Years ago, I was at a stoplight on Sunset, driving a tiny BMW I felt awkward about. A voice called out: “Don’t you look fabulous in that car!” I looked over and it was you, driving the car next to mine. I’ll never forget your kindness toward me and millions more. Peace.☮️

Infrastructure. Dull word that doesn’t resonate. Let’s translate it to everyday human-speak: “Better levees. Better sewers. Better runoffs. Deeper canals. More powerful pumps. Modern retractable sea barriers.” Just for starters.

If those dudes have been honest with you, they’ve also admitted to getting a thrill from the power their maskless faces provokes in public: they feel they own the libs. And for that, I can muster no compassion.

Proud to have attended college in Vermont, grad school in New York, worked in California, and to live in Hawaii. Back then, those values seemed universally accepted to me. I know how naive I was.

A piece which seemed to have no other point than to body-shame a person who feels depressed. A low moment for anything resembling journalism.

That’s Lewis Armistead, Brig. Gen., CSA, during the charge on federal positions, July 3rd, 1863, Gettysburg PA. Put his hat on his sword and rallied his men. But his was a treasonous endeavor, not a heroic one. Union forever. United. Happy

Sadly, no: our own Americal troopers killed men, women, and children indiscriminately. Even the Army after-action report says so. As does the US air crew that - risking their own lives - landed in the middle of the killing and demanded it be stopped. Research is our friend. 🇺🇸

A strict constitutionalist would also argue that the 9th amendment to the Constitution means there are rights outside the constitution that a lack of specificity in the founder’s document doesn’t deny. As in: kids have a right to education without fear of being shot. 🇺🇸

Here’s one story where Vyvianna Quinonez says the FA “started it”. No: FA said for her & her party to put their masks back on, which they refused. Don’t blame the victim whose “soft teeth” were knocked out. Quinonez broke FAA travel rules. Done.
@TedNugent
And when one party cared so little about the rule of law that their supporters tried storming the seat of government to stop a valid election from being certified.

If she keeps that name, I fear that a lot of sane people will remain confused and lose her at least half her potential audience. Which would be a shame. Because she’s good.

We here in New York City still remember the Bowling Green massacre that never took place. Other than that, we’re presently having lunch, going to work, and shopping. But thanks for your kind concern.
@IAmAmnaNawaz
Root cause is sadly apparent, as ever: whites don’t want to feel badly. About anything. Even if it will help. The mere specter of saying “yes, it happened and it was wrong” makes most lash out.
@IngrahamAngle
No: Milley instructed his subordinate officers not to set anything in motion if ordered to, unless Milley himself was in the loop. That’s prudent stewardship of his position. Anything less, he’d be remiss.
@JRMajewski
I’ll explain it: (Danish-born here 🇩🇰): our last mass shooting was in 1994. That’s right: nineteen-ninety-four. And the weapon used was a long rifle. Exceedingly rare. We have 28 years between mass shootings. Wrong parallel to draw.

It wasn’t taken out of context. It was quoted. & made you sound as victim-blamey as guys do. Empathy is easy to write. You didn’t do that.

That they should, it seems, un-black themselves. Things are being said in public now that would have been unthinkable a decade ago. But it’s out. It’s not going away.

So your admission of guilt and shame to the judge before sentencing was just acting for the camera, and not your real feelings?

What the Marines did at Belleau Wood was selfless and brave. Former Guy’s snubbing of their sacrifice remains a stain on presidential honor for our war dead. 🇺🇸

Vaccines - all the vaccines we’ve ever gotten - have boosted our immune systems and made them as resilient as they are now. They didn’t get that way naturally. Without vaccines, our tolerance for disease would be far lower. This isn’t opinion. This is scientific fact.

Yes: I realized that my skepticism of the efficacy of polls as such was misplaced. And that, instead, I needed to educate myself about those who conduct the polls, and what their process is each time.

gov’t aren’t Nazis. 2) She isn’t; she and other Dems want Putin out of a sovereign nation.
3) She’s not playing w/ US citizens’ lives.
4) it’s called standing up to our opponents without wilting when the going gets tough. And there it is.
Pretzel logic: “we invaded a sovereign country whose eastern provinces we’ve already invaded, and now we’re threatening anyone who helps the parts of it we haven’t succeeded in destroying.” Like an arsonist threatening neighborhood fires if the first one is put out. 🇺🇦 🥨
⚡️ Washington Post: Russia warns US to stop arming Ukraine.
The Washington Post reported that it had received a copy of a diplomatic note sent by Russia. In the note, Russia claimed that US & NATO shipments of weapons to Ukraine could bring “unpredictable consequences.”

The Constitution was written by men, not God. And citizens’ reasonable expectation of public safety has been argued before with legal anchorage in the 9th amendment. It was added exactly to guard against future areas the founders couldn’t reasonably foresee. 🇺🇸

Here’s an easily implemented idea: pull your country all the way out of the European union. Don’t delay. Hungxit will work wonders. 🇪🇺

Meanwhile, in developing nations, people are begging for a vaccine. Any vaccine. This demand for “a better vaccine” lives in a selfish fantasy world, not this one.

We actually can, thankfully. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is a real entity, not a fantasy creation. It certified it. Then and now.
