If you're wanting to do some international travel this summer, but a little more pinched than you expected to be, I have one recommendation: China. China is probably the best value for the dollar right now. A hotel that would cost $500+ in the states is about $35. A meal, $3. See it before WWIII!

We have known this for a while, but the evidence is becoming more and more damning. Putin is helping Iran try to kill US forces. And Trump is protecting and helping Putin at the same time. MAGA is perverse. kyivindependent.com/russia-sendi...

If meteorologists thought like astronomers, instead of calling radar things like "Live Mega Doppler 8 HD"; they'd simply just name it something like "The Extremely Large Radar". But, astronomers aren't exactly the life of the party, they after all prefer their excitement measured in angstroms.

Melania did a press conference with a robot and the robot spoke better English than she does.

Rick Berman is 80 years old, but I guarantee if Paramount fired Kurtzman and asked Berman to “save Star Trek,” they’d be rolling in money.

This will never make sense to me… from 'Today is a good day to die' to 'Today is a good day to moisturize.'

Yikes. Who is at the CDC these days, anyway?

The law disagrees. POTUS has 90-days from the start of hostilities to either get a declaration of war from Congress or an AUMF. If neither happens, a draw-down has to immediately begin. Source: War Powers Resolution of 1974

Republicans are losing narrative because they don't know how to talk about this. I live in a VERY red area and I've not heard a single person say Trump didn't start this war, he's "finishing" it. Not one! Trump did start this and shouldn't have. But now that it has started, we have to remove IRGC.

I'm not looking for praise or hate, but consider that some of us have already served. Yesterday, I went to a new specialist because I have some metal in back and everyone is afraid to remove it. When I turn a certain way, it feels like I'm being branded with a hot iron. It makes me grumpy.

For those who are new to me and say stuff like "go sign up", I did once. I have metal in my body today from combat. I've been sliced up pretty good. I took a claw hammer to the mouth once. If I could "go sign up", I would. But they won't let my body fight anymore. So, there's that.

You can tell a woman invented the sewing machine because that thing is called a "presser foot." If a man had invented this, it'd be called "The Seam Crusher", unless he was a meteorologist... then it'd be called a Fabric Dominator 3000.

oh my god is it a calf, please tell me its a calf

Colbert is going from late night TV host to writer of a Lord of the Rings film. I think that’s a big step up.

That was surprisingly nice of Elon. Clearly, Trump doesn't want TSA to be paid.

Kill it!

An air traffic controller at LaGuardia says he messed up, resulting with the Air Canada airliner collision with the fire truck.

70% of polled adults by the AP say it's "Very or somewhat important for the US to replace Iran's government with one that's friendlier to U.S. interests."

If you know a Republican, make sure they’re aware that Trump voted by mail. Most Presidents (in fact all others) voted in person while in office.

“None of the President’s objectives (in Iran) can be accomplished without a physical presence there.” ~ Sen. Richard Blumenthal

It’s too bad that they didn’t get to interview John P. O’Neill for that report. He was so focused on this that he created the “Al-Qaeda Desk” at the FBI in 1998. And he sent Mark Rossini to the CIA in 1999 stating it was a top priority.

In 1999-2000, the lights were flashing red that a group of people in Afghanistan were actively trying to find a way to bomb the WTC. If Clinton had sent the military in, the public would have overwhelmingly objected. The WTC would still be standing and Clinton would be known as a war criminal.

This morning, the Leningrad region was bombed 👀

Russia bombed a power plant in the EU.

The Iranians are reportedly done with Witcoff and Kushner. There are reports that they want to deal with Vance instead. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if they’re considering an eye for eye kind of thing, losing Kushner would be far more damaging to Trump. He’d laugh if they got Vance.

We're beyond "Israel and oil" at this point. We just did to Iran what Japan did to us. As a result of the latter, we nuked Japan. That's where we are right now.

Placing a bet on Polymarket should be a felony. And it should be blocked in the USA.

We wouldn't need ground forces to control access to the island(s). For the past few days, there have been fewer C-130s into Israel and more C-17s. That's indicative of heavier loads. A C-17 can carry an M1 Abrams, a C-130 can't. The plan might be secure airfields, start flying in mass.

The 82nd is being deployed to the Middle East. That likely means we'll be securing some airfields inside Iran.

Trump voted by mail. He’ll probably claim his vote was changed.

Do it to it, Flo-rida!

We would really help small businesses if we drop these fees for imports of less than $5K.

Can’t believe we’re still doing this.

I hate defending Graham. But I just find it really disrespectful when someone tells someone who wore this nation’s uniform, especially one who retired to “put on a uniform and do it yourself.”

He wore one.

Met a dog named Snot.

Sometimes shaking it helps!

In fact, if Trump fails to remove the HEU, it's going to be much worse. We have little real knowledge of what they have underground. And the only way we're going to safeguard our national security is to control those spaces and see for ourselves.

The JCPOA was a band-aid. At some point or another, it was always going to come down to a war with Iran for as long as they were holding on to HEU. Maybe next year, maybe 50 years from now, but it was always going to happen. If Trump fails to remove the HEU, it's going to happen again.

Please contact your representative in Congress and make sure they're aware of this and ask that they get answers. Our allies from Afghanistan should never be in an ICE camp.

I don’t like the idea of killing scientists outright. They may or may not be loyal to IRGC, their loyalty may be to their science. The opportunity to defect should be offered first.

When it comes to TNG, DS9 and VGY, there are few CGI effects on-screen "with actors", other than things like phaser blasts and transporter effects. That makes it easier as better tech comes available to "remaster" those series and keep them current. They just need to find a way to make it true 16:9.

Andor proves that you can have a highly successful sci-fi hit series with very strong writing and very little CGI. That series is going to hold up over decades. In 50 years, nobody is going to look back at it and say "well this just looks stupid today." Same is mostly true for TNG, DS9 and VGY.

A friend went to "MegaCon" in Orlando last weekend and told me that Trek was "barely" represented. The main deal was "The Birthday Klingon", and of cosplayers in attendance, the representation was TNG era. You can measure fan engagement from these events. CBS has a prob. Star Wars is killing it!
