Yesterday was a tragic day for America and our Air Force. I flew the KC-135 for just two years at the start of my Air Force career, but this one still hits close to home. Keep our military in your prayers.

Oh, honey . . . just because you played dress-up at a fake "military academy" that your parents sent you to because you were such an unmanageable, obnoxious teenager doesn't mean you were in the miliary. You had that duty, but lied to get out of it.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

$1 billion per day on a war in the Middle East that no one wants, while millions of people at home struggle.

"That's just how it is."

Gupta: Why is Dr. Casey Means not right for the role of Surgeon General?

First, she’s somebody who wraps herself in a white coat — she did a lot of that during her confirmation hearing — but she doesn’t actually practice medicine. In some ways it’s just false valor.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

Too many people, including some news media, let the truth be trampled upon without thought for what is happening to us and our nation.

I don't think I've ever seen a SecDef* look so completely, utterly, flailingly out of his depth.

*Sorry, SecWar. Or maybe SecIncursions.

We all know how Trump’s Iran War ends. With the military doing what they were ordered to do very well, Trump failing to achieve what he promised, costing taxpayers a fortune, America’s standing in the world diminished, higher gas prices & inflation, with Trump declaring victory.
