So I rail against that feeling when it comes
Totalitarianism tolerates no such dissent as found in the law.

Swift action reinforces the dictator’s unquestioned authority in all matters.

It’s a cult of power and there is no shortage of disciples.

It was the place to go after every good (and bad) night out. We always ended the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving there.

Boar’s Head has an unfortunate history with food-borne illnesses.

Haven’t bought any in years.

The National Guard has served a vital purpose in our states for years.

Disasters, rescues, large events.

But the Presidents have used them as an end around Congressional authorization for military action for too long now.

We don’t know the motivations of the shooter

People are, of course, jumping to conclusions based on his nationality

But the fact remains that Guardsman should have been recalled after their deployment was ruled illegal

Now Hegseth & Trump are doubling down & deploying additional Guard in response

The NBC4 report quoting WV Gov Morrissey has been retracted.

The two Guardsmen are in hospital in critical condition.

PEPFAR is the one no-asterisk-needed success story of Geo W Bush’s time as president.

That a different Republican would effectively stifle it is so on-brand for what passes as conservative values today that it’s not even a surprise, but it still is shocking.
