It appears that Cadet Bone Spurs still believes (as he has maintained for years) that stealth aircraft are literally invisible.
And...
“This was the single greatest military attack that anyone’s ever seen.”
I'm sure the dwindling number of D-Day Veterans would like a word, asshole.

Trump: "The only time anybody could see those planes was when those bomb chutes open up, because it becomes totally un-stealth. You're going in, you go like this. As soon as it goes like this, for some reason the plane is totally visible. Not good. I watched it happening. I watched it go bing bing"

Any story about resistance within the military must begin by recognizing that it’s not an easy thing to do. Apparently, that’s true even for a much-decorated retired Navy commander, former astronaut, and sitting United States senator.

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.

Hegseth repeatedly misled the public about this strike.

The survivors didn't "radio for backup."
This strike was illegal, and Hegseth is trying to cover up what happened by refusing to release video.

Donald Trump declares he's surrounded Venezuela and is imposing a total naval blockade without a congressional authorization, in international law speak, this is an official declaration of war from the United States to Venezuela. Days before the Epstein files release.

Important post: my colleague documents an “official, nationwide policy of intimidating and threatening people who attempt to observe and record DHS operations,” or who peacefully and without interference follow and protest them, even though the First Amendment broadly protects doing those things. /1
On Dec. 4, DOJ labeled people who impede or "dox" ICE agents "domestic terrorists." I document how DHS believes following, recording, and protesting agents is "impeding," and has a policy of threatening & arresting ICE observers. That's unconstitutional. www.cato.org/blog/dhs-pol...

We've tried to tell people for years we aren't a red state! This map proves it. Wait to see what we do in 2026!
It took a little time to pull all this data together, but I think it was worth the wait!
Democrats won 245 races in South Carolina last month❕
They won in some of the reddest counties in the state.
They won because South Carolinians are tired of Republican nonsense.
LFG!
