Trump and Witkoff are negotiating on behalf and for the benefit of Russia, the country now sending troops to Venezuela to train their military on how to kill US soldiers as they continue to murder Ukrainian citizens daily...

A few weeks ago people said that Russia wouldn’t get involved in defending Venezuela against the US.
I disagreed.
I’m not psychic. Russia has a history of smiling to your face while plotting your death. They’re the cats of countries.

Epstein’s Lolita Express took its last flight in 2016 and sat abandoned at Georgia’s Brunswick Airport when photographed in 2020. This is the same jet that’s believed to have carried his trafficking victims & long list of secret VIPs.

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.
Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

Contrary to what you might read on Axios, DOJ is not filing an Emergency Appeal on Jia Cobb's Guard deployment order BECAUSE of the shooting. They noticed their appeal on Tuesday.

For those who asked, three things:
1. This is most likely just asking the currently engaged states to, cumulatively, send 500 more troops. Under the current agreements, that could be done.
2. The ruling from Judge Cobb is stayed by her, so it's not in effect currently. So, more troops could come.

Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

Reminds me of banks and other ostensibly private financial institutions some declared "too big to fail" a while back because of the harm their failure would do to the overall economy. Seems an unstable position as far an incentives. Maybe more public, government involvement, oversight advisable?
