let Trump wag the dog today without a new AUMF? Or is everyone cool with pulling the 2001 AUMF from underneath the mattress because Trump says Venezuela checks off the "terrorists" and "WMD" boxes? 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️

Just sent out this free piece. Its being said that what Trump is doing with Putin is similar to what FDR did with Stalin at Yalta. Nothing could be further from the truth. Trump could easily weaken a dictatorship and strengthen a democracy if he wanted. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

A reminder; Trump supports the man responsible for this atrocity, and countless others like it.
💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.
The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

This is only going to get worse. ICE/CBP can violate constitutional rights because there is no accountability. Masked men, unmarked vehicles, and MRAPs, increasingly staffed by individuals that would make the Proud Boys and Atomwaffen proud.

So, between the first and second run, there was no time to get a clear evaluation of the status of the target? Why wouldn't SecDef clarify how such an evaluation necessitated a second run?

Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?
HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

I'm still astonished that the adults in the room, even without their spines, haven't been able to convince Trump that Putin doesn't care about peace. He only cares about buying time because that's how he wins. Shamelessly (and curiously), Trump has obliged him at every turn.
