Fund managers worry about Trump’s mental state amid tariff debacle Some fund managers concerned ‘that the White House is not acting rationally, but rather on ideology. And some even fear that this may not even be ideology’

#tariffs At some point I hope these people look back and just say “yeah we were wrong.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Shakedown (1988) - Official Trailer
YouTube video by Shout! Studios Shakedown (1988) - Official Trailer

Listen. I love 80s and 90s action films as next as the other guy. Even the straight to video ones but I just watched Shakedown starting Peter Weller and Sam Elliot and it's the most ridiculous film that actually takes it self seriously #80smovies

Denmark's defense committee head said he regrets choosing the F-35: 'We must avoid American weapons if at all possible' Citing fears that the US may use weapons support as leverage against Denmark, Rasmus Jarlov said buying American weapons is now "a security risk."

The idea that #TuskeeAirmen had to prove not only that they were capable pilots in a nation that didn't want them to or believe they could fly. While leading to one for the best combat records never losing a bomber and being sought after for escorts shows a love of country and hope for the future.

The idea of serving a nation, and a people who have some that would just as well see you beat and bruised all for the hope of a better tomorrow is motivating. The idea that #BeaArthur served in the Marines even know she was considered second class as a woman is inspiring and hopeful.

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism.

I understand. I am also from small town Ohio, east of Cleveland in the land of many fish in the river and covered bridges.

That's some small town Ohio (or Midwest) behavior there. My father in law is a small town lawyer and that is literally what he does.

That's exactly what I said. They literally picked a decorated; but random soldier with the name Benning and couldn't even find a photo. That's wild... I've performed at hundreds of dedication and naming ceremonies including a bunch in Iraq and there were always pictures of those being honored.

The Army didn't have a photo of the 'new' Benning, so we found this one Cpl. Fred Benning was a World War I hero who became a baker, a successful businessman, and the mayor of Neligh, Nebraska.

#FortBenning
"According to a count kept by the 16th Infantry Regiment Association, Benning was one of 24 soldiers in the unit awarded the DSC for actions on October 9, and one of over 150 to earn the award during the unit’s seven months in combat in 1918." taskandpurpose.com/history/benn...

48 Scientific Societies Representing Almost 100,000 Scientists Ask Congress to Protect the Future of Science 48 scientific societies representing almost 100,000 scientists signed on to a letter asking Congress to protect the future of science

Today, a broad coalition of scientific professional societies who represent over 92,000 scientists are speaking out against the politicization and demonization of Federally funded science and government scientist jobs.

It was an honor to help the Union of Concerned Scientists with this! 🧪🌎

The Army deleted my “Why I served” video where I talked about how I decided I wanted to attend West Point/join the Army after one of the cadets my family used to sponsor died in combat. Probably deleted because she was the first black woman to be CSM at West Point.
