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

To all those who say Trump has “single-handedly” wrecked the economy: He didn’t do it single-handedly. Congress could’ve stopped him anytime. The Republican-led Congress allowed him to wreck the economy.

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.

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.

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.

I'm thrilled Assange has been released, but the sad fact remains he had to plea guilty of espionage, when all he did was report information given to him. How many journalists will now think twice before exposing the dark underbelly of the US government? Assange paid with twelve years of his life - and who knows what will happen to him next? I don't trust the system that wanted to kill this man.
And how many more are willing to pay the price when it comes down to it? How many Americans are willing to fiercely run the criminals out of office here...and how long ago should this have done...where are our American heroes that tolerate our veterans being housed in the streets, going without the decency of most pets in America...and a long list now involves sending both parents off to war???????? Oh! I know...our American MALE heroes are in the gym, watching the fights, going to the ball gam…
When the sociopaths send others (never themselves or offspring they like) off to war, it's so that you don't return, like troublesome communists in the US were sent to die in the Lincoln Battalion in the Spanish Civil War:
I can’t stop smiling. I reached out to the cutest little cozy family-owned coffee shop to see if I could do a book launch/signing…and they said, “YES”! It’s really hard for me to put myself out there, but I did it. You can too.❤️
