In addition to the monstrous arch obstructing the view, it will need warning lights.
Uncle Ed was a WWII ACE.
He said that landing at National airport was more dangerous than landing on an aircraft carrier.

Vietnam Vets are suing the Trump over his ridiculous arch, in which is another $100 MILLION of our tax money.

In this video you can see how his arch would block the view of our most hollowed burial grounds.

When asked who the arch is for, he answered, “me”.

STOP THE ARCH!

Kid pushed in front of me to gym door.
My thought: So rude.
Then he held the door for us
Us: Thank you.
Kid: When I'm as old as you maybe someone will hold the door for me.

Trump tells reporters he was cheered at the Knicks game:
I thought it was very good. It was certainly amazing. I think mostly cheers. It was loud. And it was very enthusiastic

Fun fact...
Elizabeth II served more time in the military than Trump or his sons and daughters or his father or his grandfather.

[Canada Hates Trump @AntiTrumpCanada]

D-Day wasn’t about keeping desperate refugees out of Europe.

It was about defeating a fascist regime that treated human beings as less than human.

Hegseth using that anniversary to score cheap political points is cynical, disgusting & fucking shameful.

Papa was a agricultural economist with research grants from the USDA from 1948 to 1979.

He must be rolling over in his grave.

[Eliza B @ElizaBGraphics]

Well, can’t blame this on DOGE cuts or incompetent folk at the USDA.
Just my fellow stupid Americans…who probably voted for the folk who allowed the DOGE cuts and incompetence at the USDA.
Do not drink raw milk.

Screwworms are back after being eradicated in the US in the 1960s.
Have been found in 2 calves in Texas.
Did DOGE cut the screwworm monitoring and sterilization program?
Wish we had competent folk back in charge.

Mine was the literally first generation not born on the family farm.
Our families survived the Great Depression and other hardships because they owned the land outright.
They had little cash, but they had their homes and could grow food.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Rep. @AngieCraigMN: Do you know how many farms we lost in the US last year?

Trump's Agriculture Secretary: Uh... I know you were talking about bankruptcies, about 315 farms--

Craig: We lost 15,000 farms. Do you know how much money farmers lost? $28B.

Trump's Agriculture Secretary: Well... It depends on how you calculate that.

Ken Paxton is throwing everything he has at us.

He’s called me a radical leftist. He’s called me a fake Christian. He’s even called me a vegan!

I’m an 8th generation Texan — I've been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment.
