I am a resident of Lake Placid since 1977. I went to those games. Our town is STILL very connected to the 1980 games. It makes me very sad to see these guys with him.
For some reason it was important for Kash to be in the middle of the 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team in the Oval Office. The man always works so hard at the FBI.

Dolphins play with pufferfish primarily to experience a mild, trance-like high from the fish's potent neurotoxin (tetrodotoxin), which they release when threatened; they gently pass the pufferfish around, chewing it carefully to induce small, intoxicating doses ...😎💙😎

Trump post just now. He’s mad about Sleepy Trump jokes. But get a load of this:
He calls for the New York Times to “cease publication.” He says the newspaper is “seditious, perhaps even treasonous.”
“They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it.”

Reminder: he proposed to her on FaceTime just 18 days after they met.

A new CNN report uncovers that the IDF knowingly:
•Shot starving Palestinians trying to collect flour
•Bulldozed their bodies into shallow, unmarked graves
•Left them to decompose, scavenged by dogs
•Never documented these murders & tried to hide them
This is what genocide looks like. Horrific.

If blowing up survivors in the water was the right thing to do because they are “narco-terrorists” (trust us, bro) and deserve no quarter, why did we rescue two other survivors in a different strike, fly them home, and let them go free?

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

A critical step for an authoritarian regime.
The White House just launched a "Media Bias" tracker to supposedly monitor fake news. It's really a hit list of reporters & outlets covering issues in ways Trump & the admin dislike. Flagrant attack on independent thought, freedom of the press & free speech. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

On Nov 6, 2024, the day after the election but 2.5 months before Trump’s inauguration, the US Navy “obeyed in advance” & fired the CO of the Navy Leadership & Ethics Center in SD.
I set it down at the time in my notes on the ongoing War for Democracy as a very bad omen.
I wish I had been wrong.

Anne Frank & Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were born in 1929. Viola Fletcher, who just died this week, was already 15 when they were born.
But while we were just with Ms. Fletcher days ago, Anne Frank & Dr King are portrayed as ancient history.
