You preferred it when: ”Commonly used terms such as “manpower,” “you guys,” “ladies and gentlemen,” “mother/father,” “son/daughter” and “husband/wife” should be avoided, according to the State Department chief, and replaced with words like, “labor force,” “everyone,” “folks,” “you all,” “parent,” “child,” “spouse” or partner” instead.” https://nypost.com/2024/02/19/us-news/secretary-of-state-antony-blinken-urges-staffers-to-avoid-using-problematic-terms-like-manpower-and-mother-father-report/

Just like, if you worked for me, I’d fire you to make my company better. And probably whoever hired you.

It made the FAA better, but had no effect on the crash.

Where do you get your conspiracy theories? Not from the AP: “There’s no evidence that the White House effort to downsize government played any role in the collision, with shortages of air traffic controllers long predating Trump taking office.” https://apnews.com/article/jet-helicopter-crash-air-traffic-controllers-caee8a1e14eb5d156725581d41e6a809

Netanyahu says Elon is a great friend of Israel. Not a Nazi. https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-defends-elon-musk-after-hes-accused-of-giving-nazi-salute/

Trump orders preparation of Guantánamo Bay facility to house migrants The memo will direct the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security to prepare a 30,000-person migrant facility at Guantánamo Bay, a facility in Cuba that has been used to house military prisoners, including several involved in the 9/11 attacks. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5113897-trump-guantanamo-bay-migrants/amp/

Big Pharma is behind the resistance to RFKJr, the MIC is behind the resistance to Tulsi, the Deep State is behind the resistance to Kash.

Someone recommended congress critters wear suits like NASCAR drivers, showing all their sponsors.

He changed the RoE in Syria that allowed us to wipe out ISIS. https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/raqqa-victory-means-trump-defeated-isis-in-months-after-years-of-excuses-from-obama/

You would likely see very different rules of engagement should Trump ever send troops on a mission.

Just surprised at your exasperation, as if it meant imminent life or death.

There’s some discussion of bone thinning due to ozempic. It was really nervy for Warren to question RFKJr about taking money from Pharma when she is one of the biggest recipients?

Clinical trials? Like experiments?

Netanyahu says you’re full of it if you think Elon is a Nazi.

They are absolutely despicable. Expect the same for Tulsi and Kash.

The easy way to get at the cartels without shots being fired would be to go after their money. Their banking. Even their cash purchases. But the reason they don’t do that is because of who is getting the money. And I don’t mean the cartels or their leaders.

Whoa there. You haven’t earned that right.

And I would venture that the cartels wouldn’t stand up too well to those lesser funded, poorer trained forces.

What a concept. Trump administration offers roughly 2 million federal workers a buyout to resign https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-administration-offer-federal-workers-buyouts-resign-rcna189661

Even for those who might have had military training at some time, you know how you guard expectations of a wrestler who’s been out for awhile for injury or other reasons, when they first get back on the mat? What this would be like is him drawing the guy who just went through the Big 10 season 25-0 in the first round of the conference tournament. And nobody has given an example of superior weapons the cartels may possess, while our military has gunship helicopters, night vision capabilities, and are the best armed and trained in the world.

Have you heard the one about the super rich African-American pro-Israel fascist who gave a Nazi salute?

They’re also looking into his insubordination.

This is the new SecDef: Pete Hegseth He took his picture down.

“The Swamp Purge Continues: 60 Senior USAID Staffers Placed on Leave …immediately pause new obligations and disbursements of development assistance funds to foreign countries and implementing non-governmental organizations, international organizations, and contractors pending reviews of such programs for programmatic efficiency and consistency with United States foreign policy, to be conducted within 90 days of this order.“ https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/01/28/the-swamp-purge-continues-60-senior-usaid-staffers-placed-on-leave/ Looks like funds for NGOs are frozen.
