@SkinnerPm I agree on all and wish we had smart negotiators to end this war.

I don’t think the US should be bombing Iran. I don’t think that US troops should be in Iran. But if they are, I am glad that the US will do anything to rescue one of our personnel. It’s not about the cost. It’s about the code. Rescue those who can be rescued. No matter what.

@SkinnerPm @kittymadgrrrr What are they doing.

The DOJ is the favor-for-friends department now.

@warmatters How my country went from Robert Gates to Pete Hegseth in 15 years I’m still trying to understand.

That strategy of tactics in full. Or how to the DOW to spend more on Maven and replacing used munitions…

@williemoeday @catswithjobs I’m assuming his job is to make sure you have to do it all over again.

@SkinnerPm Yum. Good luck in the dumpling contest.

Oh me? I just made my 1st dumplings ever (used wrappers, didn’t want make wrapper for first time out). Made pork & cabbage & chives dumplings. Had Theresa & neighbor try them in prep for dumpling contest at work. Getting pretty folds takes a bit. Boil & then wok fry works great!

@SkinnerPm As a fellow Deep South azalea lover, I empathize.

After the obliterating & decimating success of Operation Epic Azalea, I have finally rid the force of all the woke growth of the last five years, and cut back them back to a lethality never seen before. You win, Theresa.

@SkinnerPm Mean Cat looks attentive to your wounded finger.

Cutting back the azaleas, there was an ‘incident.’ Had I not been wearing gloves, it would have been the kind of incident where you get a new nickname. Still, anti-good. But…use enough tape and peroxide means no stitches, Theresa, so no worries…I’ve done it before in afg. Ugh.

@SkinnerPm I am sick of this administration thumbing its nose at our Constitution. Soulless people, far from Christianity, trying to cram their propaganda down our throats. It’s all about $$ and power & has nothing to do with Jesus.

The first amendment has two religion clauses: the free exercise clause, and the establishment clause. This clearly runs afoul of the establishment clause. The government account is saying Jesus is “our savior”. Not how this works, people. Not how any of this works.

@Angry_Staffer @AngryInAGoodWay @gifking71 Egad, Iranian sand and our aircraft. Thank goodness the military does redundancy. Good plan to blow up the transport unlike that darned drone we left there years ago. So glad the Colonel and his rescuers are out.

@AngryInAGoodWay @gifking71 Sure. They found where he evaded to, got in a firefight to get him out. Then they landed at a refueling point to put everyone on transport aircraft to leave Iran, but the aircraft got stuck in the sand. They brought more aircraft, blew up the stuck ones and went back to base.

If you’re lost behind enemy lines, we will move heaven and earth to try and bring you home alive. If we can’t do that, we’ll move heaven and earth to bring you home anyway. That’s the promise, and it’s non-negotiable. I’ve been worried about the WSO all day. Glad he’s safe.

@EdwardGLuce And this sad site is overwhelmed with hater trolls trolling for a particular immigrant who has made a fortune using taxpayer funding & who has financially supported the worst, most incompetent government in our history. If Democrats do not take the majority in Nov, pitchforks.

This site’s awash with idiots who cheerled the Iraq war, didn’t learn a thing from that fiasco, and are now squaring their idiocy by doing the same with Trump and Iran. Thought about expressing this more politely but there’s no point in euphemism. America is deservedly alone.

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in the history of the United States. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. If we see this, we can stop it, overcome the movement that brought us to this point, and make a turn towards something better. snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-cou…

@catsliketennis I’m so sorry about your Charlie.

@SkinnerPm He's an Oscar winner. On a sad note my Orangey, Charlie, passed away at age 17. He was the last of my cats. Not sure if or when I will get another. The house is empty. It's been years since I've been without a furkid. 💔

Adam Driver is a movie star

@AnimaVeroMundi Yes! Florida is easy pickings of Russian and Chinese spies.

How about doing this for all the Russian and Chinese folks ?

@laynebruce What writer of fiction or screenplays could have dreamed up this completely incompetent government taking us into a war in the Middle East with the worst possible loony crusade-loving low IQ man-boy as Sec of Defense.

Could it be that the Secretary of Armed Conflict is a raging, petulant bigot? Just spitballing.

@jkbjournalist Every bookstore and library should have cats. They make good bookmarks whether you are ready to stop reading or not.

He can't be your friend. He is MY friend. Lol.

@DavidAFrench I don’t know how we get through the next 34 months w/o going as insane as Trump is.

The anger at our NATO for not joining Trump's war is totally misplaced. Be angry at the man who can't seem to decide on war aims, launches conflicts in violation of our Constitution, threatens allies with invasion, and is liable to turn on a dime against anyone who offends him.

@DanLamothe Gross, soulless humans.

Polymarket betting on a search and rescue mission:

@maxdkozlov @DefTechPat @dangaristo @Nature I despise this ignorant administration.

BREAKING: In response to huge cuts in Trump's budget request, NSF is closing its social sciences directorate. Staff will be transferred elsewhere in NSF, and "grants that align with Administration priorities" will be kept. W/ @dangaristo for @Nature nature.com/articles/d4158…

@VeraMBergen Then what the hell is Susie doing about it? She’s the Chief of Staff for heavens sake.

Susie Wiles has expressed concerns that aides are giving Trump “a rose-colored view of how the war was being perceived domestically, telling Trump what he wanted to hear” and urged them to “be “more forthright with the boss” about the political and economic risks. @EricCortellessa time.com/article/2026/0… apple.news/AdQHUbJyiR_ymh… This material may be protected by copyright.

@SkinnerPm A hot dog! I like Theresa’s sense of humor.

Made garlic leaf with spiced tofu. Never used either ingredient. Garlic leaf is green garlic. It’s good. Spiced tofu is firm & has five spice flavor. Unfortunately it also tastes like a hot dog according to Theresa. So, good sauce & aromatics & greens for naught. Not a good dish
