Sure is an interesting situation. I would love to get clarity on COVID origins someday, but that'll probably never happen. Some experts people think they already have clarity, on both sides. More credentialed experts appear to be on the side of natural origin though.

In WW2, Marshall was absolutely ruthless in appointing and sacking division commanders. We were sub-par at the beginning of Torch, but the Army got much better pretty quickly, in both theatres. King also went through the Navy pretty hard. The only service that had their stuff wired was the Marines, but the Marines were hardened veterans of the Banana Wars and China.

Sowell should definitely be there.

Yeah, and what about transgendered critters?

@Horace said in The Epstein File: I’m pleasantly surprised the Biden admin didn’t accidentally shred all the documents. FIFY.

Did you enjoy Sedona as well?

I blame the Joos. Morganthau decided to flatline the European piano manufacturers. Obviously. Be seeing you…

Craig wasn’t even James Bond. He was an entirely different character. Take him off the list altogether and put him on a list for ‘Peter Bond’ or whatever.

@taiwan_girl said in Bad Optics: To play devil advocate, ... Not "devil's advocate" at all. From the perspective of public health, it truly is risky for the nation to leave pockets of populations vulnerable to communicable diseases.

Something that stunning and brave is unforgettable. It was at that moment that I fell in love with her.

Note: He wasn't fired. He will still be working on the arrest side of ICE. In other news, they'll reach 2500 beds at Gitmo by this weekend. And Noem just gave another 500 at people at State arresting powers, to be used in immigration enforcement.

I do not care for the language Trump uses. I had hoped he would have learned to be more presidential.

No question it’s a demonstration to divert US public attention away from Europe and into the Pacific - specifically the area around Australia. You can be certain that Moscow and Beijing cooked it up together.

the DOGE claim in a recent post on X that it succeeded in selling off a historic Washington, D.C., property that has been boarded up for years. The historic Webster School building was actually sold at auction in December for $4 million under the Biden administration. Records show that a company called Webster School LLC with members Katie Dang and Hung Tran were the purchasers. The sale appears to have been finalized on Feb. 5, 2025.

Well, he didn't last long. LOL Caleb Vitello, the acting head of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is being reassigned amid internal frustrations over the agency's progress in carrying out President Trump's mass deportation goals, administration officials told CBS News on Friday.

@jon-nyc said in 15-18” of snow: How do we go from 15-18" down to zero in 48 hours? Have you tried asking AI chatbots this question?

Nobody is supposed to notice how thrilled the Democrats and Trump haters in general were, when they watched the eminently preventable January 6 riots. We're supposed to live in the narrative that it's a solemn and tragic moment in American history, that just happens to look a lot like a rhetorical bonanza for the Democrats.
