Accurate headline would be: "Trump Fires Joint Chiefs Chairman and Causes Turmoil at Pentagon; the decision to fire Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. is due to the fact that the general is Black and Trump is a white supremacist."

In a shocking display of incompetence, tRump fired General CQ Brown, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. This reckless decision is a blatant attack on military integrity, leaving a power vacuum that could jeopardize national security. www.axios.com/2025/02/22/t...

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Looks like Colombia actually got what it wanted: no use of U.S. military planes to transport migrants into Colombia. The press reported this as a total capitulation by Pres. Petro, but if you think about it, Petro returned things to the status quo ante. Trump is the one who backed down.

I do love to make pizza from scratch. Probably I have made pizza once a week for more than 40 years. This current version is sourdough crust.

Trump is literally purging the federal government of Black people and women. So the people who told us he wasn’t a racist or misogynist were full of shit.

Trump: "FEMA is gonna be a whole big discussion very shortly, because I'd rather see the states takes care of their own problems."

Knew too much, too patriotic, had to go.

Even if the Senate refuses to confirm Hegseth, Trump would only pick an equally poor replacement

The @contrariannews.bsky.social is a brilliant idea. Now why can’t @meidastouch.com @muellershewrote.bsky.social and a few dozen other independent social media get together and make ANOTHER competing liberal news network? Too many of us are working just for subs. Let’s make a real news powerhouse.

It’s like everyone forgot George W Bush is responsible for one of the most disastrous and ill conceived military interventions of all time, resulting in the needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and wasting trillions of dollars

Boy, it must be worse than I imagined. www.axios.com/2025/01/14/t...

I'm very glad to see this group form!

Time to unfollow @washingtonpost.com.

This seems very important

“China will pay for the tariffs” is the new “Mexico will pay for the wall.”

I just saw a survey where 6 out of 10 people indicated they do not plan to get the COVID-19 vaccination/booster. I read that as “Donald Trump’s ignorance is still killing people.”

Mick Mulvaney, former director of the OMB told clients Musk would find out that “going to Mars is easier" than changing the way the federal government did business, and that he doubted Musk would stick around to actually get it done.

On Wall Street, dental stocks are trading up today on the anticipation of more cavities

Just a reminder: The Attorney General is not supposed to be the President's lawyer; they're the people's lawyer.

My suspicion is that no nominee can be defeated in a vote. Nominations will have to be killed before any votes take place so that R senators can plausibly deny taking sides against Trump.
