@micyoung75 Apparently it is being moved to the National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton, OH, a place open to the public. That, rather than ‘rage of the day’ claims of ‘racism’ actually makes sense.

@micyoung75 Another BS post. There is no evidence of this having happening… even Snopes (no fan of anyone in the Trump administration) who is still investigating this claim has yet to find any evidence the Sec of War Hegseth removed the portrait, or any reason he would have done so..

Hegseth removed Chappie James's portrait from the Air Force Art Gallery and left the wall empty. James flew 179 combat missions across two wars. First Black four-star general in US military history. Curry passed that portrait every day for a decade. When it came down, he retired. The wall is still empty.

@ebert_ann This is just another ‘rage flavor of the day post. Jame’s portrait was moved, but because of racism. It is being moved to the National Museum of the Air Force in Dayton, OH, a location that is open to the public. But hey, nice try

@DominickAquili3 @patrickgaspard If so that, rather than the BS post by Patrick, would be a realistic explain for why it would be moved.

@HaefeliRich @patrickgaspard It is being transferred out of the building entirely to the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. Someone will see it there it’s open to the public. People will know more about his legacy.

First black 4 star General in US Military history who flew 179 combat missions in 2 wars for this nation. We all know why Hegseth is doing this and what he’s in the service of. We need to name it in our politics and stop hiding behind polite euphemisms.

@corbinwilliams @ewarren @avinash_rhyme @grok @SenWarren Me thinks Elizabeth Warren is debating her choice to go into politics. Her personal net worth has skyrocketed somehow on a congressman’s salary (really a look at her own wealth accumulation is interesting) but she can’t compare.

@ewarren @avinash_rhyme Hey @grok, how many people does Elon Musk employee in the United States, and how much economic impact does his companies provide for America?

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. This needs to be a wake up call.

Newsflash… the law requires a ‘jury of his peers’ and the definition of that term is very precise. It does NOT require the jury looks like him or shares his hairstyle. This is why the defense did not protest the choices… which included both minorities and women. He got a fair trial. Deal with it.

I have not yet read the full trial transcript. But so far, I do know this. Karmelo Anthony was entitled to a jury of his peers. He did not get that. On that ground alone, he is entitled to a new trial. Minorities are not interchangeable. The prosecutor’s reported proffered reasons for striking all black jurors —that they were teachers—appears to be pretext. Anthony needs a new lawyer on appeal and in a new trial. His trial lawyer allowed in opinion evidence that should have been struck. He also seemed unable to appreciate and counter the impact of racial overtones in that case. Those overtones are clear even on Twitter commentary as folks seek to paint Metcalf as having no culpability in what happened and Karmelo as a complete monster. The facts on how the matter escalated are more complicated than that. He and they had no such authority. They are also apparent in the statements that seek to deputize Metcalf and other kids with authority to remove Anthony. They had none and initiated the conflict. That does not mean they should have been killed but it means they have explaining to do. The lawyer for Anthony apparently did not require that explaining. It is fair to ask how the Anthony’s ended up selecting that lawyer. The trial judge must be disqualified in any new trial if he actually gave an interview about the case before the appeal was considered. He has negatively affected the appeal rights of the defendant. He should know better. He should also be disqualified if he has any relationship with the Metcalf side. In a criminal trial, the prosecution has the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The defendant does not have to prove he is not guilty. Those rules apply to everyone. They apply to Anthony.

@libsoftiktok @Will_Tanner_1 @TDCJ The sad part is that the number one cause of death for black males aged 15-35 is murder…but what this woman, like all of Karmelo’s supporters conveniently omit is that some 96%of those murders are at the hands of other black males. Wonder if she can ‘protect’ him from those?

This woman claims to be on the Board of Pardons and Parole in Texas She allegedly posted this after Karmelo Anthony was found guilty. We reached out to @TDCJ but they declined to respond

@Liz_Wheeler A perfect explanation of ‘tribal thinking’ on the part of Karmelos supporters..

I’m trying to understand the left’s argument supporting Karmelo Anthony. Karmelo followed Austin Metcalf into the Memorial high school tent. In high school athletics, this is a provocation. 15 times, Karmelo was asked to leave the tent. He didn’t. He then challenged Austin Metcalf to touch him and “find out.” Someone pushed Karmelo. Per video, maybe two minor pushes. Witnesses testify Austin Metcalf did NOT punch Karmelo or do anything that would cause serious bodily harm. So Karmelo had no reasonable belief—the standard for self-defense—that his life was in danger. Nonetheless, Karmelo immediately grabs a knife from his bag —which he was carrying illegally, no knives allowed on school property— and stabs Austin Metcalf in the heart, killing him. Karmelo then throws the knife and runs away. Moments later, after police arrest him and refer to him as the “alleged” suspect, Karmelo admits he killed Metcalf, saying: “I’m not alleged, I did it.” So— The jury was NOT “all white.” There were Asians, Hispanics & Arabs reportedly on the jury. Karmelo’s lawyer wasn’t a public defender, he was a private attorney. The left claims “racism!” But facts matter. There is ZERO evidence of racism. And all the facts demonstrate beyond the shadow of a doubt that Karmelo Anthony murdered Austin Metcalf. If you think Karmelo should walk free, YOU are the racist because you’re basing that on his skin color alone while ignoring the reality of the crime he committed.

@mattvanswol @CurtisHouck Nothing is wrong with them. In her ‘reality’ other races and minorities are irrelevant, as are women. Any jury that doesn’t have people that look just like them is an ‘all white jury.’

@CurtisHouck ...so just to be clear She sat INSIDE the courtroom and saw a jury that was comprised of Hispanic, Asian, White, and Middle Eastern people... But she lies and says the jury was "ALL WHITE"??? What is wrong with these people?!!!!!!

Karmelo Anthony's mother and father on Thursday's 'CBS Mornings'... "My son didn't intend to hurt anyone. My son was defending himself." "What stuck out to me, number one, was the all-white jury, but I was trying to be, you know, like, all right, it's not that big of a deal. I mean, the truth is on our side."

@gman5180 @JerseytoAsia There is a reason he is unmarried, has no children and spends any quality time he has with his cats. Guess it’s not just ‘maga’ people that deny election results, huh. Any relevance Olberman had disappeared a long time ago… on to actual news.

Keith Olbermann wants....actually, he demands that Americans stop referring to Trump as THE PRESIDENT! He says.. “The title of president ... that we must protect for a happier and more honest time. Resistance means refusal." Thoughts? ❓❓

@RepShontelBrown Well of course you voted no. Heaven forbid that Immigration and Customs Enforcement should be allowed to enforce federal law and deport illegal aliens (the actual legal term) … or better put …your future constituents

This week, Republicans passed a reckless budget that does nothing to lower costs for Americans, but does give ICE billions of YOUR tax dollars to continue their reign of terror on our communities.

I refuse to give another dime to Trump's lawless ICE- that's why I voted NO.

@CRayD7777 @itsrosesm Anthony was truly fortunate that 35 years was all he was sentenced to. He’ll be eligible for parole in half that time. His victim will never be eligible to be alive again.

@CRayD7777 @itsrosesm The jury was not all white. There were a fair number of minorities and women on the jury, but in the current political climate ‘all white’ means ‘no blacks.’ The fact is he killed another person without real provocation, and even the defense witnesses supported the prosecution.

DO YALL REALLY THINK KARMELO ANTHONY DESERVES TO BE IN JAIL..?

@SenatorWarnock Nothing is decided or actually happening yet.

This is not the way CNN reported it..not misinformation but deliberately misleading. The actual report ‘According to recent reporting, the U.S. Postal Service is proposing a rule that would require states to hand over voter lists in order to receive mail ballot delivery for federal elections. This move follows a Trump executive order and has already sparked legal challenges from over two dozen states’

Donald Trump is doing everything in his power to silence your voice. This is what happens when authoritarians are desperate to hold on to power.

@Suzierizzo1 I love the assumption that someone you apparently disagree with is somehow a bot (though it is true that there are full scale bot farms posting on X). I’m no fan of Trump, but there are enough true things to criticize without posting disinformation. Have a good day!

Another textbook example of disinformation. Have done a wide search and there is no reliable source anywhere reporting this. Col. Malachowski’s record and achievements are well documented with no changes by the current administration, who would have no power to do so anyway. BS called.

This Administration has removed the achievements of the Air Force’s first female Thunderbird pilot Retired Colonel Nicole Malachowski. The removal of these articles have sparked criticism because her place in Air Force history is not a Political slogan it’s well documented.

@libsoftiktok Hey, his tribal affiliation is correct, regardless of his actions (at least up to a point). An overwhelming majority of voters vote for their party, not the candidate. He could very well win if more Dems than Reps vote this November .

Graham Platner just won his primary Democrats voted for a guy who: - had a nazi tattoo - lied repeatedly about his nazi tattoo - said he would rape people - sexted with women while married - bragged about drawing penises in porta potties - praised islamic terrorists - said he’s a communist - joined an app known to be used by predators to contact minors

@ChaosTV The guy is being a total dick, but he is also legally correct and the officer was attempting to intimidate. There have been a number of cases like this in my state at least that the officers have never won.
