Hegseth made a big deal about returning the military to a specific time- 1990. It might seem random, or odd - it’s not. In 1991, the Tailhook scandal shed light to the extreme sexual assault that was commonplace in the military. Petey picked the prior year because him and his rapist buddies miss it.

Kamala Harris warned us that Trump would turn the military against civilians. She warned us that he would pursue Project 2025. The media mocked her, but she was dead right about both.

Nobody asked for it. We did it anyway.

If you ever used Winamp during the later years, it had an awesome, awesome visualizer called Milkdrop. The Webamp people implemented a workalike called Butterchurn.

Internet Archive now supports Webamp and Butterchurn. Just click on the llama!

Trump Lackey Fumed at Musk in Secret MAGA Civil War Clash Budget bigwig Russell Vought appears to have quietly railed against the perceived messiness of the DOGE chief’s slash-and-burn attacks on federal bureaucracy.

“We can do things during the shutdown that are irreversible, that are bad for them, and irreversible by them, like cutting vast numbers of people out, cutting things that they like, cutting programs that they like. And, you all know Russell Vought. He’s become very popular recently because he can trim the budget to a level that you couldn't do any other way. So they're taking a risk by having a shutdown. Because of the shutdown, we can do things medically and other ways, including benefits. We can cut large numbers of people. We don't want to do that, but we don't want fraud, waste and abuse.”

👀 Just Now -- President Trump in the Oval Office said a government shutdown gives his administration the power to cut benefit programs, which include Social Security and Medicare.

annual total applications for enlistment in the US military declined by more than 80% from 1980-2022, while the US population grew by 32%

The post reports that journalist Asal Rezaei was doing her job when an ICE agent shot directly at her car today, unprovoked, with chemicals entering through an open window, causing her to feel sick for two hours. It mentions no protester was in sight, and she was simply driving by to check the scene, about 50 feet from the entrance, an area local authorities and news organizations have been monitoring for weeks. The post also notes this incident follows the detention and release of journalist Steve Held the previous day.

Florida’s $67M gift to Trump library: Were taxpayers consulted? Of course not | Opinion Unfortunately, how this took place only reflects Trump’s own approach to governing. | Editorial

The state of Florida is giving Trump $67 million worth of land in Miami to build his presidential library.

"A week ago, the Miami-Dade College Board of Trustees, in a lightning-fast meeting with little public notice, voted to transfer the land from the college to the state."
