@BlackDumpling How about looking at Black troops who served in the Pacific? May grandfather was one and saw combat.

TUSKEGEE AIRMEN FAKE AS WAKANDA: It's an interesting premise. In fairness I think the Tuskegee Airmen are less known for their combat prowess and more for being AMERICAN SOLDIERS who "Got used as test subjects for syphilis".
Thing is... that didn't happen either. But a surprising number of people believe it did.
While the Tuskegee Experiment did occur and it did use unwitting African American sharecroppers as test subjects for syphilis trials the truth is that American Mythology has been strangely cultivated over the past few decades to always be the focus of atrocity.
No, seriously. Think about this for a second.
When was the last time you heard an American Myth that made us seem GREATER than we actually were at the time, as opposed to somehow making us seem worse?
It seems all we're ever shown these days are flaws and sins, and not just flaws and sins... but exaggerated versions of them. Our own myths have shifted to paint *us* as the bad guys in our stories.
Thats.. weird when you think about it. No nation in history intentionally made themselves the villains of their own stories, except us, and if no other nation has done it except ours that raises an interesting question. Is it deliberate?
Meaning... if our myths about us were substituted for the myths about us of those who hated us would those myths look any different?

@DoctorTurtleboy If it is paint hiding blood, I bet if you cut that wood out you’ll definitely find blood evidence where the paint couldn’t reach.

Think Trump was aggressive to Zelenskyy for no reason?
Watch the whole talk.
Timestamps below.
Zelenskyy was emotional.
Interrupted Trump.
Called Putin names.
Raised his eyebrows.
All before Trump checked him.
And he called Vance a bitch.
He wasn’t ready for peace.
2:00 Trump compliments Zelenskyy
4:00 Zelenskyy calls Putin a terrorist
12:00 Trump cracks joke with Zelensky
13:56 Zelenskyy interrupts Trump
17:20 Zelenskyy throws his hands up in seeming frustration
19:00 reporter asks Zelenskyy why he’s not wearing a suit
19:22 Trump commits to sending arms to Ukraine
19:41 Zelensky raises eyebrows and rolls eyes at Trump’s statement
22:55 Trump takes the edge off of the suit question by joking with Zelensky that he likes his outfit
23:49 Zelensky contradicts Trump and keeps painting Putin in a negative light
24:19 Zelensky says Putin will never accept ceasefire and pushes for American security guarantee
25:55 Zelensky says Putin hates Ukrainians
27:00 Zelensky says Putin should pay all reconstruction costs
29:19 Zelensky shakes head as Trump speaks
32:22 Zelensky says Putin wants to annex Poland
32:30 Zelensky says Putin will attack America
33:00 Zelensky interrupts Trump
39:19 This is when Trump went on the offensive by calling out Zelenskyy hatred for Putin and started to escalate
39:14 Vance says Zelensky has been disrespectful, and conversation continues to escalate
42:40 Apparently calls Vance “suka”, meaning bitch, under his breath.
You don't have to like how Trump handled this, but don’t buy into the story that he ambushed Zelensky.

Please tell me they’re taking @RonPaul and @RandPaul with them! They deserve it after all they’ve fought for over the decades.

@MattWallace888 There are people that just like to watch planes take off and land.
Weird, I know. But everyone has their weird thing. 🤷🏽♀️

Accurate.
We just renamed US Digital Services, created by Obama, to US DOGE Services, with a mandate to modernize all computer systems in the US government.
This is something that is sorely needed!

🧵🧵DOGE - A Lawyer’s Perspective on the @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump Policy Centerpiece I inherently do not trust the media so I decided to look into DOGE myself and see what is under the hood. Initially I was quite concerned about the legality of a “new agency” created by executive order but that - just like everything else - is a lie put out by the mainstream. The order is here and the thread is below: @VigilantFox

Gently, softly, calmly, let’s talk about what’s happening in DC right now.
Friends, have you ever been through a ZBB process? If not, let me give you my take. So, in a corporation where expenses are out of control, you have to put the entire company through a zero based budgeting process. It is one of the most painful things that people in a company experience.
You basically have to justify every. single. expense. And you also cut a bunch, and then only add back after you’ve gone through a proper ZBB cycle.
The US government is going through a ZBB right now. And that is necessary because spending is out of control. The complexity is so vast that I expect it will take AI to decipher.
You cannot tell me that a government that accidentally wires hundreds of millions of dollars to the Taliban has its finances in order. That signals an underlying disaster. That signals bad stewardship of resources.
In fact, it is a disaster. Over the last 20 fiscal years, the US government has made ~$2.7 trillion in "improper payments," according to the US Government Accountability Office. Trillion! With a T!
That financial management disaster was not caused by @elonmusk. And there is no painless way to clean it up.
Elon is doing what any executive would do walking into a giant mess. You ZBB and then build back.
So, I don’t believe that America is going to be on the wrong side of global right and wrong, as some are saying. I don’t believe that America is going to be permanently isolationist. I do believe that unwatched finances will get out of control in any human system, and that the GAO has been trying to ring this bell for years, and that scaled complexity requires scaled financial management.
Because the US has the largest budget in the world, it will now go through the single most complex ZBB ever undertaken in the history of the world.
Some states do ZBB, but it's never been done at the federal level. President Jimmy Carter tried, but the bureaucratic systems were too complex, and President Ronald Reagan abandoned the attempt.
So, if there is one person in the world chosen to lead this Grand Canyon of projects, we would hope for the president to choose one of the best capital allocators on the planet. Better if that human is also one who can leverage AI and technical talent to manage the massive complexity.
Anyone who has lived through a ZBB at the corporate level will tell you that it’s hell and everyone hates it. This is why I feel really bad for federal workers -- I have a lot of empathy for civil servants and people doing a great job every day for the United States. No doubt, the uncertainty is trying and stressful for many. It's an unfortunate situation.
So, that's my take. I don't want to speak beyond what I know and can observe from the other side of the country. I've worked both in the private sector and the public sector -- the cultures are different. And an Elon-Musk-style culture is going to be the most hard core of them all. No doubt, it's jarring. It's gonna be a lot.
But what I also know is that every time I have ever doubted Elon, I ended up being the one who was wrong.

@WSSCWaterNews, you do know about the apparent break at Sangamore Rd. and Sentinel Dr. in Bethesda, right? It's been pouring out of the ground since yesterday.

If anything, this story also shows there are still local journalists around the country who still are ACTUAL JOURNALISTS doing their job.

@Piotr10578784 @comicxbook I think Mackie did great in the role with what he was given. He definitely studied the first season. There was a scene where he did and said something that I did a double take on cause it was exactly like something Kinneman did in the first season.
