If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

The game plan is presumably to scapegoat Bradley and then offer him a pardon if he keeps quiet.
WAPO: “.. Officials in Congress and the Pentagon said Monday they are increasingly concerned that the Trump administration intends to scapegoat the military officer who directed U.S. forces to kill two survivors of a targeted strike ..”

Weirdness/levity moment: My awesome cousin, Martin Kitrosser, directed & co-wrote the movie Silent Night, Deadly Night 5 in 1991. I've never seen it (way too scary for me), but I was just looking at the movie poster & noticed that it includes a hilariously menacing looking Raggedy Andy doll.

It is incredibly strange that these schools seem to factor in zero reputational, enrollment, or recruitment damage to their “settling with Trump” equation, when clearly there’s a major hit to all three.
We must keep calling out those that cave to the Trump Admin, and the latest is Northwestern.
As part of their "deal," NU will pay $75 million, stop vital research, renege on agreements with its students over the war in Gaza, and more.
Throwing your students under the bus to please Trump. Shameful.

On the 70th anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, I hope
folks remember that:
1) It was the fruit of over a decade of planning and activism and
2) The boycotters endured 381 straight days — every morning, every evening, every weekend — of threats, harassment and sometimes bombings.

Fascists are waging a brutal campaign against universities and their employees—and rather than defend themselves and the people they depend on, universities are throwing them to the wolves. They’re risking liability and their own survival—and rewarding the wolves. Stupid. Short-sighted. Heartless.

My constructive question to this student is, how would you articulate your concerns and your reasoning to someone who does not share your faith in the Bible as an authority? Being able to do this is an important objective for education, both for self-awareness and for living in society.

This nonsense—students converting grade-grousing into crying “discrimination”—is being increasingly normalized. It happens everywhere in academia. It’s happened to me at L&C.
The core difference is places where the admin still respects professors as professionals (like L&C) and places that don’t.

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

Now we all know dinosaurs lived for millions of years right?
But does you mind actually wrap around how long they dominated for?
