I don't meet any of the current FDA guidelines for the Covid vaccine, I've requested a waiver stating "I need to restore my magnetic powers to vanquish the X-Men, Avengers and Fantastic Four! " www.youtube.com/shorts/Lgd82...

Kurtz was played by Marlon Brando. The pose and the hat, and the "I loved the smell..." line were from Robert Duvall's character, Lieutenant Colonel William "Bill" Kilgore (I had to look that up).

I never was great at basketball, but I love shooting around, and playing pickup games. Though I avoid full-court contests. Not because of the physical toll, but because fear being selected by the "Skins" team.

Operation Warp Speed is getting a lot of mention this week. One thing that is now overlooked is that Pfizer—the first US company to cross the finish line with a tested, ready-to-produce Covid vaccine—did NOT take any Operation Warp Speed funding.

Since we're rebranding the DOD to The Department of War, how about we select a new national anthem? I nominate "Why Can't We Be Friends?" (my second choice is 'Spill The Wine," though "Low Rider" would be cool, too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH0Q...

He (Cruz, too) dreamt about sending military to other lands before Trump's 1st term. He (Cruz, too) was above enlistment age at time of 9/11 attacks. Though DOD raised age several times. He (Cruz, too) could have joined. He (Cruz, too) should ask Trump for age waiver report to boot camp.

This is based on George Carlin's Seven Dirty Words, routine. Note the time stamp is from 2018, I made this with imgflip when the 1st Trump administration listed these terms that were forbidden in US government science publications. I'm sure the current naughty words list is much larger.

I remember there was some outcry during Covid when Massachusetts deployed Guardsmen to drive kids to school, in a dozen or so districts, due to a bus driver shortage. There must be video of weekend Fox Anchor, Pete Hegseth, condemning that as an inappropriate use of military.
