The early morning sun is casting long, horizontal swathes of light and shadows across the hills in Laguna Lake Park Open Space. The sunlit areas are a bright chartreuse and the shadows are a bright green. A barbed wire fence is in the foreground, and Cerro San Luis mountain is in the background under a blue sky.

He voted for Kristi Noem to give her a chance. How did that work out?

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
Glock pistol used in deadly shooting at Old Dominion University was illegally sold to shooter, a convicted felon under probation, by a man federal ATF agents knew was selling guns illegally. He previously received a "warning letter" & had to write an apology.
It's time to enforce our gun laws
โThe clear winner of this war is Putinโ

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
Polymarket, Kalshi and all the rest of these prediction markets need to be wiped off the face of the earth. They provide absolutely nothing of value and are corrupting everything they touch.
Yesterday was a tragic day for America and our Air Force. I flew the KC-135 for just two years at the start of my Air Force career, but this one still hits close to home. Keep our military in your prayers.

Oh, honey . . . just because you played dress-up at a fake "military academy" that your parents sent you to because you were such an unmanageable, obnoxious teenager doesn't mean you were in the miliary. You had that duty, but lied to get out of it.
This must be why Kegbreath is gutting JAG OFFICERS. So military personnel don't have any legal help if the Regime court marshall military personnel for not following their orders.
The Pentagon is moving an Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) to the Middle East.
This consists of an amphibious task force naval element and a landing force (Marine Expeditionary Unit / MEU) and about 5,000 marines.
Dear Fox propaganda machine,
Send a film crew, Kegsbreath, bessent and the entire Trump family to the straight of Hormuz to show how โsafeโ it is!! Pleaseโฆit will be like the show of a lifetime!!

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarterโeven the declaration of no quarterโis a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
Search-and-rescue crews were โflying blindโ trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.
Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMAโs $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.
But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.
