If you would like to learn more about Syrian refugees and their heroism, read Zeitoun by Dave Eggers. I happened to have just finished it last week and the parallels are hitting hard.

We had a consoler-in-chief and the Washington post wrote a story asking if he talked too much about his dead kids.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.
One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.
The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

The Iraq War was a tragic mistake, but nobody was surprised that the US military took Baghdad in less than a month, even though Iraq is half a world away from the US. Meanwhile, Russia can’t get halfway across a country on its border. Losers.
To those thinking Russia is winning in Ukraine:
Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, we were almost four years into it, only occupied 20 percent, and lost a million men.
Not a soul would call that “winning.”

When U.S. Senator Mark Kelly tells service members to follow the law—not illegal commands—and the President calls for his death, that is authoritarianism.

All military personnel have a duty to not obey unlawful orders. That’s all the six Democratic Members of Congress said. Like everything else Pete Hegseth does, this investigation of Mark Kelly is just performative bullshit for his base. He’s an unserious mouthpiece for an unfit Commander In Chief.
