Sorry, but neither war was one of necessity & both have turned out badly. Rather than making ad hominem comments you might try to refute me on the merits (good luck with that), learn from what has gone wrong, or suggest as i have in Home & Away how to limit costs going forward.
Can you only imagine if Joe Biden ever uttered any slurring nonsense like this, what a hail storm of invective would descend upon him from the White House press corps?
No president has ever more clearly deserved impeachment, conviction, and disqualification than Donald J. Trump after Jan 6, 2021. The failure of most Senate Republicans to do their duty will echo for eons. They should be forever defined by their disgrace, cowardice, and betrayal.
This is U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin, hiding from Trump’s violent thugs on January 6th and being protected by law enforcement.
He later supported the pardons of violent insurrectionists who murdered police. Mullin is a coward.
In a brief both-sides-are-equal “report” on #January6th at end of @CBSEveningNews, anchor said: “Pres. Trump accused Dems of failing to prevent the attack; Hakeem Jeffries accused Trump of whitewashing it.” SHAMEFUL! My family watched CBS & Cronkite from 1963 on. No more. Sadly, “That’s the way it is, January 6th, 2026.”
Indigenous actress Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake. https://t.co/xMqSYZVkYp
One cannot love God without extending one’s love to the poor. Love for our neighbor is tangible proof of the authenticity of our love for God. The Lord himself teaches us: “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me” (Mt 25:40). #DilexiTe
After weeks of urging Catholics to stand up to Trump’s raids, Pope Leo says mistreating migrants is “a grave crime against humanity.” https://t.co/75y6FcloWV
Happy to have this article in The Washington Monthly, to show that donors of all types, including everyone from average monthly member to big foundations, can preserve/expand locally chartered public media across the nation. It existed before the CPB and it will continue after.
With the Corporation for Public Broadcasting eliminated, public radio and TV face their greatest crisis yet. But philanthropy can and should fill the gap.

Holy shit -- Markwayne Mullin insists later in the interview again that Obama oversaw actually oversaw the sweetheart deal with Epstein, even after Tapper (accurately) fact-checked him. Yikes.
MARKWAYNE MULLIN: Remember, there was a sweetheart plea deal that was struck in 2009, way before Trump was even considering to be in office, under the Obama administration
TAPPER: No. It was 2008. The US attorney at the time was a guy named Alex Acosta. He was a Bush appointee. He went on to become Trump's secretary of labor
MULLIN: Who was in office at the time?
TAPPER: George W Bush
MULLIN: No. 2009 was when the case came out, and Obama was in office at the time
TAPPER: Not true
“The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said it had treated more mass casualty cases at its Rafah field hospital in southern Gaza in the last six weeks than in the 12 months before that.
It said that its field hospital in Rafah had received 132 patients "suffering from weapon-related injuries" on Saturday, 31 of whom died.
The "overwhelming majority" of the patients had gunshot wounds, it added, and "all responsive individuals" reported they had been trying to access food distribution sites.”
