That's a definite "Jerry? Yes"

This, the coin, his name being engraved in the US Institute of Peace, these are all first attempts at establishing a more robust and open personalist rule than we have ever seen in this country.

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.

WOW! AN HONOR! — GCN

They are such petty people.

If only there was some other way to oxygenate your blood...

Except there's actual research behind the (beneficial) use of leeches.

(edited to be clear I'm agreeing - and pointing out there's likely more good in leeches then this machine...)

Trump admin removes MLK Day, Juneteenth from National Parks fee-free days In place of these days, the Trump administration has opted to celebrate more former presidents' birthdays and Trump's birthday.

Trump has removed MLK Day and Juneteenth as national holidays for visitors to get free admission to national parks and replaced them with his own birthday.

Prison rape is wrong.

Jokes about prison rape are wrong.

Eliminating protections against prison rape is wrong.

If another country sentenced a criminal to be raped, we'd consider it a crime against humanity.

BUT

A large segment of Americans regard prison rape as a de facto part of the sentence.

This level of going after the administration is actually pretty stunning from a same party chair.

Costco demands a refund from Trump The mega-retailer is suing to get its tariff money back.

"As with so much of what has gone wrong in the past 10 months (or years), this chaos can be laid squarely at feet of SCOTUS. Here, they’ve allowed him to continue collecting hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs despite multiple lower courts ruling it's patently illegal." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Claude the alligator’s cause of death revealed: ‘There was nothing we could have done’ As Bay Area residents mourned the death of Claude the albino alligator this week, the California Academy of Sciences received the results of a necropsy.

Claude the albino alligator, the unofficial but very real mascot of the California Academy of Sciences, has died at 30, apparently of liver cancer. I’m kind of broken up about it.

In all seriousness, may his memory be a blessing.

Raccoon goes on drunken rampage in Virginia liquor store and passes out on bathroom floor A raccoon broke into a closed Virginia liquor store and drank alcohol from the bottom shelves over the weekend.

The masked burglar broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday and hit the bottom shelf. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace: bottles were smashed and alcohol pooled on the floor.

The suspect acted like an animal because, in fact, he's a raccoon.

Lawmakers warn Hegseth may have committed war crimes following second-strike report Democrats and even some Republicans said Hegseth’s orders may have been illegal if a report on his commands to kill survivors of a boat attack are true.

That may is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

5/ Administration explanation to Congress seems to be a bold-face falsehood: claiming double-tap strike was to clear debris, not to kill survivors.

"That explanation has prompted frustration among some members of Congress who say they believe the Pentagon was deceptive."

Who’s gonna tell ‘em

As usual, the fake news is delivering more fabricated, inflammatory, and derogatory reporting to discredit our incredible warriors fighting to protect the homeland. As we’ve said from the beginning, and in every statement, these highly effective strikes are specifically intended to be “lethal, kinetic strikes.” The declared intent is to stop lethal drugs, destroy narco-boats, and kill the narco-terrorists who are poisoning the American people. Every trafficker we kill is affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization. The Biden administration preferred the kid gloves approach, allowing millions of people — including dangerous cartels and unvetted Afghans — to flood our communities with drugs and violence. The Trump administration has sealed the border and gone on offense against narco-terrorists. Biden coddled terrorists, we kill them. Our current operations in the Caribbean are lawful under both U.S. and international law, with all actions in compliance with the law of armed conflict—and approved by the best military and civilian lawyers, up and down the chain of command. Our warriors in SOUTHCOM put their lives on the line every day to protect the Homeland from narco-terrorists — and I will ALWAYS have their back.

a lot of words, none of them denying that Hegseth gave an order to kill helpless people who were stranded at sea after he blew up their boats

Among other things, the (nebulous but clearly unconstitutional) attack on naturalized US citizens contained in this screed is a significant escalation.

Again, every elected Democrat needs to put out a video stating exactly what Kelly and the others said. If ever there were a line to draw in the sand, it’s here. The military is not the president’s Praetorian Guard.

His Brother Admitted To A Murder. He Is Sentenced To Die For It. Tremane Wood’s lawyer struggled with addiction throughout his high-stakes murder trial. Is that why Tremane received a death sentence and his brother did not?

Here’s the story Schulberg wrote a year ago about the man’s incompetent lawyer.

As his brother said:

“I’m looking at my mom, going, ‘This is the fucking lawyer? This asshole has no clue what he’s doing.’ I’ve seen fucked-up people. This lawyer was fucked-up.”
