US Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom was killed in uniform, and didn’t get a half-staff order. Charlie Kirk killed and got one within hours. He also got a military honor guard to bring his casket to Air Force 2 and a Blue Angels flyover.

The fact that 12% of federal judges are Black shows the corruption of DEI. The fact that 67% of Supreme Court Justices belong to a small legal cult called the Federalist Society shows the power of meritocracy.

The last university I worked at had daycare and childcare. University faculty and staff got a significantly decreased rate. It was very common to see colleagues and coworkers walking to/from work with their kids. Wild that this isn’t normal.
Hear me out: child daycare at workplaces. Small business can coordinate with other neighbouring small business. Take your babies to work. If there's a problem, your right there. Fund it publicly. Like school.
After school programs- kids are brought to workplace daycares.
It's an equity thing.

Never in my lifetime have I witnessed a politician so indignant, righteous, and combative about throwing the activists and door-knockers who got him elected under the bus. He's spent his term wooing his opponent's voting bloc while telling his own voters to kick rocks. No endgame here.
Brandon Johnson repeated this on WBEZ this week saying incredulously “there are people who want me to cut the police budget.”

I’d really love for him to reveal exactly who is asking that of him.

Because I can tell you this: a lot of people who want him to do that held their nose to vote for him.
Johnson vows to veto any budget that includes a property tax increase or makes cuts to the proposed $2.1 billion for the Chicago Police Department.

CONTEXT: No one has seriously proposed either.

Days until the Dec. 30 deadline for the City Council to pass a budget: 43

"No ceiling" results in what we have: a couple dozen psychopaths control several trillion dollars and the power has made them go stark raving mad. They are obsessed with using their concentrated wealth to punish the population and remake the country into a failed state and international pariah.
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?

KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

It remains not only so shameful and such a profound betrayal but also just so EMBARRASSING that universities are signing things that are like:

BREAKING: The majority of executives and upper management are totally talentless hacks.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

In the last week, Donald Trump has called for the murder of Congressional Democrats and threatened to unilaterally declare an invasion of Venezuela.

If Congressional Republicans followed the Constitution, both of these would be removable offenses. But, they’re loyal to Trump, not the constitution.
