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’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
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.

So the Republican Party has historically blocked:

-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health
And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

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.

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen.

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.

The Truth?? To Democrats and their media sycophants, the truth is Their Truth. Exposing the actual truth will be an exhausting and difficult task for the Trump administration. Many will be hoisted on their own petard and deservedly so. The legacy media will be exposed for the frauds that they’ve openly become and should, by the end of Trump’s term, be formally consigned to the dustbin of history.
More complicated will be the exposure of those people and organizations who actively conspired to ov…
"The Truth?? To Democrats and their media sycophants, the truth is Their Truth"
Net,
Sooo, the actual truth will be "our truth"? The Republican Truth?
Take two decent men, both honest, educated, intelligent. Expose them to the same scenario, and get two diametrically opposed statements of fact. Two entirely different versions of "The Truth". I have friends, intelligent, serious men of real accomplishment in life, who believe that Kamala Harris is qualified to be President of the United States.
I mu…
You've lost your way, friendo. People can be accomplished in some ways and areas, and utter fools in others. Not all knowledge is of equal worth or applicability. One could be a expert on say, stamps, and easily be a Democrat weirdo. An engineer would be far less likely to freak out like this, but it is still possible.
A criminal event will be seen from different angles and by different people with different mentalities. Two different people in the same place won't see exactly the same thing - o…
Jerek,
The point is that "Truth" is subjective, as you describe. In your analogy, the caveman's son will die with that generalization on his lips.
"There is no knowledge at all. Each moment is brand new and completely unique." Every human, at birth quantifies this fact.
Do you trust the legal system to provide understanding and truth? The system exists to administer the rule of law, not "truth" as an abstract.
Yes, Jerek, I have, indeed, lost my way.
Oh, and an example of the accomplished in my expe…
Sooo, the truth is objective but is viewed subjectively? Who will then be the arbiter of truth? With what qualifications?
The Nurenberg trials were filmed. Evidence presented. Truth ordained! Do you believe the objective truth presented? If not, why not?
Intelligent men can disagree, and, perhaps, without fault, both be correct in their own minds. Subjective.

You do not either, so why do you disagree with it? On what basis do you disparage Nuremberg? Because war is hell? Because Sherman said so? Because whatever Israel does it right and if they do it, Germans deserve an apology?
Subjectivities or "people" must train themselves to see truth. Give an Abo a microscope and he will hit another Abo over the head with it or use it to grind grain or berries. As with the Eye of Flesh, so with the Eye of Mind, and ditto the Eye of Spirit. What I'm teaching you…
Lugh,
I do not disparage, but rather decry the certainty you develop from faith. I did not see overwhelming truth from the trials. That is my point.
I have more than once said that the more I study, the less I know. I have learned not to trade in absolutes.
