Besides Peyton Manning, who is the first person you think of when you think of Tennessee football?

@Matt_Pinner A tree and some power lines. Get back to work, your break is over....

Apparently if you’re right-brained you see a rabbit, if you’re left-brained you see a turtle. What do you see? 🤔

@lady_valor_07 20% is $100. Don't go out to eat if you can't afford it

We went to a dinner as a group and had a $500 bill. We tipped $40. We were happy we can be able to give our server something, but her reaction was the opposite. She told us she assumed we're going to give her at least $120. When we asked for the manager, she said she was just joking, but she wasn't smiling at all. Idk, but is $40 tip enough for $500 bill? I just feel like expecting $120 is not realistic. ~Lea Robertson

@loafplug @nickshirleyy @grok Just a bunch of Somali fraud, the cancer that is Islam invading our nation.

@Airdropsyops @nickshirleyy @grok I understand it. There’s just nothing there.

Nice to meet you @grok Thanks X for teaching the world to lear🙏🏼

@loafplug @nickshirleyy @grok He doesn't get it, Nick. Lol. Learing Center

@nickshirleyy @grok lear or learn… either way, I’m still waiting for the answer.

@oliviakrolczyk_ It's as if being a loser has become cool...

This is not a flex.

Hours ago, U.S. forces successfully employed multiple 5,000-pound deep penetrator munitions on hardened Iranian missile sites along Iran’s coastline near the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian anti-ship cruise missiles in these sites posed a risk to international shipping in the strait.

@CENTCOM Send it

Retired Army JAG here. And former infantry soldier & officer. And current law professor. And YOU are full of shit. No quarter ORDERS do violate #LOAC. Giving that order is a war crime even if it's not carried out. But that is NOT an order @SecWar @PeteHegseth gave. And that is why you are full of shit. See, I've also trained hundreds of soldiers on LOAC in the applied context. Thousands, actually. And I've advised commanders & decision makers on LOAC in combat, in Afghanistan as Chief of International & Operational Law for CJTF-101/RC-E (OEF XIV). That's why I know the difference between what SECWAR said in a press briefing yesterday & a war crime. Apparently you don't - so I'll do you a favor & spell it out for you step by step, in simple language that you'll hopefully understand. Let's start off with what Hegseth ACTUALLY said: "It's a mess for them. Who's in charge? Iran may not even know. With every passing hour, we know and we know they know, that the military capabilities of their evil regime are crumbling. They can barely communicate, let alone coordinate; they're confused and we know it. Our response? We will keep pressing. We will keep pushing, keep advancing, no quarter, no mercy for our enemies." (war.gov/News/Transcrip…) Alright, if we consider this "no quarter" observation in context, we see Hegseth's intent is to convey that @DeptofWar is going to exert max pressure on our adversary. We know their military capabilities "are crumbling" & we're not going to back off. Keep pushing, keep advancing. "No quarter. No mercy." See, content & intent are important. This is how we differentiate political rhetoric from war crime. Reality from...bullshit. If we go all the way back to Hague, II (1899) & Hague, IV (1907), the Regulations annexed to both Conventions make it forbidden, "To declare that no quarter will be given" (pic 1, from Hague, IV). Seems legit, right? Isn't that what SECWAR just "declared"? Well, if LOAC development stopped at 1907, maybe you could make that argument. But, it didn't. In negotiations for later treaties, delegates decided to be more clear about what exactly that prohibition should entail. So, next we'll consider 2 later treaties 🇺🇸 hasn't ratified but we were deeply involved in shaping - Additional Protocol I (1977) to 1949 Geneva Conventions & Rome Statute @IntlCrimCourt (1998). As we'll see below, these sources confirm Hegseth's political rhetoric is NOT a LOAC violation or war crime...and US DoW doctrine is consistent with relevant text of these treaties. Let's start with AP I. As we see from art. 40, this treaty clarifies (7 decades after Hague IV), "It is prohibited to ORDER that there shall be no survivors, to THREATEN an adversary therewith or to CONDUCT hostilities on this basis" (pic 2). So, 3 specific verbs to highlight + 1 condition. No ordering, threatening, or conducting (verbs) armed hostilities under condition(s) of NO SURVIVORS. Now, reach all the way back in your memory - like 2 minutes ago - when you read actual text of Hegseth's remarks. Do you genuinely believe SECWAR just ordered or threatened there will be no survivors, even if an enemy IRGC member tries to surrender - or that we are now as a result conducting hostilities on that basis? Be honest. Of course not. And no one in the military is going to hear/read his remarks and think, "SECWAR just ordered me to take no prisoners." Seriously. Moving on from AP I, art. 8(2)(b)(xii) of Rome Statute essentially copies text of Hague IV, art. 23(d) to make "declaring no quarter will be given" a war crime (not pictured). BUT the elements of crimes follows AP I (pic 3), as does DoD Law of War Manual (pic 4). Yes, actual no quarter ORDERS do violate LOAC. Just the order alone is a war crime. But max pressure political rhetoric is not the same as an ORDER "that there shall be no survivors." Which means Sec Hegseth's comments are neither LOAC violation nor war crime. Which also means Rep Vindman is full of 💩.

@SenMarkKelly You really need a hobby. Why are you still wasting perfectly good oxygen?

Secretary Hegseth needs to explain exactly what he meant when he said “no quarter." It's well established that it means to take no prisoners — to kill them instead of accept their surrender. That is illegal under U.S. and international law, would put our servicemembers at greater risk, and erodes the good order and discipline of the best military in the world. My letter to the Secretary of Defense:

@lady_valor_07 Definitely. My neighbors mom had a bell she would ring around dark. That meant we all had to go home and eat dinner.

I’ll ask again Did parents in the 70s/80s/90s really allow their kids to roam freely, or is that just a portrayal seen in movies

@Matt_Pinner Darwin's Law at work

What do you call someone who does this 😳

@SenSchumer Democrats hate America. This tweet is proof.

Not a single Senate Democrat will support the SAVE Act. Not this week. Not next week. Not ever. We will oppose it on the floor as long as it takes.

I know some people who need to hear this…

How does this image make you feel?

@KatTimpf May God rest his soul, and those of all our Fallen Heroes! Be thankful for your freedom! This is the price...

28 years old. His whole life ahead of him. Died in Iraq. Horrible beyond words.

@SenMarkKelly Feckless waste of carbon, using up perfectly good oxygen.

“No quarter” isn’t some wanna be tough guy line - it means something. An order to give no quarter would mean to take no prisoners and kill them instead. That would violate the law of armed conflict. It would be an illegal order. It would also put American service members at greater risk. Pete Hegseth should know better than to throw around terms like this.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't

Not only do 100% of the Marines on that MEU want to fight....every single other Marine, active duty and veteran, wishes they could swap places with a Marine on the MEU. There's a 100+ year old WWII veteran somewhere reading this news wishing he could drop the ramp just one more time.

@RadioGenoa Allegedly to offer them a Truth Award

German police are still searching for an anonymous social media user who called this German politician fat.
