Is it just me, or does Hegseth seem to derive sick, twisted pleasure from blowing people up? How often does he watch these videos? Who does he watch them with?

2) It turns out that even though my earned income was very low, the $$ pulled out of a pre-tax retirement account (paid taxes on it when I took out the $$) + the Roth $ (paid taxes on this years ago) make me look like a β€œhigh earner” - which I absolutely was not. So, I owe a ton.
So wrong!!

Rejected because of his criticism of Trump. So Lake County GOP is determined to remain far rightwing.

If you hear people complaining, remind them that Dems offered to split out ICE and CPB and fund everything else, including TSA. Republicans said no.

Why wait for Johnson?? He obviously won’t do anything. Fine is a disgrace.

This is an important piece. Epstein was a consummate social climber and courted academics as a way of building social clout. Brockman and β€œthe edge” illuminate just how that worked.

Great tips. The first one made me appreciate my early childhood training, where being at the child’s level was ingrained.
