Trump says he could have won the Vietnam war in a week.
No. He would have declared victory after a week, and then once again every week after for his entire term in office.
Combover Caligula spends his life humiliating people over their appearance, calling them ugly, fat and stupid. Meanwhile, he’s hiding a fucking landing strip of a bald spot under that dead ferret on his head.
So whatever you do, DO NOT FUCKING RETWEET THIS.
@TMaher13@mjfree They were court order to pay back to the government, oops they were pardoned.
Democrats wasted billions???
Trump has stolen billions. More if you count the money his family are getting in overblown government contracts.
Wake up dumbass.
@TMaher13@mjfree MORON.
Trump started a war. He also threatened Cuba, Canada Greenland. He took control after Venezuela.
Go easy on villians? Trump took payment to give pardons to hardened criminals. Over a 100 or more.
A large number of them stole from Medicare. .....
BREAKING: Pete Hegseth PUNISHES the poor sailor who jumped off a US Navy ship -- AND his family -- in a heartless show of cruelty and spite!
Nicholas McKelvey was just 19 years old when he reached the end of his rope aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln.
He had spent 255 grueling days at sea, working 12-hour shifts in punishing heat, often without enough food, while his wife struggled to raise their children back home.
He had missed the birth of his baby daughter. His mother-in-law was in treatment for cancer. And when he sought help for his deteriorating mental health, he says the Navy directed him to a chaplain instead of a mental health professional.
Then, one August morning, McKelvey ran across the flight deck and plunged 67 feet into the Arabian Sea.
A helicopter crew rescued him. But instead of treating his desperate act as a mental health emergency, the Navy accused him of FAKING his crisis to escape deployment.
And on Thursday, the Navy moved to discharge him under conditions that will cost him his G.I. Bill education benefits – the very benefits he and his wife had been counting on to build a better life for their children.
“They'd rather blame the victim,” his wife, Samantha Larry, told The NYT.
McKelvey and Larry have been together since middle school. They became parents as teenagers, dropped out of high school and married last year. He joined the Navy in 2024 in hopes of giving his family some sort of stable future.
What he found instead was life aboard an aircraft carrier whose deployment stretched to a near-record 322 days as the war with Iran dragged on. Food supplies dwindled. Contact with home became difficult. McKelvey told his wife he wasn't sure he could finish the deployment.
“I didn't want to be there anymore,” he told the Times. “If I was going to die because of it, then that's just how it is.”
McKelvey was not alone in his existential angst. According to the Navy's own report to Congress, there were EIGHT suicide attempts among sailors in the Lincoln strike group during the deployment.
The Navy maintains that McKelvey deliberately jumped overboard to get out of his duties. Its records note that he wore a flotation vest and jumped when the sea was relatively calm. But one officer acknowledged in a report that the deployment had been so difficult it was “unsurprising that we might have a jumper.”
Now McKelvey and his wife are preparing to return to Florida with their 3-year-old son and 8-month-old daughter. They're staying with relatives and in temporary rental housing while they figure out how to support their family.
“We're going to have to pull out student loans,” Larry said. “It is essentially setting us up for just putting us in debt.”
The Navy kept these sailors at sea for nearly 11 months, sent them into a war zone, worked them through punishing conditions and watched their mental health deteriorate. Eight suicide attempts in a single strike group should have set off every alarm in the Pentagon.
Even if every day of that deployment was militarily necessary, the sacrifices these sailors made deserve recognition, compassion and care.
Instead, when one 19-year-old father finally broke, the Navy accused him of faking it and took away the college benefits he had earned his family's hopes on.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth loves to preach his “warrior ethos,” but what kind of warrior culture treats a sailor's psychological collapse as a disciplinary problem rather than a human emergency?
McKelvey gave the Navy everything he had until he had nothing left to give. Now the institution he served is sending him home to his wife and two small children with fewer opportunities than he had when he enlisted.
If this is how America repays the sacrifices of its young service members, the Pentagon has a great deal more to worry about than its recruiting numbers.
Saw this on Facebook the other day and wanted to share bc I resonate with it deeply:
Someone saw me wearing my Eagles jacket and jokingly said, “How are you wearing that? They’re garbage.”
My first instinct? Throat punch. Obviously. 😂
But it actually got me thinking about something I’ve always believed…LOYALTY.
It’s one of the most important qualities a person can have. And I think being a sports fan teaches you a hell of a lot about it.
Because anybody can cheer when you’re winning…and I’m not just talking about in a game.
Anybody can stand beside you when life is good, the scoreboard is in your favor and everything is going your way.
But what about when you’re losing in life?
When things get ugly? When everyone else has an opinion about why you aren’t worth cheering for anymore?
Who’s still standing there?
That’s what I pay attention to in life.
I don’t have a lot of patience for people whose loyalty depends on how well things are going. The ones who love you when you’re successful but suddenly become spectators when you’re struggling.
The ones who want a seat at your table when you’re winning but can’t be bothered to check on you when you’re barely holding it together.
I’ve never understood that.
Because the people I love? I’m in. All the way.
You can have a bad season. You can make mistakes. You can fall flat on your face. You can go through a stretch where absolutely nothing seems to go right.
I’m not going anywhere.
Now, that doesn’t mean I won’t tell you when you’re screwing up. Trust me, I will. Just ask anyone who has ever watched an Eagles game with me.
But there’s a difference between holding someone accountable and abandoning them when they’re no longer winning.
And I think we’ve gotten those two things confused.
Loyalty isn’t proven when everything is easy. It’s proven when staying would be a whole lot harder than leaving.
I want people in my corner who don’t need me to be having a winning season to believe in me.
And that’s exactly the kind of person I try to be for the people I love.
So yeah, I’ll wear my Eagles jacket proudly. Good season, bad season, embarrassing season. Whatever.
Because I’m the same with my team as I am with my people.
I ride until the wheels fall off.
And when they do? I’m running beside you.
Also…Go Birds. 💚🦅
🚨"THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED!"
A racist white woman throws coffee at a Black landscaping company owner in Long Island, calls the police on him, and then argues in the officer's face while he reads the man's paid work order.
Long Island, New York
Business owner David Tallerico says he arrived in the neighborhood with his crew to complete a paid landscaping job when the woman walked up to his truck, threw her coffee at him, and hurled a racial slur before calling 911.
When officers arrived and verified Tallerico's work order on the sidewalk, she still tried to order the police to kick his crew off the block:
"They're not allowed!"
"Do you own it?"
Tallerico says instead of arresting her for assault and filing a false report, police let her walk with a warning.
If the roles were reversed, would he have walked away without handcuffs?
“There is dysfunction in Philly. It was little things for me. It wasn’t the execution that got me. It was culture things. The number one thing isn’t scheme, a fancy coordinator, it’s culture. In Philadelphia, for the better of the past couple decades, they have had really good culture. Something is changing. When they got rid of Jeff Stoutland, that really pissed me off. I knew something bad was gonna happen. He is a great coach. For him not to get the respect that he deserves, that frustrates me. When guys are getting hit and offensive lineman are near them, is someone going to pick up the running back? He just got hit in the backfield. That culture with Jeff, that would never fly. When we got hit, we were picked up right away by the offensive line.“
