Big congratulations today to my former students who have been selected for promotion to O-6: Matt Brown, Jason Egnew, Ronda Karluk, Jennifer Glossinger, and Eric Medina. Well done, folks!!
Virginians!!!! Remember to vote in today’s special election! Polls opened at 6AM. Do your bit for democracy!!
If I were given the ability to teleport, Waffle House would most assuredly NOT be on my list of "places to see before I die..."
I so wish that when the justices were asking about how the administration would administer the proposed policy they would have said “ so would you first deport Melania? And Marco would have to go as well as Usha.and BTW: the President’s mother, were she still alive…”.
"Men who abused these girls? What does that mean?" "I don't know whether there are men out there that abused these women." Todd Blanche is a sellout, & thinks that we are dumber than he is. Hard to believe these guys took the same oath that I did-to support and defend the Constitution....
Can I point out the obvious? If we invade Greenland, NATO will survive-it just won't include us. It will still be an alliance of 31 nations..w/good economies. & all of the "America Firsters" will have a rude awakening.. We need trading partners-have had them since before we were a nation!
Next up, will Miller talk about taking the Sudetenland? Stephen Miller Asserts U.S. Has Right to Take Greenland www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/u...

I wish someone would point out that the GOP has the 50 votes to pass the bill w/o 1 Dem by suspending the Filibuster. They've done it before. ('17/'19) But then they'd OWN it, & the terrible fallout for ~90% of Ams who don't have 8 zeros to the left of the decimal point on their asset sheet.
I learned a new word today: "latibulate." It's a 17th century verb that means " to hide oneself in a corner to escape reality or until the situation improves.." My Mom, the 3rd grade teacher would say "Now use it in a sentence." So: Mom, I want to latibulate until the 2026 election...at a minimum.
Someone needs to remind Pete Hegseth that no one would ever refer to "Stormin'" Norman Schwarzkopf or Gen. Leslie Gates as "trim"-but the first won Gulf War 1 & the second built the Pentagon & ran the Manhatten Project-both in record times.
Only take-away that matters from Trump's "speech:" The active duty American miitary should prepare to wage war on (Blue) American cities...Posse Comitatus, rules of engagement, Law of Armed Conflict, and 250 years of tradition be damned.
Not a lawyer here, but even I know that the correct phrasing is "the DoJ will SEEK to indict Jim Comey....." What is the matter with "reporters" these days???
Guess I missed the rapture-because listening to that UN "speech" made me realize that I'm in hell!
I cannot believe how sad I'm feeling as I watch Kamala Harris on Rachel Maddow......SIGH!!
Anyone have any idea what the appropriate attire is for the rapture??? Asking for a friend.....🤣
Kimmel comes back tomorrow night!! Never forget: the key to success is to hit 'em where it hurts: Their wallets!!!
Hey Brendan "we can do this the easy way or the hard way" Carr: Last year in National Rifle Association v. Vullo, the Supreme Court unanimously reaffirmed this fundamental principle of our constitutional republic:
Boycott ABC. Because a news organization of all institutions should know that the best part of the 1st Amendment is that is protects speech that we don’t like---But occasionally we just might learn something from that view point.
As if the year hasn't been bad enough...just read that Robert Redford passed away....my teenaged self is ....very sad.....Sigh.
“What is an American? It is a white person. America is a white homeland that organically binds together white people of the past, present and future." Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) Remind me again who is sowing hate & division in this country? Or is he saying Native Ams are the real white folks?
Guess John Roberts is between a rock & a hard place. He can either defend the "reputation" of the SC as an independent, co-= branch of govt, & remain true to his belief in "originalism"-, (rule against Trump)---or he can continue to sell his soul, roll over & betray the Constitution. Any bets?
The SC has agreed to a "speedy review" of the tariffs case....anyone wanna bet how THAT ruling is going to go? If they are TRUE "originalists," vs. Trump..... but I'm not holding my breath.....
Has anyone noticed that the SC just undid the 14th, 4th, & 1st Amendments w/ its approval of arbitrary searches/seizures based on race, language, & guestimates about the person's social class??? Epstein book is important, but so is the CONSTITUTION. Any bets on when separate but equal returns????
HEY MSNBC! I absolutely agree that te Epstein birthday book is newsworthy BUT did you happen to notice that there were 2 major SC rulings this morning----One of which okays racial profiling????? You might get around to mentioning that.....
I think any of we really white folks should greet every LE/NG person we pass in Spanish! Ask them how their day is going...in Spanish!! Let's see if they stop us and demand our papers!!
