U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield, who holds a senior position in NATO, has been fired as part of what appears to be an expanding national security purge of top officials by the Trump administration, three sources told Reuters. @phildstewart.bsky.social @idreesali114.bsky.social

Only a select few make a living from hand jobs.

In books the cops always stake out the funeral in case the serial killer shows up

In 1992 there was an "America First" party that bucked mainstream politics by calling for the reimposition of tariffs, eliminating income taxes, eliminating foreign aid, stopping immigration, restoring our balance of trade with other nations, returning education to the states, and banning abortion.
