They were sent to be a "visible presence"--essentially, bait. A terrible misuse of these troops.

Whatever the motivation or flavor of radicalization of the shooter (and I don't know anything about them), Hegseth and Trump sending those troops to be a "visible presence" was using them as bait.

He (Hegseth) really wants to keep provoking and seems to be hoping to escalate a terrible situation.

They were there as "high visibilty" troops--for whoever finds a reason to use them for target practice for their own ugly motives. Anything known about the person in custody?

Also, I saw an old recipe that was a custard filling with pecans and not nearly as sweet. So, that's something

I want to hear about these solutions. Candidates for election (and re-election) need to be clear about what they will do. What are they FOR?

All of this is true, so we need someone who knows what to do about this. It isn't enough to just point out the problems.

Marrying a young woman who has not yet figured out what she wants or who she is--is risking disaster. There's a small chance it can work out, but I wouldn't want them to count on it. Marrying a fantasy is risky.

Did he die of old age in the Tower of London? Golly, what happened?

Mamdani has to work with the feds to succeed. That's reality. Yes, he charmed the pants off Trump when we all wish he could do something else. Mamdani got what he needed and still didn't suck up. And that was a master class.

So, they don't want competence. The regime wants and apparently gets contractors who will do what they are told.
November 21, 2025 at 2:57 PM
The regime is always testing to see what they can get away with. Pushing back constantly is exhausting

The question, as always, is how far can this delusion spread. Who tells him no?
