Hardest working people in the Federal Government.
Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?

A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

I think she’s being circumspect. Her book caused me to arrive at that conclusion 6 or 7 years ago. Maybe longer.

Well done, Indiana, BTW.

Here The Kennedy Center is handed over to FIFA and DC has a more than serviceable soccer stadium and there’s no game in our area.

Kinda like an enclave resort contributing nothing to the economy.

Admiral Bradley is set to brief Congress tomorrow on the boat strikes—

Which brings Admiral Holsey’s recent resignation to mind, after he informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after 40 years of service in the U.S. Navy—

I’d like to hear Holsey’s testimony too

We apologize in advance to fans of Franklin for sharing this post from ‘Secretary of War’ Pete.

Hard to believe there are serious people still sharing the X platform with all the folks like this guy, and the owner.

I love it a decent person is provided the proverbial stage by stupid asses.
Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

This is Union Station. I think I saw these three young people in the U Street Station last night. I have resolved that kindness should be offered to all our guests. As a friend noted, it’s not their fault that they are here.
