Mostly harmless. Mostly. Habitual backmarker: old, slow, and in the way. DM = block unless I know you IRL (which I don't). Shalom aleichem, pax vobiscum.

Remember in November: Brave Sergeant Timmy ran away He bravely ran away, away The WARNO said 'Troops we require' He took swift action to retire With stroke of pen and flash of blue This Falcon spread his wings and flew Bravest of the brave, Sergeant Timmy

I love to watch movies and TV shows from 15 years ago and see them using their Windows Phones. I tell my kids that these were phones designed especially for the movies.

Trump’s media henchman doesn’t realize this but what millions of people take away from this is that they SHOULD watch PBS and listen to NPR and turn to independent media. Americans don’t like the government telling them what they can and cannot watch.
Acyn@Acyn

FCC Chair: Trump is winning. Look at the results—PBS and NPR defunded. Joy Reid, Sleepy-Eyed Chuck Todd, Jim Acosta, John Dickerson are gone. Colbert is leaving. CBS is under new ownership, and soon enough CNN will have new ownership as well.

Around 2 to 3 a.m. on March 27, 2026, while most Americans were asleep, while the country assumed its elected officials were either negotiating in good faith or standing firm on principle, the United States Senate quietly slipped a knife into the process. Five senators. That is all it took. You, John Thune, the Majority Leader (R) Eric Schmitt (R) Bernie Moreno (R) Mazie Hirono (D) Andy Kim (R) A skeleton crew. Designed for speed. For silence. For escape. And with that, by unanimous consent, by voice vote, with no roll call, no recorded accountability, no visible opposition, you passed a PARTIAL Department of Homeland Security funding bill. No ICE funding. No CBP funding. At 3 a.m., with five people in the room, the United States Senate passed a bill that stripped funding from the very agencies responsible for immigration enforcement. And you did it without forcing ANYONE to go on record. No names. No votes. No fingerprints. Just a quiet chorus of “aye” in a room so empty it practically echoed. And then you slinked back into the night. This is how power protects itself. With procedure. With timing. With the kind of technical maneuvering that sounds boring enough that most people will tune it out. But they should not tune this out. Not this time. Because buried inside this particular procedural maneuver is something far more revealing than any speech on the Senate floor. It is SURRENDER. I know what you’ll say... open.substack.com/pub/tonyseruga…

@SquidbillyCPO1 @infantrydort And so some insiders could get stupid rich on defense-contractor stocks into the bargain. One of the things I want to research, inspired by my current reading of Broughton's Thud Ridge, is to see who got stupid rich off the Vietnam War.

@infantrydort The Afghanistan campaign should have ended after Bin Laden slipped away in Tora Bora. Instead the generals and politicians decided we would nation build in the grave yard of empires. All so the generals could get a combatant command listed on the fitreps and resumes.

When it came to partnering with Afghans, I was actually convinced for awhile that their failure was my fault. Why? Because that’s what our superiors told us. I remember giving honest assessments in formal reports about the capabilities of Afghans. It led to many confrontations with superiors across different tours. “You can’t write that they don’t do X, Y, or Z in this SITREP. Don’t you know every failure is yours and every success is theirs?” That was the mantra. Every failure was ours and every success theirs. And I believed it. The military intellectual crowd was in charge at the time. The ones who hate us now for noticing their inadequacies. The ones who made us think that we could succeed if we made just one more measure of performance and measure of effectiveness to implement. Maybe we could make that barbarian culture better by just doing one more intellectual thing. No. And it’s those same people who punished us for telling the truth. And they should be shamed for it in perpetuity. Senior leaders in 2021 acted stunned at how the Afghans fell so fast. Nobody could believe it. Maybe they were stunned because the truth had been filtered for decades. Laundered. And for what? Lies. All lies. And they were peddled by the most “intelligent” military leaders among us. So if you’re part of that crowd and are now uncomfortable with the current backlash from “idiots” like me. I simply ask, why? You earned it.
InfantryDort@infantrydort

I always get confused when I hear people say they never saw the collapse of the Afghan military coming. Anyone who’s been on the ground with them knew this. I saw an entire ANA battalion with modern American equipment get pinned down by 3 Taliban with AKs. Begging me for air support. How was this a surprise?

@infantrydort What the military intellectual crowd did to you (and through you, to the rest of us) is moral injury on a Falcon Heavy booster. It's a war crime in the form of an own goal.

@Andrewnsnyder Often, when I pray the daily office of the Book of Common Prayer, the line comes “open my lips O Lord and my mouth shall show forth your praise,” I think of the joy Bombadil shows in the face of every circumstance. So, for me, he’s an avatar of right worship & harmony w/ God.

@BrandonStraka We have waited over long to scour the Shire. The longer we wait the hardier and messier it will be, and when it is done what follows may not be like the America that was... ...but done it must be, come what may. First, though, we have to turn back to the Lord.

Philadelphia streets shut down as large outdoor Muslim prayers draw thousands, blocking traffic. Critics say it disrupts daily life and raises concerns about use of public space. Debate is growing over how cities manage large religious gatherings.

The case of Noelia Castillo Ramos is tragic. Yet prolonging her life or seeking punishment only compounds the suffering. “Euthanasia offers a just resolution,” argues Dr. Frost. Ending her suffering and harvesting her organs ensures some good is drawn from irreversible loss.

Bridgeton, NJ: ICE agents detain Edgar Gomez right outside the courthouse after his hearing. His wife and lawyer were both in the car. He refused to exit, so agents smashed the windows and pulled him out. The meltdown that followed is pure insanity.

Right? At the very least, Tolkien could have included someone who willingly dies for his friends and comes back to life, or maybe a king who takes his place on the throne to bring peace and prosperity, or someone born in obscurity who bears the weight of the world.

You do, of course, realize, that Obama did literally nothing to halt the development of an Iranian nuke and that were it not for Trump and Israel right now they would be plotting how to use that nuke to raise the 12th Imam from a well in Qom. You know that, right? Law student? You are aware of that, right? Nah, you have the maturity of a law student so you don't know it. Beat it Fash. Scram.

Barack Obama completely halted the Iranian nuclear program without firing a single bullet. Donald Trump just spent 15 billion and got 17 service members killed and now the Iranian regime is more poised to pursue nuclear weapons than ever.

Personally I think Republicans in DC are throwing the towel in on purpose because they don’t like President Trump. It’s the only answer that makes sense.

Less than 70 illegals have voted in federal elections in the last 40 years. read that again. My Utah senator @BasedMikeLee is wasting all of our time and tax payer money on a problem that effects less than .0001% of the vote. What a fool.
Mike Lee@SenMikeLee

If everyone is family, no one is family. If everything is urgent, then nothing is urgent. If anyone can illegally exercise a right of American citizenship, like voting—then American citizenship means nothing.

I’m pretty sure that when you hit a ball off the wall you shouldn’t get thrown out on a relay throw designed to go to home plate and redirected to second base by the second baseman! I wonder if standing at home plate and admiring it led to this? To make matters worse the @Nationals challenged the call at second! A real Manager would not have challenged the call and instead would have pulled his lazy ass from the game! @MLB players only do this 💩 because they are not being held accountable by their Managers! It doesn’t take talent to hustle! #shegone @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @hittingguru7 @SalMarinello @TheRealJHair @DMEASrecruiting @JLucroy20 @Dutch_Oven45
