So you remember this corny Black Hawk Down scene that showed the cultural divide between Delta and the Ranger Regiment guys? The captain in this scene is Michael Steele, he's a real guy. He later became commander of the 3rd brigade of the 101st Airbone. The unit Hegseth was attached to in Iraq.

The strategy next time should be to indict everyone for everything, everywhere. The ex-president, if alive, should get a hundred indictments, spread across as many districts as possible, with as many state charges separately brought as possible. Cabinet members and aides should get dozens.

The SCOTUSblog story is a difficult one. I've known those involved since, more or less, its start. It has done so much good — and the site has been good to me and my work over the decades. I am both friends with and greatly respect Amy Howe. But, the SCOTUSblog of today is different.

Part of what got us here was tolerance for the ethical insanity of "we can compromise b/w the people who believe abortion is murder, and who believe forced pregnancy is slavery, by letting the states decide;" it doesn't work any more than letting the states decide if you can own a human being works.

everyone lucked the hell out on the terror attack today where the co-pilot stabbed the pilot, passengers took down the attacker *and* there seem to have been two off-duty pilots who were able to land the plane safely. Could have been one of the worst attacks for a while otherwise.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

right, yes. the thing about tradwife culture is that the only responsibility the patriarch has is to properly dominate his wife. note that the tradwife content is frequently the household's primary source of income -- in reality, the husband is something more like a pimp.

Huh. The Daily Wire is reporting something that would be *enormous* if true, as since July the majority of all ICE arrests are people with no criminal record. I am deeply skeptical of such a massive operational change, given how the White House/DHS keep bragging about setting arrest records.

SCOOP: ICE officers across the country were told this weekend to stop arresting non-criminals, agency sources tell @realDailyWire
Now, ICE may only arrest illegal immigrants with criminal convictions or charges for the time being, said the sources.
The change also ends so-called "collateral arrests,
" sources said, meaning officers who find a criminal target alongside others in the country illegally may detain only the target.
