The only two things I am sure about in life:
1) Life is a team sport, so be a good team player so you can play on a good team.
2) Life is weird, and then it gets weirder.

Prepping year end & many cities are recording historic lows in murders in 2025. Through November, Detroit (fewest since 1964), Baltimore (1962), Philadelphia (1966), Oakland (1967), & San Francisco (likely since at least 1942). Additionally, New Orleans is on pace for the fewest murders since 1970.

I hope people take two minutes to listen to this shocking display of bigotry. It brings clarity to what we are fighting against. We should all be sick to hear such un-American drivel from the President of the United States.

The thing is that the war only has two directions. Either Russia wins or it disappears. Why am I so certain? Think about Russia losing, it's home front or armed forces starts to crack. What will happen to Russian society then? What glue of values or repression will keep it together then?
The only real solution of Europe's security challenge is the unconditional surrender and dissolution of the Russian Federation. Any other outcome will ensure continued conflict.

America does not have capital punishment for selling or smuggling drugs and none of these people were arrested or tried. There could have been mountains of cocaine in open view on the deck of the boats and it still would have been murder of unarmed civilians.
Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.
