Not at all!

At the White House on Monday, Karoline Leavitt, the press secretary, read a statement that said Mr. Hegseth had authorized the Special Operations commander overseeing the attack, Adm. Frank M. Bradley, “to conduct these kinetic strikes.” She said that Admiral Bradley had “worked well within his authority and the law directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United States of America was eliminated.” According to five U.S. officials, who spoke separately and on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter that is under investigation, Mr. Hegseth, ahead of the Sept. 2 attack, ordered a strike that would kill the people on the boat and destroy the vessel and its purported cargo of drugs. But, each official said, Mr. Hegseth’s directive did not specifically address what should happen if a first missile turned out not to fully accomplish all of those things. And, the officials said, his order was not a response to surveillance footage showing that at least two people on the boat survived the first blast. Admiral Bradley ordered the initial missile strike and then several follow-up strikes that killed the initial survivors and sank the disabled boat. As that operation unfolded, they said, Mr. Hegseth did not give any further orders to him.

Her scripted remarks at a news briefing elicited a furious backlash within the Defense Department, where officials described feeling angry at the uncertainty over whether Hegseth would take responsibility for his alleged role in the operation — or leave the military and civilian staff under him to face the consequences. “This is ‘protect Pete’ bulls---,” one military official, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal conversations, told The Post. Leavitt’s statement “left it up to interpretation” who was responsible for the second strike that killed the two survivors, a separate military official said, imploring the White House to provide clarity on the issue. One official said of Leavitt’s statement, “It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.” Another person said some of Hegseth’s top civilian staff appeared deeply alarmed about the revelations and were contemplating whether to leave the administration.

NYT:
Five officials told us that Hegseth had nothing to do with the second strike

Washpost (which broke the story 2 days ago):
“This is ‘protect Pete’ bullshit,”
and
“It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.”

I have less than zero control over any of that. Sorry - you’d have to ask the guys of the Network.

Amazon has had many opportunities to create dubbing projects filled with authentic storytelling, emotional connection, and believability. Instead they have chosen to create AI slop dubs of Banana Fish, Vinland Saga, and No Game No life. Many are calling these dubs "insulting" and "disrespectful".

Less than 24 hours until Toonami.

Enjoy the Thanksgiving leftovers now cause in less than 24 hours, #Toonami starts up again!

Everybody else has covered it. Chemicals in fabrics (or even compressed wood in the shelves) could contribute. It’s always stuffy in a booth with no ventilation, but shouldn’t affect breathing unless it gets too hot. Could be claustrophobia too.

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words:

“Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.”

That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

If this is true, every halfway decent foreign intelligence service on the planet already has the receipts ….

Nothing like a dose of #Toonami to really feel the weekend vibes. Can't wait for tonight! 😎

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States:

- Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party
- Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children
- Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats

Those are just factual statements.

A tweet from “Catturd @catturd2” says: “😂😂😂 we warned you.” Below is a tweet from “Polymarket @Polymarket” reading: “BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani to require all New York elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals.” (Timestamp: November 19, 2025.) (Note: Arabic numerals refers to the standard digits 0–9.)

This was an IQ test.

I just wonder how much “sanitizing” his personal for profit DOJ has done to the files in the last 11 months…

The grift that keeps on grifting…

I've been doing alot of cold reads. cold reads have actually become my fave. Before I started learning from @blumspew.bsky.social the idea of cold reads scared the crap outta me but now Bring it on!!! I welcome them. Thank you steve for helping me gain the confidence I needed.

The only person whose standard of living has improved during this Trump term is Ghislaine Maxwell.

You know who has Universal Healthcare provided by the government? Folks in Argentina do and the US taxpayers sent them $40 Billion Dollars so they can keep it. How are your premiums doing?

And it got her an unprecedented transfer as a sex offender to a minimum security Club Fed where she has laptop access, individual meals delivered, a puppy, and yoga class. For a habitual liar and child trafficker to get a deal like that from DOJ is pretty sweet.

When he kept gushing over the Big Beautiful Bill, I honestly thought it was about the budget.

And she has a 14 year old daughter. Gross.

So even Nazis have standards? Who’d-a-thunk?
