Lots of news about Hegseth. I honestly don’t even remember who Biden‘s Secretary of Defense was. I sure miss the drama free days where we had competent people running things.
Is there a Polymarket poll whether Pete Hogsbreath was drunk or sober at the time he ordered Admiral "Mitch" to Drop the 2nd bomb and
"KILL THEM ALL"?
"KILL THEM ALL"?

Shame, all those years of SEALs & DEVGRU but Bradley couldn't spot an obvious trap set up by the world's least trustworthy people.
Of course the illegal order they gave Bradley which he followed has now become his "combat decision" for which he is responsible. It was always going to be that way.

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

I will be forever sad the Cornell did this too. Making an ethical decision based on money is never going to work out for a so-called institute of higher learning.
The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.
BREAKING: Northwestern University has agreed to pay the U.S. Treasury $75 million, over the course of three years as part of an agreement with the federal government to restore funding and end investigations into the university

I’m watching the Live 8 documentary on CNN about when Republican administrations actually gave a crap about disadvantaged people and helped them.

Of course, we’ll get skewered on social media, but what about the folks that were killed during ICE raids in California? All needless, all performative BS. All people who didn’t choose to put themselves in harm way.
One guy killed one National Guard member and the media is treating it like it’s 9/11 because they’re scared the President will accuse them of underreacting if they try to apply even the slightest bit of proportionality

Is this supposedly classified and that’s why you can’t tell us the topic of the call? And shouldn’t this info have come out earlier?
During my time on Trump's National Security Council, I reviewed a lot of calls between Trump and foreign leaders.
One of, of course, was the call with President Zelenskyy. Another was with Trump and Mohammed bin Salman.

Unique among inmates, Ghislaine Maxwell gets room service in her cell, after-hours access to recreation, a private visitor suite with refreshments and even a service-dog puppy to play with.
Is this a federal prison sentence or a comped stay at a Trump Hotel?
