Sometimes when you say “Heck yeah” to a toddler, this is what can happen. Happy Birthday to our little boys!

FOX: You look at places in Europe, what you get is people waiting so long…

El-Sayed: Do you know average wait time for cardiologist in America is? 2-1/2 months. A lot of other countries don't wait as long to see a cardiologist. The idea that you point to another country and say they failed on this statistic—that we’re not also failing—that is a problem.

Well that’s one of the most compelling answers to that question I’ve ever heard.

[Bishop Talbert Swan @TalbertSwan]

Ketanji Brown Jackson graduated magna cum laude from Harvard-Radcliffe College and cum laude from Harvard Law School where she was an editor of the Harvard Law Review. She had 20 years experience as a lawyer and 10 years experience as a federal judge when she was nominated for the Supreme Court.

They called her a DEI hire.

Mark Wayne Mullin has a high school diploma and a 2 year community college degree in construction management, no military or law enforcement service, and was a cow-calf rancher. He was nominated by Trump as the secretary of Homeland Security.

They have the caucacity to call this meritocracy.

Worth reading this because this is what someone like Ari has to convince himself is true, or true enough, to become devoted to the most repugnant human being to ever hold the office of president without fundamentally changing his self conception as someone who would not do that. But of course the intellectualizing doesn’t work because shame comes from a deeper, spiritual place. So you get this contempt, seething and kooky, off a speech where you can’t find a word to justify it. It’s the mirror, buddy. You are mad at the mirror, and anyone who holds one up.

You could begin by restoring the passenger rights work you rolled back - and then seriously enforce airline laws, like we did. Trust me, it gets results!

And when you read stories like this, remember that these poorly-trained federal agents enjoy sweeping immunities from civil suits when they violate your constitutional rights. Incompetence plus immunity equals injustice.

Both in government and for private clients, I am firmly ensconced in mega event safety planning. Here’s some details that might be helpful:
1) the fbi does not lead USOC security. The State Department does through their Office of Diplomatic Security. FBI is a partner agency; 1/

1. He didn’t bash the U.S., this is a lie.

2. He represented the U.S. more gracefully on the global stage than Trump ever has.

3. You don’t actually give a shit about how America is perceived (see point 2).

Donald Trump served as a judge in a teenage model contest in 1991. The contest featured 14-year-old girls. Recently, the newspaper The Guardian discovered that the contest was a front so that millionaires could have sex with the girls.

“Melania” is a documentary that never comes to life, an orchestrated and airbrushed “portrait” that barely rises to the level of a shameless infomercial and feels stitched together out of the most innocuous reality show outtakes. Studiously celebratory and purged of drama or politics, it becomes a designed from the top down reality show devoted to shutting reality out.

Federal agents shot him ten times after disarming him, Megyn.

If you'd like to live in a country where the punishment for kicking a taillight is a public execution, you're free to leave America.

No one is buying your bullshit. You've lost the country on this one. Go juice your audience numbers with some other rage bait.

José Antonio Ibarra, Johan José Martínez-Rangel and Franklin José Peña Ramos. All are in prison likely for life.

Now that we have settled that, who killed Alex Pretti?

In 2009, George W. Bush invited President-elect Obama and all former living presidents for lunch...

This was two weeks before the country’s transfer of power from Bush to Obama.

Bush, a Republican, and Obama, a Democrat, met privately for about 30 minutes ahead of the wider gathering.

Then former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, both Democrats, and Republican George H.W. Bush, the current president’s father, met Bush and Obama in the Oval Office for a photo session with journalists.

It was the first such gathering of former U.S. heads of state at the White House in 27 years.

“I want to thank the president-elect for joining the ex-presidents for lunch,” the younger Bush told Obama, who stood next to him, nodding.

“One message that I have and I think we all share is that we want you to succeed. Whether we’re Democrat or Republican, we care deeply about this country,” Bush said.

ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler.

"He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!"

Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child.

Mother is detained by agents as the original target of arrest during the traffic stop—according to witnesses.

"They kept saying we're going to put your kid in state custody if you don’t comply... so in the end she decided for the safety of my kid I'm just gonna go."

"I was crying on and off every time I got an angle where I saw the kid. I started crying more because the baby was so confused."

The incident occurred in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. #DemsUnited

Why?

[my book is better than my tweets @MichellCClark]

a hard truth:

you can't grow in environments that require you to stay small. At some point, you have to choose between the comfort of surface-level acceptance and the freedom of becoming who you actually are. both have costs–only one has a future.
