I posted this while enjoying dinner by myself at a steakhouse in the Utah mountains. Just after posting, to my surprise, I heard a British accent. It was a man about my age who was also dining alone. Made friends with him. Told him I’d buy him a beer if he could name the first U.S. president. He couldn’t. He’d never heard of George Washington before. We got our bills. He tipped 10%, I tipped 30%. The waitress, Julie, called us both baby on the way out. She winked at me, I must assume for making up the difference. Took him for a ride in my Tesla so he could experience full self driving. It broke his brain. “THAS A BIT MAD INNIT?” The European mind truly cannot comprehend. God bless America.

We have lost 42 aircraft of which 24 are drones so that leaves us with 18 manned aircraft losses. Out of these three were friendly fire and 7 were from the rescue operation of the F-15E that was shot down over Iran. 24 aircraft losses spread out across over 10,200 air sorties striking over 13,000 individual targets. With nearly 40% of the aircraft lost from a single event, I don't think that's a sign of US power decline in the slightest.

I couldn't agree more with @patio11 on this. My dad had all his life insurance with his employer (IBM) for most of his professional career. Term life insurance in his 20's or 30's would have been trivially cheap. In his 40's he was diagnosed with an arrhythmia & then independent life insurance was prohibitively expensive.

Don't forget the outhouses!!

Watching these back-and-forths feels like a game of dodgeball where no one really wants to catch the ball. Saying "he didn’t accept a bribe" and then dancing around the actual $50,000 question doesn’t add up to me. If you’re so sure it’s not a bribe, just say yes or no and stop the runaround—it’s not that hard. People deserve straight talk, not political tap dancing trying to twist facts and make everything look like a misunderstanding. Every time they say "ridiculous smear," it just makes me wonder what exactly they’re trying to hide or avoid admitting. Transparency isn’t a favor, it’s the bare minimum anyone running for office should deliver

I'm trying to imagine I gave a shit about empty gestures for LGBTblahblah... "Damnit. I liked that paint. Now I have to buy an extra bumper sticker."

That odd moment when you were actually rooting for the guy 😆.

Let them fight, teach them what it is to be a man while he’s young

Good ol' chickpea, definitely didn't have a chip on his shoulder (or chin)

And nationally if it’s a systemic issue then it needs to be addressed systemically. Maybe that means universities being like “ok kids are allowed to do light plagiarism too” or maybe it means something else but it would obligate some change

This has nothing to do with "principle" but I imagine this is exactly what the Democrats are hoping their tactics will accomplish.

My guess The Admin and press will undertake a fighting retreat that will make Dunkirk look like a walk in the park.

Interesting that the cartels and human smugglers who are responsible for endless suffering and death at the southern border were spared from any criticism here
