So just to recap, yesterday the SecDef announced that Newt Gingrich 83, who avoided serving during Vietnam by STUDYING MILITARY HISTORY and Elon Musk, who AVOIDED THE DRAFT IN SOUTH AFRICA BY EMIGRATING TO CANADA, will help him plan the future of the U.S. Military. #ClownShoes6

If Trump declares Lake Ontario to be Lake America, Carney should start referring to the USA as “South Alberta.”

I can’t wait for the president’s announcement of the coalition to reopen the strait of Hormuz. I assume it will include notable maritime powers Uganda, Hungary and Bolivia. To those in harm’s way, stay safe.

Instead of watching the State of the Union address you could have watched the entirety of ‘Casablanca’, ‘Field of Dreams’ or any of the first four ‘Fast and Furious’ movies, and your time would probably be better spent.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

This is the Greenlandic and Danish Foreign Ministers sharing a smoke after meeting with JD Vance and I would 100% watch a 10-episode Netflix series where this pair hunt a serial killer north of the arctic circle.

Thank god Chuck Schumer isn’t alive to see this.

A Lord of the Rings Cover Band called the Rivendelfonics

This is a good explainer video on Tomahawk missile and its relevance to the Ukraine conflict. youtu.be/D1dQJ4fw-OU?... I really wish the folks at NYTimes had watch it before posting their truly lackluster sidebar on the Tomahawk today. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u... It’s a naval weapon.

As of today, we are no longer even pretending to be the good guys.

What if this was all an elaborate April fools prank?

Uh-oh head of state not in a suit, time to invade.

Trump: doing for billionaires what he did for Rudy Guilliani, Michael Cohen, Atlantic City, the XFL…

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

Since its founding as a remote walled cantonment in 1156, can anyone name for me a time when the Kremlin has been in the right side of history?

ABC news announced they are shutting down 538. Coincidentally, this occurred the day after Trump’s net approval rating went negative on 538’s polling aggregator. In December, ABC news also agreed to pay $15M to settle a defamation case brought by the president. Disney is the parent company of ABC.

A cologne for men over 40. Call it “Experience” and it’ll smell like book leather, pipe tobacco, & single-malt whiskey. With hints of Icy-hot, stale coffee, a McDonald’s hash brown that’s been in your car seat for 6 months and a fart you just don’t care enough to hold in anymore.

Yelp folks, I made it to 11 AM before y’all made me want to start drinking.

For the record, every competent General I knew kept his JAG close by. The ones who didn’t tended to retire as Colonels.

In government, when you move fast and break things, a lot of what you break are people’s lives.

This is the grift. Trump makes some ridiculous noise and then claims he negotiated a deal. That way he takes credit for Biden Administration accomplishments on the border.

Most Government functions are utterly incomprehensible to the current generation of billionaires, because they involve foreign concepts such as integrity, transparency, and serving the public interest.

Jefferson Davis was the Elon Musk of the 19th Century.

In my government position, in four years of the Biden administration, I never received any guidance directing me not discuss any topic, not matter how sensitive. In the past two weeks I have received no guidance except various things I am not allowed to say.

So if I’m tracking the information provided to me by my president, mentally-ill dwarfs are to blame for the deaths of 67 Americans.

Watched Creature Commandos. G.I. Robot may be my spirit animal.

I love seeing GOP congressmen argue that the only real functions of Congress are to defend the Whitehouse in media interviews and obtain favors for wealthy donors.

Folks, can we trust a SECDEF who skips leg day?

Welp, I guess we are now solidly in the “find out” phase of American history.

What if every year the president gave the Medal of Freedom to like the five folks who paid the most personal taxes. They get to be reminded how rich they are and we get the money they would otherwise hide in shelters.

Just for the record, if a 2nd Lieutenant were found to be drunk on duty, credibly accused of sexual assault or relieved for cause for financial malfeasance, any of those would be career enders.

Over president elect Trump’s objections, the flag on all US federal buildings both in the United States and overseas will be at half lower for the next 30 days. I will admit this: only Trump could pick a fight with a deceased hundred year-old peanut farmer and lose.

Four years ago this tweet predicted that the trend towards greater moderation we saw from social media was largely the result of the 2020 election results rather than any new wisdom or patriotism within corporate America. Today Meta removed fact checking and largely proved her right.

I think it’s telling that most of the civil rights advancements of the 1960s and 70s came with the lurking specter of left-wing or radical minority violence, largely absent since 1980. Like, we don’t need to start using the guillotines, but maybe we need to prove we still know how to build one.

I’m not pro extrajudicial killings, but I’m also not afraid of Luigi Mangione. I’m at least 9,900,000 a year away from being afraid of Luigi Mangione and, for the record, I’ve been shot at for a lot less than I make right now. Really, you only need to fear the blue shell if you’re in first place.

Despite the fact <10% of Syria is Christian, the interim government declared DEC 25 & 26th as national holidays. That is, they chose to honor the day Christians celebrate the birth of the Jew who is mentioned more than any other human in the Quran. Maybe getting along is easier than we make it look

Atlas Shrugged is like the Necronomicon but with entitled douchebaggery
