Nunca vi desrespeito tão grande de autoridades e figuras da alta cúpula do governo americano que precisasse ser repreendido por um guarda do 3º Regimento de Infantaria do Exército dos EUA, conhecido como “The Old Guard” (A Velha Guarda), no Túmulo do Soldado Desconhecido.
O guarda repreendeu verbalmente o secretário de Guerra, Pete Hegseth, e assessores de alto escalão na quarta-feira, após alguns rirem e conversarem em voz alta diante do túmulo, em Arlington.
O porta-voz do Pentágono, Sean Parnell, declarou à CNN: “O Secretário e todo o Departamento sempre honraram, e sempre honrarão, os sacrifícios feitos pelos nossos militares para manter a segurança dos Estados Unidos. Ao comemorar este dia solene, um militar lembrou, de forma correta e respeitosa, que todos deveriam manter o decoro.”

This exchange just happened on the Senate floor.
Cornyn: “I don’t understand how the SAVE Act disenfranchises voters.”
Durbin: “Happy to explain. Driver’s licenses don’t qualify under the bill. 50% of Americans don’t have passports.”
Cornyn: “Why not just amend it?”
Durbin: “When’s the last time the Senate actually amended a bill?”
Silence.
The SAVE Act requires passport-level documentation to register to vote.
50% of Americans don’t have a passport.
The people least likely to have passports: the elderly, the poor, rural Americans, young first-time voters.
The people most likely to have passports: wealthy Americans.
This is not voter protection.
This is voter selection.
And when a senator suggested fixing it — his own colleague couldn’t name the last time the Senate amended anything.
That’s the Senate in 2026.

To the family of the young Tomb of the Unknown Soldier guard who had enough courage to put Hegseth and his group in their place out of respect for the solemness of the ceremony, America owes you a debt of gratitude.
Thank you.
That boy was raised right.

If you somehow think Hegseth was singled out by the Tomb Guard for laughing, you can search online and find *many* videos of Tomb Guards reprimanding people for being loud and disrespectful.
The only difference in those are tourists and kids, not the Secretary of Defense.

I'm so done with athletes and coaches cursing in press conferences and media availabilities. Kids are watching this stuff. It's not classy. Is it that hard to keep your language clean when the mics are in front of you?

If you’ve ever been to the spot at Arlington where Hegseth got reprimanded, you know it’s one of the most solemn, heaviest, emotional places in America. Most would never dream of being loud or laughing while we are there. But Hegseth, on Vet’s Day of all days, is a classless ass.

A single clip that captures the way this entire rotted regime sees our troops.
Fucking disgraceful.

BREAKING: On Veterans Day, a guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery had to SHOUT at a group that included Pete Hegseth and other senior officials after laughter broke out, demanding silence and respect.
This is one of the most sacred places in America, honoring service members who gave their lives and whose identities remain unknown.

8 Craighead County teams playing in the same gym, on the same day……looking forward to our best Tip-off classic schedule we’ve ever had. Make plans to be there. Special thanks to our sponsor Hytrol.

Tom Izzo is the man
“Things haven’t changed in 30 years. If you guard better, you rebound better, and if you rebound better you run better. If you defend, rebound, and run you have some success”
It’s really a very simple game

We’ve created a school system where the students who follow the rules get the least attention…because all the energy goes into managing the ones who don’t.

I guess when Trump keeps saying on Fox that Europe has given us Greenland & we now own it, the hosts are either too afraid of him to correct it, too stupid that they believe it, or intentionally feeding their audience a steady diet of lies because that’s their business model.

Voting procedure today. Showed my ID. Answered three questions about that ID. Name, address and DOB. Made my ballot choices. My ballot was scanned and I reviewed it before giving it to the poll worker.
Pretty sure voting is secure in Arkansas.

Donald Trump Jr. warned that Democrats will “make Ohio a state.” Folks, Ohio has been a state since 1803. That’s 223 YEARS. I’m genuinely curious what he thinks Ohio has been this entire time. You cannot make this stuff up.

Last night Trump said he could have won Vietnam in a week. His plan was “going after Ho Chi Minh City.”
Ho Chi Minh City was Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam. Our ally. The enemy’s capital was Hanoi. We bombed it.
He called the presidents who fought that war stupid, then explained how he’d have won it by attacking our own side.
58,220 Americans died in that war. Trump got five deferments. Now he’s telling the rest of us how easy it would have been.
He’s had more than fifty years to learn which side we were on. He still hasn’t. That alone should disqualify him from sending anybody else’s kids to war.
Instead, he’s weighing more strikes on Iran after Tuesday. His administration has reportedly considered using the “mother of all bombs,” the one he calls “like a tiny nuclear bomb.”
The man who thinks we should have bombed our ally’s capital gets to choose the targets.

"Avrei potuto vincere la guerra del Vietnam in una settimana. Hanno continuato a bombardare le foreste per anni invece di puntare su Ho Chi Minh City".
Ho Chi Minh City (allora Saigon) era la capitale del Vietnam del Sud, alleato degli USA nella guerra.
