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.

I don't know if JD Vance killed the Pope, but I think we should deport him to El Salvador just in case.
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

Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He's now planning to end the free IRS Direct File program.
Apple donated $1M. Trump exempted most of Apple’s imports from tariffs.
Coinbase donated $1M. Trump’s SEC dropped a major lawsuit against them.
See how this works?

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.

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

Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.
Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen.
She has been on a govt salary for years.

Don't leave anything for later.
Later, the coffee gets cold.
Later, you lose interest.
Later, the day turns into night.
Later, people grow up.
Later, people grow old.
Later, life goes by.
Later, you regret not doing something... when you had the chance.

There’s a term in psychology called habituation: the way we stop noticing things we see often. A painting on the wall. A familiar view. Even a person’s kindness.
The brain filters the predictable to save energy. But in doing so, it risks filtering out what makes life feel full.
Not everything that becomes familiar should be forgotten.
Sometimes, attention is an act of love.
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.

I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.
I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.
I want to be soft. I want to be steady.
Fall in love with your life.
Wake up early, buy your favorite coffee, go for walks, eat good food, wear what you love and listen to your favorite music. Create these little moments of joy that make you fall in love with your life.

no one talks about how soul-affirming it is to get a “had so much fun with you” text after hanging out. not a meme. not a tiktok. not a link. just a plain little sentence saying “i like you. i like your company.” we live for that.
like when someone sends “still smiling from earlier” hours after the hang. or when they walk you to your car even though it’s 30 feet away. that’s the kind of stuff that ruins me.
You hit publish, and there’s no reaction.
No likes. No shares. Just silence.
But writing isn't about receiving praise.
It’s about leaving parts of yourself for others to discover.
It may take days.
It may take years.
But keep writing, regardless…

Sadly, these media commentaries filled with blatant lies covering up Biden's mental decline work on a lot of people that never bother to watch the debates. When all is exposed, in a just world, these media companies should be sued for election interference. However, they won't be because Obama amended the Smith Mundt Act in 2014, making it perfectly legal for them to lie and spread propaganda. Why Trump did nothing to rectify the situation whilst complaining about fake news is beyond me and makes me question whether we're all being played.
It all had to become overtly obvious to the sane. It is broadly speaking a play, The Greatest Show on Earth. Trump could do nothing worthwhile on his own as we all play our part.
boom, well said here...thank you

Same. I don’t even know what I’m going to post about most of the time. You’re all just as surprised as I am. 🤣
The Trump regime has officially invoked State’s Secrets Privilege in the Alien Enemies Case.
The court can decide it is not applicable. But, this makes the case much more difficult to sort through. Here is a little more on the privilege and some case law
