If ‘Die Hard’ is a Christmas movie so is my favorite spy film. Time for my annual rewatch.

Hegseth orders the murder of the survivors.
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."
This is a war crime.

Saudade is the Brazilian word for the sadness we feel for happy memories. Such a beautiful word that expresses so much.

The cover of the video is deceptive. Click on it and you'll see.This is Rick wilson on MTG, and how she only disagreed with trump on only three things. Not enlightened but self-interested.

Panama did it without blowing them out of the water, and they weren't fishermen.
Last week, the US military missed an actual drug boat in the Pacific carrying 13.2 tons of narcotics, which Panama seized—one of the largest hauls to date. Instead of blowing it out of the water, 10 suspects were arrested, and valuable intelligence was gathered. What a concept.

Today, I remember Corporal Nathan Cirillo, of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada, who was standing guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, victim of a shooting at Canada's Parliament Hill in Ottawa in 2014.

A Dutch war cemetery added displays showing black US soldiers. Then they were quietly removed
Relatives fear the move is part of ‘the same virus affecting the US’, as historians and politicians say it coincided with Trump’s DEI purge

Poilievre's leadership perfectly described.
D'Entremont describes Poilievre's leadership as a "frat party" that sounds like a cabal of mean girls focussed on unquestioned loyalty and scoring cheap points than moving from relentless negativity to solutions. #cdnpoli
d'ENTREMONT: "I think people saw that I wasn't being utilized within my party and they were reaching out... But I tell you what really made it, what sealed the deal is when I got yelled at when this became part of the news on Tuesday."

And he wonders why there was a blue tsunami two days ago. Or maybe it's punishing the American electorate, which of course will goad them into making sure he's not on the next ballot either.
