Trump: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?' | Press Watch Why is this quote not all over the national media? Because it raises questions about his mental competence.

We know what he was watching:

While I disagree that people are outright celebrating Kirk’s death in these professions, it should be unsurprising that people targeted by MAGA hate might react differently than the source of some of that hate. His conclusion is sound though: we do have a serious problem.

Hello from Gunbarrel Hill, and the Boulder County Fire Central repeater. And the WIØA repeater. And a great bike ride from Erie.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.

So let’s see, we are going to borrow $2.4T at poor interest rates, and give away $3.7T in tax cuts, primarily to the most wealthy Americans, while we are charging everyone more because of Tariffs at a point where we are trying to recover from inflation so the Fed can lower rates.

Ham friends: in the event I receive one of these fine power amps for my IC-705, where in the Boulder Colorado region might this best be put to use? I’ve got an EFHW antenna rated for 50watts I can set up in a tree. My first thought is the triple junction near deer Mountain and Trail Ridge Road.

Yes, he says he will look at the data. But it’s clear he has already arrived at bad conclusions based on common knowledge.

Having bike commuted year-round in Wisconsin seen at least one other person else do the same every day, Duffy is clueless about bicycle infrastructure

Trump, Bukele Condemn Abrego Garcia to Prison On Live TV talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-b...

So let me clarify the tautology at play here:

Trump says Garcia is MS-13 member, deports with no trial, then SCOTUS finds Garcia be returned, Trump asks Bukele, Bukele says how could he return terrorist?

I’ve modified the GigaParts modular backpack, adding a more robust tactical belt as a hip strap. It’s very comfortable, and adds some hip pouches for quick-access items. I’ve also added some molle accessories including a handheld transceiver holder, water bottle holder, and a mount for my CW paddle.

On the bright side, the lengths the administration went to prove they don’t believe they can ignore the courts.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Russia has to pay a price to get peace, or the whole thing will start up again. That price should be admitting Ukraine to NATO.

If Russia won’t accept peace under those terms, they can’t be trusted to hold up their end of the deal.

What right does the US have to minerals in Ukraine? The US is attempting to sell its diplomacy services for those minerals. Who wins if that deal goes through?

Russia - a resource depleted Ukraine is easier to conquer next time. And then Russia gets the minerals.

Who has the cards here?

Putin.

Sad day for NOAA, and the Country: 800+ DOGE’d.

Here in Colorado, Amateur Radio Operators have helped NOAA monitor severe weather conditions as part of its weather spotter program.

Last week the spotter classes were cancelled. This week firings.

Better up your weatherproofing game people.
