This is extremely well articulated. They seem to forget that the 1950s were funded, not by tariffs, but by some of the highest taxes in history, under President Eisenhower, a Republican.
Now the 50s are problematic for many other reasons

"Israeli officials complained privately to U.S. officials that Waltz’s texts became public," per the report. 🎁🔗

T’wasn’t a flask of Old Crow, so t’wasn’t Hegseth’s kin.
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.

Should you be in the role of DNI if you can't remember.....memory and sharpness seem important in a DNI.
After the Atlantic published the texts this morning, Tulsi Gabbard is confronted today on why she lied in her testimony to the Senate yesterday. She says she misremembered.

Since the dawn of this country, war plans included when ships left port. Sailers were cautioned that "loose lips sink ships."
But a new body of scholarship questions the belief that mentioning when a craft departs and what was on board is a "war plan."
