Needs a Navy letter. Which means “Fuck you, strong letter follows.”
Apparently the FU part was sent by flashing lights or semaphore from one senior Naval officer to the another.

60 Minutes remains crown jewel for CBS, but they fear the fallout of 60 Minutes’ coverage of Trump affecting its merger with Paramount.

We have already had two children die in Texas. The first child’s parents are Mennonite anti-vaxxers.
They said, basically, ‘Our other child got it too and he’s fine…’ like it was no big deal to lose a 6 year old girl.

A child with the measles apparently exposed hundreds at the Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine Tx over two days, and then at the nearby Grapevine Mills Mall the following day.
Measles incubation period is 10 to 14 days, during which the person is contagious.

And all of it because they were too lazy to follow the rules about accessing classified data. Which is what HRC was witch-hunted for.
So let’s start the hearings!

We will never shut up. Speaking truth to power has always been an American trait.

The heartlessness of his comment is peak Republican behavior. It was uncalled for cruelty.

I was working on Ohio Class projects at the time.
Scary when you consider that in 1962 the USS Ethan Allen fired an SLBM with a live thermonuclear warhead in the Frigate Bird test.

Fewer container bins have been recalled than CyberTrucks.
Stupendously ugly, cheaply made using glue as bonding, which is the subject of the latest recall.
Still have unsold Tesla’s taking up space at the local mall parking lot.

That is beneath contempt but exactly what I expected from Marko.

Yes! And it’s a state crime (Oklahoma) so no Presidential pardon.
I live close to his main church. They used to hire three sets of off-duty police to handle traffic on a Sunday.
Now it’s 1 cop.

They also had former SEAL Robert O’Neill as the initial spokesman. A man who had a documented alcohol problem (DUI and D&D, the last where he called a bouncer a n****r). When I pointed this out to them on X they immediately blocked me.
Glad to see it failed.

He writes fiction and he has stated that if he needs to lie to make a point, to make a better story, or reinforce a point, he will do so.

Beautiful. It will be even more so without Russians.

That would imply a level of self-awareness that Trump does not possess. He will be shielded by the coterie of ‘yes’ men and women.
Perhaps if Fox turns on him. Or promotes the negative headlines in their daily “We love Trump” panel shows.
All he cares about is looking tough and ‘winning.’

Trump was never taught manners. He was brought up with the arrogance of the entitled.
His performance yesterday in front of the cameras was him being back on “The Apprentice,” except with more lying.
Vance proved again he’s a punk.
There was one leader in that room; he wasn’t wearing a suit.

Added it to my queue in Kindle. I am a sucker for good navel fiction!

Never happened with a KRZ, but when we got trailed by a Grisha frigate in the Persian Gulf during the hostage crisis, they would make a big deal of collecting our (CT detachment) shred.
We would sometimes load a coffee can with Snickers and Marlboros and some magazines and float that out to them.

Hamas are terrorists as well as bullies.
Add the word “domestic” before “terrorist” and we have Trump and his minions.

Yeah, one of the cult. I had his paperbacks and hardbacks. Gave some away to make new cult followers.
Would laugh out loud and then have to read the paragraph to my wife.

Trump could use some tanning advice from RFK Jr., who looks like he uses spray-tan sessions from the same gym that he gets his steroids from.
Trump uses bronzers, apparently applied blindfolded.
But his voice is a result of a neurological condition.

Love that poster. We have defeated them in battle and in the hearts & minds of the world.
And let’s not forget, after all was said and done, we hanged the surviving leaders.

Not to mention that Congress passed a law forbidding summary firing of Inspectors General in 2023. The Senate requires a 30 day notice.
So the 17 IGs should just split the cost of one attorney to tie this up.
The guy who sent the letters is a P/T DJ from Palm Beach. NMTU.

That’s great! Named after The Lonesome Dove character?
We were in St. Martin in July and near the north end of Orient Bay is a small herd/family of donkeys, 6 in all.
The beach bars make sure they have plenty of fresh water to drink.

We did miss you.
Ummm, what do you do? 🙂
