#NoPlaceofWelcomeorRefuge in all the world for these, who’s rules of engagement are the same for 13 year olds and war.

While avoiding the benefits due to service men and women of serving in a declared war zone. No place of refuge or welcome for MAGA. #NoRefugeorWelcome

And that none of the special coverage and benefits that accrue to serving in a Congressionally authorized war zone will apply to the sons and daughters in harms way. No welcome and no haven in all the world to these bastards

Young lives for old egos. Ever thus. No particular grace that Johnson, Nixon, McNamara, and Kissinger sent us to die, already knowing we’d lost, but were not themselves fools and incompetent like the current bunch.

Ah, MAGA. Look at your kids. Primed for the knacker’s yard. What did you gain against what you stand to lose?

You have no idea of the anguish Kash-and-Carry and Fiddy Gran’ bring to those who have served honorably and cling to the hope of somehow finishing honorably as Federal law enforcement officers

MAGA may try to scrub the dark stains. Others the sacrifice and dignity. So long as a tattered copy of any James Lee Burke Robicheaux and Purcel novel remains to be shared they are doomed.

Live Updates: Supreme Court’s Tariff Ruling Adds New Uncertainty in Global Trade

As the businesses plan the clawback, the ultimate payers hear crickets. Maybe some billionaire, less calloused, hears in the distance the greasy slide of the guillotine and the click of Madame’s needles. Schumer ponders a letter.

We seem to be see-sawing between prix fixe and a la carte as the media universe expands and contracts. A donation to my PBS station of less than any of my streamers opened the app and even better gave me access to binge the new Maigret and others.

@profwriter.bsky.social I have been binging Martin Walker, alternating between audio and Kindle. What a better place to be is St. Denis these days. However, this also popped up and so good things in the offing one hopes. Bernie Gunther is a favorite

Brava. Bloodlust runs strongest in those who have not done violence or had it done upon them and too many urge it for others and not themselves. The AR-15 crowd pays no attention to modern warfare. Old Donald dies a little every day. Hold true and organize the vote and let him finish his final task

NYC's socialist mayor to shut down 'gifted and talented' Zohran Mamdani plans to eliminate NYC's public school system's gifted and talent programΒ at the kindergarten level.

It’s been a rough stretch for hack reporters in NYC. First the NY Post’s β€œThe gun that did not fire maybe fired itself” coverage of the Pretti killing; now this gem of right wing nonsense. Pity the lives derailed of those who were denied Gifted and Talented at age 5.

On the upside, it would keep a bunch of the Constitutional carry, β€œarmed to resist tyrannical government” crew home under their beds for the duration

Some 2A folks know their stuff, but the permitted/open carry goofs I know have more fantasies than Disney Studios. They think it’s not going to be them, when in a real police state it’s them first.

Alex Pretti should be with us still, gun or no gun. 2A bullshit like this leads to folks carrying guns to places where the right to do so is a bad decision. If you’re not prepared to gunfight, with odds you’ll lose, leave the gun home.

Maggots? Violence? You want to the instrument of extermination? It’s all over the top on the electronic bullshit exchange. They, Dave? All of β€œThem?” Too many β€œThem” in my life, brother. Bad enough to have to deal with β€œUs”. The us that chose this shame, the us that couldn’t stop it. Find the win.

I know some of those troops, Dave. It’s why the ranks have to be swollen with $50k bounty speed trained garbage. But play the defund and abolish song until the bridge collapses on you.

ICE can be right sized, purged of bounty men, directed at its necessary mission, and brought to heel. The challenge will be the Executive Branch. Surprised you’re laying the sins of generals on troops, although some troops must also answer.

Some cold comforts,

The Minnesota Statute of Limitations on Homicide is never. The statute of limitations on the Trump administration is 3 years.

In a civil suit, β€œFucking Bitch” sounds like punishment rather than necessary action to prevent death or injury.

Any Federal agents can X,Y,Z. Yeah, but. Primary experience and expertise in benefit fraud resides with the IG of the agency responsible for administering the benefits. They should lead any effort. More blustershit from the cosplay cops.

HSI began as ICE. When Customs rather than INS dominated the leadership, they did a name change in part to bury the migra connection.

ICE was fine under Bush, Obama, Trump 1, and Biden. Now badly missioned, led, and bloated with bounty goons, it is a disgrace. As the world sees clearly, and too many want to lay elsewhere, the problem is 71,000,000 U.S. voters and nothing changes for all our rage until they are. The plan for that?

Better maybe than the tropes I’ve known IRL per the below. I think I’m generous although my wife would disagree. Classic puzzle, I’m in. True to life do the research or get a competent editor. Here, I’m just things I’ve enjoyed and hope others will.
