For the rest of my life, I'll NEVER Forget how these Fascists refused to honor The Reverend Jesse Jackson to lie in the Capitol.

This was clear from the jump, but the Venezuela invasion going as smoothly as it did, from a pure operational perspective, is going to prove catastrophic in the long run.

And to think that we could go in there and have nobody killed, not lose one aircraft, where we’re going 1,800 miles an hour over a small area with 152 different planes, different planes and helicopters, is pretty amazing to people, you know. You didn’t have a [President] Jimmy Carter crashing helicopters all over the place, that you didn’t have a Biden Afghanistan disaster where they couldn’t do the simplest maneuver. That was a simple maneuver β€” they should have never left from that airport. They should have used Bagram.

#Parasites on the radio!

Rat lungworm disease is a nematode infection carried by snails and slugs that mainly targets rats. Other animals, including dogs, horses, and humans, can become an accidental host by ingesting infected snails.
