Most definitely chemically enhanced.

How many Pentagon staff showed up at Major Pete’s service because they felt pressure from higher ups?

Anyhow, Major Pete’s message is pretty clear-

Women need not apply.

Was windy and rough at Sandy’s today.

from the rest of society just as operator culture dominates military social media spaces. They think they’re super-citizens and we have a SecDef who encourages that sort of thinking.

So of course civil influences are dangerous to them. Might actually have to be accountable.

Was thinking about Infantry Dork’s Sparta post in the context of Major Pete deciding which uni programs are too dangerous for service members to study.

They want elevated status for military members and since 1991, out of guilt over Vietnam, we’ve given it to them.

Now they want to be separate

Sigh…

We find out that the super rich are involved with a sex trafficker and, unlike our Euro compatriots who are forcing accountability, we’re just shrugging our shoulders.

Maybe that’s what Noah wants, a super-citizenry based on net work that faces no consequence for evil acts.

Until the media points out that these kinds of statements are ridiculous…

Oh wait, it’s Fox.

I tend to agree with this, but a scenario where the GOP crowns JD without a primary is certainly within the realm of possibility.

And that would be bad.

Seems like we are.

I mean, Greenland, ICE, revoking visas for speech that offends Marco Rubio…

Sigh…

She hedged on a question that all presidents hedge.

For God’s sake, Biden had to walk back his statements when he said we’d defend Taiwan militarily.

It’s a shit question with a tricky answer.

Are there a lot of white guys on the O’s this year?

Well that was stupid.

Anyhow, don’t want to wear a uniform for USAWC? Then take the correspondence course while you’re in command or on G staff as my dad did.

I think PA might be a bit implausible.

By the way, Elon pronounced Scots-Irish with a hard R.

Wait.

You mean they don’t mean jazz preservation???

Note to Elon:

This was the bad guy in the movie

We were wrong.

They don’t want to take us back to the 1950s.

They want to take us back to the 1850s.

Did these guys understand that Bill the Butcher was the bad guy in that Scorsese film?

Would be the Tesla killer

Oh word? Sounds amazing.

Something I learned during Biden’s term was that economist’s concerns about inflation aren’t about consumers, but rather corporate interests.

Similar thing now where headlines and admin rave about low inflation, but for real people, they don’t see it.

Don’t blow off affordability as an issue.

Yeah, but there are not multiple ways to interpret what she means when she adds “electing the right leaders.”

Wait. You plan on retiring?

I just assume that I’ll die at my desk while writing an AVC.

I don’t think I’ve seen a president tell soldiers to vote a specific way.

This is not an insignificant breach of norms and deserves significantly more coverage.

I get the complaint from Rupar, but since then, there have been so many worse things coming out of the WH.

The social media team is great, but Newsom has a record that he would need to defend and, well, it would be a target rich environment for GOPniks.

This is pretty embarrassing.

It’s clear that Carl has never actually had to defend his beliefs on “white culture”.

Does anyone want to break it to him that what he thinks is “white” music was created by black people? And I mean country, not jazz.
