I served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Force Education and Training for three years before the office was disestablished last year. I owned the policy on professional military education for all five services. I have listened to Secretary Hegseth's announcement. I have thoughts. 🧵

Entering War’s Third Week, Trump Faces Stark Choices

It's Netanyahu's war, and Trump is resigned to that fact. After Netanyahu attacked a major Iranian oil depot despite US objections, Trump "became convinced that the Israeli leader wanted dramatic scenes of Tehran covered in the black smoke of destruction." Trump decided he could do nothing.

Kurt Vonnegut predicted this over 30 yesrs ago. He worried about the end of "becoming".

The example he gave was Autocad. You no longer needed to spend yesrs "becoming" an architect. You could just punch some figures into a program and ask for craftsman or neoclassical.

I feel like the sportcoat is underappreciated. It's superior to a suit. Appropriate but approachable.

Ted DiBiase Jr. Delivered One List in Exchange for $3.2 Million in Welfare, Witnesses Testify Former nonprofit operator Christi Webb testified she was ordered to pay millions of dollars in welfare funds to Ted DiBiase Jr.

When Christi Webb tried to cut off the flow of millions in welfare funds to ex-pro wrestler Teddy DiBiase, Mississippi welfare chief John Davis called her crying, she testified.

“‘The only way I can have friends is to give them money. He’s got to keep getting this money,’" she recalled him saying.

Kid #2 is about 7 years into braces and extractions but it's turning out well. He'll have a good grill.

A good ortho is 1/3 doctor, 1/3 artist & 1/3 CPA.

Scott Jennings Accuses Democrat of ‘Cheering Against American Success’ in Tense CNN Throwdown CNN's Scott Jennings accused former Democratic congressman Joe Cunningham of cheering against American success in Iran during a tense throwdown

The same exact playbook that conservative cable news pundits and talk radio hosts used back in 2003.

No immediate court ruling today from judge about future of Kennedy Center

But a potential high-stakes board meeting about Trump's plan to close arts center for two years is scheduled for Monday.

It's not public... and I'm told some board members can attend virtually (via zoom)
