@TheMopingOwl @davidfrum His comment answered the question. It treated her as a close friend by making a joke. But your TDS doesn’t allow you to see either. Pathetic.

@Deconn @davidfrum As well as being crass, Trump completely ducked the question: then, Japan was an enemy, now, they're an ally. To suggest it's reasonable to treat an ally like an enemy is weird.

Absolute bombshell. John Bolton admits the administration completely forgot to secure the Strait of Hormuz before starting a war. He reveals the Secretary of Energy didn't even think it would affect oil prices. The incompetence of these warmongers is staggering.

@DschlopesIsBack The island is in the wrong place. Where are the aircraft? They all can't fit in the Hanger deck. Who ever did this, you failed the test.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Seven times. That's how many times Democrats have tried to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. And every single time, Republicans have refused. They would rather protect ICE's lawlessness than protect our communities. How despicable.

@KellyScaletta No. It's mostly to load states with new bodies that can be counted to increase the number of congressional reps. Eventually, yes, they expect those people will vote Dem. In the meantime, they just cheat. Simple.

If you genuinely believe that millions of non-citizens are being imported by the Democrats to vote and steal elections, you are an obscenely stupid person.

@davidfrum Reminds me of the movie (60s, I think), "The Mouse That Roared". Almost comical.

If you wonder why Europeans flinch from helping US in Gulf - in January, NATO allies were seriously preparing for a US sneak attack on Greenland, planning to blow up runways to prevent a Trump re-enactment of Putin's failed strike on Kyiv.
Orla Joelsen@OJoelsen

Denmark prepared for a possible U.S. attack: Flew blood supplies to Greenland and planned to blow up runways Key sources in Denmark and Europe are now revealing for the first time what happened during the most critical days, when Donald Trump threatened to take Greenland “the hard way.” When Danish soldiers were rapidly deployed to Greenland in January this year, they brought explosives with them. The plan was to destroy runways in Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq to prevent American military aircraft from landing troops on the island, should the U.S. president ultimately decide to seize Greenland by force. They also transported blood supplies from Danish blood banks so wounded personnel could be treated in case of combat. This is reported by DR, which over the past year has spoken with central sources in the Danish government, top military officers, and high-ranking officials and intelligence sources in Denmark, France, and Germany. All sources have played—and continue to play—key roles in the international crisis triggered by the United States’ demand for control over Greenland. Together, the sources describe an unprecedented year marked by sleepless nights. None of them had concrete intelligence of specific American attack plans against Greenland. Still, many feared in January that the historically important ally, the United States, could attack at any moment. At the same time, Denmark reached out to its European allies, leading to closer cooperation. “With the Greenland crisis, Europe realized once and for all that we must be able to handle our own security,” said a French senior official involved in the intense period. A rapid-response force consisting of Danish, French, German, Norwegian, and Swedish soldiers was first deployed to Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq. Shortly after, a main force followed, including: -Soldiers from the Danish Dragoon Regiment in Holstebro -Elite troops from the Jaeger Corps -French alpine troops trained for cold and mountainous warfare At the same time, Danish fighter jets and a French naval vessel were sent to the North Atlantic. According to several sources, the goal of having multinational troops on the ground was to ensure that any U.S. attempt to take Greenland would require a large-scale hostile action—thereby deterring such an attempt. “We have not been in such a situation since April 1940,” said a Danish defense source, referring to the days before Denmark’s occupation during World War II. Unlike in 1940, when Denmark chose not to resist militarily, the government and defense leadership this time decided—after extensive confidential discussions—to take the opposite approach: If the U.S. attempted an attack, Danish forces would be armed and ready to fight. Danish F-35 fighter jets deployed north were also fully armed. All this despite the understanding that Denmark could not realistically withstand a U.S. military attack. “The cost for the U.S. had to be raised. The U.S. would have to carry out a hostile act to take Greenland,” said a senior Danish defense source. Source: DR

@JamieMetzl Once again point to the media's role in this. The majority have become nothing more than a propaganda tool of the far left, daily drumming hate for anything done by the current administration.

I am a Democrat. I served in the Clinton administration. I did not vote for Donald Trump and am highly unlikely to support him or his acolytes in the future. I also have serious disagreements with many of the Trump administration’s domestic and foreign policies. But it is profoundly disturbing that a growing segment of the far left appears to be almost rooting for Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian regime, and other forces fundamentally opposed to the United States and our allies. This seems to reflects a corrosive strain of anti-Americanism, dressed up in postcolonial theory, that risks blinding us to the moral realities of our world and the nature of our adversaries.

A good starting salary coming out of college in the early 70s was $9-10,000. My Ensign's annual pay was exactly $4563.60, $5883.60 when flight pay kicked in. It's all relative. We all treaded water, survived and many prospered.

Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.” No, you didn’t. You didn’t pay $3200 for rent and $10 for eggs. You didn’t graduate into $50K student debt and $0 job security. Gen Z isn’t dramatic. They’re drowning.

18 YEARS OLD… 25 YEARS IN PRISON A Texas teen just got hit with 25 years for a convenience store robbery. The judge made it clear - probation wasn’t even on the table due to his previous record while being held in jail. Said he didn’t have a real chance at success outside. His family broke down in court as the sentence was handed down. At 18… your whole life is just starting - But one decision can change everything forever. Do you think this sentence fits the crime… or is it too much? ⬇️ 🇺🇸

@jakesyma @justinamash No. They calculated wrong, that these Arab countries would side with a Muslim country and force the US to stop. Didn't work and so now they are angry, at the end of their rope and lashing out. My opinion.

BOMBSHELL: Iran offered to give away ALL of its enriched uranium during peace talks in Geneva. The British thought it was a credible offer. Hours later, Trump started bombing Iran anyway. The US didn't want peace, they wanted war.

trump and Hegseth are responsible for a cluster f*ck of MASSIVE proportions; their failure to plan has resulted in 12 American deaths SO FAR, and I'm not letting them off the hook. Remember what they did to President Biden? Yeah, me too.
