I remember flying transatlantic during the smoking era. There were two sections: smoking and nonsmoking. I was seated in nonsmoking, but it was the first row behind smoking! No barriers. I had a severe headache when we landed.

It was the most expensive “documentary” to be produced.

One day will do nothing. Billionaires won’t lose enough money to notice. People will either buy early or wait a day. In order for a general strike to be effective, it has to last several days.

The estate doesn’t have all of the files; DOJ has millions of them. Would it be in the interest of the estate to hand over everything they still have?

Of course, but they aren’t competent enough to keep the lies believable.

Modern communication allows service members to talk/text with family members. I don’t think the govt could hide that many casualties long. Even if a blackout is ordered, families will start asking questions if they don’t hear from them after a few days.

I’m late to this, but want you to see this letter somebody posted. Not only typically anti-female, but is an indicator that Landstuhl is preparing for many casualties.

We’ll be soft targets for sure. On the other hand, we’re against this regime, too.

They aren’t saying it. Probably cutting back on other services. Watch for pediatric cuts or cancelling elective surgeries.

Hegseth is a veteran, but spent most of his ten years of service in the National Guard. He did serve in Iraq & Afghanistan. He resigned his commission as a major, which is a rank not nearly high enough to prepare him for his current position. Unqualified by experience, temperament, and judgment.

The ultimate hypocrisy is that children were dying in the Trump War at the same moment she was talking about the impact of conflict on children.

That has to have an effect, but employees of DOJ and Homeland Security need to be reminded that POTUS cannot pardon criminal contempt.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

They're going to have nukes in a week.
They interfered in the 2020 and 2024 Elections.
They have ballistic missiles.
Their leaders were killing their citizens.
They've been at war with us for 47 years.
Yeah, keep talking...

I’m seeing lots of hard news, but it is almost all about the Trump War.

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.
