The average life expectancy of a new Russian recruit—from arrival at a training ground to death in a combat zone—lies somewhere between 10 days and three weeks. Once sent onto the battlefield, they survive an average of 20 to 35 minutes. @peterfrankopan https://t.co/W3UhBerdH0
At the height of WWII, the assembly lines on Long Island were so efficient they could turn out one Hellcat per hour to support the effort. For every Hellcat America lost, our enemies lost 19 aircraft.
On this day in 1942, the Grumman F6F Hellcat makes its maiden flight. More than 12,000 will be built before the end of WW2. Hellcats will down more than 5,000 enemy planes, making it the most effective naval fighter of the era.
There's nothing wrong in principle with taking a scythe to the ranks of flag/senior officers. George Marshall did the same before WW2. But forcing General Chris Donahue's retirement would be a serious misfire of any such effort--and it's not too late to reverse course. 1/11
The Court was reading an act of Congress that said there was no judicial review of TPS designations. If you don’t like that, change the law.
Changing the Court won’t matter if you’re unwilling to pass new laws.
#AKSEN news: Alaska elections director strikes Dan J. Sullivan from the ballot.
“the preponderance
of the evidence is that you chose this new nickname and party affiliation because that name and party
affiliation happen to be the name and party affiliation of another candidate in the race”
Today Ronald Reagan would say, “Mr Putin, get the hell out of Ukraine.”
He set the example for a strong “Peace through Strength” policy guided by strong values.
I’ve seen so many clips of Knicks fans losing their minds over this already today. 29 points down before going on to win it with 1 second remaining and go to within 1 win of their first NBA title in 53 years.
Imagine not loving sport?
Sham candidate Dan Sullivan, the Schumer/Peltola machine’s new recruit for US Senate in Alaska, is not a real Republican, he’s a donor to liberals across the country including Peltola herself!
He’s doing everything possible to turn Alaska blue and ensure Chuck Schumer becomes Senate Majority Leader.
Alaskans do not want another sham, Alaskans want the real deal.
RightCount's @RepLouBarletta & @MattSalmonAZ in the @DailyCaller: "one-party governance comes with accountability, and the voters of California deserve leaders that are willing to look honestly at what isn’t working rather than defending the status quo..."https://t.co/LwzBQDOKym
"Decoy Dan"--the Democrat plot to run a second Dan Sullivan for Senate, hoping he makes the 4-way runoff to confuse Alaskans--is bad enough. But if this investigation is true, it may be criminal. @nancyforalaska's investigation is raising perjury stakes, too
The lesson from California's slow vote count isn't conspiratorial fraud or stolen elections. It's just the latest example of incompetent policies and staggeringly inept politicians we shouldn't export to the rest of America.
Before D-Day, Eisenhower wrote a note in the event of failure.
"If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone."
He carried it in case 156,000 soldiers paid with their lives and he had to explain why. He never had to use it but the fact that he wrote it says everything.
Quite the splitscreen;

Mitt Romney to HBS graduates yesterday: "Helping building a nation's economy is public service. But there's more to a country than its economy. ... There is no national success that could compensate for failure to be a good and noble people." https://t.co/WfgkJITPe7
