"When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."

Have other presidents abused or ignored the War Powers Act?
Yes.
But that doesn't mean it should be ignored when the current president does it.

These hearings will likely take a different tone in January 2027.

Or the headline could read:
"Kristi Noem Lied to Congress While Under Oath About Top Aide's Role in DHS Contracts"

Why the soft language?

Is it because the Dow is no longer over 50,000? They should ask her about that.

That’s the path I take the Sweeney haters.
A GM’s job is to build a team that can win the Cup. After that, he can’t control the outcome.
2019 and 2023 coulda/shoulda won the Cup.
Sweeney did his job, the players didn’t.

Be fair to Kash. He just played in the gold medal winning hockey game for team USA and beat Canada. I even saw him chugging beers with his teammates and wearing the medal he earned.

I had a similar situation where the landlord said he was not responsible for providing salt for our hilly driveway/lot. I researched which salt was the most corrosive to asphalt and used that one.
Probably needed to repave a few months later.

Me: My back is sore from all the shoveling.
John: Yeah, mine too from flying back from the Olymp...

Wait, that one might not work so well.

"May I introduce you to my new friends, Milo and Tina?"
Who are they?
"Oh, they are the Olympic mascots from Milan. Look, here's a photo of me with them on the ski mountain!"

How about:
"I just got home from watching my nephew compete in the Olympics, what have you been up to?"
