Cycling to Panda Express and my Dodger winnings. Beautiful woman walking past sees my endorphin high and smiles at me. Surprised, I smile too and say hello. She brightens and says hello back. I notice the ring on her finger, nod and go in as she walks away. Nice moment.

Saying that Ukraine is winning is no longer tinged with wishful thinking; it is simply acknowledging the facts on the ground. lnk.thebulwark.com/4fotHbw
Yes, Russia Is Losing the War in Ukraine
And Putin seems to be the last person not to know it.

“She asks me ... ‘Mom, how many people have you killed?’ [I] tell her: ‘Sweetheart, Mom doesn’t kill people.’” There is another question her daughter has been asking: “Mom, will you teach me to fly like you?”
“I tell her, ‘Of course I will.’”

This whole exchange between Rand Paul and Markwayne Mullin is revealing—of Mullin's awfulness. Damning stuff. We broke it up into a few parts.
Paul: "Tell the world why you believe I deserved to be assaulted from behind…Tell me to my face why you think I deserved it. And while you're at it, explain to the American public why they should trust a man with anger issues to set the proper example for ICE and Border Patrol agents."

I'm a few months older than Rogan and the only time I ever heard of anyone with measles was an old re-run episode of "Leave it to Beaver." I also remember chicken pox and the two weeks it took to get over it.
Rogan is one (1) year older than I am. And no, measles was NOT everywhere when we were kids. NO ONE I knew got measles. We all got CHICKEN POX.
This clown's thinking of chicken pix.

Yeah, this dum dum is talking about chicken pox.

From Sobel and Jessup to now William Calley. To what other depths will Hegseth lead our military?
Q: "A new WaPo report says that Secretary Hegseth called for everyone aboard the first suspected drug boat that was targeted to be killed when two people survived…with a follow-on strike."
Sen. Tim Kaine: "If that reporting is true it…rises to the level of a war crime."

Hegseth ordered the code red and he's proud of it. From Sobel to Jessup, what other bad military trope will he play out?
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
