Saw Hilary in Hong Kong (hosted by the American Club, US Chamber of Commerce) when she was SOS.

Crap speech. Little turn out.

Mainly staff showing up on command performance.

She looked into the audience with contempt.

This is the Hillary Clinton I know.

As some of you know, I was the Air Force Military Aide for Bill Clinton, lived in the White House, traveled everywhere they traveled, and carried the “nuclear football.” As such, I was always in close proximity to both Bill and Hill.

Among the military who served in the White House and the professional White House staff, the Clinton administration was infamously known for its lack of professionalism and courtesy, though few ever spoke about it. But when it came to rudeness, it was Hillary Clinton who was the most feared person in the administration. She set the tone. From the very first day in my assignment.

When I first arrived to work in the White House, my predecessor warned me. “You can get away with pissing off Bill but if you make her mad, she’ll rip your heart out.” I heeded those words. I did make him mad a few times, but I never really pissed her off. I knew the ramifications.

I learned very quickly that the administration’s day-to-day character, whether inside or outside of DC, depended solely on the presence or absence of Hillary. Her reputation preceded her. We used to say that when Hillary was gone, it was a frat party. When she was home, it was “Schindler’s List.”

In my first few days on the job, and remember I essentially lived there, I realized there were different rules for Hillary. She instructed the senior staff, including me, that she didn’t want to be forced to encounter us. We were instructed that “whenever Mrs. Clinton is moving through the halls, be as inconspicuous as possible.” She did not want to see “staff” and be forced to “interact” with anyone. No matter their position in the building.

Many a time, I’d see mature, professional adults, working in the most important building in the world, scurrying into office doorways to escape Hillary’s line of sight. I’d hear whispering, “She’s coming, she’s coming!” I could be walking down a West Wing hallway, midday, busier than hell, people doing the administration’s work whether in the press office, medical unit, wherever. She’d walk in and they’d scatter.

She was the Nazi schoolmarm and the rest of us were expected to hide as though we were kids in trouble. I wasn’t a kid, I was a professional officer and pilot. I said “I’m not doing that.”

There was also a period of time when she attempted to ban military uniforms in the White House. It was the reelection year of 1996, and she was trying to craft the narrative that the military was not a priority in the Clinton administration. As a military aide, carrying the football, and working closely with the Secret Service, I objected to that. It simply wasn’t a matter of her political agenda; it was national security. If the balloon went up, the Secret Service would need to find me as quickly as possible. Seconds matter. Finding the aide in military uniform made complete sense. Besides, what commander in chief wouldn’t want to advertise his leadership and command? She finally relented because the Secret Service weighed in.

The Clintons are corrupt beyond words. Hillary is evil, vindictive, and profane. Hillary is a bitch.

@DavidArnol88243 @maddenifico You can hunt bear in 33 states already, including Alaska.

And most states allow baiting bears, while the hunter sits in his blind. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

Most states allow luring the sow, female bear, out with her cubs to shoot.

Subsistence hunting is different.

[Catherine Sh. @cathshshsh]

Trump is a real estate professional. He notices what people like Obama doesn't see: plaster cracks, missing moldings, decorations on the floor.

Most of all, Obama never understood the significant symbolism of the White House to us.

Point of pride.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump PUMMELS Barack Hussein Obama mocking his White House renovations as a "Saddam Hussein Cheesecake Factory"

*Looks into the camera*: "For YOU to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a LOUSY president!" 🔥🔥

"He's not a smart guy."

"To President Obama — the WHITE HOUSE IS A SYMBOL OF AMERICA. IT HAS TO BE CLEAN. The columns can't be broken!"

"The way he ran the country, only a STUPID person. We have to EXPLAIN to Obama that the White House is a SYMBOL OF AMERICA."

"It has to be painted and the exterior plaster can't be FALLING OFF!"

"Guys like Obama don't see dirt. Doesn't see filth. Doesn't see broken ornaments on a building."

47 just went full builder-in-chief mode on Hussein!

Hussein spent the weekend sneering at the White House and trashing a restaurant loved by millions of working families — all while building himself a concrete EYESORE in Chicago

Bessent nailed it, calling it "Darth Vader's TOMB" 🤣

Trump is restoring the People's House to the world-class standard America DESERVES 🇺🇸

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

Scott Bessent just ate at Cheesecake Factory to TROLL Obama for trashing it, then TORCHED him:

“This is the man who built the museum that looks like Darth Vader’s tomb... I had a great meal, and I would tell the Martha's Vineyard set to give it a try.”

Total savage 🔥

When did public servants become deities in our country?

Years, I flew back from DC to SFO with Nancy Pelosi on commerical. While she did act imperious, she did get in line with the rest of us 1st class passengers to wait her turn to leave the plane.

This paper answers why confident idiots run the world.

Cornell University published a psychological paper that explains every terrible boss, every loud influencer, and every broken corporate hierarchy.

It’s called “Unskilled and Unaware of It.”

they tested participants across logic, grammar, and humor to measure the gap between actual performance and self-perception.

And the results are wild.

participants scoring in the bottom 12th percentile consistently believed they were operating in the 62nd percentile.

they were not lying. they were literally incapable of recognizing their own incompetence.

the paper revealed a brutal paradox:

the exact skills required to master a domain are the exact same skills required to accurately evaluate your own competence in that domain.

if you lack the skill, you inherently lack the cognitive capacity to realize you are failing.

this creates a dangerous systemic loop.

the incompetent are blessed with absolute, blinding certainty. their brain protects them from their own ignorance, allowing them to speak first, demand authority, and never second-guess their decisions.

meanwhile, the actual experts suffer the exact inverse.

top performers in the study consistently underestimated their rank. because a task was easy for them, they falsely assumed it was easy for everyone else.

they hesitate. they obsess over nuance. they assume they have nothing unique to add.

we are biologically wired to confuse confidence with competence.

the loudest person in the room gets promoted, gets funded, and gets the microphone, not because they know what they are doing, but because they are physically incapable of seeing what they don't.

the only defense mechanism is building systems that stop rewarding absolute certainty and start demanding proof of work.

3 states allow for it. Only some states explicitly ban luring them out of their dens.

Again, pointing out that Trump's new regulation isn't all 50 states, only Alaska federal preserves. 33 states already allow for bear hunting on state land, even worse baiting and den hunting (luring them out).

At least ban baiting and all den hunting including luring them out.

Personal opinion, this type of trophy hunting or sport isn't sportmanlike.

[Catherine Sh. @cathshshsh]

@DavidArnol88243 @maddenifico Nope. It's called subsistence hunting. Already allowed in most states and certain federal land.

[Catherine Sh. @cathshshsh]

33 States already allow for bear hunting with baits and den shooting cubs.

Only the Western states ban baiting.

👉The Trump regulation governs federal preserves. This National Park Service (NPS) final rule, published in mid-to-late October 2026 only is effective on Alaska national preserves.

My opinion, baiting is cowardly - hiding shooting from a blind.

Den killing is no different than shooting fish in a barrel. No sportsmanship here. The hunter is allowed to kill the females and cubs in the den.

[Subsistence hunting is governed separately. This is hunting for sport.]

👉States AND the Federal government should ban baiting and den shooting at the least.

[Catherine Sh. @cathshshsh]

Trophy hunting, especially bear baiting and den shooting is cowardly.

29 states allow bear baiting and den shooting. Only 4 Western states ban baiting and den shooting.

Trump allowing this for Alaska federal preserves only reflects the state allowing for this in State land.

If hunting isn't for sustenance, it makes little sense.

Again, just personal view.

反转来了，原来懂王和马斯克都没有对星链做手脚，是乌克兰自己的锅：

根据“星链”终端内置的GPS数据，当移动速度超过每小时160公里时，终端便会自动断开连接。

为了绕过这一限制，乌克兰方面对“星链”终端进行了破解，使其在任何移动速度下都“认为”自己处于静止状态。

SpaceX公司发现了这一情况，并通过更新系统软件，根据终端在不同卫星之间切换的速度来判断其是否处于高速移动状态。这一举措使乌克兰的破解手段失效，导致“星链”无法再在高速移动中使用。

乌克兰对“星链”的使用方式违反了其服务条款。

SpaceX公司察觉到了这一点，并采取了相应措施予以制止。

OUR POLICE K9S DON’T GET VESTS PAID FOR BY THE FEDERAL GRANT PROGRAM. NOT ONE.

The federal vest grant program says K9 body armor isn’t eligible. Only a couple of states help with care for retired dogs. And no state puts a cap on how many years a dog has to work.

That’s what the ARC Act is built to fix.

Fitted body armor for every working police K9. Lifesaving medical care while they’re on the job. A real retirement, with a limit on working years. Medical care for the rest of their life after they hang it up.

And the agency covers all of it, not the handler and not some bake sale.

It covers police K9s and police horses.

Here’s the part that matters most. No lawmaker is going to move on this on their own. It only happens if regular people like you call, email and keep pushing your state and federal reps until they act.

The full reveal is tomorrow night. These animals give us everything they’ve got. Let’s make sure somebody finally has their backs.

If you were to look at a map of San Francisco, it’s easy to see that cutting off the only western traffic corridor that allows commuters to avoid Golden Gate Park would increase congestion.

Instead of spreading out traffic evenly the permanent closure of the Great Highway has created concentrated bottlenecks in other parks that have roads such as Golden Gate Park, the Presidio, and many across the city. A weekday compromise could help elevate congestion and increase overall walkability in one of the most park friendly cities in the US.

[Catherine Sh. @cathshshsh]

@nursemomdog @maddenifico 33 states don't care that allow this on State land.

Disgusting sport.

[Catherine Sh. @cathshshsh]

@RosemarySalonen @maddenifico So are 33 states that allow for this on State land.

Trump is allowing this on Alaska federal preserves.

Regardless trophy hunting is disgusting. So is baiting and den shooting.

[Catherine Sh. @cathshshsh]

@Robyntheous @maddenifico @ornge_u_glad 33 stupid states allow for this already.

Trump is allowing for this in Alaska federal preserves.

Regardless, it's a disgusting practice trophy hunting.

There's no sport in baiting and den shooting cubs.

[Catherine Sh. @cathshshsh]

@BeeWilson3 @maddenifico So do 33 states that allows for this.

Trump is allowing this for Alaska preserves.

Regardless it's a disgusting sport regardless of baiting and den shooting.

[Catherine Sh. @cathshshsh]

@SuzanneReads @maddenifico No Suzanne. 33 states allow this already.

Trump allows this only for Alaska preserves.

Regardless it's disgusting trophy hunting, baiting and den shooting.

Entire type of trophy hunting is antithesis to a civilized country. My opinion only.

[Catherine Sh. @cathshshsh]

@geegeepow @maddenifico We should have the 33 states allowing this on State land ban baiting and den shooting at least.

Trump's regulation only allows this on Alaska preserves but baiting and den shooting is disgusting. @POTUS
