Amateur idiot interested in space. Hoping to make more people aware of the crews and achievements of the Paraglider Research Vehicle, The Gemini Tow Test Vehicle and the Northrop HL10 Lifting Body. Other items do appear.
Wag the dog.
Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Isn’t this something that should be investigated? What are the details related to this pardon? Who requested that a pardon be considered on behalf of Juan Hernandez. What documents, emails exist? Was anything of value offered? Who was involved in the process?

The current US administration has no interest in the law, their own or anyone elses. So called "patriots" are all "yeeehaa" and "God bless America" until the kids they're sending out to fight start coming home in sealed caskets with the stars and stripes draped over them. There's no accountability.
🧵A legal scholar finds the killing by special forces of survivors in the Navy attack on an alleged drug boat to be a war crime and murder.

"the currently governing DOD Manual in Section 5.9 states clearly that persons “placed hors de combat may not be made the object of attack.” ...
A Dishonorable Strike
Indulging all assumptions in favor of the administration’s boat strikes, killing helpless men is murder

explain to me how a drunk dude thought he could go after a Navy captain AND astronaut — like bro, you can’t even navigate a sidewalk and you’re coming for someone who literally navigated space and dodge missiles
