Operational Excellence, Strategic Incompetence The president is pointing to the American militaryโ€™s excellence as though that somehow constitutes a strategy in itself.

โ€œThe Americans could find themselves retreating to the strategic incoherence that has characterized the administrationโ€™s approachโ€ฆmilitary prowess cannot clarify Americaโ€™s war aims. As the old saying warns: If you donโ€™t know where youโ€™re going, any road will get you there.โ€ @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Judges across the country have been ordering do-overs that mean constitutional standards. But more recently, they've been ordering outright release, doubting the integrity of the bond process. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

DHS invoked the โ€œnational emergencyโ€ at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign, which has secretly benefited a firm with ties to Kristi Noem.

In the last 4 days one of my senators broke a Marineโ€™s arm, the other one announced he wasnโ€™t running minutes before the filing deadline so his hand-picked successor could take his place without a primary and my rep announced he was giving up his seat as well.

Howโ€™s yโ€™allโ€™s congresspeople doing?

Shame on GAMA for once again not including designers in their "Excellence in Game Design" award announcement.

Last year they promised that this would be corrected in 2026, but again designers are not given the recognition they deserve.

The omission is no longer an oversight. It is a GAMA policy.

โ€œAt the end of the day, she didnโ€™t sound any better than some of these ultra-conservative people who were demeaning Black and Brown folk on a regular basis,โ€ said Rev. Rodney Sadler, a Bible scholar and longtime community activist in Charlotte. โ€œIt felt like a betrayal of the utmost.โ€

Cunninghamโ€™s comments proved so problematic for Sadler that he said he realized that she was โ€œno longer worthy of being our representativeโ€ and he had to run against her. โ€œIt drove me to a point of saying, โ€˜She needs to go, and she needs to go now,โ€™โ€ the 58-year-old pastor, who works at Charlotteโ€™s Union Presbyterian Seminary, told Bolts.

Itโ€™s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

This is what weak and insecure people think confidence looks like: buffoonish bluster and swagger, like a 12-year-old bully. It doesnโ€˜t inspire trust or security. It inspires grave concern for the lives of the people serving our nation whose fate is in the hands of these overcompensating oafs.
