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

You don't need more time, you need fewer distractions.
You don't need motivation, you need self-control.
You don't need more resources, you need resourcefulness.
You don't need luck, you need preparation.
You don't need to be busy, you need to be focused.
You don't need to know everything, you just need to start.
You have everything you need.
Agree?

THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE FROM EVERY DEMOCRAT IN OFFICE. Thank you, Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury
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.

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.
Marketing isn’t all on your shoulders. More than 50% of all new free subscriptions and 25% of paid subscriptions come from within our network.
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.
Something aint right

The grass roots of the party are focusing on an unelected billionaire who says German public employees implemented the holocaust, not Hitler, and endorsed the German neo-fascist party in the most recent German election. Also he is leading a haphazard and non-transparent campaign to dismantle the Social Security Administration, the Veterans Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration etc.
Had our elected representatives ever made any progress in reigning in the spending of the Federal government none of this would have been necessary. As it stands, we are dooming future generations to try and fix that system so it didn’t greatly harm those future generations. In other words, we were fu*king the lives of future generations so we could live comfortably. It’s our pain to bear. Not our grandkids and their children.
We live about 100 miles downstream from Hanford. Believe me, I was very far from amused by Biden's appointment of a transvestite nutcase to be in charge of the cleanup, but I was equally very far from amused by that DOGE firing of nuclear engineers there.
Both of those were reversed, DOGE's thankfully much more quickly, but they are both examples of rank idiocy. Another example would be the dismissals within the Bonneville Power Administration and the U.S. Forest Service. I could go on and on about bad federal management of national forests for the past 35 or so years, but firing the people who'll be fighting the fires this summer was stupid and scary.
We live 15 miles as the crow flies from a national forest named for the first head of the Forest Service, Gifford Pinchot, appointed by Teddy Roosevelt. Part of it caught fire the summer before last. Reform of the Forest Service is very much needed, but not that way to say the very least.
The first rule of ANY incoming administration should be: "Don't be stupid." That others have been stupid is no excuse to be stupid, only in different ways.
