I often think something similar in relation to my godson Luke who passed away while serving in the Navy. If he were alive today I'd beg him not to enlist - not because it could (and did) cost him his life, but because it could cost him his core values.

From a Biblical standpoint, rainbows are a sign of God's covenant not to destroy every living thing on the planet, which directly contradicts the values of the Department of War.

The term originated from an African American and I asked permission to use it. I can get her to provide the same permission to you, if you'd like.

Even if you wanted to argue that Confederate flags have multiple meanings to different people and might not be hateful, that's STILL the flag of an actual rebellion against the United States and ought to be against military protocol to display.

It they are "potentially" divisive, that means there are scenarios where a noose or a swastika ISN'T hate speech. I would like Pete Hegseth to explain to me when that would be the case. Explain it like I'm a child. If it's easier for Mr. SecDef, explain it like I'm being homeschooled with PragerU.

Calling for those things to happen is not the same as blaming AIPAC Shakur when they don't.

I am sorry, but the smashburger makes burgers worse. I always ask for my burgers un-smashed if the menu says they are of the smash variety.

"Cliff Grambo? Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time...a long time."
"I think my uncle knows him. He said he was dead."
"Oh, he's not dead, not yet."
"You know him?"
"Well of course I know him. He's me. I haven't gone by anything except Buzz Grambo since before you were born."

You just described the plot to every Nicholas Sparks book, but the writers keep leaving those parts out of the movies because they always seem to call up John Woo for advice and he's like, "Ok, that's cool but what if instead everyone was sad and dying of cancer?"

To be clear, I still maintain that the idea of a 50-year mortgage is on its face colossally and indisputably bad, and arguably predatory. But if it were my only option, I'd tinker with the amortization curve so that it could line up with what homeowners are going to need.
