In this morning's reaction to the attack on Venezuela, I find it curious that nobody here or in the media has mentioned similarities to the 1939 invasion of Poland by Hitler.

I just spent the past 70 minutes reading "Slow Time Between the Stars" and I assure you that you have birthed a True Work of Timeless Art. I like all your other stuff too.

Given our recent experience here in New Mexico with measles crossing the border from Texas, I suggest that all states institute a 2 week quarantine on all people seeking entry after visiting Florida.

What's new? All the stores here in New Mexico already have Coke with real cane sugar on the shelves. 🧐

I would like to extend thanks to the editorial sections of all major media who seem to be now in charge of choosing the absolutely most unbecoming pictures of Trump to run with every article. You're doing a great job, folks! Keep it up! 😃👍

As an Army veteran 1966-69, I'm curious why you only want post-9/11 veterans in your organization.

I've been struggling to find the right words lately. Our world is in chaos. The wealth hoarders are pushing to sell millions of acres of land that is not theirs to sell. It's public land, not government land.

I have contacted my Congressional representatives urging them to introduce legislation calling for all federal agents to wear uniforms identifying their agency and bearing a clearly visible badge number.

A 7-year-old lioness reunites with the man who raised her after she was abandoned as a cub 🦁❤️ He slept beside her outside so she'd grow up as naturally as possible. Now she tackles him with love-hugs, face rubs, pure joy-until they collapse in a pile of trust. 🫶 #WildBond #HeartmeltingNature

It is time for state and local governments to arrest masked officers who won’t produce warrants and who have no proof someone is undocumented. Kidnappers should be arrested and indicted and tried for kidnapping and serve the many years such sentences carry.

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

You have to notice that The Leader managed to include hotels in the exemption. I wonder why? 🤔

#Noem #Padilla Regarding the Sen Padilla incident, Kristi Noem said that his approach without “identifying himself” was inappropriate.“I will say that people need to identify themselves," she said. Does she intend to convey this to her field agents, who fail to do so?

After watching the National Guard in LA, I wonder if the tanks are going to leave DC after The Leader's birthday parade. Are we going to see Tiananmen Square repeated on the National Mall? Is there anyone in this country with guts enough to be the one to stand up?

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

Inflaming and provoking violence and division and threatening to deploy military resources against your own people is not a show of strength — it’s abuse of power and a sign of leadership without a moral compass or regard for the law. We are a democracy. We stand strong. You cannot intimidate us.

I was there in 1966 as an Army photographer. I was taking pictures of a football game between our division's team and the team from another division. At that time, it looked like this photo, but a couple of years later, the Army Engineers blasted the Swastika but left the remainder of the structure.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.
