What in god’s name is a Hegseth warrior that any sane, rational, and decent human being would ever want to be? The Geneva convention exists expressly to deter people like him. It isn’t an unfortunate error in judgment.

It’s a veritable revolution in math and medicine. It’s amazing what a president can do with the stroke of a pen and a facility with numbers when he puts his mind to it.

Why is it so important for kennedy and his group of medical misfits to place the blame for everything that happens on vaccination? I guess they feel the need to carve out an informational space for themselves to oppose a mainstream that just doesn’t get it.

If true, it’s outright murder, and no one in Congress or law enforcement will touch it. Is immunity to criminal liability the new American exceptionalism?

Weiss gets to draw the lines of acceptable debate based on her view of where the vast majority of Americans are? Who does she think she is? Has she learned anything about the status quo? Does she have any idea of how people like Trump, Carlson, and Fuentes gain traction?

If he can see fit to embracing Mamdani in the interests of clawing his way back into the public’s good graces, why let an ACA tax credit or two stand in the way? It’s three-dimensional checkers by and for the eminently insincere and out of touch.

I think that Mark Kelly has made the point that it doesn’t usually take much more than common sense to recognize what an illegal order is. I have no doubt that enlisted men have encountered illegal orders, but I would think that the bigger problem is up the chain of command.
