Don't look at the 2% shit the market just took today or the 10% it's down since I took office!  Look over there instead!  What a sonofabitch, right??  Get mad at anybody but me for any reason!

Hey….look….isn’t that a shiny penny over there on the floor?

George Orwell's "1984" -  the Party controls history by erasing or altering records, books, pictures, statues, and dates, ensuring the present is the only reality and the Party is always right.

To be fair. it does not appear that Whiskey Pete directly ordered the removal of specific books.

Possibly worse, though, is the whole chilling effect of this type of order.

One thing I find particularly galling is that integration of the military has been a leading force in integration of society and the willingness of abused minorities to serve the country that has abused them is a marvel of the best of America.

Edit to add:  Article also says USNA had eliminated affirmative action in admissions, which I initially thought was a blinding glimpse of the obvious in view of the fact that it is a federal institution.  However, I believe that the state of the law is that the courts defer to military judgments of the necessity of affirmative action and similar things, so the academies were free to continue affirmative action before this order.

A close friend of mine is what is called a "Blue & Gold Officer" for the USNA.  Basically, it's a volunteer position where they cover a region and help recruit potential appointees.  They are either USNA grads or parents of USNA students (in his case his son is a grad).  I'm going to reach out and see if he can provide a little more flavor on this bullshit.

Yeah, it's all the savings Doge has racked up by firing tens of thousands of people!

Hey, if we can save a few pennies by destroying America from the inside, we'd be crazy not to do that.

I'll continue my tiresome jihad against the news outlets.

The news reports Trump's absurd lies without getting the least bit of substantiation. The quote is what they're after. It's taught in journalism schools. It's the template: we always quote presidents. We don't dare report that the president had no credible answer for why he pardoned a big contributor to his campaign.

Again, the NYT won't call what is demonstrably true a fact. I'll assume the video mentioned below exists:

The chickenshit editorial policies of major outlets disarm themselves if they won't report facts. On those facts, they could build investigative stories rather than merely being a quote service. They promote both sides in the same way the cable news panel shows do.

Maybe this guy did some fraud, at least that's what I heard from this other guy. I saw the tape, but I can't be sure it exists. The lawyer for the alleged fraud said the video was made by socialist Dems trying to destroy our country.

Lastly:

This is in the muddle down at paragraph 3. IMHO,here's the lede

Trump pardons large donor who now will not have to face prison sentencing nor pay back tens of millions of dollars to stockholders he allegedly defrauded. Milton, head of Nikola, was convicted of said fraud.

I give them a break on the use of allegedly even though you don't have to use that after the allegations are confirmed at trial.

I think we have the replacement for E Pluribus Unum or In God We Trust on the money.

I feel confirmed in upgrading Trump's GOP from death cult to murder cult.

No one is crossing the border illegally at big bend np.  there are handful of Mexican citizens who put some handmade souvenirs on the American side asking tourists to buy them for a few bucks. It’s completely on an honor system. They live on the Mexico side.

Kinda have to think Liz Holmes is on deck.  I dunno, though, chick.

Watson has the additional benefit of being black, because once in a while, Trump throws a small DEI bone.

He throws a small bone in other areas of life as well, according to Stormy.

Absolutely, it's performative. My biggest practical concern about their deployment to Big Bend is the potential damage those Strykers might do to the desert floor if they start going off-road. That might sound trivial but desert ecosystems can be really fragile to that sort of thing.

My wife has been railing about how troops have seemingly occupied Marfa, according to reports she is hearing from the arts community there.

I'm planning to head out there in about a month and will report back.

To bring it full circle for my fellow middle aged Horns, David Beebe was the lead singer for Banana Blender Surprise back in the 90s. Good dude, hung out with him last time I was in Marfa.

Happened to check Sherry Walker.  Non-military, former United pilot.  Lives in The Woodlands.  Anti-vaxxer and general purpose lunatic.

She herself is a DEI hire.  Couldn't get a job as a pilot until 1998. https://ae4hf.org/?page_id=1529

And insists on calling herself "Captain."

Should we start referring to the pilots on here as O Captain, my Captain?  @DaysOff @Leeroy Jenkins

That's why I asked and didn't attack. 

If you're going to post stuff misinformation, please indicate you know it's bullshit and label it as such. Sure, okay, you knew it wasn't true but left it hanging out there without comment. Lots of lurkers read these boards, and posting something like that, again without any indication that you know it was absurd drivel, is just spreading the misinformation for some gullible idiot to read it.

Don't do that.

No, it wasn't clear at all. That's why I bothered to actually check the source. If he meant to post it as satire, then we've got a thread for that.
