Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires?

(Asking for anyone who cares about US National Security)

Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

The Biden family celebrated Easter in Delaware today! No hate, no attacks, no insults. Just a good family spending time together. The Trumps could never.

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid.

But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous.

Courage is contagious.

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

Educate yourself.

When a question about a certain topic pops up, google it. Watch movies and documentaries. When something sparks your interest, read about it.

Read, read, read.

Study, learn, and stimulate your brain.

Don't just rely on the school system; educate your beautiful mind.

Trump tariffed every country, even penguins, but not Russia.

He said it’s because he’s negotiating the wars end. But he DID tariff Ukraine.

Hmmm

This is Daniel Berulis. He’s a whistleblower about DOGE stealing usernames and passwords, which Russia then used. He came forward even though he was threatened.

You wrote, "Today I am speaking out. I am doing so knowing how toxic the public conversation is around this highly contentious issue—and the ways that my testimony might be misused. I am doing so knowing that I am putting myself at serious personal and professional risk."

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Thank you for taking the risk to write this. What's happening now is insane and surely one of the lowest points our culture has ever stooped to.

I think that what you've just said will make a difference.

Maybe my grandchildren will move back to the US before they graduate high school.

My daughter and SIL are currently raising them in Asia to keep them away from this lunacy.

Comprof2.0's avatar

When did they move?

Marie's avatar

Before my eldest grandchild started elementary school.

Marie's avatar

TMI. Sorry.

Comprof2.0's avatar

Lol. TMI. Yeah....because they moved way before all this trans/kids trans reeassignment stuff all started being discussed last year.

Unsaint Finbar's avatar

The lunacy has been going on a long time in many forms.

Look at you: you daily demonstrate an utterly illiberal inability to recognize the validity of dissenting views, and with your handle it seems likely you are exposing our children to your bad ideas somewhere.

Common sense is not complicated. What is complicated is rationalizing obvious stupidity.

Skinny's avatar

Your post has summed up this troll perfectly Thanks Barry!

Lol. Me asking how many kids have undergone gender reassignment surgery is trolling. Everyone has a psychiatric meltdown.

You people are pathetic.
