Thanks to Radio Free Canada for providing the 60 minutes piece for us to watch.

When Hegseth sobers up, he needs to take a look at UCMJ Articles 90 and 92. Then, for casual reading, he can check out the decision in United States v. Calley with regard to illegal orders. Is the killing of civilians in boats legal if they haven't been given due process?

Can we move some of the ICE tear gas budget to SNAP? That ought to feed a few million people for a while.

Early in my career, I was a history teacher. Later, I transitioned into IT and have worked in that area for 40 years. Little did I know that the concept of versioning, so ingrained in IT, would one day apply to history as well.

Speaking of circumcisions, RFK needs to have his head circumcised.

My new design for ICE dress uniforms:

If Trump changed the name of the Defense Department to the War Department, why can't he change the name of the Department of Homeland Security to the Gestapo?

So what, exactly, is "inconsistent with the public interest?" I would opine that airing Trump lying would meet that standard.

If this isn't a caricature of the gestapo, then I don't know what is. wgntv.com/western-subu...

This is like a burgler who goes to court and uses the defense that he shouldn't be convicted because it will be very difficult to return what he stole. www.axios.com/2025/09/07/t...

Isn't it about time for Congress to make laws regarding the minimum qualifications for cabinet and agency posts? For example, minimum levels of experience in the public or private sector directly related to the job. Even an acting CDC head who isn't from the healthcare sector is unforgiveable.

I wish the press would stop calling it deportation when someone is sent to a country other than the one they came from. It's called rendition.

Just a thought, but what do you do if your Department of Justice is corrupt?

The President appoints with the "advice and consent" of the Senate. Is it possible to withdraw that consent?

As an Air Force veteran, I am disgusted at the AF giving Ashli Babbitt full military honors. She disgraced the uniform she wore. Hippocrites.

Trump invented a national emergency in order to unilaterally impose tariffs. Now that those tariffs have brought on an impending economic disaster, when is he going to declare the tariffs a bona-fide emergency?

If you read the history of the 1930s, you'll know that this is true and well-said. Many Germans wanted just to wait Hitler out, thinking he couldn't possible have staying power. Now it's people who just say "Well, he'll be gone in 3 more years, we'll just wait him out. Why rock the boat?"

From NYT regarding Medicare's experiment: "The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections." What could possibly go wrong here?

The media needs to start distinguishing between "deportation" and "rendition," especially as Trump is threatening to "deport" U.S. citizens.

Whatever happened to the inverted pyramid of journalism? It seems that, with online journalism, the incentive is to keep you reading as long as possible. Hence, putting the important details at the end has become the hallmark of online journalism. The inverted pyramid has been turned upside down.

This from the guy that just wants to "send money back to the states."

semantics....

Why not just do away with age limits altogether and declare Florida a Dickensian state. www.cnn.com/2025/03/25/b...

A Pentagon-wide advisory that went out one week ago warns against using the Signal, the messaging app, even for unclassified information.

Democratic House Rep. Seth Moulton goes off about the Signal group chat. "It says that the rules that apply to you don't apply to us as your leaders. There's a simple concept that I would have thought Pete Hegseth would have learned in the National Guard, which is leadership by example." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

"If these idiots are accidentally roping in the editor of the Atlantic on secret war deliberations, what are the chances they’re making other serious information-security mistakes, including ones that create openings for foreign intelligence agencies?"

🚨 CBS News has received an internal NSA bulletin from Feb 2025 warning staff NOT to use Signal app for sensitive info, citing vulnerabilities to Russian hackers. These docs were sent pre-Houthi chat scandal with Jeffrey Goldberg.

Trump's science denial, racism and sexism will trigger a brain drain that weakens the United States. MAGA is trashing our leading role in the world to wallow in greed and ignorance.

An entire administration of 12-year-old boys trying to act tough. Read the statement below and then look at this dweeb.

MAJOR BREAKING: Governor JB Pritzker just revealed that during COVID, Donald Trump told him he would only send life saving equipment if he agreed to praise him on the Sunday talk shows. Is Donald Trump evil or just completely fucking deranged?

As usual, Putin played Trump like a fiddle.

It seems like if what she is saying is disqualifying for a judge, then what about Clarence Thomas?

So who decides now if someone is a gang member or if someone has a valid asylum claim under the law? Tom Homan? A random ICE agent? A local Sheriff’s deputy? A neighbor? An informant? So they just say a person is in a gang and they get disappeared to a prison in El Salvador?

superb:

As fascism took hold in Europe in the 1930s, one of the first dominoes to fall was the ability to speak out without fear of repercussion. nader.org/2025/03/14/s...

Trump wants to annex Canada because, as a convicted felon, he can’t go there any other way.

That's rich. A speech on "law and order" by a convicted felon who's managed to dodge justice on multiple fronts. As AG, Bondi should say no to such an event. But I am engaging in wishful thinking, for sure.

Once again, Oklahoma's educational system is in a race to the bottom. Oh yeah, they're already there!

Even that is a meter too long, eh?

The kakitocracy is hard at work

Pam Bondi: "Of course we're gonna lose in these liberal district courts, but we will win in the Supreme Court. Donald Trump will control the budget."

JD Vance best watch this vid ‘cuz yesterday he bitched that his 3-yr-old was scared by a group of protesters shouting “Slava Ukraini.” The hypocrisy is staggering: This girl lost her leg in a Russian attack & is a symbol of the unyielding strength of the Ukrainian people who are fighting pure evil.

Wow

Yeah, and by the time the kid is 5 and entering kindergarten, they may get an appointment.
