Why didn’t you join the military, Ben? Parents must be heathens.

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

The question we should be asking on the 80th anniversary of D-Day is the question Reagan asked: where do we find such men? The Greatest Generation was produced by a generation of churchgoing Christian mothers and fathers. 4% illegitimacy rate. 96% belief in God. 73% church membership. We've rejected all of those things and produced generations of narcissists instead.

@craigfaulknerKy @low_madness Has the last 5 years (actually 10) taught this guy nothing?

@Mrpalmer18 @Coach_AB3 You’ve changed your tune of late. Good to see you are now on board with the decision to move on from Cal

@BKozThatsWhy @KySportsRadio Jay Bilas disagrees. I do as well.

[Capt. Jeremiah Cummings @JeremiaCummings]

@KySportsRadio I can’t really find the words to explain my feelings for coach Cal other than to say that I believe Beyoncé would have similar recruiting and coaching success.

[Capt. Jeremiah Cummings @JeremiaCummings]

@joetknight @KySportsRadio I fully agree with this sentiment but I will add that I do so with the understanding and acknowledgement that I have zero basketball coaching experience and that no one should care what I think

@Slizzle20 @ryanhallyall I have been a military and commercial pilot of large jet aircraft for over 20 years now. I have a lot of experience creating contrails, no experience or knowledge of chemtrails. FWIW. Take care Slizz

[Capt. Jeremiah Cummings @JeremiaCummings]

@Slizzle20 @ryanhallyall Save yourself Slizz. Unplug for a while. Or at least research the articles you are digesting and regurgitating as fact. Seriously, just trying to help. Take care of yourself Slizz 👍🏻

I am old enough to remember when @KentuckyMBB had a good coach #bbn

@kevinnbass @Elliptization Honest question here. Is the moisture moving around the mask? Or is the heat escaping (as it obviously would) and then converting to moisture due to outside air temperature/dew point?

Bravo 👏🏻

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

What is your level of concern with and your thoughts on the #Bengals backup QB situation with Jake Browning and Trevor Siemian?

[Capt. Jeremiah Cummings @JeremiaCummings]

Looks like he’s running for Congress in Georgia #GunControl

This is Rani Waleed Qatanat. One of the Palestinians eliminated in #Jenin yesterday, during IDF counter-terror op. Before you hear him described as a 'nice kid' ...

[FedEx Pilots @FedExPilots]

"I'm very proud of the FedEx flight crew and that pilot. They saved, in my view, 128 people from a potential catastrophe." - @NTSB Chair @JenniferHomendy We couldn't agree with her more--we also commend this @FedExPilots crew for their quick actions. https://t.co/JTUi93SShD
