@AlanMCole Happened to me too. Booked a car for @Hertz via @carjet . Came to the airport and the unfriendly person at the desk informed me that she had no car for me. I even had it paid already upfront. That was in May. Haven’t got my money back yet….
Sound up please. Meet Maj Gen Jeannie Leavitt. She was the FIRST EVERY female fighter pilot.
The women beating unqualified Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, has ordered the removal of every image of Maj Gen Leavitt removed from the Pentagon.
Can someone tell me how this spiteful misogynistic act helps in the defense of America? It simply makes America look small out of touch and frankly absurd. Let’s compare their military records shall we?
Pete Hegseth military service was unremarkable he served as an infantry officer in the Army National Guard. He deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. His military awards include two Bronze Stars and two Army Commendation Medals
His final act of dishonor, beyond the assault of his partner, was to be forced to stand down from Veterans for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America—in the face of serious allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct.
I didn’t have enough space to provide Maj Gen Leavitt’s achievements, so here’s a link.

Friends, let’s send a message to this piece of shit excuse for a man, by making this image go viral today, so Maj Gen Leavitt gets the message, she’s a hero to all of us.
There goes Elon and Laura being facist again.
James Madison, often called the “Father of the Constitution,” wrote in Federalist No. 51:
“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
The statement made by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is historically inaccurate, diplomatically offensive, and demonstrates a gross misunderstanding of the Second World War. The suggestion that France owes its survival solely to the United States disregards the immense sacrifices made by other Allied nations, particularly Britain, which stood alone against Nazi Germany for over a year before the United States even entered the war. Britain, as a global superpower at the time, not only defended itself against relentless German aggression but also provided vital military, economic, and strategic support to resistance movements across Europe, including in France. It was British leadership, particularly under Winston Churchill, that ensured the fight against tyranny continued when much of Europe had fallen.
Furthermore, such a statement completely overlooks the crucial role played by the British Empire and Commonwealth forces, who fought on multiple fronts long before the United States joined the conflict. In the European theatre, British and Commonwealth troops outnumbered U.S. forces until the spring of 1945, demonstrating the significant contribution Britain made to the war effort. From the Battle of Britain, which prevented a German invasion of the British Isles, to the North African campaign and the defence of the Atlantic, Britain’s efforts were instrumental in keeping the war effort alive. By the time American forces landed in France in 1944, British and Commonwealth troops had already spent years engaged in brutal combat, weakening German forces and laying the groundwork for the eventual liberation of occupied Europe. Dismissing these efforts in favour of a simplistic and self-congratulatory narrative is not only ignorant but deeply disrespectful to those who fought and died for freedom.
It is also worth noting that Britain would have ultimately won the war against Germany it would have taken longer by maybe a year, but American leadership understood that the economic and military resources of European nations were essential for the next phase of the global conflict, the Pacific theatre. President Roosevelt recognised that once the war in Europe was concluded, Britain’s military, particularly its navy, the largest in the world at the time, would need to be redeployed to assist in the fight against Japan. This was a key strategic agreement between the two nations, ensuring that Allied strength could be focused on the Pacific as soon as Nazi Germany was defeated. The notion that the United States single, handedly saved France or Europe ignores these realities and diminishes the strategic coordination that defined the Allied victory.
Diplomatically, such careless rhetoric damages longstanding alliances and reflects poorly on the professionalism of the U.S. administration. France, like Britain, suffered greatly under German occupation and played a vital role in its own liberation through the efforts of the Free French forces and resistance fighters. To imply that the French should simply be “grateful” to the United States, without acknowledging the broader context of the war, undermines the spirit of international cooperation that led to victory. If the White House wishes to maintain strong relationships with its allies, it would do well to remember that the Second World War was won through collective sacrifice, not through self-serving revisionism.
It is very well known that Americans do not study in any depth in school history on a global scale, it is also joked about globally that Americans only know history through Hollywood movies which are always grossly inaccurate.
Another important point Americans do not know is that it was British scientists were instrumental in the early development of nuclear weapons, and Britain had made significant progress toward the theoretical and practical aspects of the atomic bomb before the United States took over the project for its pacific theatre campaign.
@BBCWorld It wasn't for "holding" a wombat, it was for her blatant disregard for the baby animal's welfare when she ripped it away from it's distressed mother. The behaviour was unconscionable.
Kelly: I served in the United States Navy for 25 years. I spent 15 years at NASA, risking my life flying the space shuttle. And the only oath I can think of that maybe Elon Musk has sworn is an oath to his own checking account, to his pocketbook—an oath, maybe, to ruining the lives of veterans. I had veterans in my office last week who, after really good performance reports, found out that Elon Musk fired them for poor performance. He has ruined these people’s lives. They were serving our country again in very valuable roles, and they did not deserve to get fired by an email from an unelected billionaire

If he stopped asking for aid and stopped insulting Hitler, the bombs would stop falling."

📸 No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today.
Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.
