Enlarge it if you need to, and read it carefully.
The first paragraph of Judge Breyer‘s opinion granting an injunction in the California National Guard case is a banger.

Almost daily someone wants to tell me that I should mind my own business and stay out of US "politics". So almost daily I have to remind them that Trumpism affects global economics, environment and peace. I'll do what every concerned global citizen should do. I'll express my opinion. Loudly.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Oh Marsha, you ditzy twat, it’s not tremendous news.
He’s blowing up the national debt to fix a problem he created.
Keep Joe Biden’s name out your damn mouth.

... when Rand Paul sounds reasonable and well considered ...
Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

PLEASED BE ADVISED: The Pete Hegseth review of the September drug boat incident will be completed "with all deliberate speed." Reviewing personnel are currently assigned to reviewing the Epstein Files for their congressionally mandated release, later this month.
