Hegseth removed Chappie James's portrait from the Air Force Art Gallery and left the wall empty.
James flew 179 combat missions across two wars. First Black four-star general in US military history.
Curry passed that portrait every day for a decade. When it came down, he retired.
The wall is still empty.
I want to give you guys some facts about General Chappie James. He wasn’t a “DEI” hire—he was a complete badass that had to overcome MORE than any white pilot. Did 178 combat missions—that’s like 7 bomber tours on a B-17 in WWII.
His medal count? Impeccable. 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 14 Air Medals, Two Legions of Merit, and a Defense Distinguished Service Medal. One of the original Tuskegee Airmen, the first four-star African American General.
Hegseth couldn’t sniff the level of soldiering and warrior that was in Chappie’s DNA. God bless him. And Hegseth took down his picture from a hallway like a racist little child, which is what he is.
There is a simple solution to the problem of Irish alumina ending up fueling Russia's war machine, and it could be implemented within months:
Ban alumina exports to Russia.
🚨According to the Irish Times, there are now two Irish political parties officially calling for sanctions on Aughinish Alumina’s trade with Russia: The Social Democrats and Green Party

I’d like to remind everyone that four years ago, the online morons obsessed with “biolabs in Ukraine” were dead serious when they claimed that Russia was “forced” to invade Ukraine because scientists there were developing “viruses” capable of selectively killing only ethnic Russians.
Yes, it’s all that imbecilic.
.@PeteButtigieg is right on 13 justices & need 18-year term limits.
Republicans took the Court to 10 under Lincoln, cut it under Johnson, & expanded it to 9 under Grant. FDR's plan ended the Lochner Court. Our generation must reform the modern Dred Scott Court.
Applebaum: The Trump administration often seems uninterested in human beings, not Americans facing inflation, not Iranians under bombing, not Epstein victims.
It is focused on clips, engagement, visuals and what the online world will say. 1/
Russian agent Tulsi Gabbard does a final service for the russian terrorist state.
The United States has no capacity to deal with treason such as hers, which is why it has been so easily defeated by the Putin regime.
A completely dishonest characterization of facilities engaged in benign basic biological, medical, and veterinary research. It is no different from research performed in the U.S. or Europe.
Ukraine only has a few facilities rated BSL-3 and none rated BSL-4.
O'BRIEN: There've been no US peace efforts in Ukraine. Since Trump became president, he tried to get Putin best possible deal on Ukraine, tried to force Ukrainians give up their territory and people. That’s not peace. United States doesn’t want peace, it wants success for Putin.
Trump has now used the Situation Room to coordinate the Epstein cover-up.
To Trump, the real national security emergencies are planning illegal wars and covering up the evidence of his longtime involvement with the Epstein network.
Now that SpaceX is preparing for its IPO, it's a good time to remind people who Elon Musk is. In addition to becoming the world's first trillionaire, he has publicly defended sex traffickers and pedophiles, even asking Epstein to be invited to his "wildest parties."
This tweet has since been deleted - let's not let people forget:
Released defenders of Mariupol report on torture and deaths of Ukrainian POWs at detention facility in Russia’s Kamyshin
During interrogations, POWs were beaten and tortured with electric shocks to extort confessions that they had murdered civilians.

Russia has sent their Kremlin state TV host Chay Bowes from RT to Ireland to defend their refinery. It shows they are genuinely worried about it getting sanctioned.
On the plus side all the signs are in russian so it was easy for them to find the place to make their propaganda

"Within 24 hours, there is a high probability that the enemy will use a medium-range ballistic missile from the Kapustin Yar test site. Do not ignore air alert signals!" - the message says.
