Exactly 80 years ago this precise moment (8:40am Hamburg time, Nov. 30, 1945), German submarine commander Heinz-Wilhelm Eck and two of his former subordinates on the U-852 were shot by Allies in Hamburg for killing the survivors of a ship they had sunk. Pete Hagueseth needs to lawyer up immediately.
The Peleus War Crimes Trial
After sinking the Greek steamer Peleus in 1944, the captain ordered his crew to attack the survivors, three sailors survived and faced their attackers in a war crime trial.

"WhatAbout'ism" with adults is annoying.
Rather than patching a gaping wound, they'd stand over victims lecturing about flu shots.
Let's concentrate on the task at hand.

Don't confuse wealth creation with greed and materialism.
It's idealistic + useless to pretend the World economy can revert to some form of socialist barter system.
Capitalism has proven to be the fastest way out of poverty.
Black Communities should embrace and master it, not demonize and resist.

Those who he targets — veterans, intelligence community, federal workers — must stand up and fight.

More proof unqualified personnel are being unleashed on American streets.
Also more confirmation that the only way to reestablish any semblance of trust on either side of the border, requires total abolishment of current agency to start completely over.
Use retired Agents/Officers to fill gap.

After years of struggling to find enough workers for some of the nation’s toughest lockups, the Federal Bureau of Prisons is facing a new challenge: Corrections officers are jumping ship for more lucrative jobs at ICE.

As Federal Prisons Run Low on Food and Toilet Paper, Corrections Officers Leave in Droves for ICE
Many of the problems the agency is facing now are not new, but staff and prisoners fear an exodus of officers could make life behind bars even worse.

When Mark Carney sets specific goals for Canada to "diversify away" from its reliance on the US—making headlines in Canada but not the US—hear that for what it is: Close partners and allies looking elsewhere for better friends.
This is the silent way that the US loses its pointless trade war.

My daughter use to tell me I can't help but to look for threats everywhere.
As an adult she realizes that we don't have to "look" for threats, because most are obvious and all around us.
What we need to "look" for are managements or escapes.
Now, she blames me for her paranoia/awareness, Lol

I rank him high on my list of 3 (E. Warren and Pritzker) so far, I could give my vote for President.
Why is @kristenwelker.bsky.social trying to drive a wedge between him and Harris this early? It's not relevant to any current issue, but he handled it well.

It took Kristi Noem less than 30 seconds to blatantly lie about vetting of Afghans, while on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."
She promptly blamed Biden, even though Trump's Admin ultimately granted asylum to shooter.
BTW, No one who served with Afghan Advisors would support a blanket ban.

Honduras has always been special to me. I was there as a young Marine.
I saw organized, bold actions of a few with guidance, disrupt government in neighboring Countries.
Based on the ongoing consequences, the U.S. should stay out of ALL Central American politics, unless human rights atrocities.

I'm Thankful for my journey. Grateful for the lessons it taught.
When I look back, I can recognize those who looked out for me as best they could. Sometimes, just a hug.
I didn't always see them in the moment, but I was never left on my own.
My greatest blessing will be to be a blessing to them.
