The Dalles is about 80 miles from Portland
Dallas is West of Salem in the costal foothills

Both are small and rural, less than 20,000 people

If ICE rolled into ether town, they would find themselves outgunned by the locals

An aggressive move in these cases would be to compel testimony from a commanding officer to ascertain if the guardsman's actions were w/in the scope of mission, covered by training, etc.

That will go over big back in the unit

It would also document how unprepared the guard is for such missions

I’ve stepped out of full time clinical care twice

Clinic Dean: I did 1.5 days a week, but also did a weekly journal club with residents, so I stayed pretty current

CMO: 5 years seeing patients a couple of weeks a year (covered PTO for my replacement)

Very much of a challenge to recover from #2

The travel: I would leave Sunday AM, return on Thursday MOST weeks. Sometimes it was for two weeks

During this time, she took care of most everything. It was an important role, but it was not ideal for our relationship

Where we are now has restored balance to our lives

I cook as I am a trained chef - so I also do the shopping & clean the kitchen

I clean bathrooms

I vacuum at least the stairs, usually she gets the rest

I would never do her laundry but I do mine

I wash the sheets & make the bed

For years she put up with me being gone for work for days

The thing about Russell which always strikes me; it is if he says "I had some thoughts, I'll write a book"

The array of topics is extremely diverse and the productivity is mind boggling

Given his style of a logical approach to topics, some of his titles can be interesting and funny:

Common Sense and Nuclear Warfare
Satan in the Suburbs
In Praise of Idleness
The Conquest of Happiness

True!
Perhaps a little clarity on my part:

While known as a logistician, philosopher & mathematician, he - as a philosopher he wrote a number of publications (> 60 books) on a WIDE variety of topics from
A History of Western Philosophy
Marriage and Morals
On Education, Especially in Early Childhood

In reading this, the thing to remember is Russell was best known for mathematics and logic, not writing

That being said, this is one of the best responses ever written

Mosley was a peach, not just in politics, but in life.

While married to his first wife, he had an affair with his wife's younger sister, Lady Alexandra Metcalfe, while having a separate concurrent affair with their widowed stepmother.

A docs, we see the entire spectrum of humanity

Last week, I had a guy in his 70's with a red MAGA hat and my next exam was with a trans couple

Yes, we see Nazi tattoos

I was a doc in the AFSOC community

I worked adjacent to these guys (not with!)
Its a refuge for those who didn't/couldn't stay in but did not want to quit the life

That's a red flag

From video, he found out prior to it being in the news? It's hard to tell the date of the event from what I saw

Also, after getting out of the Marines, he worked for Blackwater for 6 - 12 months

Too many red flags. The primary is not until June 9th 2026.

Find another candidate.

A contestant on The Halloween Baking Championship pronounced "Anise seeds" as "Anus seeds" ... more than once

We will never look at anise seeds the same.

My clinic manager’s daughter is at the age where, when her mom texted her “Love you” her daughter replied “OK”

Correct

Trying to fit the character limit, a better phrasing would have been "But there is not one currently" which would have been more accurate

I think Ken is correct; the speaker is basing not swearing her in on congress not being in session. He is not contesting her qualifications, so Powell v McCormack does not apply.

Speaker Pro Tem could also swear her in, he won't
