Let's fact check this, shall we? --Abortion up until birth --Schools filled with predator staff --Failing student achievement --Zero criminal consequences for child sex predators --Zero accountability for minors running wild and committing crimes --Needles and drug use in many children's parks, as well as next to schools --Mass shooting less than two weeks ago at a children's park --Massive daycare and autism program fraud Yup, totes child friendly.

House Republicans call for DFL lawmaker to be removed from committee after altercation GOP Rep. Drew Roach posted a video of the altercation and said Rep. Aisha Gomez told Rep. Elliott Engen "to 'go f--ing kill himself.'" Engen reposted that video and said “Can confirm. Didn’t have multiple Democrat colleagues yelling at me to ‘go f’ing shoot myself’ on my bingo card…” Gomez denied the allegation. "This kind of behavior is unacceptable and it makes every person in this place less safe," Republican House Speaker Lisa Demuth said in a statement.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. REMEMBER THE REASON FOR THE SEASON! As you fire up the grill next weekend, put the beer on ice, busting out your best burgers or steaks, please remember why we honor Memorial Day. I’m remembering my friend. My roommate and best friend was also an Air Force pilot. Mike Hodge. We met in pilot training and decided to rent an apartment together in Charleston, SC. Two single guys, flying around the world, and enjoying our bachelor lives. We’d walk to the Market area of Charleston, have a few drinks, and chat up some girls. Mike died on takeoff from Sigonella, NAS in Sicily. He was flying a Navy mission to Nairobi, Kenya. On takeoff, they shelled an engine. The shrapnel penetrated the airframe and set hazardous cargo on fire. The pilots donned their oxygen masks but it was too late. They tried to execute an immediate return to the runway and were halfway through their turn. The fumes from the burning cargo overcame them. They never completed the turn and hit a mountain side. Everybody perished. I received a call from our wing commander and walked across our apartment complex to inform his girlfriend. They’d just become engaged. Mike was dead. And then, I told his parents, who lived in nearby Columbia, SC. The most sorrowful moment of my long career. A few weeks later, I flew to escort Mike’s remains to his internment in the national cemetery in Beaufort, SC. I presented the flag to his mother on behalf of a grateful nation. Til Valhalla, Mike.

By far the most embarrassing thing about this is that the hedge fund guy was using the MOST CRINGE website on the entire Internet for milf sex 😬 x.com/i/grok/share/4…

Don’t blame any of California’s problems on MAGA. Your woke team has been in charge of everything for decades.

Tom Pratt was an Ammunition Storage NCO. He managed our Ammunition Storage Area inside the Delta Compound. At the time, I was Delta's Breaching R&D SGM. I could order pretty much anything that we could possibly use in our Breaching R&D Program. I decided to order 40 pounds of Nitroguanidine. It’s a high explosive but has a very slow detonation velocity, more of a pushing affect instead of a cutting effect. I got to work one morning and was told to report to Delta's Commanding Officer. So, I went to his office. He proceeded to ask me why I ordered nitroglycerin. I was puzzled. Then I realized that it must have something to do with the nitroguanidine I ordered. Apparently, when it came in, Tom told the security guards not to rattle the lock on that specific storage locker because there was nitroglycerin inside. The guard put it in his log that nobody was to rattle the lock to test that it was locked, because there was nitroglycerin in there. The Commander received the nightly security report and wondered, “What is Vining up to?” It was funny.

When did you first realize the weight or importance of your job? For me, it was when we had just arrived in Afghanistan. I had graduated EOD school less than a month earlier. While we were en route on the plane, Captain Jason McMahon, the company commander for our sister unit, was mortally wounded. Everyone rushed to the hospital to say their farewells. He was a prior NCO and absolutely loved by everyone. The next day I was tasked to be a Rifle Bearer at his ramp ceremony. I remember standing there as his flag draped casket was loaded onto the aircraft and feeling the enormity of the task that lay ahead. I probably mentally aged 10 years in that moment.

Back in the early 90s, before the Internet, we had "Defrag and Chill". You'd start Disk Defragmenter on your 540MB hard drive, dim the lights, crack open a Surge, and just vibe while the little blue bars crawled across the screen like they were solving world peace. Forty-five minutes of pure, unfiltered anticipation. No notifications. No algorithms. Just the two of you, the gentle grinding of the hard drive, and the sacred promise that your Solitaire games were about to feel 3% snappier. This is MS_DOS 6.22, which I worked on, but I honestly have no idea who wrote defrag. Iconic utility though!

You're upset a 70-year-old woman with a dying mother, no criminal history, and a nonviolent criminal conviction is getting released after 4.5 instead of 9 years? Reevaluate your life, Marc. You are truly a bad dude.

Sad trombone sound 🪊

As we prepare to sign off, we give a final shoutout those who have passionately informed us all week why data centers are the worst. We also would like to thank X's Atlanta data center facility with its hundreds of thousands of GPUs which have processed and delivered each of your opinions.

17 seconds of video, clipped to specifically exclude all adjacent Democrat behavior, censored so you can't hear profane Democrat insults, presented as proof that nothing happened. This is pure unadulterated propaganda.

Beware the empathy exploit. Empathy is good and right when thought through (deep), but can be deadly to civilization when simply stimulus-response (shallow). For example, releasing a repeat violent offender may feel good at first (shallow empathy for the criminal), but it is wrong to do so when that person will go on to hurt or murder innocent victims, as there should be deep empathy for future victims.

The Speaker didn’t bury it - the motion failed to garner the support needed to bring the bill to the floor. Be honest Senator.

"why would you save those? you're never going to do anything with them."

1.5 pound whole Maine lobster stuffed with jumbo lump crab imperial. Some have named this creation “CrabSter,” and we’re ok with that! 🦀 🦞

Liftoff!

It will be my honor. Historic deployment. Incredible Americans.

It was an honor having @RobertKennedyJr over to cook some real food today and talk national food policy (and seafood). Getting in the kitchen with a superhero only makes the food that much healthier. @LaurenGruel
