Failing the Basic Test of Military Leadership

That is seeing that your guys are cared for. Kegseth has failed that, miserably.

Military families and Congress members are sounding the alarm about an intensifying mental health crisis onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, as its 5,000 sailors and marines endure a record-breaking deployment at sea tied to the war with Iran. ... Mike Levin, a Democratic member of Congress from California, has sounded the alarm over conditions onboard the warship, which is in its fifth month of combat operations against Iran. He described the lot of the crew on X as “moldy showers, broken toilets, laundry down for weeks, long stretches with no hot water, a meal that came down to half a cup of rice and two tortillas. No soap, deodorant, or toothpaste.”

Steam is generated by the reactor plant and that steam is used to heat fresh water for "hotel use". How it can run out of hot water is beyond my understanding.

So is how the Lincoln can run out of personal care items. It's a fucking aircraft carrier, they can land cargo airplanes on it. It's beyond ridiculous that the conditions on warships in the Gulf theater are this bad.

It's a basic failure of leadership, but that's what you get when the SecDef is a former O-4 who was allegedly booted out of the Army for substance abuse and who qualified for his job by appearing on Fox News, and who has fired competent general and flag officers in favor of promoting sycophants.

Also on the food truck were his "executive assistant" (mistress, allegedly), the guy who does his AI slop on Truth Social and maybe a couple other minions.
If Little Marco had any balls, he'd quit today. Bessett has no balls, so fuck him. He can ride Bait Force One and be happy for the honor of being Cadet Bone Spurs's personal human shield.

ICE, Now With Even More Torture Devices

ICE agents will soon be equipped with gloves to help them torture people on the street.

And they're lying about people "almost running them over" with cars as a pretext to shoot them.

these guys are just out of control animals

Every ICE agent is a lying, soulless ghoul. Avoid having any interaction with them. They are beyond humanity.

Shorter Trump: All Y'all Can Die in My Place

Once a draft-dodging coward, always a coward.

President Donald Trump secretly flew out of last month’s NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, on an alternate military aircraft while the White House made it appear that the Republican president was flying on Air Force One, according to a report published by The Washington Post.

Offering up a planeload of people as unwitting decoys doesn't matter a bit to the Orange Coward. He hasn't changed since his alleged bone spurs. He hasn't changed since the only people he ever assaulted were his wives and at least one random stranger in a dressing room.

He's an obese, senile, obnoxious narcissistic coward. And as for those who continue to support him, I humbly submit that says volumes about their own character, or lack thereof.

ETA: There are other places he can hide.

Dismissing These Down, Here













Just Morons

If you take your mdical recommendations from a dementia case and a brain-damaged drug addict, then I feel sorry for your kids.

President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order calling for revamped childhood vaccine recommendations that promote his long-held but discredited theory that childhood shots should be spaced out into separate medical visits.

Next up will, no doubt, be an executive order that declares that the Earth is flat and the Sun orbits the Earth.

Dear Mr. President:

Lake Mead Level.

It's at 1,040'. That's 189' below "full pool" and 145' above "dead pool". That's below the level of one of Las Vegas's intakes. Their deepest one, built ten years ago, is 20' below dead pool.

Make of that what you will.

ETA: What happens if Lakes Powell and Mead fail. (H/T to Stewart Dean)

American Oligarchs Are Assholes.

"What, go help a plebian? Excuse me, you must be joking."

That's pretty much Zuck's attitude.

A small cruise ship operating in Southeast Alaska made an unexpected detour on Monday night to help a 21-foot skiff that ran out of fuel between Petersburg and Juneau.

Michael Love, a software developer from New York City, was a passenger aboard the cruise ship and described the event on social media.

What got his attention the most wasn’t the rescue itself — it was when the captain announced that the yacht of billionaire Facebook owner Mark Zuckerberg was closer and hadn’t answered the radio call for help.

“There was near unanimous booing when the captain announced this,” he said in a post on the social media network Bluesky.

Vessel tracking services in the area back up that account — they show the $300 million, 387-foot yacht Launchpad slowing to a halt outside Farragut Bay as the UnCruise Adventures ship Wilderness Legacy steams around and past the Launchpad, stops at the apparent site of the skiff, then tows it into sheltered Farragut Bay.

I'm sure Zucky-Boy and his minions have a lot of excuses to justify their blatant assholery. Whenever you're in trouble, you can be sure that a member of the American Oligarchy will be there to yawn and watch you die.

I've heard rumors that a number of airports in the Midwest ran out of fuel, which has stranded a lot of would-be attendees.
