Scouting should cut ties with Hegseth if doesn’t implement some personal core value reform
Scouting is a huge value add to DoD. It’s a messaging aligned partner that is a free contact point to hundreds of thousands of young people inclined to service.

Breaking news: The Pentagon issued a warning to Scouting America, formerly known as the Boy Scouts, saying the organization risks losing its long-standing partnership with the U.S. military unless it rapidly implements “core value reforms.”
Pentagon warns Scouts to restore ‘core values’ or lose military support
The relationship dates back decades, but Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has criticized the organization for allowing girls to join and changing its name from Boy Scouts.

Karl Marlantes is one of the great writers of our time ('Matterhorn' et al). I'm glad to say that he has been a friend for decades
For him—USMC combat vet of Vietnam, author of unforgettable novel about combat—to write this, for NR, about Noem/Bovino/ICE/CBP cosplaying, is significant. Pls read

Getting officers out of combat gear will help cooler heads prevail.

I often think of a different LBJ call.
"And another thing - the crotch, down where your nuts hang - is always a little too tight, so when you make them up, give me an inch that I can let out there, uh because they cut me, it's just like riding a wire fence."

Whatever he is though, he is for the love of the game. Not an opportunist. Violent extremist. But a genuine one.

Firing up “Becoming” the Michelle Obama doc on Netflix. It’s trending in the top 10 this weekend. Only number 8 though.
8 is good, but people, if we want to protect the reputation for pettiness, it’s moments like this that are make or break. Don’t just dream of great pettiness. Live it.

I did not give this matter my attention.
In spite of getting pre-thanked by the president, who was good enough to put his trust in me that I would give it attention. He counted on me and I failed.
It’s eating me up. I hope it turned out ok for Leigh despite my failure.
Anyone know how it went?

Let the great writ lie
BREAKING: Federal judge orders Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R., released.
"The Great Writ and release from detention are GRANTED."
"Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster."
"The Great Writ and release from detention are GRANTED."
"Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster."
![Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to
their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more
orderly and humane policy than currently in place.
Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you
can keep it."
With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike,
It is so ORDERED.

"We're on our own" "no one is coming" is a common strain in this online discourse. But rather than absolutely rightful fury or cowering fear, this has awakened true, hyper-localized government of/by/for the people: feeding each other, protecting each other, demanding end to occupation by regime.
