@TheEXECUTlONER_ @JakeCan72 Yes IMO it’s not a 1:1 transaction it’s a long time emotional tie to earlier, easier times - literally the thought that counts It’s kinda like your funeral - will they go or just say “oh we just saw him last week” we’re good.

My kids are 17 & 25, I did not make them an Easter basket this year. But now this grandma has me feeling guilty. 😳 She said "just do a little bit, WITH a card full of money" 🤣 Grandma's got their backs! ❤️ I figured we would go to Church & then a nice brunch followed by Easter dinner later. Do y’all make your grown children Easter baskets? 🤔

@Mr_Husky1 Block, Run and don’t look back.

I’m about to get married, and my fiancé knows I have an inheritance that was left to me by my grandparents. It’s in my name only, and I’ve been saving it for years. Now he’s saying that before we get married, I should put the entire inheritance into a joint account so we can “start fresh together,” or he doesn’t think we should go through with the wedding. I’m 36 already and this is something my family worked hard to leave me. I’m torn between wanting to build a life together and feeling like I’m being pressured to give up something important to me. What do you think I should do? By isitmeaitah

5 psychological traits of genuinely good people .. How many of these describe you ?

@DataRepublican @johnkonrad Bless you DR! @CynicalPublius didn’t deserve this. TY for a swift, thoughtful and accurate response. Bless CP and his family such an unnecessary pressure on his life.

Hello Brad Duplessis, You pre-emptively blocked me here on 𝕏, so I am forced to make this "Hello" a standalone post. You are a retired Army infantry officer. You served in Iraq and Afghanistan. You graduated from the National War College in 2018. You are now an Assistant Professor at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Belvoir, Virginia. Thank you for your service. But reputations are not defined by resumes. They are defined by choices. Today, you chose to doxx @CynicalPublius. Today, you published your debut article on War on the Rocks. You published his legal name. His profession. His pseudonym. All in one sentence. Indexed, archived, permanently searchable. You have changed the course of his life forever, and revealed him to the leftist ghouls who will demand his blood for forever. It doesn't matter if he was planning to reveal his identity eventually. You still made that choice. And I will make sure you are remembered for this. So, what was CP's sin such that you saw it fit to throw him to the wolves? Last month, he dared to write an article for American Greatness, centered around nine recommendations for War College reform. The recommendations included firing most civilian faculty and ending permanent military faculty positions. You hold a permanent civilian faculty position at a War College. You did not mention this in your article. In short, you named him, exposed his life to danger, because you really are arguing for your job and self-preservation. Know what is the most disgusting, hypocritical part of this is? In the Fall 2017 issue of eARMOR (the U.S. Army Armor Branch professional journal) you published an article. You titled it "Our Readiness Problem: Brigade Combat Team Lethality." You opened with General Milley: "Our fundamental task is like no other — it is to win in the unforgiving crucible of ground combat." Your thesis: "If we are to get after GEN Milley's No. 1 priority, we must first address brigade combat team (BCT) lethality." The word "lethality" appears in your article about fifty times. You meant it as a compliment. Now contrast to today's piece. You wrote this: "In staking out this Huntingtonian position, the cult of lethality does a disservice to service members and the American people." The same word. Nine years apart. You were a field commander then, and lethality was the mission. You are a faculty member now, and lethality is what your critics embarrassingly worship. Frankly - and you will never realize this - but you yourself are the living, walking example of the thesis which @PeteHegseth is proving. Also, you named a section of today's article after Colin Powell. You called him your model of what War College education produces. Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama in 2008, endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, and publicly called Donald Trump "dangerous for our democracy." Powell, who infamously tipped the scales at the UN to start the Iraq war even after privately doubting the WMD intelligence, is your hero in an article about who gets to reform the military in 2026. In addition to being a doxxer, you look a lot less like someone who's defending institutions, and a lot more like someone who exemplifies institutional capture in the name of self-preservation. And you disclosed none of it. Let me reiterate. @CynicalPublius wrote under a pseudonym and identified himself as a retired Army colonel with Afghanistan and Iraq experience. He argued about curriculum policy. You responded by putting his name on the internet. Your career depends on the institutions you are defending. Your article defending those institutions is the same article that ended his anonymity. You taught your students about the instruments of national power, Professor Duplessis. You are now a living, breathing demonstration one of them. And why reform must happen.

@DataRepublican @RadioFreeTom My favorite word to see when I open X? “Hello” from DR

Hello Professor Nichols, You spent twenty-five years at the Naval War College. You taught the officers who would go on to run America's wars. Famously, you never served in any of them. In February 2003, you were at your desk in Newport when you wrote this, about Colin Powell’s presentation to the United Nations: “There is only one thing to say about Secretary Powell’s presentation at the U.N.: If this doesn’t do it, nothing will.” You were confident. You were expert. You were wrong. You acknowledged this twenty years later in The Atlantic — the invasion was, in your own words, “one of the greatest geopolitical disasters in American history.” You wrote that from the same institution you are now defending. The Senior Service Colleges produced the officers who managed the Afghanistan withdrawal. General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. General Kenneth McKenzie, CENTCOM commander. On September 28, 2021, both testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee that they had recommended keeping 2,500 troops in Afghanistan. The recommendation was not followed. They did not resign or say a word publicly. Then 13 American service members died at Abbey Gate on August 26, 2021. Only after that did they testify. Your response, in The Atlantic, August 16, 2021: “Afghanistan Is Your Fault.” Not the generals your institutions trained and credentialed. Not the curriculum that built the career-preserving, NSC-deferring officer class that drove those decisions to their conclusion. The American public, with our short attention span and our SUVs. General Milley, whose career your institution shaped, secretly called his PLA counterpart twice, October 30, 2020 and January 8, 2021, and assured him the US would not strike China, and that Milley would warn him personally if an attack were ordered. You wrote “Trump Put Milley in an Impossible Position.” That's not all. Secretary Austin concealed a cancer diagnosis from the White House and Congress for weeks while incapacitated; the DoD Inspector General documented it. At his farewell address in September 2023, Milley publicly called his former commander-in-chief a “wannabe dictator.” You found none of this worth a column. Anthony Tata is a retired Brigadier General. He commanded forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. He led soldiers in both wars. And now he has been asked to conduct a 90-day curriculum review of the Senior Service Colleges. Your objection is that he lacks the credentials for the job. You wrote a whole book about credentials. The foundational knowledge of the average American is, in your assessment, “plummeting to aggressively wrong.” Institutions must be insulated from the ignorant. Expertise must not be questioned by those who haven’t earned it. The men who earned your institution’s credentials - over twenty-plus years of your tenure - presided over two of the longest military failures in American history. They managed those failures in line with everything the War Colleges taught them: subordinate military judgment to civilian direction, preserve the relationship, testify about it later. They retired with honors. That is what "expertise" means to you. The question Pete Hegseth is asking isn't whether the War Colleges have credentials. It's whether the credentials mean anything. After twenty-five years on your faculty training generals who only know how to lose war, Professor Nichols, you are the wrong man to answer that.

PS: The guy who's been tapped to lead this 90 day nonsense is Anthony Tata, whose bonkers conspiracy ideas (Obama is a Muslim, Brennan's a commie, etc) were so extreme that the Senate rejected him for a senior job during Trump 45. This time, the GOP caved, and here we are.

🚨 BREAKING: Anthropic CEO just did a complete 180 in live interview Do you regret saying ‘dictator-style praise’ about President Trump? Anthropic CEO: >“I want to completely apologize for this memo” >“it was among the most disorienting times in Anthropic’s history” >“i wouldn’t describe it as a memo” >reframes 1,600 words sent to 2,000+ employees as a casual slack post >“it’s not a considered or refined version of my thinking” So, will you apologize to President Trump? >“i’ve apologized to the people within the DoW” >“happy to speak to anyone” absolute cinema

Eleven years ago Sen. Rubio warned USA & wanted to make sure it was written in history. It’s a good dang thing he’s in the place he is today & we don’t have some knucklehead trying to run the show. Operation Epic Fury couldn’t have had a better Sec. State!

The 118-year cycle closed this morning. It began in 1908 when William Knox D'Arcy struck oil in southwest Persia. Exclusive extraction rights. Sixteen percent royalty—no Iranian permitted to audit the books. Anglo-Persian Oil Company born. Churchill called it "a prize from fairy land beyond our wildest dreams." The British government took 51% controlling stake in 1914. The Royal Navy ran on it. Britain's 20th century standard of living was subsidized by Iranian wealth while Iranian workers lived without running water. When Mossadegh nationalized in 1951, the system corrected. Operation Ajax installed the Shah. The MB —now designated T3rr0r1st organization—provided the street chaos then as they have in every managed conflict since. When the Shah outlived his utility, the Ayatollahs inherited the franchise. Same architecture. Different management. The mechanism has been consistent: City of London sets global oil prices, insures shipments, banks sovereign wealth, launders for the chaos mafias. Managed conflict between Israel and Arab states, Sunni and Shia, keeps the extraction flowing. The wars were never independent events. They were maintenance payments on the architecture. Until today. Trump secured $2 trillion in Gulf sovereign wealth investments—capital that sat in City of London banks now committed to American manufacturing, energy, and AI infrastructure. The Board of Peace. Sisi at the table. Qatar and Turkey involved despite Netanyahu's objections. This isn't bilateral. It's architectural. Treasury Secretary Bessent stated plainly in January: 50% of his job is national security. The war was always financial. The kinetic phase settles the account. The strikes hit precisely—IRGC command, Supreme Leader—not facilities, not population, not the state apparatus. This preserves the Geneva framework that was already authorized. Leaves the structure intact for the pragmatist pivot. JD Vance told the Washington Post Friday: "There is no chance this becomes a forever war." Absolute. Not hedging. Marine veteran who built his career opposing forever wars. The Venezuela template: remove the obstacle, preserve the institution, deal with the remaining government immediately. "Take over your government. It will be yours to take." - @POTUS Not regime change. Not occupation. Removing the final veto player who blocked both the old extraction system and the new construction system. The Barrack-Maliki formation unpauses now. The GCC absorbed missiles without breaking stride because they were already on the other side of this transition. The Strait of Hormuz threat evaporates when the actor threatening it is removed. The $2T flows. The reconstruction begins. They'll call it Iraq 2003. They'll scream regime change. They'll never mention 1908 because that story requires admitting who built the house that just got foreclosed. The reset isn't coming. The reset happened while they were watching the explosions. Historical times. Credit to @BarbaraMBoyd via @PrometheanActn for insights and how this ties into what we, specifically are monitoring on this account.

@ThrillaRilla369 Have done and will always… can’t imagine a finer tribute PS if you don’t - later on you might wish you had

Would you stay in the room and hold your dog at the vet during their final breath? 🐕

@alvinfoo @sunchartist Appreciate the post and the comments. I’m not sure $ amount of tips is indicative. Who carries cash or change anymore?

A violinist played for 45 minutes in the Washington D.C. subway. Of the 1,097 people who passed by, seven stopped to listen to him, and one recognized him. He collected $32.17 in tips from 27 passersby (excluding $20 from the one who recognized him). Only one person knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. In that subway, Joshua played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars. Two days before he played in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out a Boston theatre, and the seats averaged about $100. The experiment proved that the extraordinary in an ordinary environment does not shine and is so often overlooked and undervalued. There are brilliantly talented people everywhere who aren’t receiving the recognition and reward they deserve. But once they arm themselves with value and confidence and remove themselves from an environment that isn’t serving them, they thrive and grow. Your gut is telling you something. Listen to it if it’s telling you where you are isn’t enough! Go where you are appreciated and valued. Know Your Worth. Credit : @foundconsciousness via IG

@1Val_erie @Ames2420 I remember it at Euclid Beach in Cleveland - I loved it !

@Ames2420 Yep, I remember this...spin & gravity ride at Conneaut Lake Park, Ohio. I rode it 1x and never again! Didn't the floor drop down, too? Or was that another ride?

Does anyone remember this fair ride or what it's called? There were no straps... it would spin so fast that it would pin you against the wall. People would vomit. It was fun. 🤣
