He was drunk although he promised the Senators on the committee he would stop drinking if approved
We didn’t hit it twice
We did hit it twice and that’s legal
The Admiral did it
We didn’t see them
I’m in the fog of war and you’re not even though I am right where you are

Before Bradley, TrumpSeth pushed out 4-star Adm Alvin #Holsey, US Southern Command. Holsey had raised concerns about attacks on the alleged drug boats-- NYT Oct 16 2025. This distinguished officer served his country for 37 years but he is Black & TrumpSeth don't want Black men making decisions.

It's a lot easier to be morally upright when you're not pinching and scraping to make a living… which makes the immorality of the wealthy even more unforgivable.

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.
Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.
Pure, mindless, barbarism.

Yes. Google already used my book #AnHonorableGerman as one of thousands they stole to train their AI but at least the Authors Guild won 1.5 billion lawsuit against them. But this is what is really upsetting, all the people involved knew that you can't steal copyrighted material but did it.
Every celebrity that does ads for AI is betraying their own community. Shun them. #AIslop
Looking at you losers Pete Davidson, Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConnaughy
Who’d I miss?

and now he wants to bring down Sen Mark Kelly, (Captain, retired, US Navy), who served his country for more than twenty years and was one of our gallant astronauts.
The Convicted FElon said he was stopping drugs from coming into the country. Well pardoning a drug trafficking former president, who is in prison, is not stopping the drugs.
He is a criminal helping a criminal. He is locking up people who are contributing to the country while release real criminals.

Trident conference, Washington. The commanders and politicians decided to attack Sicily & drive the Italians out of the war. As hosts, the US ensured there would be plenty fresh fruit, steak dinners, coffee, cigarettes, & alcohol for several hundred British military personnel present

The tank is a German #Tiger captured by Allied Forces in WWII near Tunis, North Africa. Tigers needed an immense amount of maintenance and were often captured because they ran out of fuel. The tank had tens of thousands of parts. #tigertank #Wehrmacht

Watch this.
Open your eyes to this brutality.
ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.
Now share this.
Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.
You have power.
Even sharing this video exerts that power.

The shadow is what you will become if you don't control your appetite, and the best way to do this is by #chainsmoking #cigarettes #luckystrikes #Stalin crumbled 3LuckyStrikes in his pipe and smoked them. Good old #UncleJoe. He only #killed40 million people. Mistakes were made.

Inside the wreck of World War 2-era German destroyer Georg Thiele, which fought in both the naval battles in the Narvik Fjord and had to be beached to avoid sinking. It's a popular diving site now.

The German #Zerstörer 1934A class destroyer Z11 #BerndvonArnim beached and scuttled in the fjord #Rombaksbotn near #Narvik in #Norway. Second Battle of Narvik. The swastika is an aircraft recognition symbol. Fortunately, in the two naval engagements, the RN sank half of Germany's modern destroyers
