Wemby: “I refuse to carry the burden of having to hide my emotions.” This is amazing.

"Wemby's too emotional." "Wemby should stop crying." "Wemby's gay."
Can we stop with the tired old clichés that treat emotions as a weakness, either in sports or in life in general?
I asked Wemby about why that is. Here's his response:
"That's a tough question. I think it's first and foremost a fear of judgment. Like this feeling that you have to act a certain way, social codes, I guess. Personally, I refuse to carry the burden of having to hide my emotions."

Somehow, JD Vance is all about the separation of church and state now that the Pope is critical of Trump 🤔https://www.foxnews.com/media/jd-vance-tells-pope-leo-xiv-stick-matters-morality-stay-us-public-policy
foxnews.com
JD Vance tells Pope Leo XIV to 'stick to matters of morality' and stay out of US public policy
President Trump posted criticisms of the American pope on Truth Social, calling him weak on crime, as Vance urges the Vatican to stay out of U.S. public policy.

Targeting power plants violates the Principle of Distinction if they serve civilians. Under the Geneva Conventions (Art. 51/52), "obliterating" infrastructure is a war crime if the civilian suffering is disproportionate to the military gain or if the attack strikes nuclear facilities (Art. 56).
​"If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

I had the privilege of working closely with Robert Mueller when he was FBI Director. One of my most treasured memorabilia is his personal challenge coin he gave me as thanks. I know there’s controversy around his Special Counsel time, but he always truly wanted to do what was right. Rest in peace

Yes, the current FBI politicals are horrible. A friend just retired from the FBI as a senior exec and said it’s awful there. Morale is in the tank. The agents set aside politics as a matter of culture and search for truth, and it’s breaking them that their leadership is violating that so brazenly

WH justification seems to be 1) 1989 DOJ memo from Bill Barr says constitution allows FBI to make overseas arrests independent of international law, and 2) DOJ policy says President has authority to use military to protect federal officers. So it was an FBI op w/ BIG military protection That is BS

On a positive note, with Trump's physical decline accelerating, we're seeing his public appearances dialed back further & further. This means they have to trot Vance out more to fill the gap. The more he speaks, the less people like him -> the better the midterms look for reform.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE OFFICE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS
FACT SHEET: THE EPSTEIN FILES RELEASE
Thanks to court seals being lifted as a result of President Trump enacting the Epstein Transparency Act, the Department of Justice is releasing thousands of pages of photos and other material related to Jeffrey Epstein.
• The Trump Administration is continuing its unprecedented support for Epstein Transparency after the Biden Administration declined to make any files public.
• The first Trump Administration was prosecuting Jeffrey Epstein for heinous crimes at the time of his death. The Obama Administration declined to investigate Epstein.
WHY IS THIS MATERIAL BEING RELEASED NOW?
• Prior to President Trump's enactment of the Epstein Transparency Act, various Judges had declined the Trump Department of Justice's requests to unseal Epstein related material. The enactment of the new Law gave the judges a legal predicate they found sufficient for granting the Trump Administration's standing requests before the Courts to unseal the files.
HOW MUCH MORE MATERIAL CAN WE EXPECT TO BE RELEASED?
• The Department of Justice has hundreds of thousands of pages of material to release, including material that must comply with court orders. These court orders can slow the Department of Justice's ability to review and redact material but will not prevent the release of this material.
The Department of Justice has more than 200 lawyers working around the clock reviewing each individual file for release. This is an arduous process, as each document and photograph must be individually reviewed by DOJ and the Southern District of New York for potential redactions to protect victims or potential victims.
WHAT IS BEING REDACTED?
• The Department of Justice is committed to transparency and redacting only what is legally required. The Department is required by law to redact identifying information about the victims, minors, or potential victims, as well as privileged material. NO redactions have been o…

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.
