@radiofreetom.bsky.social on the late-breaking news (to Trump) that Greenland is important to US & free-world security. If he uses force to annex it, Trump could "blow up" NATO & "set in motion a series of events that could lead to global catastropheโ€”or even to World War III." Have a happy evening.

A reminder of General Mark Miley words on #VeteransDay

Great, but King Charles should rescind the gold-embossed invitation to Trump. What would his mother think? She spent her entire life trying to erase the memory of her uncle Edward VIIIโ€™s selfishness, including his appeasement of Hitler. #kingcharles

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Hereโ€™s the pitch:

They hire back the accidentally-fired bird flu folks *and* the accidentally-fired nuclear security guys BUT they put them in each otherโ€™s jobs โ€” also by accident!

Itโ€™s TRADING PLACES meets FAILSAFE meets CONTAGION โ€” and maybe also FREAKY FRIDAY!

The natural comparison here is Benghazi

But-as a foreign policy misstep-this is MUCH worse

Because whereas the mission in Benghazi was attacked

The Kinshasa looting was a self-inflicted wound which happened only because of Trump and Elon's arrogance

The convict stoking mass lawlessness and mob rule.

A call to arms for Americans to take the law into their own hands in the name of all things MAGA.

Considering his pardons for insurrectionists and labelling political opponents, immigrants and press as MAGA enemies, this is phenomenally dangerous.

MeidasTouch Network on Substack Donald Trumpโ€™s press conference today was one of the most disgraceful moments in U.S. history, signaling a complete surrender to Vladimir Putin.

In a sea of appalling dangerous actions, this capitulation stands out like a neon-green double-knit suit at a funeral.

You know how Brussels Sprouts taste a lot better than they did in the 80s, and sales more than doubled in the US as a result, putting Vitamins A, B6, C and K in our diets? That was the work of an innovation lab. They were able to reduce the bitterness to make the nutrients easier to consume.
Hey ho.
