Heads up, folks. Badger’s spidey tingles are often right on the money. Very much hoping this doesn’t mean we’re moving closer to boots on the ground.

Send an email here to tell the PAO just how disrespectful and inconsistent this is with DoD values. I did.

This is an insult to baby penguins.

Virginia moves to forbid schools from teaching that Jan. 6 was peaceful In what appears to be a first in the country, legislation headed to the desk of Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) would prohibit public schools from teaching that the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capit...

Virginia lawmakers have passed a first-of-its-kind bill that prohibits schools from teaching that the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection was a peaceful demonstration or that there was massive fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

My 5 year old told us proudly and brightly at dinner how he comforted a scared first grader during a lockdown at school by explaining all the ways he could tell that *this* lockdown was a drill.

Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die' In an interview with 'Time,' President Donald Trump acknowledged the possibility that Iran retaliates with attacks on U.S. soil, saying, 'We think about it all the time.
