Twitter refugee - you've seen me around. Husband, father, pro photographer. I’m a dedicated fisherman, and I let them all go - not sure what that means. Long Island, NY. The blue part. My banner photo is whatever TV series I think you should be enjoying.

Just to be clear, this is EXACTLY what Pete Hegseth said, word for word, on video in a formal announcement:

“We’re signing a letter of acceptance to BUILD A QATARI AIR FORCE FACILITY at the Mountain Home Airbase.”

Typos aside, there is simply no such thing.

ECGs are not an indicator of age.

They literally do not contain that information, either directly or indirectly.

This is just made up gobbledygook.

So, my question is: why?

There must be some mistake, I read 50 Atlantic articles about how RFK Jr just wants to help Americans eat more vegetables

They continue to eviscerate the public health machinery that has quietly kept Americans, and others around the world, safe and healthy for decades.

The staff of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the journal that reports on health trends and emerging infectious threats, was also laid off. The publication’s storied history includes a June 1981 report that five previously healthy gay men were treated for an unusual pneumonia — the first hint of the AIDS epidemic.

Roughly 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers — the so-called “disease detectives” who respond to outbreaks around the globe — received layoff notices, according to a person familiar with them. The service was spared during an earlier round of layoffs in February.

Yes, America, he is referring to the 100% peaceful No Kings rallies that have literally nothing to do with Hamas or antifa or hating America.

America has been gaslit by these lunatics every day for a decade, and at some point the other shoe will drop—though I have no idea what or when that will be.

I guess they didn’t like Trump’s new 100% tariffs on China today, added on to the previous tariffs.

Went out in the kayak today looking for striped bass, but found false Albicore - aka “speedsters.” Rod snapped on the third hookup. Crazy.

I bet Kyle Rittenhouse has tried to join ICE. I don’t know if they take high school dropouts or not but Rittenhouse is exactly the kind of person ICE wants. He is uneducated, not very smart, easily manipulated and has proven he will kill with impunity. #ProudBlue

Trump didn’t just instruct his cronies to look into Letitia James to see what they could rustle up. Instead, he twisted the entire federal government into a shape designed to produce the criminal indictment he demanded. www.thebulwark.com/p/insidious-...

The Insidious Effort To Rationalize Trump’s Lawfare

This is not a president justified in going after those who went after him. It’s a person making a mockery of our justice system.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prize—instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

Hey America, almost HALF of your federal police force is being used to round up the "bad brown people."

These are taking a back seat....

"...tackling cybercrimes, drug trafficking, terrorism, espionage, violent crimes, counterintelligence and other efforts..."
