I think often about how we fought in Afghanistan for 20 years and most Americans don’t have the foggiest idea that a defining part of the challenge for those who served was a culture that enables the widespread systemic rape of young boys.
My infantry Bn had a really hard time parsing the gender and sexuality issues of Southern Helmand.
When people say, "you wouldn't want a 'purple haired gender studies major' in the Marines" I reply "YES we desperately needed them!" We had teams of anthropologists who published studies for us.

A depraved and decadent Trump WH dinner for MBS was a stunning low for an American ruling class that's stopped pretending to carry a moral compass
It was really a celebration of death - of democracy, of an overheating planet, and ultimately themselves. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ceos...

Every time I listen to Trump, Bessent or Lutnick talk about economic conditions, it is always completely obvious how utterly disconnected they are from the everyday struggles the average American working family is dealing with right now. They simply can’t relate to normal people.

Trump’s special envoy Witkoff put his hand over his heart when Putin walked in the room. Like he’s reunited with a loved one. That really tells you all you need to know.

Since I expanded California Highway Patrol deployments in late August, officers have:
☑️ Seized 1 ton of illegal drugs
☑️ Made 1,234 arrests
☑️ Recovered 216 stolen vehicles
☑️ Removed 54 illegal firearms
Public safety is improving and California is moving forward.

Once again, Congress must take a stand against Trump, rebuke his support for Putin, and recommit to standing with Ukraine.

To sum up the “peace plan”:

- Russia evades accountability for war crimes
- Europe stuck with bill for Ukraine reconstruction
- Ukraine kept a half-state that never becomes the Ukraine that is a significant power in Europe, for Europe.

The “peace plan” for Ukraine is just a framework for Russia & the US to take assets away from Ukrainian recovery, and to ensure Russia evades accountability for war crimes
