The Pentagon plans to keep National Guard troops deployed through 2029. That’s not a temporary surge. That’s a permanent fixture. Ask yourself why.

McGregor was found liable for sexual assault in 2024 and the jury ordered him to pay the victim $257,000. He lost all his appeals.

New data since last post but thinking is the same. In short:
1) I see potential for at least 6" of snow in central VA from Saturday afternoon into Sunday.
2) I see the potential for some to get double-digit totals.
3) Highs: teens/20s, lows: singles/teens mean slippery, dangerous travel expected.

During a subsequent hybrid class in the same school ─ with mostly White students in the classroom and mostly students of color online ─ an online student’s apartment building was raided by federal officers. The teacher had to stop class to support the affected student, who was rightfully terrified. Class was interrupted for the day as students texted or called their families for support. None of our students feel psychologically safe; learning has all but come to a halt. This is our federal government terrorizing its citizens.

Even students who stay at home from school in Minneapolis are not safe. A hybrid class stopped while a virtual student's apartment building was raided by immigration agents. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/dispatch-f...

As a large, public Minneapolis high school was dismissing students for the day, two teachers parked in front of the school were violently extracted from their cars and abducted by ICE officers. No warrants were presented; no documents requested or checked. Both abducted teachers were US citizens. Students observing the abductions were assaulted with pepper spray by the federal officers, with some fleeing to shelter in the public library across the street. In response, Minneapolis public schools canceled classes for two days and subsequently went to a hybrid attendance option ─ because, as they told parents in an email, they did not feel they could keep their students safe. This is our federal government terrorizing its citizens.

Students and staff at public schools in America are being terrorized by paramilitary forces.
This is an entirely factual description of what is happening. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/dispatch-f...

Remember, being shot by police while you’re violently attacking the US Capitol is murder,
but not wanting to let masked government thugs into your car means you deserve to be murdered.

Imagine believing, and getting mad about, Somali daycare centers having contributed $35 million to the Democrats - a nonsensical, demonstrable, obvious lie.

And yet some *billionaires* believed it and then spread the lie over on Twitter.

Some of the richest people are some of the dumbest.

Initial investigations indicate that the fire may have started when 'fountain candles' attached to champagne bottles were held aloft too close to the ceiling, the local prosecutor said reut.rs/4jn2Koh

Google to send out $20 YouTube TV credits on Sunday if its big Disney fight doesn't get resolved Google to send out $20 YouTube TV credits on Sunday if its big Disney fight doesn't get resolved

Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives.

All on the taxpayer’s dime.

Massive thunder strike abt 10 minutes ago—shook the entire house despite the below-grade concrete foundation. Sounded like an explosion on our street. That storm line’s moving toward #RVA in the next hour or two. Intense for October! Anyone else in #LouisaVA or #Cville #AlbemarleVA feel it? #VAWx

Passed EIGHT firetrucks on 29 this evening heading into Forest Lakes / Hollymead area. #Cville are we okay? Absolutely not typical fire response

Someone should tell the President what happened when a previous President forcibly occupied Baltimore City with the military

Reminder to my Cville friends: the start of public schools and return of UVA students inevitably results in an upturn in COVID (and other respiratory illnesses). This is a good time to start wearing a mask indoors again.
