#6: Kamala Harris and Tim Walz must still be suffering from a Hubert Humphrey/Edmund Muskie-sized 1968 hangover. Thanks, AIPAC!

Pass her the aspirin or a Shin Bet detail to guard her because Dummkopf Trumpf threw her under the bus after Joe Biden extended her USSS protection beyond the six-month SOP.

US Army SFC Jan Robert Carey (Ret.) valiantly served his country for more than 20 years and was deployed to Kuwait, Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. As well as a Bronze Star, this veteran received numerous awards including two Meritorious Service Medals, eight Army Commendation Medals and six Army Achievement Medals.

Have any of the federal jurists all the way from the district judge who will first hear his case, the circuit court of judges who will hear the appeal, or any of the SCOTUS justices ever serve in the US military or did many of them serve themselves to delicious buffets along their illustrious, demanding careers?

#5: Your trouser sausage vignette reminded me of the novel. Read it whenever you get a chance.

"Stupid Communists!"

Thank you, Lamplighter. The American people have had enough war, despite what the TV tumors, lobbyists, polemicists, or Islamophobes push on us on behalf of Israel or the US military-industrial complex. Here is one AI analysis:

As of mid-2025, the American antiwar movement has seen a significant resurgence, particularly in response to Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip. Over one million Americans have participated in protests related to the Nakba since late 2023, with more than 2,100 events held in support of Palestine. These protests have been widespread, occurring on university campuses, in major cities, and at cultural events, making it one of the largest waves of antiwar activism in the US in the past 20 years. These demonstrations is comparable to, and in some cases larger than, the protests seen during the Iraq War, with some individual marches drawing tens of thousands of participants. While the movement is not as large as the Vietnam War-era protests which involved tens of millions of Americans over several years, the recent activism is notable for its intensity, frequency, and the diversity of its participants, including students, progressives, Arab-Americans, and Muslims. The movement has also influenced cultural and political events, such as the boycott of the SXSW festival and disruptions at high-profile public appearances. In summary, the current American antiwar movement is substantial and highly visible, with participation in the millions and a broad geographic and demographic reach.

Hopefully Olivia G. Wilkins made bail so she isn't abused in jail before her court appearance.

Analyzing Texas Republican Gauleiter Greg Abbott would probably yield similarly dismal results.

Unless one is a fabulously wealthy oligarch, Republican governance of the American people in a nutshell:

Like this Republican?

Phatphuq Kim Jong-un is handing out North Korean flags and portraits to the bereaved families he had killed in Ukraine. Like the North Koreans don't have enough of their stupid flags flying in their faces all day.

I guess "His Corpulence" couldn't afford to give the suffering families meat-grinders like the Russians.

Not all the combatants attacking US forces in Afghanistan were Taliban. Groups like the powerful Haqqani Network (HQN) or Al Qaida and ISIS-K terrorists conducted operations against US forces.

Background:

Over 25 years ago, Taliban supremo Mullah Omar had previously warned Osama Bin Laden (OBL) not to conduct external terrorist operations, but OBL defied him. After 9/11 the US invaded Afghanistan, even though no Pashtuns or Afghans participated in those kamikaze attacks on the Pentagon and the WTC. Mullah Omar was stuck between his son-in-law OBL on one side and a vengeance-seeking George "Dubya" Bush on the other. The US became an occupying power for 20 years propping up a corrupt regime.

2,459 US soldiers died in Afghanistan and our NATO allies lost 1,160 personnel while US defense contractors made mammon-sized fortunes for themselves. OBL would eventually be killed in a USN SEAL raid in Pakistan on 2 May 2011.

Endnote: In the 1980s through CIA, President Ronald Reagan had funded, trained, and armed the Afghan mujahadeen-- our proxy allies-- to fight the Soviets. After the Russians finally withdrew in 1989, our proxy fighters eventually became "the Base," or al-Qaida in Arabic.

FYI: Prior to Dummkopf Trumpf, US and Danish intelligence worked together hand in glove. And Danes used to celebrate America's Independence Day on 4 July. Trumpf botched up a terrific relationship.

#3: Agree. The "ahem" former Marine (journalist) might choose fellow Yalie Ron DeSatan or possibly Nikki Haley as his VPOTUS when Dummkopf Trumpf finally graces us by departing for the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns.

#1: It's too bad she used a car to assault these LEO. Had she used a pole with an American flag with pole to beat them over the heads, she would be safe now.

Hi Doc: In terms of GOP imperial succession, where do you suppose the Gauleiter of Floridastadt fits in if JD Vance falls upward into the White House? Both Ron DeSatan and JD Vance play the part of "Aw, shucks Ma'am" fellas, but they're both educated Elis.

We should knock the dust off our copies of the 25th Amendment.

#10: Doctor friend of mine said if the over/under is 4 months. Take the under.
