@shanaka86 If the Army Chief of Staff was asked to retire with this kind of resume….during the middle of a war…..it means he has a conscious and refused to violate it.

JUST IN: You do not fire your Army Chief of Staff in the middle of a war for no reason. You fire him because of what comes next. Pete Hegseth called General Randy George on April 2 and told him to retire immediately. The Pentagon confirmed it within hours. No reason was given. Not publicly. Not privately. A senior Army official told Fox News that Hegseth offered George nothing: no misconduct, no operational failure, no policy disagreement on the record. Just a phone call and a career ending in the middle of the most significant American combat operation in two decades. George is the 24th general or admiral Hegseth has removed. But he is not the 24th. He is the one that matters. The Army Chief of Staff. The man whose signature sits between a president’s intent and the order that sends soldiers across a beach or into a tunnel complex. The 82nd Airborne is deploying right now. Marines from the 31st MEU are staged on the USS Tripoli. JSOC operators are at forward bases in Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Kharg Island, 90 percent of Iranian oil exports, sits 16 kilometres off a coast that someone will have to decide whether to approach. And the four-star general whose job it was to advise whether that approach should happen was removed 48 hours after Trump told the nation the war would continue for two to three more weeks. The replacement is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve. He was Hegseth’s senior military aide before this appointment. The man who carried the Secretary’s briefcase now commands the Army the Secretary is reshaping. The chain of command did not break. It shortened. The distance between a television studio and a combat order just collapsed to zero intermediaries who were not personally selected by the man giving the order. No reason was given. That is the tell. When someone is removed without explanation during a crisis, the explanation is the crisis itself. George either objected to something or was about to. The ground option. The power plant strikes. The Kharg raid. The escalation that turned a highway bridge in Karaj into rubble on the same day he was told to leave. Something in the next two weeks requires a chief who will not push back, and the Pentagon solved that problem by installing one trained as Hegseth’s aide. A former Fox News weekend host just fired a four-star general with combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, replaced him with his own former assistant, and did it during a live war in which the next decision could put American soldiers on Iranian soil for the first time in history. No hearing was held. No misconduct cited. The Army woke up on April 3 with a new chief it did not choose, in a war it did not start, preparing for a phase the previous chief apparently could not be trusted to execute. The question is not why George was fired. Every general in the building knows why. The question is what order is coming in the next fourteen days that required removing the one man in the chain of command who might have said no. The war has no perimeter. The chain of command has no objectors. And the next phase has no one left to stop it. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Trump just threatened a war crime on national TV. Every Senator and member of Congress who refuses to stop him is complicit.

There's going to be some fans that are "Vanderbilt still whining" ...I'm taking it as the Nebraska fan base is elite.

Vandy deserved better than a 5-seed. ⚓️ Coach Byington notes that even the analytics suggest @VandyMBB earned a higher seed, though the slight didn't change the team's preparation. However, nothing could prepare them for the atmosphere against Nebraska—it was so intense that Coach Byington kept receiving noise alerts on his phone. "That was the loudest environment I’ve ever coached in." Full interview: youtu.be/YziXRkZFs0w @TheChadWithrow @HuttonOutkick

He is the 1st President of the United States in history to sit in the Supreme Court of the United States to watch his Solicitor General, who used to be his criminal defense appeals lawyer, deliver the stupidest Supreme Court argument of the 21st century. He knows he lost.

Pryce Sandfort had one of the most prolific shooting campaigns in Nebraska basketball history. Most impressive of all? He did it while playing through a sports hernia injury for the final month of the season. 🌽🏀 🔗: on3.com/teams/nebraska…

Ok, Jamie: Let me clear things up for you. If my 5% wealth tax on billionaires was enacted you’d owe $135 million more in taxes & a family of 4 making $150,000 or less would receive a $12,000 payment. Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion. Seems pretty fair to me.

Kilmeade: What do you say to people like Bernie Sanders who says billionaires don't pay their fair share? Dimon: I don't know what he means by fair share
