War with Iran

Anyone want to bet Hegseth is gone by next weekend?

No way, he was probably never told or never saw news of the carrier until he was asked.  And he is going to be very mad at Kegsbreath for not telling him about this.  Because this makes him look like a dumbass (he is) who doesn't care about the troops (he doesn't).  BUT he needs to pretend like he does care.  Pair it with how poorly the Iran war is going and it is a perfect recipe for a replacement.

Are there any other booze-loving Fox News weekend hosts available to take over?

I'll take that bet. Hegseth continues to tickle Trump's taint just right, and incompetence is not in itself a disqualifier.

Not an accusation. A fact. F*ck Walz.

Thank you for your military service

Dear U.S. soldiers and sailors: Sorry if you and your families are Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddist, atheist or anything other than Christian ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Department of Defense is introducing a course centered on Western civilization and Christianity this fall in the schools it operates for military families, part of an effort by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to redirect the education system toward patriotic values and classical learning.

The Department of Defense Education Activity operates about 160 schools across 11 countries and educates roughly 70,000 students who are children of active-duty military or civilian service members. Conservatives have eyed the schools — which, unlike most public schools, are run by the federal government — as a testing ground for reshaping education.

The Western civilization course planned for this fall will use a textbook published by Encounter Books, a conservative publishing house. Titled "The Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition, Volume I: The Ancient World and Christendom," it includes suggested lesson plans created in partnership with Hillsdale College, a conservative Christian school in Michigan that has also developed influential materials for K-12 schools.

Never underestimate the staying power of stupidity and cruelty.

So if you're Russia or china, you don't fear the US military at all, right?

4 months of war against Iran and we seriously run low on our interceptor stock and literally cannot resupply?

Reminds me of 2020, when he "claimed, for Electoral Vote purposes, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (which won't allow legal observers), the State of Georgia, and the State of North Carolina, each one of which has a BIG Trump lead. Additionally, we hereby claim the State of Michigan ... "

China, definitely not. Russia, they're a little preoccupied gets their asses beat by Ukraine.

Then again, Ukraine is busy beating our ass as well.

Gripping, heartbreaking accounts from parents of U.S. sailors who are being lied to, disrespected and mistreated by America's "leaders":

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/families-of-us-sailors-denounce-trump-and-hegseth-for-dismissing-their-experiences-and-calling-them-liars/ar-AA2adZOk?ocid=nl_article_link

And it's not even just the travesty of how USS Abraham Lincoln sailors are being treated:

The Tripoli was redeployed from its base in Sasebo, Japan, on 11 March, and returned to base last month. Over the five months of active deployment, the mother's son lost more than 30lbs in weight.

The mother, herself a naval veteran with six years service, showed the Guardian photos of her child before and after deployment. Before he had a fleshy round face and muscular arms; after, in a photo in which he is seen holding a placard saying "The wait is over, welcome home daddy," he is markedly skinny with thin arms and scrawny neck.

"He's emaciated," the mother said. "This is so insane – he didn't deserve this. When I saw that photo I was livid. It should not have gotten this far."

She sent the Guardian screenshots of communications with her son while he was on active duty. "I need to make up weight," he said in one. Asked how much weight, he replied: "Quite a bit. I'm not anorexic and my rib cage isn't showing, but I've definitely lost weight. It's been rough."

"I'm running very low on energy. I am burnt out," he said in a separate text.

In a third, he said: "I eat when I can. My coworkers make sure everyone in our unit eats and we all try to share food whenever someone gets more than normal. Keep praying for us. We are doing our best to make sure we protect our country and our families."

North Korea is now our ally

[Uncle Rico]

Now that North Korea is our ally, I believe I'm fine with them having nuclear weapons and using them if necessary.  Kim is very kind to our POTUS and unlike South Korean leadership, he can do as he pleases without answering to his people.  That's leadership, the kind we need in America

Well, the people are pretty stupid.

No one said we are the best or smartest.  Only that we spend the most.
