Ignoring vaccine science, ignoring forest science to promote increased logging, ignoring pollution science, squelching research at universities, interfering with national science foundation grants, killing off disease research, but then wanting to know how to advance science…

that's not fog of war. When you're sitting in central command watching from a video, you are in the opposite of fog of war. You have maximum tactical data available to you.
Fog of war is for soldiers engaged in combat on the ground, who have limited tactical data and no perspective.

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

The student gotchas might be the second most disruptive thing happening in higherEd. It’s the Heritage “debate me” model with the Turning Point edgelord leveling-up.
You know that OU student who was failed by her professor for getting all biblical in her paper? When you read the actual article she was assigned to respond to, it becomes pretty fucking clear that she didn't do the assignment. She didn't respond to it. She wrote her own bullshit.

Striking a boat full of unarmed civilians is murder. The first strike was murder. The followup strike was also murder.
We're not at war. It's not a "war crime". Everyone involved, including the POTUS, SecDef, the Admiral who relayed it and the person who pressed the button needs to be on trial.

Using 'rural communities' as a pretext for eliminating a safe staffing mandate is diabolical; do we not deserve safe staffing? 'We can't afford staffing,' say the private equity firms snapping up nursing homes and treating them like ATMs while long-term care residents suffer.
Trump reversing the safe staffing mandate is his way of saying, “Happy Holidays and I hope your loved ones die.”
Trump administration repeals Biden-era nursing home staffing mandate
HHS repealed the rule on Tuesday, which would have required nursing homes to increase staffing, saying the regulations would have disproportionately harmed rural communities.

All of those are proven to save lives — and at a fraction of AVs' cost.

It's widely reported that he was recruited by the CIA in 2011 for a death squad. It was also widely reported that he's 29. It is NOT widely reported that that means he was 15 at the time.
