For the 3rd consecutive year, @nbc4i, @979WNCI and @GJPepsi disrespects the @SpaceForceDoD and does not include “Semper Supra” in their Armed Forces medley. #Ohio has Space Force Delta’s. C’mon…..do better. #redwhiteandBOOM
We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
NASA has released the first full image of Earth in 54 years.
The photo was taken from the Orion spacecraft, which is currently traveling to the Moon.
The last time Earth was photographed in its entirety from deep space was in 1972 during the Apollo 17 mission. Since then, such images have been created by stitching together multiple shots taken from Earth’s orbit.
Once again @nbc4i disrespects the @SpaceForceDoD and does not include “Semper Supra” in their Armed Forces medley. #Ohio has Space Force Delta’s. C’mon…..do better. #redwhiteandBOOM
Congratulations to @JimTressel5 as nominee for Ohio’s next Lt. Governor. Hearing him speak last month on workforce and early childhood education makes him a great pick. Another great decision by @GovMikeDeWine
Ohio’s history of advancing aviation, aerospace, and national defense runs deep, but what sets our state apart is our readiness to embrace the future. Today, I’m proud to announce that the future of American air power will be built in Ohio! In the largest single job creation and new payroll project in Ohio’s history, @anduriltech will establish a national defense technology manufacturing facility in Pickaway County, bringing more than 4,000 new production and service jobs to Ohio by 2035.
Anduril’s new Pickaway County facility will have far-reaching impacts throughout the state. Ohio has been - and remains - a visionary force within the aerospace industry, driving innovation and growth in every facet. We are proud to join @anduriltech in its mission to transform our country’s national defense, and we welcome them to Ohio, the heart of it all. https://t.co/YlHlpb4mrN
I first met Hegseth when he started running Vets for Freedom around 2007.
He is a highly effective and ferocious media, culture and political warrior for MAGA. And beyond loyal to and trusted by Trump.
I figured Trump would pick probably pick him for Chief of Staff or Press Secretary.
But this…
Hegseth is undoubtedly the least qualified nominee for SecDef in American history. And the most overtly political.
Brace yourself, America.
@mrddmia From your own damn article for proof….
“On the right, Turning Point USA has mobilized influencers for years, raising nearly $200 million since 2020.”
@BillOReilly “This puts them in a position of being semi-comatose chowderheads applauding like over-fed seals every time they hear what they want to hear.”
You just basically described 85% of Trump supporters and 100% of MAGA Members of Congress.
One of my favorite niche genres of hacktastic ass-clownery is the politician or journalist who “demands” X without any authority or power to enforce a demand.
I demand that the ice cream make you skinny and the McRib be available at every ATM.
Okay, now what?
I have known President Biden since 1995, when I entered the U.S. Senate and served with him on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Fran and I wish President Biden and the First Lady all the best as he serves out the remainder of his term and in the years ahead.
Dear Gator Nation and cherished friends,
This isn’t an easy note to write but wanted to give you an update on our family. As many of you know, my wife Melissa suffered an aneurysm and series of strokes in 2007. Back then, the docs prepared us for the worst, but – in God’s providence – she made an incredible comeback. In the years since – from Nebraska to DC to Florida – she kept our family grounded while I missed too many family dinners, little league games, hugs, and tears. She’s the strongest person I know. We’ve battled some nasty seizures the last couple years, but she’s always remained a warrior.
In recent months, Melissa has been diagnosed with epilepsy and has been struggling with a new batch of memory issues. It’s been hard, but we’ve faced it together. A lot of late nights, a lot of hard decisions, and a lotta “what matters most?” conversations. Our two wonderful daughters are in college, but our youngest is just turning 13. I’ve got two spectacular callings in life right now: First, I’m a husband and dad. Second, I’ve been blessed to serve as president of the best dang public university in America – Go Gators! – and I’ve loved the challenge of giving this university everything I’ve got. But here’s the bottom line: Those callings are significantly at odds with each other right now. Gator Nation needs a president who can keep charging hard, Melissa deserves a husband who can pull his weight, and my kids need a dad who can be home many more nights.
After extensive prayer and lots of family tears, I today asked UF Chair Mori Hosseini and our Board of Trustees to initiate a search for a new president of the university. I need to step back for a time and focus more on the needs of my family while we rebuild more stable household systems.
I’m going to remain involved in serving our UF students — past, present, and future — but I need to walk arm-in-arm with my dearest friend more hours of every week.
I’m grateful for our board’s support. Mori and the board have giant hearts – for this university and for this community. It’s easy to see why.
I’m grateful for you, Gator Nation. You’ve welcomed our family with open arms. Professors who change the world, students who pack the Swamp, men and women who do the unsung work of keeping a big place like this rolling (shout out to the third-shift maintenance crews, the early morning cafeteria workers, and the Ben Hill Griffin cleanup team). We love you. You touched our hearts and made this more than a job – you made it our community. That’s why we’re not going anywhere.
Our family is staying here in Gainesville. I’ll be here as President Emeritus and professor, continuing to teach classes.
It's great to be a Florida Gator! … It’s even greater to be a husband and a dad.
With love and gratitude,
Ben
