OOPS! THAT DIDN'T WORK

Michigan officials have confirmed that a bald eagle attacked a government drone in midair, ripped off one of its propellers and sent it crashing into Lake Michigan?

Glorified Jeffrey Epstein massage table attendant Howard Lutnick is a fucking disgrace.

"Nutlick" ignored classified intelligence warnings and repeatedly stalled export restrictions on Megaspeed, a Singapore-based firm linked to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's affair with a suspected Chinese spy Alice Huang.

While traitor "Nutlick" was enriching himself, America was being compromised.

In the autumn of 1946, an American widow from Philadelphia walked into a schoolroom in bombed-out Tokyo, looked at the 12-year-old Crown Prince of Japan, and told him she was giving everyone in class an English name.

"In this classroom," she said gently, "your name is Jimmy."

The boy stiffened and answered, "No. I am the Prince."

"Yes," she smiled. "You are Prince Akihito. That is your real name. Wait and see, though. In this class, you are Jimmy."

Her name was Elizabeth Gray Vining. Thirteen years earlier, a car crash had killed her husband and left her paralyzed with grief. She found her footing again through her Quaker faith and writing children's books.

After Japan's surrender, Emperor Hirohito made an unprecedented personal request: he wanted an American woman, a Christian but not a fanatic, to open windows to the world for his young son.

Out of every candidate in America, they chose Mrs. Vining.

Until she arrived, young Akihito had been raised apart from his parents by chamberlains who bowed before speaking. Nobody had ever treated him simply as a twelve-year-old boy.

For four years, Mrs. Vining did. Classmates called him Jimmy in English lessons. She introduced him to tennis, Western literature, and Abraham Lincoln, and arranged for him to visit ordinary homes and meet children outside palace walls.

When she sailed home in 1950, the boy she called Jimmy had grown into a thoughtful young man who cared deeply about peace.

Nine years later, when Crown Prince Akihito married Princess Michiko in 1959, only one private foreign guest was invited to the wedding.

It was Mrs. Vining.

Decades later, as Emperor of Japan, he still visited his old teacher in her quiet Pennsylvania home until she passed away at ninety-seven.

Peace between two nations is signed on battleship decks by generals. Sometimes, though, it is built in a quiet classroom by a kind widow from Philadelphia.

Former US Army intelligence officer Josephine Guilbeau, who served for 17 years, stood in uniform and told Congressional Republicans: "For one year, l have watched Israel burn children alive. You don't care about veterans. You don't care about American values. You are destroying this country — shame on all of you."

She also criticized the BILLIONS of dollars in US assistance to Israel — arguing that American veterans are facing homelessness, suicide, and budget cuts while Congress continues funding Israel.

Guilbeau was escorted from the hearing after her intervention. She later called on fellow veterans to speak out against US policy towards Gaza and urged them to support Palestinian rights.

Congress still hasn’t grown a backbone since. They’re still funding terrorists.

I'm going to keep tweeting about this until I have purged my anger. It wasn't just the talking and laughing among Sec. Hegseth's entourage. It wasn't just that they didn't kno what was expected behavior. It's that if you look, you'll see they were there to pose for pictures.

🇺🇸 The woman who co-owned Peanut, the viral squirrel, is now in ICE custody and could be deported 😳

Daniela Bittner was arrested last month at a New York airport.

DHS says she overstayed her visa.

Her husband says they made a form error while dealing with the fallout from the state’s 2024 seizure and killing of the squirrel.

She’s been moved between facilities and is currently in Texas.

The same case Republicans used as an example of overreach is now landing on the other side of the aisle.

Why have we minimized the fact that Elon is in the Epstien files.

On December 25, 2012, Musk wrote to Epstein, “What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?”

On Christmas Day (December 25, 2012): Musk wrote, “Do you have any parties planned? I've been working to the edge of sanity this year and so, once my kids head home after Christmas, I really want to hit the party scene in St Barts or elsewhere and let loose. The invitation is much appreciated,”

Regarding helicopter travel to the island: Musk asked, “How many people will you be for the heli to island”, to which Musk replied, “Probably just Talulah and me.”

It’s time to bring Elon in front of the democratic congress to answer a few very basic questions.

Jeanne d’Arc, a peasant girl, heard voices telling her to save the kingdom of France. Seeing the Dauphin in disguise, she somehow discerned his identity and convinced him to let her command the French army. She then won battle after battle. Mark Twain called her the only seventeen-year-old, of either gender, who had led the armed forces of an entire nation.

For this week's #WeddingWednesday, we have this 1867 sil wedding dress. At this time, the crinoline became fuller in the back- soon leading to the emergence of the bustle. It was accentuated with sashes and large bows like the one here. #Fashionhistory
