Hegseth talking about getting back to basics…how about if DoD starts with spelling on name tents for Cabinet Secretaries?

Reminds me of the scene in ‘What Lies Beneath’ when Madison’s spirit reaches up to grab Norman and pull him down into the water…Virginia and all the victims deserve the sunlight that is about to splash across all of this…

I’ve already optimistically marked Vandy green…Texas, of course, is a lost cause…

Yep we are at 7 hard no’s…

Vanderbilt “has concerns” and will probably refuse…

Texas has indicated it is happy to comply, but has yet to formally accept…

We took the kids in July. Hadn’t been in the East Wing in a while - the ‘autopen’ portrait was up and there were other absurdities around (like this photo), but the rest was at least in place…such a shame

So amazing, the dimness

Arlington showed up! We had a great time with the kids and with folks of all ages showing that so many people want what’s right and good for our country…

We jumped to the Ballston No Kings event after soccer…sponsored by the assisted living facility on the square, it was awesome for the kids to see the older generations standing up for basic rights and sanity…

In Ballston at Welburn Square - not enough time to make it into the city for this one but still a good one…and yes I’m wearing a sandwich board…

We are ready to go in Arlington, kids are excited plus I’m bringing a big American flag…

She also noted that there has been false info put out by DHS about the 13 yr old having a weapon etc - which the police chief said isn’t true.

A peaceful protest is planned. Thanks again for posting the info

Another good headline, showing the dangers of green energy…praise Trump for shutting down these dangerous projects!

Heritage Foundation building, yesterday in DC…think about the expense and logistics involved to get that monster sign made and installed…

Then dipshit loses his pistol and magazine, and lunges for them, losing all awareness and control.

And his dipshit buddy, who was equally not ever in control, now just straddles the individual and - draws *his* weapon?

Why? Because he saw his buddy dive forward and has no idea what’s going on.
