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

Can we get a round of applause for the man who was so disgusted with JD Vance that he refused to meet with him and sent a delegate instead.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.
New York Attorney General Letitia James slams convicted criminal Donald Trump after he orders the Justice Department to investigate her. “I will not be silenced. I will not be bullied. I will not bend. I will not break. And I will not bow to anyone.”

A PERSONAL FAVOR
A number of years ago I discovered that my wife has a memory like an audio visual recording Rolodex. She remembers conversations we had the first week we met. My memory is not nearly that good. In fact relative to my wife’s my memory is horrible.
Here in this community, it is challenging remembering who said what, especially without a feature that allows us to search by name for peoples past comments.
My memory works by geography. That’s my filing system.
If you would be willing,…
This from the man who lives "somewhere on the road!" Yes, I am in the Boston area. I remember several other LFAA locations, but permission isn't granted to share them. PS, here's a song for Roland (not THE Song of Roland) on his travels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov4epAJRPMw
Well, I’ve been to all the places west of Texas that Johnny Cash is talking about except Catalina. Thanks TPJ that was sweet of you 🙏
Reading all your replies, Roland, sparked a memory. My cousin, Joey, was a truck driver, retired in the early 2000's. He knew every nook and cranny of every town you could name. I don't think there's a cartographer who could hold a candle to the likes of him or you when it comes to U.S. geography!
Like I said, I’m a geography nut. And when we’re talking about the US were talking about my home. I’m a complete bimbo when it comes to Canada, or even Mexico which is closer to me than Canada.
We wince in Canada. I’m positive “complete bimbo” is grossly exaggerated, but it would not be enough for some Americans. Admittedly from several decades ago but... A colleague of mine came from a family in Niagara Falls who owned a motel. They regularly fielded inquiries such as, “Can you walk to Toronto from here?” “How far from here until there’s skiing”? (in July). My wife and I were once doing a baseball trip down the east side of your country. We were golfing one day in Brookline MA (gorgeous public course) and were paired up with the nicest American couple (American friendliness is legendary in Canada). The initial conversation after introductions went something like this: Him: so where y’all from? Me: Toronto (we weren’t, but we were 100% sure nobody would have heard of Peterborough, 60 miles away). Him (lighting up in a huge smile): Toronto? What a coincidence. I *know* a guy from Toronto. Me: Imagine. Small world. Him: You probably know him. Ed McAllister’s his name. Me (having an idea where this was headed): No, I don’t. Shall we tee off? Him: You don’t? Seriously. Me: Nope. Never heard of him. Him: Can’t be. Big guy, bit of a paunch - Me (avoiding my wife’s eye): No. You gotta understand. Toronto’s a city. Everybody couldn’t possibly know everybody. Him: Yeah Yeah, I get it. But you’d have at least seen him. Really loud voice, red-faced, always wearing boots - Me (in desperation at this point): Look, you could put at least two Bostons in Toronto. We’re two million people. Him: You can’t be serious. Canada doesn’t have cities like that.
There was a kind of chill for the first few holes. But at the very end, when we were saying our goodbyes, he gave me a big smile and a wink and said, “You say hi to Ed when you go home. Tell him Big John misses him”. It was a most friendly way of apologizing without actually doing so. I remember that moment most clearly. You guys have a way of making friendships that is very endearing. Canadians, alas, are much more reserved in the main. I think we miss out on a lot. It’s a smaller world today. Mass media is pervasive and (relatively) cheap travel used to be common.
