Today I went to the grocery store, planning to buy some hamburger. What I saw were obscene prices for beef, and Publix has the nerve to call it a "Surprisingly Low Price"

Talk about sticker shock!! I didn't buy any, nor will I at these prices.

Trump and Hegseth deselected many top military leaders who were not willing to follow their criminal ethos.

Some stepped back honourably.

Now we see the result.

Leaders have dishonoured and criminalised themselves and have dishonoured and criminalised their subordinates.

A day of infamy.

This is FALSE. Since when are drug runners a "legitimate military target"? They aren't. Killing survivors of a sinking is even more illegal. We executed Germans and Japanese who did that in WWII.
