"Has Pam given" asswipe.
Twelve years with the Air Force, four years on active duty and the rest in the reserve and Air National Guard, and she only achieved the pay grade of E-4. That is pathetic. That tells me she was hanging on for a paycheck.
No, submit the report to a panel of English/ Language Arts teachers. Have them grade it and then question the writer about the text in question.
Thank you!
Picked these up during Yam Tits' first go-round.

I Can See for Miles, by The Who.
Former platoon leader and company commander in two infantry divisions here. Hegstheth thinks that leading at that level qualifies him to lead the largest, most lethal and diverse military in the world. Doing push-ups and pull-ups with the troops is not enough.
MAGA... where uncommon ignorance is a common virtue.
Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.
Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
Notification about the Kennedy Center Honors:
Pam Bondi should be reminded that there is a precedent for an AG to go to prison.
Amen. Praise be.
Too much wanking? Choking the chicken?
The University of Georgia must be so proud.
I've been listening to Barry McGuire's "Eve of Destruction" quite a bit lately, for no particular reason.
I'm waiting for the day Trump sends ICE to New Mexico to try to deport over 50% of the population.
Good one, centurion.
ICE crossed a line in LA
IGNORANT AND SCAMMERS LIKE THEIR FATHER!!
Gives me Soylent Green vibes.
I thought the conservatives thought women should be submissive, but it turns out the men are. Have you seen their Trump regalia? Their bootlicking? The way they simp for their orange god? Total and complete submission.
It would really be great if, when journalists are interviewing Stephen Miller, who goes off a tirade on courts curbing executive power, could ask, What article of the Constitituon grants the power to: 1. Control immigration 2. Regulate international commerce 3. Suspend habeas
So says someone who went to a tiny, churchy college where she majored in Jesus, got knocked up by her rich grandpa and married him. And now she "works" in the White House.
Says the person who majored in Jesus.
When I was in the Navy (50 years ago), to deep six something meant to get rid of or throw it out.
Accidents on aircraft carriers happen all the time. It's a dangerous place. I witnessed many over 50 years ago. The difference today is the internet and social media. Back then, the accidents went largely unnoticed. But I hate the fool SecDef.
Johnny Cash wrote a song about Ira Hayes. Maybe the Man In Black will be the next to be erased.
The phrase is ambiguous. It cuts both ways.
🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!
Will someone please tell Tommy Brady that there are other words in the English language to describe NFL players other than "stud."
In describing our new Secretary of Defense, Shakespeare says it best: "Now does he feel his title/ Hang loose about him, like a giant's robe/ Upon a dwarfish thief."
There is no common ground!
I have no faith whatsoever in the American judicial system. I am 71 years old. Veteran of 2 branches of the military. This is not the country I grew up in and lived in for my adult life. MAGA and Trump sicken me.
After some digging, I found the six-year-old video of Senator Fischer being sworn in by Mike Pence, with her husband by her side. As expected, he gleefully shook Pence’s hand twice and thanked him for his leadership. His refusal to shake VP Harris’s hand today confirms my suspicions of bigotry.
BREAKING: Over 15,000 doctors sign an open letter urging the Senate to reject Trump's nominee RFK Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services. They call it "an affront to the principles of public health" and the "tireless dedication of medical professionals." Share if you oppose RFK Jr!
"The Rule of Law" and "Checks and Balances." Fairy tales for adults.
I have no credibility to critique singers. I was so terrible singing, that in the 4th grade, in preparation for the Xmas performance, our music teacher would send me out of the classroom into the hall to be the "echo."
Let's start with cognitive tests for the electorate.
Guess who wants this photo banned from the internet? Please like and repost! 😉😘
Johnny Cash couldn't sing either. There is a term for vocalists like him. I think it is "stylist." I'm probably wrong, but I'm a big fan of both for their music and what they stood for.
Or Adele.
In Twain's day, it was banned because Huck was not a proper role model for good, Christian children. Today, it is often challenged for the use of the "N" word 100+ times. It has been challenged for other reasons along the way.
Huck Finn has been challenged from the very beginning. When Twain's local library banned it, he thought it amusing that they would ban Huck while leaving an "unexpurgated" Bible lying about.
Ernest Hemingway said "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn."
George C. Scott for me.
Mad men…
Indeed…
I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget
Thank you for the Thoreau quote. Buried my mother today, aged 96 years. My favorite: "Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains."
Oh, hell no.
"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." I'll just leave this favorite quote of mine from "Hamlet" lying here for folks to ponder.
I watched the first "Rocky" when it premiered. A familiar underdog story told very well. I had no interest in seeing any of the sequels.
Grew up in the '60s. Now, thanks to YouTube, I get to do this every day. 50+ years ago, you either bought the record, waited to hear it on the radio, or hoped like hell it would be performed on the Ed Sullivan Show.
