God I hope this special is what does him in. It won’t, but I can still hope.
Trump: We track Santa. We want to make sure that Santa is being good. We want to make sure that he's not infiltrated, that we're not infiltrating into our country a bad Santa. Santa loves Oklahoma like I do. You know, Oklahoma was very good to me in the election

Presidementia: you sound cute. I probably won your state by the biggest margin in human history.
Trump to child from Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania is great, we won Pennsylvania, actually three times. We won it a landslide.

Let’s be honest. If Sleep Number 47 wants a ship named after him, and insist on going retro, make it a prison hulk. He can retire there, too.

I’ve seen Ukrainian cruise missiles and sea drones make Russian warships burn off Crimea. So, no.

New Bari Weiss & CBS leadership note to staff—

“…Americans say they do not trust the press…To win back their trust, we have to work hard.”

“Sometimes it means telling unexpected stories…sometimes it means holding a piece about an important subject to make sure it is comprehensive and fair.”

I slipped into being a military historian because:

1. I was told genocide studies could be within its purview (Thanks @drrobthompson.com).

2. If I want to write about Indigenous genocide in 18th Century North America, between King William's War & Tecumseh's War, there is no other box to be in.
90% of military history is about where the latrines are dug. You cannot make war if you have dysentery.

Please avoid this man at all costs. When he isn't harassing women in the military for...well...existing...he's surreptitiously placing his own publications on the MCU campus.
This jackalope tracked me down on LinkedIn and started his usual nonsense. “Congenital troll,” indeed. Block on sight.
