Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.
My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.
Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.
If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.
WHOLESOME: #Chargers legend Philip Rivers talks about rooting for Justin Herbert.
“I was there 16 years. Hopefully Herbert can go another 16. Like the Packers, doing it right. Not like Browns with 30 starters. They nailed that pick. I’m pulling for him
Pratik Joshi had been living in London for six years. A software professional, he’d long dreamed of building a life abroad for his wife and three young children, who stayed back in India.
After years of waiting for due clearances the dream was finally coming true. Just two days ago, his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, a renowned doctor in Udaipur, resigned from her job. The bags were packed, goodbyes said, the future within reach.
This morning, the family of five, filled with hope and excitement, boarded Air India flight 171 to London. They clicked a selfie. Sent it to relatives. A one-way journey to a new life. But they never made it. The plane crashed. No one survived.
In a matter of moments, a lifetime of dreams turned to ash. A brutal reminder, life is terrifyingly fragile. Everything you build, everything you hope for, everything you love, it all hangs by a thread. So while you can, live, love, and don’t wait for happiness to start tomorrow.
Nine years, $135 million and allows the Padres to keep one of the best players in the game through his prime years. San Diego is 6-0 and this is by far its biggest win of the season so far.
@IraGorawara@MartinJarmond How can you possibly be this incompetent. The exact same thing happened 4 years ago with the Villanova game and you still have absolutely no clue what you’re doing. The blueprint is out there. Call @ninaking22 or at least do something with an ounce of logic.
My child is less than 2 months old and therefore is not vaccinated yet against measles. I cannot believe I have to worry about his vulnerable little body getting it in the year 2025. Being anti-vax is not a personal choice. You drag us all along for the ride.
