bird regime propels creepy degenerates to high military command
We’re talking here about Col. Josh Gaspard, who parachuted into Bashur during the 2003 invasion as a 2LT, then a year in Afg, then company command in surge-era Iraq. His Columbia degrees aren’t even in the “woke” social sciences, they’re in industrial engineering and engineering management systems.
The vast majority of killings in Mexico are done with illegally smuggled guns from the US (there are only two legal gun stores in the entire country). Should Mexico be allowed to adopt the “Trump doctrine” of simply blowing up suspected gun smugglers from the US?
mandatory endocrine screening for US troops based on what, please?
https://www.reuters.com/business/hea...rt-2026-09-02/The U.S. Pentagon issued detailed guidance on Wednesday for a new, mandatory testosterone deficiency screening policy for active-duty and reserve service members age 30 and older, a follow-up #to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's July announcement.
The guidance, which is effective immediately, establishes standardized screening and treatment pathways for men and women that the Pentagon says are aimed at improving military readiness by identifying and managing hormonal and energy-availability issues.
off-label testosterone for postmenopausal troops, why?
The do ent lays out guidelines for when it is appropriate to prescribe off-label testosterone in women, namely for postmenopausal women with unusually low sexual desire.
Doctors have raised concerns that broad testosterone testing could lead to unnecessary, or potentially harmful, treatment, saying there is little evidence that universal screening for low testosterone among military personnel would improve U.S. combat readiness.

"On Wednesday, the Pentagon posted the 'Clinical Guidance for Health and Human Performance Optimization' on its website. #By Thursday, the memo and an accompanying statement had been removed."
Venezuela is btw only an apparent win
We can't rule it past the short term...it's yet another incipient imperial quagmire Trump promised to keep us free from
supporting a friendly socialist dictator may not work out well this time either
how'd that work out in Iraq?
y detail from a good article about a real military badass, Gen. Christopher Donahue
Hegseth’s nickname in the Pentagon is “No Tab Pete”—because while in uniform he had none of the patches such as “Ranger” and “Sapper’ that signify special combat skills.

https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-...ete-sea-tours/The Navy will now require naval aviators to serve past their minimum service requirement in order to complete their second, two-year sea tour — the sea service’s latest attempt to boost retention in the aviation community, according to an internal briefing do ent obtained by Navy Times.
The policy applies to officers serving in their first shore tour with a projected rotation date of October 2025 and beyond, and is being implemented due to “personnel shortages across second sea duty billets,” the Naval Air Forces do ent states.
Yes, how could you not?
You guys ever think about how the US has exhausted its offensive and defensive capabilities over a body of water with no political objective to the point of risking strategic collapse in any near peer conflict
forcing Rs to back Hegseth
wouldn't be surprised to see Mike Johnson send everybody home to avoid a recorded vote
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/6...eachment-iran/Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) on Tuesday launched an effort to impeach Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, citing the Pentagon’s military actions against Iran.
Massie, a frequent critic of President Trump, accused Hegseth of launching an illegal war that was not approved by Congress. He introduced articles of impeachment on the House floor against Hegseth for “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
Massie also took the remarkable step of making his resolution privileged, meaning he’s forcing it to the floor for a vote. By House rules, that vote must come within two days.
He argued that Hegseth violated “his oath to support and defend the Cons ution of the United States” and violated “his cons utional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, especially with regard to the commission of war.” He added that Hegseth has “abused the powers of the Department of Defense.”

The Kentucky Republican read his impeachment resolution on the House floor, where he accused Hegseth of shredding safeguards intended to protect civilians during U.S. military operations.
“Secretary Hegseth thereby effectually effected the murder of civilians and abused the trust of men and women under his command by requiring them to conduct military operations within a targeted and legal review system that he had deliberately degraded,” Massie said.
if they're proud of it, why hide the ball?
even Vichy CBS News reports the bads
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-pho...kId=1009162272New photos obtained exclusively by CBS News reveal for the first time the widespread damage and destruction of buildings and vehicles at multiple U.S. positions across the Middle East, as a result of Iranian missile and drone attacks.
The images were sent to CBS News by active service members on condition of anonymity because of rigid media restrictions within the military.
"This is major damage to our bases that hasn't been communicated to the American public," one deployed service member told CBS News. "We're standing there with our eyes closed getting punched in the face."

One photo, taken at Prince Sultan Air Force Base in Saudi Arabia, shows a direct hit on the back half of a Boeing E-3 Sentry four-engine aircraft, its tail severed from the charred fuselage that also supported a rotating radar that is essential for collecting midair intelligence.

Other photos taken from the base show hollowed-out buildings and barracks whose s s ironically stand next to unaffected cement "T-wall" structures, which were once regarded as critical fortifications against grenade and mortar attacks but proved critically ineffective against an aerial assault.
Similarly grim pictures were captured at Camp Buehring in Kuwait, a major staging area for U.S. Army ground troops, armored vehicles and some aircraft; the post is located in a remote desert region far northwest of Kuwait City.

The Defense Department's inspector general this week released a fresh report on the war in Iran that revealed "equipment losses" worth up to $3.7 billion — including nearly 60 aircraft. In a first-of-its-kind mandatory report to Congress, the inspector general added that U.S. Central Command reported Iranian strikes at U.S. bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman and Jordan.
The Pentagon did not respond to a request for comment.

"These are not 'squirters' getting through," the service member added, referencing language used by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after the deadly March 1 attack on Port of Shuaiba in Kuwait that killed six U.S. troops. "We're not defending these bases. We're just watching them get destroyed."

would be nice if we had no confidence votes to remove corrupt/incompetent/oppressive governments
called it
Mike Johnson did the same thing last year to postpone a vote on releasing the Epstein files
The highlighted days are legislative days -- working days, in common parlance
Congress is loafing hard for your money
House GOP leaders cancel votes on Thursday - sending lawmakers home later today until after the elections. That means the House can avoid a vote on the Hegseth impeachment plan from Rep. Thomas Massie R-KY.
