4 days ago The Pentagon fired the editor in chief of Stars and Stripes. Yesterday they broke the story of Elsie Dominguez, a civilian engineer who was raped repeatedly by the Captain of a Navy ship she was on. They keep trying to silence the press & quash the truth. Elsie’s story must be told:

*placing finger to ear* I'm hearing Brandon Johnson has called bratwurst "mid" and said that he "loves ketchup on his dogs"
coming out against taco trucks is the caliber of self-imposed destruction with very few rivals. I'm thinking Pharaoh in the Book of Exodus, General Custer, Division General Leclerc. Sun Tzu wrote a whole book about not giving your opps this much to work with

David Rohde says that the major logistics problems for the Navy largely come from the fact that the Navy's chief resupply station in the Gulf of Oman was completely destroyed in an Iranian attack, and Hegseth decided to keep it secret, from the public, Congress and the White House.

NEW: Teen boys are using smart glasses — mainly Meta's AI Glasses — to film themselves harassing classmates at school, following girls around and "rizzing" them or "ragebaiting" them w/ insults. In several videos we reviewed, girls plead w/ the poster to stop filming. futurism.com/artificial-i...

I think it gets lost in the sauce that this generation's Admirals spent their formative years doing booze cruises in the Med during the Clinton years only to be safely behind a desk at some COCOM office by the start of the Iraq invasion.
There’s truly something pathetic about the military leadership (Brad cooper in particular for writing this slop) that it basically took family members blowing the whistle for this deployment to come to an end

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

When I was a junior officer in the Navy (2012-2017) I attended a lunch and seminar with a dozen admirals. Half of them were foaming at the mouth lunatics fully bought into a Dr. Strangelove-esque conception of war with China and the other half were checked out and ready for their job at Boeing.
CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper told Israeli officials he is pushing for renewed strikes inside Iran and believes a resumption of the war could shift Tehran’s position in negotiations, Channel 13 reports
On my second ship we had 4 suicides in 2 years because the pace of deployment at the end of the Obama presidency was too much for people to keep their life together
There have reportedly been multiple attempts by sailors to jump overboard the USS Abraham Lincoln as poor conditions and mental stress reach a breaking point. The crew is in its ninth month at sea, and has spent 250 days consecutively without making land, a record

not sure what DSA should do about this, I don't follow national drama that closely, but for the record "Marxism-Leninism" is a bunch of horseshit reverse-engineered by Stalin to justify his reskinned Russian Empire. about as relevant to the modern US as the Council of Nicaea

There are better versions of the article than stale British conservative romanticism. But the comments themselves reveal that most people are addicted to alienation and otherizing the world in a Zone of Terror. Pure Social Media induced psychosis
