What would have happened to Grace Hopper if she were up for promotion when Hegseth was Secretary of Defense?
I am bothered by Hegseth's use of the term "warfighters." A modern army should rely upon soldiers - trained and disciplined to work as teams - not glory-seeking individualists. The days when battles are decided by hundreds of separate sword fights are long past.
Live Updates: Trump Says He's Reached 'Framework' Deal on Greenland and Drops Tariff Threat

The New York Times

NY Times: "Trump is announcing a new class of Navy ships that he is describing as “battleships.” He said he expects the U.S. government to acquire 25 of the new vessels that are expected to be called Trump-class battleships. It’s the latest example of Trump rebranding or remaking an aspect of the government in his own image."

Let's see, when was it that the battleship was revealed to be too vulnerable to be effective? Oh yeah, December 7, 1941.

Let's hear it for all the MAGA champions fighting antisemitism, like Kosh Patel!
Note: my comment is bitterly satiric, if I have to make it plain.

From TalkingPointsMemo.com:

In a bombastic social media post, Patel this week ended a training and intelligence-sharing partnership with the Anti-Defamation League. In the process, he smeared the ADL and former FBI Director James Comey, claiming “James Comey wrote ‘love letters’ to the ADL and embedded FBI agents with them – a group that ran disgraceful ops spying on Americans,” Patel posted. “That era is OVER. This FBI won’t partner with political fronts masquerading as watchdogs.”

26 U.S. Code § 7213A - Unauthorized inspection of returns or return information. I believe DOGE is in violation.

Let’s be explicitly clear.

The Electoral College exists because enslavers wanted to count their enslaved in their vote total without freeing them, much less giving them voting rights. That is the one purpose the Electoral College ever served.

Pro Electoral College is pro white supremacy. Abolish it.

Orange displeasure.

I looked up who would hear the appeal of DJT's recent criminal conviction and it turns out that life *does* have a sense of humor.
