Trump got the ball rolling by calling out NATO in his first term for not honoring their spending commitments -- and the was 100% right.
He's been right about NATO from the start -- it is not worth the effort and treasure on a "risk/return" basis. We asked to see a return re Iran and the Western NATO countries said "NO."
Are their feelings hurt because he's said mean things to them.
Who cares?

I agree with some of this directionally, but my God the refusal to acknowledge that Trump has worked assiduously to poison the alliance and heap all the blame on Europe is just water-carrying hackery. Saying "NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause" is like writing a movie review when you missed the first half of the movie.

The biggest issue right now is any act by the NCAA to set rules is challenged as an antitrust violation — which is why Congress needs to pass a bill giving an antitrust exemption for rules — but it’s stronger legal ground for NCAA to cite presidential authority than its own.

President Trump’s executive order on college sports is below. Three key provisions: 1. Five years of total eligibility 2. Only “one” free transfer without sitting. 3. No players can return from pros. Goes into effect on 8/1. Common sense & solid: whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

“If people really are arguing that the price of winning is becoming like a bigoted misogynist like Hasan Piker, then I’ll take not winning,” Jonathan Cowan told @Lauren_V_Egan.
This seems like a bad message to me given the state of things.

@michaelbd @conor64 I often disagree with you, but not here. We have become wholly unreliable as an ally.
English
Often disagree with Mr Baker but not here.
Europe committed to spend more on defense. Europe lowered its tariffs on American goods while we raised ours on theirs. We led on Ukraine then tossed it entirely to Europe on condition they buy our weapons rather than build their own defense industry.
Now, our war means almost overnight different Europeans face 40-400 percent energy inflation.

Seriously Cliff? What happened to you? Military commitment to an alliance can obtain only in an atmosphere of trust . Do you think the non-US members of NATO have that sort of trust right now in the ally that says it wants to annex Canada and threatens to invade Greenland?

@dannarebb That’s understandable, and there is certainly a good chance she’ll be right. Insurance defense attorneys are more likely to be harsh with people who don’t have well documented injuries. Ganging up on someone who needed 4 surgeries can make them them look bad.
English
@twobru She’s been pretty concerned about the defense being “mean” and really interrogating her for months now, so I’m more thinking she wants practice for if that is the case. Her injuries are very well documented (she needed four surgeries), so I’m hoping they’re not too hard on her!

my MIL wants me to come over next week and pretend to be the opposing teams lawyer and really hammer her with questions/be kind of mean to prepare for her deposition. if any law friends have good questions I could ask or if anybody has been through an injury deposition before,

@smod4real We didn't watch the disaster at my school. But Mrs. Seidel confirmed the rumors while we were in library that day. We did watch the memorial service.

@dannarebb 2nd, she needs to be comfortable with saying "I don't know" if she doesn't know the answer to the question. She does not want to wonder off into the land of speculation, especially has it relates to medical issues on which she may have no training.
English
@dannarebb So your mom needs to make sure to only answer the question that has been asked. One way to remind her of that is ask her something like, "do you know what color my shirt is?" The reflexive answer is to say, it's blue or white. The correct answer is just yes.

You go to college for one of two reasons: to learn a vocation or to learn about philosophy. Only one of those leads to a job

“I spent $250,000 on a philosophy degree and I can’t find ANY work.” Years in class. Six figures in debt. ZERO payoff. She didn’t fail the system — the system sold her a LIE.

@SixHealthOfFury @erichhartmann The illegal status belongs to the mother, not the child, and the 14th Amendment makes no reference to parents. Moreover, a person in the US illegally is still subject to its jurisdiction. If not, then the person couldn’t be arrested for committing a crime here.
English
@erichhartmann The word "and" is a continuation of thought. When alleged college graduates recite the constitution, they forget the AND in most sentences. It's born in the U.S. AND subject to it's jurisdiction. You can be born here AND fail to be subject to jurisdiction. Illegals aren't subject

Once again, they are lying to the American public on purpose: there is no "Birthright Citizenship" in our Constitution. There just isn't. Shame on you CBS.

@charlescwcooke My wife, who graduated 3rd in her class at ND Law School in 2002, says ACB is the smartest person she’s ever met. So I’m pretty sure ACB has more than 40 IQ points on Webbon.

ACB has about 40 IQ points on Joel Webbon.
Joel Webbon@JoelWebbon
The compassion of this woman is well suited for the vocation of motherhood. But this is not who you want determining whether birthright citizenship should be legal. A woman as a mother is a precious gift, but a woman as a civil magistrate is the death of the nation.

And the First Amendment doesn’t apply to the internet and the Second Amendment doesn’t cover the AR-15. After all, the Framers never conceived of these things.

@emzanotti I learned about Challenger while in library from Mrs. Seidel, one of my 8th grade teachers.
English
I remember Columbia, not Challenger, but I think this is wrong. Teachers competed for Christa McAuliffe’s spot. There was a full court press on incorporating Challenger into elementary education. It wasn’t typical to watch a shuttle liftoff, but Challenger’s was intentionally broadcast to schools.
Dave W Plummer@davepl1968
99.9% of people who "experienced" the Challenger disaster saw it on replay and now remember it as live. Almost NO ONE was watching. Everyone thinks they were. It's a fascinating collective false memory.
