Shocking, I know. But given how much I hear from white progressives about the supposed “Hannibal doctrine” being responsible for all Oct. 7 Israeli civilian deaths, I can see easily how Holocaust denial became widespread.

This is quite a hed/subhed.
1) Start with Vance. Use strong action verb. Accept the autocratic premise that the “Marines’ Might” are Vance’s to flex.
2) Mention the protest second and absurdly describe them as in the thousands
3) Treat Trump’s strong man use of the military as a partisan scuffle.

Vance Flexes the Marines’ Might as Thousand Protest Trump’s Agenda
VP JD Vance’s trips o a military base in California illustrated rising tensions between the federal government and Democratic leaders

As much as I hate to hand it to Ford, they were very design-forward in the early ‘50s. Which is why it’s surprising to me that their 1954 delivery van here still had pontoon fenders, possibly the last year for them.

Then came the tail fins, which somehow Lincoln resisted.

I’m sure Israel will be blamed for Hamas seeing fit to doom many more Palestinians to their deaths and to kill some directly.

It’s a non-binding resolution, which is about the only good thing that can be said about it, plus the 13 no votes and 36 abstentions. It also wasn’t a resolution to annex, but to support a statement calling Yehuda and Shomron integral and eternal parts of Israel.

Seriously, though - people keep asking "what are the protesters asking for, and what's their strategic plan to get it?"

I think what they're asking for is for America to be restored and Trump to subjected to the law. And I think the plan to get it is to demonstrate that there are so, so many of us.

Tom Watson's always been such a stand-up, decent guy. It's too bad so many other Americans lack those qualities these days. The last thing we should aspire to is the loutishness of European soccer hooligans or of our own domestic political leadership.

In World War II, the Japanese executed dozens of German civilians — clergymen and their families mostly — because, even though Nazi Germany was their ally, they believed Europeans might still aid other whites in the war against Japan. And the Japanese weren’t entirely wrong in their suspicions.

It’s rather unfortunate that “You are the wind beneath my wings” scans so perfectly with “You are the yeast between my legs”.
