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.

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.

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

The Loneliness No One Talks About

No one warns you about the loneliness that comes with growing.

The silence when old friendships stop fitting, but new ones haven’t formed.

The ache of outgrowing places, conversations, even versions of yourself.

Growth is beautiful, but it can also be isolating.

Keep growing anyway. You’ll find your kindred spirits.

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.

Imagine if, reading a book, there was no option to turn it back to the previous page.

How carefully, would you read that book. That's life.

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.

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.

THANK YOU for exposing a serious problem with the The Save Act, along with the impure motives of some who are pushing it. I will make sure my Rep and Senators are informed.

Just yesterday, it was reportedly discovered that a 150-year-old individual is still collecting Social Security benefits. I assume this person is still voting also.

Also, I heard the recording of a woman complaining that she couldn't keep her new BMW and expect to have 90% of her rent paid by the State. Guess who she's been voting for?

I listened to your SS expert and he said that there are "myths" out there being oft repeated, but that doesn't necessarily mean that this specific example -- of a documented payout -- is not true. It came from a trusted News source. I know of no reason for Musk to make things up and expect not to get caught.

Daniel Solomon's avatar

Narcissists believe their own lies.

This week, Trump fired the inspector general assigned to USAID after the office released a report detailing the potential consequences of Trump and Musk’s dismantling of the agency. No reason was given for the termination.

This came after the recent mass firings of agency inspectors general. New reports also raise concerns that certain fired IGs — who conduct independent investigations and are not meant to be subject or loyal to the whims of political appointee…

Tim Cantrell's avatar

All that was when Musk was a Democrat. Was it wrong then?

The USAID Inspector General should be fired, for all the fraud that is now coming out.

I don't know whether Musk can be trusted. Trump is a "Reality TV star" who can't keep his mouth shut. I am ready to fire them all! But then, who would clean up this mess? Certainly not those who made it!

Trump has one last chance: Either he will restore our Constitution or he will fall with those who are trying to destroy it. ALL the liars will be held accountable.

Daniel Solomon's avatar

In case you missed ikt, two major righteous prosecusions of Trump were killed and many cases brought by the agencies based on IG investigations either were killed or are in jeopardy.

Trump was, and is, a "New York businessman." However, just because "he played by the rules," doesn't make it "right." And, just because someone thinks it is "illegal," doesn't make it "wrong." And as Abraham Lincoln said, "It is very doubtful if the majority is ever correct."

Bring it all out! Let Trump bear any shame he deserves.

Giving classified info away makes him a traitor. The Mar A Lago details should havew been public. A grand jury passed on the indictment.

The fact that he fired the people who were investigating him makes him a criminal.

There is a draw to mull over the past and long for the future fantasy. Neither will do today. Best practice to be aware of these unhelpful thought webs and clear them away as they present. They only serve to keep us stuck in anywhere but the present.
