Following yesterday's spectacular success in his "grooming and violence" seminar, Secretary of Warcraft Hegseth plans a followup lecture to the brass. Part 1 will address communications security during military operations. Part 2 will be an extra manly demonstration of ax-throwing. tiny.cc/51bt001

Trans Portation is unconstitutional DEI because there are only two genders in the Constitution
Though to be serious for a moment it really was kind of genius of Hegseth to summon a thousand admirals and generals to come to Quantico so that he could lecture them in person on grooming standards and blame them for losing wars
A nice review from ALH! And what a surprise to hear good news about something these days.

Remember, according to the Supreme Court it's not bribery unless the money comes in an envelope marked "bribe," and for Ilya Shapiro it's not government suppression of speech unless there are actual government fingerprints on the suppression-of-speech memorandum
I am so old that I remember @jesseltaylor.bsky.social and Ezra from the early blogosphere days of Pandagon and let's just say that one of these guys turned out all right
This really is the final expression of "libertarianism" as it is practiced in the US today.

This might be a good time to reflect on the fact that one reason the MAGA right hates liberals and progressives-- I mean, really really hates, with the blazing fire of a thousand AR-15s-- is that we think American gun culture is profoundly warped and very very dangerous. Dangerous to everyone.
You are going to learn that the lessons of this particular time for the country will depend on Americans themselves and what kind of a nation they want it to be. That is an insight you can get nowhere else and you should be grateful for its incisive insightfulness.
Followup: Brian Kilmeade acknowledges possible "unsanitary" consequences to mass killings of mentally unstable homeless people, proposes that they prepare mass graves for themselves before their elimination.

Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them.

Perhaps these "hospitals" will in fact be detention centers. Detention centers are really hot right now.

New deluxe streaming service TrumpTV will televise Everglades Immigrant Internment Camp inmates being eaten by alligators beginning August 1. $49/month, bitcoin preferred.
I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.
I keep returning to the fact that these are the atrocities MAGA world absolutely *loves*
