Cannot get over that I’m reading about ICE rounding up Native Americans. If irony weren’t already dead….

Uh, I guess the Defense Dept can still celebrate St. Patrick's day? Italian-American Heritage Month? Polish American Heritage Month? National German-American Day and German American Heritage Month? And especially Norwegian Constitution Day.

We are back to extraordinarily morally flawed white males unilaterally deciding which Americans are allowed to exercise their Rights as Americans to serve their country.

Let's call it what it is - 1913 all over again. And the complicity of the news media in not calling this out is shameful.

Hesgeth was sworn in the 25th and canceled the military’s observation of Holocaust Remembrance Day which is January 27th, just to add that particular insult to injury.

Since President Beauregard G. Fatass knows nothing about anything, here's something everyone else should know: when the controller asked the helicopter pilot "do you have t he CJR in sight?" before telling the pilot to "pass behind the jet," he was following Standard Procedure for air control under Visual Flight Rules - which were in force last night. This question and the pilot's confirmation insures that pilot and controller are looking at the same situation.

Wonder if "reformed" drunk Hegseth will "rescind" President Truman's Executive Order 9981: Desegregation of the Armed Forces (1948), as "woke" and "DEI-driven".

Press conferences for, like, eternity, have been sound and light shows, a lot of smoke with pretty much no fire.

So Trump’s spin on them and the resulting fake scandal, I mean, what do they even matter? That some lies are distributed one way, others differently. It’s all a show resulting another day’s spew of BS for the media to promote.

It’s also part of the petard with which Biden and Harris hoisted themselves: can’t defend broken/failing institutions without acknowledging they’re broken. These daily press conferences are that.

So Donny turned them into a complete farce of irrelevancy. Come on, there’s far more important concerns than, well, by define any farce.
