Sgt La David Johnson: soldier at the center of dispute over Trump remarks The 25-year-old South Florida native who was killed in Niger has been put in the spotlight after Trump reportedly made insensitive comments to his widow

Trump was raised in a family that disparaged military service. He thinks people “dumb” enough to serve have what’s coming to them. Remember what he told the widow of the soldier who was killed in Niger: “he knew what he signed up for”

We are training undergrads (18-22) to digitize vcr tapes, cassettes, and vinyl. We introduce phrases like "rewind" into their vocab and made diagrams of what a tape looks like from 6 angles. And we get questions like "how do I rewind a record" which is understandable but turns my bones to dust.

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

complete insanity

I love a good police procedural, it provides a momentary daydream that there’s someone with power who actually does the right thing sometimes

U.S. Races to Accomplish Iran Mission Before Munitions Run Out President Trump says the Iran campaign might last a week or longer, but dwindling stockpiles could limit his options.

$1 trillion budget per year and the cupboard’s almost bare?

There is a long tradition of this in the highly diverse Pittsburgh. (My wife danced in the Pittsburgh International Folk Theater dance group)

It's a wonderful way to keep connections to traditions and cultures. Add in food in an International Festival and you have a truly winning combination.

Springtime is for running through fields. Wilder says I need to run faster.

A Startlingly Vivid Portrait of El Paso, and of America

An extraordinary review today.

It recognizes what fronterizos have long known: El Paso isn’t peripheral to the American story. It is the story — of migration, identity, memory, survival.

USWNT midfielder Sam Coffey says team has ‘responsibility’ to speak out about social issues Coffey said while it was easier as a younger player to look to older players, it's time for current players to advocate for change.

Being visible on social justice issues is "something I've been personally wrestling with a lot lately," Coffey said ahead of the SheBelieves Cup.

The most charitable interpretation of Platner still leaves us with someone plainly unfit for any elected office, much less the Senate. I don't think it's hyperbolic to say there are risks in putting into high office a person who keeps saying "whoops, another neo-Nazi association, I'm such a dummy."
