No, I mean it really is time to saddle-up... www.youtube.com/channel/UCYx...
Time to saddle-up...
Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next
Given that he was actually the RNC Chair, I totally get that wistful thing, but also what is clearly his deep sense of betrayal...
So, Trump is going to task expensive military resources and shut down the Washington, D.C. TCA for a perverse psychological warfare operation directed against Americans...
Take your pick... The "Gulf of Pretext" incident. The "Gulf of Distraction" incident. The "Gulf of Epstein" incident. The "Gulf of Bullshit" incident. The "Gulf of Horseshit" incident. The "Gulf of Shit" incident. The "Shit" incident. ...with invocation of a state of emergency soon to follow.
"A Clear and Present Danger"?
Beyond disappointing...wrong guy at the wrong time. To Hell with seniority...bring on AOC or Jazzy Crockett!
Thinking that he should (and very well might) face a primary challenge...
Even from just a logistical standpoint, these deployments do not seem sustainable...
A downward trend in gun violence actually is good, but near-zero or zero gun violence would be much better...
*Japanese Empire* *Empire of Japan*
I'm sorry Tom, but this guy positively reeks of Bond... www.imdb.com/name/nm20745...
But do they have a huge granite mountain under which one can bury a complex missile and satellite tracking infrastructure? Even If SPACECOM is moved to Redstone Arsenal, the move process is likely to negatively impact readiness.
Strangely, they do have NASA-Huntsville...
The "Epstein Files" are actually a very shiny object distraction compared to this.
Sounds like an act of sabotage to this Cold War Kid...
This one started sullied...
I might add former RNC Chair Michael Steele to that, although I would agree that Stevens speaks his mind somewhat more forcefully.
Again Tom, entirely your fault... www.slapkirk.com
WWII ended 80 years ago today, as Japan surrendered on the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay.
1965-1985 Bond is Old Empire. It's 2025. ...and "cringy" for whom? Pretty sure Mr. Elba wouldn't think it "cringy". Oh wait...was making DBE Judi Dench the new "M" "cringy" too?
It would be too clever. Asking a Black man to play Bond would be cringy. Bond is the old Empire, an aspirer to the clubs and the elite of the 1950s that he idolizes.
Can't believe how much I'm agreeing with this comrade here
Michelle should come and punch Mr. Bartlett's lights out...
This guy absolutely wreaks Bond...

Utter nonsense. It's 2025...not 1965. The UK has already had an real non-white PM. There is no reason why it's favorite fictional secret agent need be played by "a cis white dude". Ahh...the smell of fear.
Roger Moore is "The Saint"...full-stop.
"Thunderball" is my favorite bond film. It was the first one that I saw on the "big screen" when it was released. Emilio Largo will always be my favorite villain... ...stealing nukes...pool of sharks. Much later in life, while stationed in the UK, I actually got to see one of these up-close...
Well then, so be it... 1. Sean Connery IS James Bond. 2. Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig are certified Bond shaman. 3. I'm 68. Roger Moore is "The Saint"...full-stop. When I was a kid, my Dad started buying Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones records because...
Also, the "blueprint" for terror-bombing was developed by the Luftwaffe (read: Nazis) during the Spanish Civil War. ...Guernica.
So how then, would you propose that British Bomber Command and the U.S. 8th, 12th, and 20th Air Forces could have conducted their operations in a less "evil(?)" and "genocidal(?)" way, and still push the Nazis and Japanese Empire towards unconditional surrender?

Yo...for real?
Tactical-cos-playing Concentration Camp Barbie... Whether it's in 2026, 2028, or 2030, we should "primary" every Democratic senator who voted to confirm this abomination.
I actually had no idea that "Zero Hour!" existed... ...looks like perfect fodder for parody.
It was gritty... www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Kyv...
Sorry, not Sam Groom...Frank Converse.
Yes, you were right...found it! www.imdb.com/title/tt0051...
Actually, no...you were right. www.imdb.com/title/tt0051...
I thought that they turned "Airport" into "Airplane!"... www.imdb.com/title/tt0065...
Yikes!!!
Took this at Open House, RAF Mildenhall, Spring of 1982...
Sam Groom, Robert Hooks, and Jack Warden?
Yes, originally saw it on Masterpiece PBS, then bought it on DVD 5(?) years ago...
Almost to good to be true... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq-8...
When "Combat!" and "12 O'Clock High" went off the air in 1967 (when I was 10), "Star Trek" gained my undivided attention...
Forgot about the salt vampire... ...she seemed like such a nice lady.

At least he didn't have a grizzly bear with him...
Americans are begging for Democratic leadership to get off the mat and back into the fight. If you’re a political leader in this country and are not prepared to fight with both hands, not prepared to make “good trouble”, then perhaps you should step aside and make space for those who will. #Velshi.

Trump and the GOP are hellbent on killing our kids. Whether it’s no gun control or defunding pediatric brain cancer research/trials. Our kids deserve better than Trump and his feckless Republicans.
JD Vance on Donald Trump: “I’m a Never Trump guy. I never liked him. I don’t think he’s the person. I don’t think he cares about folks. I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place.” { ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social }
JD Vance: “Trump is a really bad candidate and frankly, I think, a really bad person.” { ht: @patriottakes.bsky.social }
WW2 correspondent for "Stars & Stripes", Bronze Star, Air Medal... Many of us of a certain age are familiar with Andy Rooney's crotchety on-screen persona, but it was his incisive and insightful writing that earned him his train-load of journalistic honors.

That said, I do understand that, to the extent that "The Epstein Files" seem to be "that thing" which Donald Trump fears the most, their political importance is significantly enhanced. ...but they're still the most salacious of shiny objects.
The "Epstein Files" are mostly a very shiny object distraction from much more important issues... Cultivation of an Amerikan fascist state Sabotage of U.S./global security (NATO, etc.) Undermining the global economy Facilitating regional famine (Sudan, Gaza) Russian aggression (Ukraine)
My best wishes to the cast & crew for the first preview tonight at The Garrick. Go out and do do that voodoo that you do so well! @theproducerslondon.bsky.social @nimaxtheatres.bsky.social
I recently spoke with our inaugural MBK Alliance Ambassadors – a group of talented, inspiring young leaders from across the country who are working to give back to their communities. I’m looking forward to following their progress and having them back as alumni to share what they’ve learned.
Now Republicans are trying something different: quietly weakening the law and hoping you won’t notice. We can’t let them. It’s up to all of us to vote for leaders in every election who will make our healthcare system better, not undermine it. Call your member of Congress and hold them accountable.
Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
Q: Can anyone actually be an "objective" expert on all things Stalin?
The SA were officially sanctioned Party thugs. This sounds much worse; a lot closer to the early SS.
It's high time for us to consider that we Americans owe our Constitution and democratic heritage far more than our fortunes and sacred honor.
My fear is that the time may be approaching when we will be called upon to "ante up and kick in"...for real...again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6l2...
"...And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
I think that Mr. Conway is referring to what preceded our fortunes and our sacred honor in that statement from the Declaration... ...our lives.
It's possible ... hear me out, here …. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
and don't forget this from a few months back:
It's still unbelievable how so many people were either just too stupid, blind, or in complete denial of how much good Biden did for this country to pull us out of the pandemic that they would choose this shitshow criminal liar of a POTUS and his completely inept administration.
As @mehdirhasan.bsky.social put it: "They lie as we breath..." Also, I'm certain that Trump has been a plagiarist since nursery school...
Aspiring to be Goebbels and Himmler simultaneously... www.splcenter.org/resources/ex...
We were warned by Washington, Lincoln and others. Now we must oppose this authoritarian regime, firmly voice our commitment to the Constitution and rule of law—and assert what it means to be American. www.americaamerica.news/p/its-villai...
The Trump administration called for a review of all exhibitions at the Smithsonian’s museums this month. Some other museums across the U.S. have already changed their programming significantly, as they try to steer clear of potential hot-button topics including gender, sexuality and race.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Trump whitewashing slavery is the ultimate act of white privilege from a nepo baby who is the apotheosis of white privilege,” our columnist Maureen Dowd writes.
