To reflect the changing times, Bond had fewer liaisons - but we think Timothy Dalton brought real romance to the role…

Every single one of these men are still walking the streets and the halls of the White House. When are they going to investigated and brought to Justice if they’re found guilty!
Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth’s crusade to purge women and people of color from our Armed Forces has never been subtle.
But today, a New York Times exposé revealed exactly how far he’s gone to dismantle the careers and achievements of our finest servicemen and women.
More than a dozen military insiders — both active duty and those already purged — spoke to the Times anonymously to unmask a horrific ongoing attack.
They detailed a process used by Hegseth and his team to halt senior officer advancements for reasons completely unrelated to merit, job performance, or fighting wars.
Hegseth’s efforts are part of a quest to advance his white-and-male centered worldview, facts, history, and actual service be damned.
In the absence of any such evidence, insiders confirmed that he has used his position to withhold promotions from qualified, decorated veterans. The Times cited several enraging examples:
• Last fall, Hegseth ordered Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll to remove two Black and two female officers from a 29-person promotion list. Driscoll repeatedly refused, citing their decades of exemplary service. In March, Hegseth bypassed him, removed their names, and sent the modified list to the White House.
• In total, Hegseth has removed 32 officers from Air Force and Navy one- and two-star promotion lists. He also pulled the only Black officer and the only female officer from a Marine Corps list, leaving their promotions in limbo.
• Vice Adm. Sara Joyner, a highly decorated three-star fighter pilot, saw her advancement stalled over a 2021 Navy recruiting ad where she said, "I’m not just a girl with a dream. I’m a sailor with one." Hegseth deemed the line a "big problem." Joyner has since retired.
• Rear Adm. Stephen D. Barnett was recommended for a promotion after successfully managing the aftermath of a massive Navy fuel spill in Hawaii. Hegseth blocked his advancement after Barnett participated in a Navy-sponsored Pride event back in 2018.
It is an outrage to watch a media personality whose greatest battles have been with hangovers intentionally harm the careers of people who risked everything to keep America safe. Hegseth’s actions are insult to all who have served and a risk to national security.

Now Trump says Iran deserves to have ballistic missiles because everyone else has them, we were going to run out of oil if he didn’t end the war, and you shouldn’t care about Iran because the stock market is at a record high.
Absolute clown show.
BREAKING: MAGA TERROR! The men arrested by the FBI for plotting to attack Trump’s UFC event have been exposed as white pro-Hitler right-wing extremists who were targeting the Trump team for covering up the Epstein files!
Reap what you sow…
Trump’s idiot FBI director, Kash Patel, got in hot water yesterday by prematurely bragging about having foiled a plot to commit a terrorist attack Trump’s UFC fight.
He actually did nothing; the mother of one of the perpetrators called the cops on her son after he began stockpiling weapons and getting deeply involved in an “ultra-religious and anti-government” group on the internet.
Five people have been arrested so far:
• 19 year-old Tycen Proper of Ohio
• Bryan Omar Roa of California
• Michael Alan Thomas of California
• Daniel K. Eskridge of Kansas City, Missouri
• Abraham H. Alvarez of Omaha, Nebraska
The charging documents for one of the men, 19-year-old Tycen Proper, says that he joined a TikTok group called "Vanguard of the Old."
His mother told the cops that “PROPER had recently began interacting with a group online that was comprised of individuals who represented themselves as ex-military and that may share some Christian-based ideology.”
“She stated that she did not know the name of the group, but that they expressed ultra-religious and anti-government sentiments, specifically citing grievances about government corruption, the handling of the Epstein files, data centers taking up all the water in communities, and other government actions.”
Proper himself had been posting pro-Hitler and anti-Semitic comments on social media.
The documents state that Michael Alan Thomas “believes that the U.S. government is run by an elite group of individuals who sacrifice and consume infants who also were deeply involved with Jeffrey Epstein and are now protected by President Donald Trump. THOMAS places some of the responsibility of this corruption of government with Jewish people and blames them and Israel for the current war with Iran.”
The group was plotting to attack the UFC fight with drones, driving people towards sniper teams to be shot. Sen. Marsha Blackburn was one of their targets for her slavish devotion to AIPAC and Israel.
This is a fascinating glimpse into the blowback that Trump and the right-wing propaganda machine has unleashed against themselves for spending years prompting outrageous conspiracy theories about satanic pedophile cabals…and then going above and beyond to keep the actual Epstein files hidden.
Once again, it is made clear that Trump and the right-wing are the sources of and perpetrators of political violence in America.
How ironic that they end up being its targets now.
The Iran deal will go down as the biggest political and military failure of any president.
Trump caved, compromised and capitulated to every aspect of a war that HE started.
He was the big talking bully who picked a fight with the wrong kid on the playground and got smacked down for everyone to see.
What a complete and utter embarrassment.
@PraxisDarth@GRCinemaTicket I’m with you. They alternate between my top two. I really like Celi as Largo. He’s my favorite villain of the Connery era, though Red Grant is close.
@axaxia92 The Bond/Pushkin hotel scene should be required in auditioning Bond actors. Dalton and JRD are brilliant. We know Bond doesn’t believe Koskov, but Dalton makes you believe he still might kill Pushkin anyway. Dalton is perfect.
