You wouldn’t ban the construction of new cars or tools or appliances to help increase people’s “refrigerator wealth” or boost used car values.

A country can’t get rich by making housing scarce

Guan Heng went to Xinjiang to photograph the detention camps where the Chinese Communist Party imprisons Uyghurs. He fled China via Hong Kong, Ecuador, and the Bahamas, reaching Florida on an inflatable boat. The US was considering his asylum case when ICE arrested him. DHS has not released him.

also this is a direct result of prior administrations negotiating with the teachers' union to add even more religious observance days to the calendar (I think Diwali was the most recent one), meaning that we no longer have any 'buffer' days to use as snow days and remain in compliance w STATE law.

Does anyone have any idea how we break the echo chambers? No Trump voter in my family will ever know what actually happened to Alex Pretti or Renee Good. They will believe the officers were justified. They will watch Fox News and that will be the end of it.

It is not up to the armed forces to put a stop to Trump’s ghastly ideas of war against NATO. The United States is not run by the military, nor should it be. Americans, and their elected representatives, must take this burden away from the armed forces—now.

Defense analysts who tout US combat experience when discussing US vs PRC would do well to recognize 3 things: how many have combat experience?; in what roles?; what type of experience? COIN/CT or “LSCO.” Took squadron cmd in ‘14. > 1/2 the unit had no combat experience of any kind.
Detail I learned today about the Caracas raid: more than 20 of the Delta Force operators earned their Combat Infantryman Badges on the raid (as in, they did not previously have them). An illustration of how GWOT combat experience has aged out of the force, even JSOC units.

there is no population that are 3/3 because they're the low hanging fruit that were never not subject to deportation

Not sure who needs to hear this, but the Insurrection Act isn’t the same as “martial law.” It authorizes the molitary to engage in civil law enforcement. And not clear that even then, whether they can enforce state criminal laws

Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."
