@thaunsheeple For some reason I couldn't get into Black List. But I may try it again. It was gripping in the early going. Bad night of the week. I can never snag time to catch up on missed episodes & it got away from me.

@BasedMikeLee No kidding. I have my own reservations about Gabbard's lack of experience, but I wish her well. She's obviously very smart. Childish snark is so petty. Exposure of people's character is just a wearisome pageant of our time.

I grok this, though I admit to not mssing the need at 1 pt to have a unique key machined for a Euro-version 1968 Mercedes-Benz, by a tech I think they had to resurrect from the dead. $199 for a freaking key (1980s!). Special ignition sec job b/c car'd been in FRG embassy fleet.
I miss turning a key to start my car instead of pushing a button.

We can wish DNI Gabbard well. I'm not nitpicking when I say that the assurance Americans need is that our intelligence will become *worthy* of trust. No earnest expressions & process-oriented promises. Intelligence with integrity; reliable, timely, & without political subterfuge.

It seems to amazing to have to explain to the Senator that that's the whole point of tariff warnings & negotiations.

That'll be a monster mishap investigation. The pilot & EWO are reportedly stable in the hospital. Thank God they survived. EA-18G is an electronic warfare platform in an F/A-18 variant.

You have to know nothing about mil ops to think the way these behavioral critics apparently do. Top leaders need to handle stress this way. Mitigation & brokering different personalities into a unified combat force is largely done by subordinates. Ever hear of XOs & NCOs?
1/ I'm choosing violence on the way we select leaders for command. Meet COL (retired) John Bender, and I have permission to tell his story. He was found unfit for command because during a behavioral screening at the new Commander's Assessment Program (CAP), he was told by a behavioral health "expert" that he "Has a very high tolerance for stress, and that could be a negative thing because your (his) subordinates wouldn't be able to handle stress to the same degree and pace." Did you read that? A PERSON BEING SCREENED TO COMMAND A BRIGADE IN WAR APPARENTLY HANDLES STRESS TOO WELL. Is this real life? So who gets selected? Those who are buddy buddy with their subordinates and fold like a wet towel under pressure? I get the intention of CAP to screen for toxic leaders, but this is a wild over correction. He was one of the highest qualified armor leaders in the Army. So highly qualified that he was selected to serve as the G3 of the First Cavalry Division and was among the first officers to be brevet promoted to full Colonel. (those on the inside know how big a deal this is). COL Bender actually wanted to learn from his CAP performance and asked for his own file to study. When he tried to get his own records, he was told to FOIA them. He left that assessment with only stories of what happened to him. He was so rightfully angry, he retired in protest and is luckily thriving on the outside. CAP is relatively new (5 years old) and the process for which they select officers is COMPROMISED. We now have objective proof of this: In the article, a bottom 1% officer was moved into the top 1/8th of all selected commanders because of the shady practices of multiple 4 star generals. She failed CAP multiple times and was still selected for command over those who passed. Even our own Chief of Staff of the Army was involved. The CAP system has lost all trust and confidence and must be revisited. Amazing warfighters are getting left out of command for nebulous purposes because nobody can see what goes on behind the curtain. I pray you have someone brief you on cases like COL Bender's. There are dozens more like him who are getting sidelined every day.@PeteHegseth @SecDef @stuartscheller America, we are apparently denying leaders command because they handle stress too well. How does that make you feel?

The Hill makes a superb case here for NOT having national/single-payer medical care. That, and not Miliei, is the problem for Argentine medical services.
