Everyday we see real things from the government that the writers of Veep couldn’t come up with on an Ayahuasca retreat

[John Dunham @JohnnyBoy2597]

I’ve said this for years. An anonymous army of “little green men” shouldn’t be allowed to overturn the rightly elected government. Everyone knew who they were, Obama should have called his bluff.

[Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @DrewPavlou]

Here’s what should have happened.

Obama should have asked Russia if these masked men were Russian military.

When Putin shrugged and smirked, “No, not our guys,” the US should have then simply bombed the shit out of them.

Note for less-cultured Europeans: you can only call it Kirkland Cabernet Sauvignon if it comes from the Costco region of the United States.

They should change the name to "Strait of Schrödinger". It's both open and closed at the same time.

The only thing you need to know about the situation regarding Iran is that the United States has never, since the Barbary Wars over 200 years ago, accepted that a foreign potentate would be able to control freedom of the seas and demand tribute. It's the reason we built a Navy.

Florida to California via the Moon is a domestic flight until another country proves otherwise

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Masoumeh Ebtekar - also known as "Screaming Mary" - was the spokeswoman for the Islamic terrorists who stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days - subjecting them to beatings, starvation, and mock executions.

In 2014, the Obama Administration granted visas to her son and his family to enter the United States. In June 2016, the Obama Administration gave them lawful permanent resident status via the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program.

This week, I terminated their lawful permanent resident status and today, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending their removal from our country.

Her family should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country.

America can never become home for anti-American terrorists or their families - and under the Trump Administration, it never will.

The CIA to the pro-American chimps

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living lavishly in the United States.

Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the "Great Satan."

This week, I terminated both Afshar and her daughter's legal status and they are now in ICE custody, pending removal from the United States.

The Trump Administration will not allow our country to become a home for foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist regimes.

Why does a moon base cost 1/3rd the price Biden spent connecting zero homes to rural internet?

The Kurds helped us defeat ISIS and now they’re going to go toe to toe with the IRGC. They deserve a state.

At this rate, if the Iran War lasts another 18 days it will cost the equivalent of buying the Dallas Cowboys franchise. The only difference is that the US Military is expected to win.

[John Dunham @JohnnyBoy2597]

@PalmerLuckey I can’t help but think the Roadrunner-M could help against the Shahed drone threat from Iran. Could Anduril scale enough to the get the unit cost down to make sense?

Are you hoping to have a group 4 or 5 interceptor one day?

Big fan, keep up the great work!

If both the House and the Senate are elected by the citizenry, then one of them is unnecessary.

A bicameral legislature only makes sense if the two houses represent different constituencies. In the case of the USA, the House represents the people and the Senate represents the states.

It turned out this was load-bearing structure, and removing it in 1913 started a series of untapped oscillations that are currently tearing the country apart.

It’s late in the game, but we can still fix it. #RepealThe17th

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The Beatitudes become for us a measure of happiness, leading us to ask whether we consider it an achievement to be bought or a gift to be shared; whether we place it in objects that are consumed or in relationships that accompany us. #GospelOfToday (Mt 5:1-12)

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

Some commentators recently objected to Pope Leo’s revival of the ancient tradition of blessing lambs on the feast of St. Agnes. During the brief ceremony, the animals were gently held, blessed, and then returned to their caretakers. Yet this peaceful and symbolic moment was criticized as a form of cruelty and even as a violation of the spirit of Laudato si, on the grounds that the lambs were momentarily confined.

Such reactions illustrate a tendency in certain quarters of contemporary Catholic commentary to impose ideological lenses on practices that are at once traditional, humane, and sacramental in character. The impulse to read malice or contradiction into ordinary, even tender, gestures reflects a deeper anxiety to police symbols rather than to understand them. When every action is treated as a political statement or a moral transgression, reverence gives way to suspicion and common sense is displaced by performative outrage.

What these episodes reveal is not a newfound moral sensitivity but a loss of proportion. The Church’s rituals and symbols, especially those rooted in centuries of tradition, deserve to be interpreted with charity and theological depth, not subjected to the reflexive judgments of the culture wars.
