DHS HR: “look it clearly says right here in paragraph 6.9. — ‘the Secretary’ … nowhere in here does it specify a name or an individual, so the duty is to the *position*…”

I am pleased to announce that the Highly Respected United States Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), effective March 31, 2026. The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. I thank Kristi for her service at "Homeland."

“radical narco-communism and narco-tyranny that threaten our people, borders, and sovereign lands in the name of a false sovereignty or false peace”

I’m sorry but what the fuck does that even mean, this is just noise-shaped air

the “200” number keeps getting repeated, but even MRFF and the substack guy concede that 80% of those are repeats (~40 unique reports), and only one (1) is actually quoted as the “it’s god’s plan for armageddon” bit … so, safe to assume that’s the worst one and the others are way less egregious

Jon, you chump, of course he's not gonna say 'I'm a Nazi.'
He's running for Senate.

But I understand you're new to politics and might be unfamiliar with the need to look more broadly than at just what a candidate says, to look at what he does also.

Don't worry, you'll learn with time.

What’s the name of this organization?

We call it the Department of War

And the head of that department is?

The Secretary of War

And the workers in this organization?

Warfighters

And these people are fighting a war.

Oh no. My goodness no.

‘We’re seeing chaos.’ Hundreds turned away at Dallas County polls amid switch to precincts The switch surprised and frustrated voters who stopped to vote on their way to work or between errands only to be redirected elsewhere – an outcome predicted...

Dallas County voters can thank the county GOP and Allen West for this clusterfuck

One reason and one reason only:

“Still, some experts found it hard to ignore the political convenience of the new meeting date: If the United States were to lose its elimination status, that would now most likely happen after the November midterm elections.”

It’s fine. Plans to combat the worst outbreak of the MOST contagious disease known to medicine can definitely wait 9 months. We’ll only have 4,000-10,000 new cases by then, and likely a few dead kids ☠️☠️☠️

Doesn’t excuse the lack of coordination but there’s also the bit where arranging evacuation for many 10s of thousands of people isn’t like flipping a switch

Hard to know where to start with this, but I’ll go with the concept of linear passage of time
• sleepy Joe depleted everything
• but I rebuilt it in my first term (…before that?)
• and continue to do so

we’ve progressed from brain worms to brain wormhole
