Rep. Anna Paulina Luna
It is unacceptable for Swalwell to end his campaign for Governor yet remain in Congress. Eric, either resign now or I will call a vote for expulsion. This type of behavior has no place in the U.S. Capitol.

Everyone loves to hate on the Air Force until their 600 miles behind enemy lines and need someone to come pick their ass up.

Amidst all of the high fives over the stunning success of the pilot rescue operation, somewhere in MacDill AFB in CENTCOM HQ there is an Army or Air Force major whose job it was to do the terrain and soil analysis for the ad hoc airfield to ensure aircraft would not get stuck in mud. I'm guessing he feels like that Signals major in "A Bridge Too Far" who put the wrong crystals in the radios. Poor guy.

I love that Japan has figured out that they can summon Americans like a youkai by chanting the invocation and whatever tiresome Communist they're facing will find their replies flooded by eagles and flags

Brigitte Macron, while at the White House, says the First Amendment needs to be restricted and limited because too many young children are suffering. She says she can read signals from these young children. “I think that liberty does have some rules. We have to be free, but adapt to certain codes.”

@JackMurphyRGR I think it's more likely someone at the port saw the movement and reported it to Iran...

I'm told that the IC has assessed that the reservists killed in Kuwait a few weeks ago were targeted using adtech, and that the Iranians used it to trace their movements to the port. nbcnews.com/news/military/…

Barksdale Air Force Base - It's Worse Than You Think Monday, 03/09/2026 - Friday, 03/13/2026 A swarm of 12-15 drones penetrated BAFB for 5 consecutive days (4 hours loitering). They halted flight operations, and in one occasion, forced a shelter-in-place order. SIGNIFICANCE BAFB is the launchpad for B-52's that are and were flying combat operations over Iran. BAFB has jamming equipment that was unsuccessful in stopping the drone swarms. The 4-hour loiter time, coupled with the drone swarms ability to resist jamming attempts, is beyond troubling. Additionally, the drones were equipped with lights. Of note, no reports of drones flying over Shreveport were noted. This suggests the drones approached from the remote areas to the southeast of BAFB and turned their lights on once over BAFB. ANALYSIS It is unknown if the drones were fixed-wing or quadcopter. Given the 5 days of repeated intrusions, there is a higher probability that these drones were launched from a remote area. Operators would need to alternate between multiple launch and landing points to avoid detection. A fixed-wing style drone with a hybrid motor operating on liquid fuel and battery is a likely contender. This would place the wing span at about 4-5 meters, advanced cameras for guidance and terrain analysis, and a total 6-hour flight time. That would easily drive the cost of each drone above $60,000 USD each. On the low end, the drones would cost $900,000 in total and could push upwards of $1.5 million. That is not just a couple of kids playing around, that is a sophisticated operation. State actors or well funded terror networks become likely culprits. The drones would require about 50 meters of runway space, something that the remote areas of LA offer in abundance. They would also need a storage location, vehicles to move the drones, and plenty of operators. This suggests an intact, well-funded, and well-trained hostile network near one of America's most strategic Air Force Bases. There is a reason the military and our government have been silent, except for confirmation of the reports.

There is a huge difference between a fake IED and a Dud. Walter has now decided to cop an attitude because he was LUCKY and the IED was a dud. I have never wanted to strap a dude to the outside passenger door of my HMMWV and go up and down Route Irish but here we are. We can check his cortisol levels after the first EFP goes off.....

Stop DM’ing me this like it’s some “Hegseth is racist” bombshell. I’ve never been in the military, but my Dad did a boat in the Navy and even I know that no salute zones exist. Between this and y’all confusing his tattoos with so called white supremacy insignias… I’m spending too much time looking like I’m defending dude when it’s just yall being too lazy to ask before rushing to racism. I swear to god yall run shit in the ground WHILE having access to ALL the information in the palm of your hands.

Note: He wasn't saluting them.....he isn't required to. He was RETURNING THEIR SALUTES. In other words, the black man, being a NAVY member, didn't salute as he was NOT WEARING A COVER, so no return salute was required.
Mike Sington@MikeSington

Watch closely. As Pete Hegseth deplanes, he’s greeted by a group of soldiers. Hegseth salutes each one of them, except for the Black man. Seems very on brand for this administration.

Gen X people are just trying to survive like everyone else. Trust me when I say that being raised by boomers was no fun, all the jokes about being locked out of the house are 100% true. We were simultaneously told to follow the formula for success while given almost no support to do so. Now that I have a family and kids, my boomer parents are no where to be found. They'll criticize from a distance, while not actually helping. I see this over and over. So we just say fuck it and carry on. Gen X has a lot of hustlers and we've figured out how to get shit done because we know there's no safety net. We don't complain because we know that no one is listening. Biggest difference between X and younger is that we remember the world without technology and when anonymity was possible. No one was flashing success in our faces constantly, it was just something from 80's movies with some douche in a BMW or Ferrari. This whole "we got sold out" thing falls on deaf ears. You were never getting anything and neither were we. You just haven't realized it yet.
