I think more people should get to know Tommy

Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ@padresj.bsky.social

Thomas Teepell is a former staffer for GOP Senator Josh Hawley. His father, Timmy Teepell was a GOP strategist who got Hawley elected. Tommy tried a "gotcha" question about the Muslim Brotherhood during a town hall with Abdul El-Sayed. It did not go as he had planned.

Trump's DHS raids Rep. Omar's home because of paperwork filled out by her late father in 1995. The Trumpists are desperate. But loyalists at powerful agencies of the executive branch will obey orders. Desperation is dangerous. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

Zelenskyy: "If President Trump really wants to have elections, tell Putin give us two months, 60 days of total ceasefire -- 60 days -- and we will organize elections. Of course, we will be ready for any choice of our people."

READ THIS: The man who was the commanding general of Fort Hood when Nidal Hasan went on his shooting rampage, and who signed the actual death warrant authorizing Hasan's execution, is absolutely opposed to televising the firing squad. He speaks eloquently for himself here.

1. Trump’s new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is a prolific user of Truth Social where she regularly promoted Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies, accusing elites in the Democratic Party and Hollywood of running child sex rings and eating people.

The "Party of Reagan" has the United States siding with Russian aggression against NATO allies and a brutal war on a European democratic US partner. Yes, the whole party. If they didn't, they would impeach and remove the president who is blatantly breaking US law to help fund Russia's war effort.

Shameful. Beyond even “5 o’clock follies” level of malfeasance. Pains me to say this as a 28 year veteran, but in the same way the courts have rescinded the “presumption of regularity” for DoJ lawyers appearing before them, we the people can no longer trust any info from the Department of Defense.

Hegseth continues to manipulate the numbers of dead and wounded in the Iran War. The tally of troops wounded during the Iran war was quietly increased by 37 without explanation from DOD. That includes 29 Navy sailors and eight Marines, according to the Pentagon’s database.

Roughly speaking, how many FBI applicants were forced to fuck a goat? And, I am afraid to ask, is that a thing that is happening in wider society? And not trying to victim shame here, but are those who find themselves in a forced goat fucking situation really positioned to be a good FBI agent?

Years ago, Jon Ossoff came into my office as the MLA for a junior Member of Congress and I confess, in my hubris, I dismissed him as an enthusiastic but overly idealistic youngster. It is a lesson that apparently I never tire of relearning. I look forward to voting for him for President.

At a local outdoor venue on the spur of the moment to enjoy a little music. Saw my man here working the crowd. Not like you think. He's walking up to random people and screaming, "Drink you fucking pussy!" Off-putting.

Navy officials told the Senate Armed Services Committee that their service’s share of the Pentagon’s $1.5 trillion budget request was an attempt to counter what they described as decades of underspending while adversaries escalated challenges around the world.

One of the many reasons I was not suitable for long-term military service was that I was repeatedly disappointed by Colonels and Generals who lied on the QTB and falsified the USR. But that was peacetime. Glad I'm not in to see them execute this plan. But my son is....

The Trump regime denigrates NATO allies, lies about them, tariffs them, lectures them that they’re not white enough, shifts towards Russia and against them, even threatens to take their territory, and now MAGA is confused that allies aren’t aiding an aggressive war of choice? How stupid can one be?

Guys, the President was literally threatening to invade the territory of a NATO country earlier this year, to the point where they had to deploy troops to deter it. That has consequences.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.
