Agree. Still terribly irresponsible. The Russian population is hearing this.
So… Putin’s authorized Flack’s consider tac nuke strikes on Poland. They believe NATO nuclear retaliation is affordable. This is 90% sheer BS. The ignorance of an empty suit who doesn’t understand the possible near complete destruction of Russia. Irresponsible.
Brian Kilmeade apologized for his comments about homeless people getting lethal injections this morning on Fox & Friends, saying "so many homeless people deserve our empathy and compassion." Here's the clip of his apology 👇
Hard to imagine. On air. A policy of murder? The constraints have been erased. Walking away from American values.
In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.
Beautiful.
911 was a dreadful day of tragedy and loss…. and equal measure of courage and commitment. Law enforcement, intelligence, and the Armed Forces ( 60,000 KIA/WIA) struck at our enemies. Never forget.
The terrible murder of Charlie Kirk an indication of the intensifying political violence in America. Shameful.
No Congressional “authorization of the use of lethal military force” against international criminal Cartels. The US on the verge of military direct action against Venezuela forces. The leader has decided.
Trump apparently on the verge of political unilateral intervention in Chicago with massive Federal law enforcement and possibly military formations. No coordination with state authorities. The face of a rolling suppression of American values.
In 1900, nearly 1 in 5 children in America died before age five. Vaccines changed that. But Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s lies are fueling a public health catastrophe. People will get sick. People will die. Science saves lives—misinformation kills.
Agree. The key is to ensure the PLA understands these terrible risks. Plus… they must be made aware of the massive US military power that might join in defense of Taiwan.
The bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act is a necessary step to ban Members of Congress and their families from engaging in insider trading. It is time to pass this bill and make it clear to the American people that their elected officials put them first.
Speaking for us all:
Trump political stunt to rename DOD as Dept of War. Shallow belligerency. Simplistic. Another bizarre signal to the international community.
No.
China just conducted the largest military display in history. Impressive cutting edge technology. The old peasant PLA is gone. Trump has destroyed our Pacific and NATO alliances and trust. Policy by adolescent whim. Tariffs killing our friends.
Focus. 58 killed and wounded in a weekend.
I see.
Yes. I understand that Trump pending military deployment is a dangerous and ineffective political stunt. Call it that.
www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xirts... This massive level of shooting violence in Chicago and other cities is shocking and destabilizing. Stupid to argue that down = good.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Open planning to deny democratic elections. Some of it unlawful political warfare. Some of it like mail in ballots sheer stupidity.
Look to voters not Generals.
I have never witnessed such groveling and obsequious behavior in my life. Trump ass kissing is nauseating. An American version of Kim Jong Un.
Most don’t believe him. They are submissive. They have something to gain. He has overwhelmed our institutions.
Drunk with power. Ignorant. Narcissist. Abusive bully. Surrounded by strange, dangerous people.
Health workers at the CDC and other agencies have urged Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr to stop spreading false information and harming public health. In an open letter to Kennedy and Congress, they called his statements "dangerous and deceitful." doi.org/10.1136/bmj...
What Pritzker Said open.substack.com/pub/charlies... — Essentially we are on the verge of becoming a police state selectively directed and enforced by Trump. This is sliding into a lawless regime. A government of gangsters. Congress has surrendered their powers to constrain the Executive.
This speech will go down in history as one of the most incredible push backs of this administration. We agree wholeheartedly Governor Pritzker.
“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker
www.threads.com/@corybooker/... — Rubio. Talent. Experience. Unprincipled. Hypocrisy. Lust for power. Shameless.
x.com/rpsagainsttr... — Trump—- the terror power of the state.
Because they don't exist. Again.. tRump has not made a single trade deal. Not one. Any deal made between countries must be written, signed, THEN ratified by both countries. In the US, that's Congress. None of that has happened. There are No Deals in place. This is just theater.
www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec... — Chaos.
Diplomacy can only ratify battlefield realities. Trump openly supports Putin who has savaged Ukraine in aggressive war. He has publicly given Moscow the right to keep Ukraine land they hold. He has denied NATO future protection. Trump just wants a deal. Any deal.
Trump is a gift to Putin … a murderous gangster who has ruined Russia and savaged democratic Ukraine. Putin is an enemy of the free world. A threat to NATO. Trump is incoherent. Policy by whim. Values un- American.
apnews.com/live/donald-... — DC Crime down but still a serious concern to the Capital. National Guard not well suited to counter criminal activity. Surge of FBI/ATF agents poor use of investigators. Need to fill Court and prosecutor vacancies. Deal with youth crime.
‘Profound and Abiding Rage’: Canada’s Answer to America’s Abandonment www.nytimes.com/2025/08/10/o... —- Trump alienation of Canada with illegal threats of economic warfare or even military intervention are humiliating. Make no sense. Should be cause for removal from office.
www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec... —-New lows. The NKVD. The thought police. The ultimate politicization of the US Armed Forces.

The America We Knew Is Rapidly Slipping Away www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/o... — Powerful warning. We are slipping into straight out Trump unconstrained rule by decree. Stupid moves. Our institutions being destroyed. Policy by babble. By whim.

A perfect summation.
Trump. A humiliation.
When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
Half of this Oregon farmer’s cherry pickers is not showing up for work due fear of ICE detainment. 400 tons of bing cherries will not be picked. This is happening all across America. Our food supply will be severely impacted by the big bullshit bill that gives ICE $170 billion to detain migrants.
Trump is a darkly comical disaster. Lawless. Ignorant. A huge danger to our freedoms. Annex Canada by economic pressure or possible force? Seize Greenland with force? The Panama Canal? Turn Gaza into an American Club Med? Strip Americans of their citizenship? Congress must impeach.
If Russia attacks Poland… which is very unlikely… they will be destroyed by a European military response.
He would have been a fifth grader if he hadn’t been left back
wallstreetjournal-ny.newsmemory.com?publink=3d92... We are the definition of an irresponsible society.
Comical. Deranged.
Nauseating.
No question there should be a triad approval authority to launch nuclear weapons. Eg. President, Sec Def, Speaker of the House. No question that our SLBM nuclear deterrence is completely credible even after suffering an enemy preemptive attack. I would also support “No First Use.”
Attacks “Effectively Destroyed” Iran’s Program: The Institute for Science and International Security sizes up the results of the U.S. and Israeli strikes.— (Take this as the best analysis of the US and Israeli strike on Iran nuclear capacity. Huge impact. Not finished.)
Political debate over BDA on US strikes silly. Need INTELL. Weeks. Need weapons inspectors back on the ground. Damage without question substantial from US and IAF attacks. Key scientists and leadership killed. 900 lbs of 60% HEU surely moved to safety.
You think I have allegiance to Trump? We don’t know level of destruction yet. Probably substantial.
www.seattletimes.com/nation-world... A bold US strike on three Iranian nuclear sites. Huge impact. Essentially now we are at war with Iran. Next 72 hours crucial to see Iranian reaction. If US troops in the region struck it will unleash a powerful air and naval campaign.
No. Nuclear arms control can and has worked. We should never give up on opposing nuclear proliferation. Current lack of US leadership shameful.
Nukes have deterrent value. They have no defensive value. If I was a personal advisor to the Iranian leaders I would strongly advise them they will be less safe with a nuke capability. Both the Israelis and the US will target them. They need to accept the existence of Israel.
Yes. An industrial challenge. North Korea a primitive society got it done.
Good argument. Iran a theocratic regime. North Korea a criminal regime. The criminals are more predictable. It’s all about regime survival.
The world changes when the Iranians have ONE declared nuke weapon. At that point they are a target for an Israeli preemptive nuclear strike. (90 to 300 nuclear weapons.)
Iran building a nuclear weapon has become a nonsensical proxy for those supporting or opposing a US strike on the Fordow and Natanz nuclear sites. However they now have 900 lbs of 60% HEU. In 90 days to a year they WILL be a nuclear state.
Trump says “Iran must surrender”. That ‘we know where the Ayatollah is hiding and might yet kill him.’ That “We” control the skies over Teheran. Foreign policy by public whim.
Uncoordinated Iranian attack. All missiles: ballistic, cruise, drone should have hit targets in Israel together. Accompanied by fighters. With electronic warfare. One way special ops teams. Israeli decapitation of Iran military leadership paralyzed decision-making.
Iranian response to Israeli attack on nuclear facilities now underway. 200 drones launched. 9 hours time to target. Next wave cruise missiles 2 hours fight time. Final launch ballistic missiles 12 minutes to impact.
www.bloomberg.com/news/article... —- Goon behavior by Federal law enforcement to a US Senator. Very ashamed to see an FBI agent involved. Federal agencies acting outside the law. We are headed to authoritarian government. The Republicans in Congress have surrendered their power.
apnews.com/article/irs-... The Senate action to confirm this deeply unqualified and illegitimate Trump nominee is disgraceful. The IRS is on the verge of collapse. If Americans think the tax system is rigged there will be mass noncompliance.
Focus on Courts, Congress, voters. The Generals are not going to oppose an elected President unless a clear illegal order.
Trump address at Ft Bragg a shameful politicization of active military. Their oath of loyalty is to the Constitution not a political leader. We are sliding into lawless behavior by the Trump Administration. Vengeance. Violence. Expel 11million migrants? A disaster.
I agree. Incredible. Congress overwhelmed. Courts still upholding law. Media under attack. Trump a lawless regime.
The only real issue is whether Trump can expell 10+ million illegal migrants. He ran for office on this premise. He has considerable support for this objective. The execution of this policy will crash the economy. Agriculture. Construction. Service. We will look really bad.
Irresponsible. Very strange.
Two political factions eager for a confrontation. California leadership vs the Trump Administration. There is strong American support for closing the border and expelling illegal migrants. The execution of this policy will be abhorrent. Also an economic disaster awaits.
I agree. Blue sky headed to abusive foul language. Too bad. Killing a very useful forum.
Santa Clara University’s Crazy Idea of Human Sexuality by Naomi Epps Best — (We have lost our collective minds to allow strange, dangerous, abnormal ideology to dominate behavioral health care education. Bizarre.)
6 June …. 80 Years ago… our troops came ashore at Normandy. There was no inevitable defeat of the Nazi Regime or Imperial Japan. Individual soldiers, sailors, Marines, Coadt Guard. A million US casualties. Killed and wounded. Courage. Sacrifice.
⚡️The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) reported that the June 1 “Spider Web” drone operation caused approximately $7 billion in damages and disabled 34% of cruise missile carriers in key Russian airbases.
Devastating Ukrainian drone deep attacks on Russian strategic bombers. 41 aircraft knocked out on 4 airfields. Trucks with concealed drones drove deep into Russia. SPU executed 18 month plan. Brilliant.
Better than Trump in debates. I see.
I think not. A good guy. Very old. Compromised both physically and cognitive. In a position to allow a full Dem primary. Save us from Trump. Said he was the only one who could beat Trump. Utter nonsense. Nobody in their 80’s should think they could be effective as POTUS.
How can anyone take this idiot seriously? WTF? It is an insult to West Point to have this asshole standing their blathering on about nonsense. @brma64.bsky.social @waitmanwbeorn.com @warmatters.bsky.social @jennoliva.bsky.social @rtperson3.bsky.social @paulcormarie.bsky.social
40,901 traffic deaths with two dimension vehicle travel. Nobody should want flying cars. 😢
The Trump Golden Dome US wide defense against ballistic, cruise, hypersonic missiles and drones is aspirational. Will prompt weapons in space. Will incentivize a nuclear weapons race to overcome the defense. 20 year project. CBO says $500 billion.
More emerging details on the tragic mishap involving the Mexican Navy training ship in NYC. It looks as if a loss of power or a power stuck in reverse may be involved. Mexican Navy a first rate force. NYC authorities seem to have responded rapidly.
apnews.com/article/broo... —- terrible mishap. Loss of life … huge embarrassment for Mexican Navy. Looks like lost power. No tug? Normally very effective sea service.
I see.
I strongly feel a woman can win the Presidency. Must be the right candidate. Correct policies to capture the middle. Deep experience in government. Solid character to knock out lawless people like Trump.
Ok.
Agree. Biden needs to stay out of sight. He’s out there again.
Also true. 80 million no vote. We should have had a full Democrat primary a year out from the election.
Joe Biden a major reason we have this criminal buffoon Trump in office. The absolute GALL of Biden running for another term past 80.
San Fran liberal. Experienced. Attractive. Honest. A terrible candidate to win a general election. Only a few months left to deny her past record and create a new persona. When she signed a statement supporting gender change for convicts and illegals she was done.
