NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

Just sayin': "τῶν δὲ μαντηίων ἀμφοτέρων ἐς τὠυτὸ αἱ γνῶμαι συνέδραμον, προλέγουσαι Κροίσῳ, μεγάλην ἀρχὴν μιν καταλύσειν." And the two oracles prophesized to Croesis that waging war against the Persians would destroy a great empire. Herodotus, Histories, Book I.

Trump: “We have a plan, because of the power of our military, where every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o’clock tomorrow night, where every power plant in Iran will be out of business — burning, exploding, and never to be used again.” And what happens when all of that does not occur?

If we are going to stick to one time, it should be standard time. After all, A.M. and P.M. are supposed to refer to the meridian, when the sun is (almost) directly overhead. Noon should be in the middle of the day. What we should adjust is our schedules, so, for instance, work would 8 to 4. 1/2

Is it a "war" under the Constitution or isn't it? I'm reminded of the Abraham Lincoln joke: "If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have? His answer: "Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg." Refusing to call it a war doesn't mean it isn't a war.

“This morning our commander opened up the combat readiness status briefing by urging us to not be “afraid” as to what is happening with our combat operations in Iran right now. He urged us to tell our...

Jeff, @knapsack77.bsky.social, I know this is just the sort of historical fact you like.

TIL that Thomas Jefferson instructed Lewis and Clark to carry with them smallpox vaccine--technically, an earlier form that used cowpox--that they were to offer to native people they encountered. Jefferson was by no means a friend to native people, but he was an ardent proponent of vaccination...

Excerpt from Thomas Jefferson's instructions to Meriwether Lewis (20 Jun 1803): "In all your intercourse with the natives treat them in the most friendly & conciliatory manner which their own conduct will admit; allay all jealousies as to the object of your journey, satisfy them of it’s innocence, make them acquainted with the position, extent, character, peaceable & commercial dispositions of the US. of our wish to be neighborly, friendly & useful to them, & of our dispositions to a commercial intercourse with them; confer with them on the points most convenient as mutual emporiums, & the articles of most desireable interchange for them & us. if a few of their influential chiefs, within practicable distance, wish to visit us, arrange such a visit with them, & furnish them with authority to call on our officers, on their entering the US. to have them conveyed to this place at the public expence. if any of them should wish to have some of their young people brought up with us, & taught such arts as may be useful to them, we will recieve, instruct & take care of them. such a mission, whether of influential chiefs, or of young people, would give some security to your own party. carry with you some matter of the kine-pox; inform those of them with whom you may be, of it’s efficacy as a preservative from the small pox; and instruct & encourage them in the use of it. this may be especially done wherever you winter."
