In sixth grade I used the word "stolid" in a paper and my teacher marked it as a spelling error, then accused me of cheating when I tried to argue, so I like to put it into each of my books as a cute little fuck you to that lady.

Two things:

1) How can people floating in open water continue a drug run? Swim a thousand miles towing a crate?

2) More importantly, drugs are not weapons, and a drug run is not a national security threat, especially not an immediate one to the world's most powerful navy.
A top admiral is expected to tell lawmakers tomorrow that he and his legal adviser concluded that the two survivors of a boat strike in September were attempting to continue their drug run, making them and the damaged vessel legitimate targets for another attack.

Honestly, though, and I probably say this every year, but I hope my many Hallmark-loving friends have taken a look at Christmas in Connecticut (1945) and Holiday Affair (1949). They’re the prototypes and their delights await you with open arms.

Here is another great article from The Atlantic, on the Pentagon Inspector General's report about Hegseth and the classified info he shared on Signal - describing the US attack on the Houthis.

This is a 'gift' so you can read great journalism:

I'm curious to know how much money Donald has made from pardoning his fellow criminals.

So far, in less than one year, Donald Trump has issued over TEN TIMES as many pardons as he did in his entire four-year first term. That’s a lot of criminals released onto our streets.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

I don’t blame her for wanting a friendly 1st interview esp w/Lizza’s rather ugly reveals. But if she ever wants to be taken seriously again, she needs to answer why she didn’t speak up during confirmtn hearings? Was she threatened? She implies this but as a reporter she knows about sunlight & all.

When I was a teenager, back in days of the Solid South, white Southern politicians would routinely use the term "Nigra." They acted as if it was just a regional pronunciation of "Negro," then acceptable. But it signaled what they really wanted to say.

Trump remembers those days. He's headed there.
An entire room full of powerful old white people smiling and laughing as the president dehumanizes black immigrants and the first black president.

Just fucking pathetic.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

It isn't a war. If it were, the strikes are still war crimes.

The drugs weren't headed to the U.S.

The people killed were likely poor, low-level smugglers, not drug lords.

Most overdose deaths are from fentanyl. Fentanyl doesn't come from South America.

Everything else Marshall says is correct!
Sen. Roger Marshall defends Hegseth: "Look, we're losing 200 Americans every day to drug poisoning from these drug lords. This is a war. And it's ugly. War is never pretty ... that strike probably saved thousands of American lives."

Congressman Henry Cuellar was indicted for money laundering, bribery, and conspiracy, allegedly taking about $600,000, mostly from Azerbaijan, to influence U.S. policy.

President Donald Trump pardoned Cuellar, because Trump supports money laundering, bribery, and conspiracy.
