For anyone trying to understand why Hegseth is trying to defend the obviously indefensible, Hege just outlined why. He believes that a POTUS is a King/Dictator & can do anything he wants. apnews.com/article/hegs...

While granted Bill's logic is undeniable, that is only one of many "logical inconsistencies". Another is the fact that they "rescued" 2 survivors of another attack, & then RELEASED THEM TO THEIR HOME COUNTRY. Some enterprising journalist needs to interview them.

Is it just me or as of 12/7/25 at 10:15 EST US are all of the profile photos absent if you load another user's profile? Both the round photo and the banner one. The round one is present in a thread, but not if I pull up the user's profile.

In the return to duty directive officials acknowledged they're facing a sizable caseload of civil rights complaints & they underscored a need to utilize every resource at the government’s disposal to work through them Who coulda seen that one coming? Um, everyone? www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

I wonder if he comprehends that he just got hit with another Obama Correspondent's Dinner moment? www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHck...

The term underage woman refers to a DIFFERENT CLASS/GROUP OF FEMALES. Girls/children was the proper descriptor to use in the context of that broadcast. An underage woman is a female who is NO LONGER A MINOR but not yet legally entitled to engage in a behaviour. 1/3--Continued

Add this to your lexicon folks. The new name for the POTUS is--Drowsy Donnie

The SCOTUS will hear the POTUS policy on birthright citizenship What will that do to Ted Cruz? He was born in Canada to a Cuban father & US mother He has US citizenship through birthright Cuba does not recognize him & Cruz renounced his Canadian citizenship. Oops

BREAKING NEWS The POTUS was just awarded the Peace Prize. No, not THAT Peace Prize. But the one just created this year by THE FOOTBALL (SOCCER) LEAGUE LMFPGWAO. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

If my wife's health insurance (Through the Market Place) company's practices are standard in the industry, you are billed for the month in advance. We just got our increase for 2026. Nothing we can't manage. My point though is that over the next week the cacophony of outrage will be deafening.

ICYMI, ClearSky is a Web Site/App that lets you view history of your profile here You can also see who has blocked you with ClearSky. Have ever used that site, looked at who is blocking you & have a WTF moment? & discover you are blocked by someone you've never had any interaction with. Strange.

Every time they open their mouths to explain a prior comment they dig themselves deeper 1--There was no kill all people on the "drug" boat order-BUTTT they had to fire on the DISABLED boat 4x a boat which had survivors. 2--The survivors could have gotten back into the fight--BUTTT 1/2-Continued

I've been saying PRECISELY THE SAME THING FOR 2+ YEARS. Few seemed to hear me though. Regardless, I will keep shouting it at every opportunity until the noise becomes a roar.

Layoff announcements this year have hit their highest level since 2020...U.S.-based employers announced 71,321 job cuts in November...The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ next employment report will not be released until Dec. 16. Guess who owns the economy right now? www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

MEASLES UPDATE As of December 2, 2025, a total of 1,828 confirmed* measles cases were reported in the United States. Among these, 1,804 measles cases were reported by 43 jurisdictions: 1/3--Continued www.cdc.gov/measles/data...

On top of that, drug traffickers are not terrorist The PROPER definition of a terrorist is someone who uses force or the threat of force to obtain a political objective Drug dealers don't have a political objective. There is no such thing as a NarcoTerrorist.

In case anyone (Other than me) is interested in the sourcing for this data point, it was ADP. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/03/a...

The Dem Tenn candidate lost Let's not sugar coat it But it has some intriguing correlations The Dem lost by 6 pts The POTUS won a year ago with 22 pts Per Newsweek what is his approval rating now? SIX POINTS THE SAME AS THE MARGIN OF VICTORY LAST NIGHT 1/3 www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

An important clarification We have to properly identify what is occurring here. While not a war crime, it is a crime against humanity (As well as outright murder) In which case, the world court can intervene & arrest them when they are on jurisdictional soil.

HE STILL IS WEARING BANDAIDS ON HIS RIGHT HAND. (Unless, of course, that photo was shopped. And if that was the case, in my best Emily Letilla voice I say, never mind)

If, and that is a big if, we can eliminate this Dictatorial regime, then he, AND MANY OTHERS IN HIS ADMINISTRATION, should be incarcerated Not for the sake of punishment, but instead as a way of keeping the country safer And we also need to limit the Presidential Pardon

His racism has always been apparent but he has become more open about it this year Some 77 million people chose a racist for POTUS He is a sad pathetic old man Unfortunately, he also sits at the head of government Our method of choosing leaders is definitely flawed.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it--George Santayana an abhorrent person who had some poignant quotes Hegseth said he didn't see the 2nd boat strike killing 2 Nazi prison guards said they didn't see the gassings Spoiler's alert That defense didn't work for the Nazis

Today the POTUS said that "Somalis should go back to where they came from" What racists have we heard that phrase from before? How can any rational person still deny that a racist occupies the WH?

How many times do you hear, "Thank God I am stuck inside because it is raining?" For the ENTIRE MONTH OF NOVEMBER we had 0.03 inches of rain That isn't a misprint Savannah Ga is PARCHED. Finally, we have some rain today.

Please note his word parsing. He will release the RESULTS, not the MRI's themselves. Results that he would have written himself.

What gives that observation credibility (If it actually needs it) is the fact that there is video evidence that most have seen with the POTUS saying that he has the right to kill people. That is disturbing.

A new generation is about to be reintroduced to the fact that the defense "I was just following orders" is not a valid defense.

Flor-i-Duh strikes again DeSatan is trying to eliminate property tax but says the revenue loss will be made up in state tax So stop paying tax locally but pay the same to the state & complicate the method for local gov'ts to receive revenue Makes sense Snicker 1/2 www.realtor.com/news/trends/...

Why is this such a surprise? The process to appoint a US Attorney is quite clear & unambiguous. The only question is, will the administration abide by the established procedure, or will they continue down their Dictator Road?

This is HOMEMADE MAYO using NO EGGS. Instead it uses aquafaba which is the liquid created from cooking dry chickpeas This uses HOMEMADE aquafaba The Mayo has NO PRESERVATIVES & will last in the fridge for several months 1/2

That makes the false assumption that Hegseth feels that he is constrained by the law.

In addition he didn't create those followers They existed long before him He simply branded them as his movement HRC spoke about them 9 yrs ago We fought a Civil War with them 164 yrs ago That group has, unfortunately, always been a part of our society.

The war in Ukraine won't end until the Russian people demand that it end Putin has no incentive to stop No politician there will especially if they are afraid of open windows The only peace treaty Putin will agree to is his agenda It will take Russian public outrage Or all out NATO military support

This wasn't an immigrant problem. More Nat'l Guard troops won't solve it The Afghan man accused of gunning down two National Guar.. had been unraveling for years,..His behavior deteriorated so sharply that a community advocate reached out to a refugee organization www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

The POTUS is in Reactive Dictator Mode He is RESPONDING to events as a Dictator would. God help the country if he progresses to PROACTIVE Dictator Mode, & begins taking Dictatorial actions in ADVANCE of events. (I.E. National Curfews, arrest of opponents before they express opinions, etc.)

People who view the taking of a life, any life, so cavalierly have some serious mental issues. He is a dangerous individual who should never be in any position of authority.

When I worked for NCR occasionally someone would do something they shouldn't Instead of dealing with just that one person NCR would create a new rule which often made our work more difficult & techs would face palm The POTUS has just taken the NCR route. www.cbsnews.com/news/nationa...

It may take decades to recover after this Dictatorship has expired.

Libertarians say, my body, my choice If I want to abuse it that is my choice to make However, your abuse rights end where my insurance rates begin IMHO the UK has this one right. www.bbc.com/news/article...

So, does the fact that the Fentanyl that he keeps using as the rational behind his tariffs on Mexico & Canada (Did everyone forget about his claimed Canadian connection?) doesn't come from Venezuela mean that the invasion is now off?

If what I just heard is accurate, the WH is negotiating with Russia with the JV Team The report said that our negotiator Witkoff who does not speak Russia does not have a Russian translator with him Which means that he is relying on PUTIN's translator Putin is eating our lunch.

Why is any rational person suggesting that they should? Russia is conducting an unprovoked war of aggression They are not entitled to any land, nor to dictate terms for ending hostilities The only thing they should do is to withdraw & provide Ukraine reparations to restore infrastructure.

So, the CIA Director is saying that the CIA, HIS AGENCY, did a poor job in selecting that person. And allowed that person to work for the CIA during the POTUS's first term? That's what the CIA Director is saying about his agency?

Something occurred to me today, Friday. The POTUS is the personification of the TV character Archie Bunker He acts like, talks like, thinks like, that TV character. Henceforth, I will be referring to him as an: Archie Bunker Blowup Doll. Or ABBD for short.
