But we need tall women too

Tweet by “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth: “The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.” Below there is a video of the announcement for his many, many illiterate fans

Behind Hegseth’s big stupid face, a painting can be seen.

The painting is of George Washington crossing the Delaware. It is by Emanuel Leutze.

An article from the National Parks Service: Smallpox, Inoculation, and the Revolutionary War Boston National Historical Park During the 1700s, smallpox raged through the American colonies and the Continental Army. Smallpox impacted the Continental Army severely during the Revolutionary War, so much so that George Washington mandated inoculation for all Continental soldiers in 1777. Just fifty-six years earlier, in 1721, Bostonian doctors and clergy introduced the procedure to the American colonies. Without the vision and determination of these early Bostonians in normalizing inoculation, Washington may not have made the decision to mandate inoculation for the Continental Army. Though it was a controversial action, many historians credit the medical mandate with the colonists' victory in the Revolutionary War and the creation of the United States of America.

We've been gross since we set foot on the shores of America. The treatment of Native Americans, Mexicans, slaves, women in general, and more. America has the potential to be great, but we've never fully lived up to the hype. I'm tired of both sides doing a shitty job. We need accountability now.

Me, with dark hair and a black dress on and a necklace of stars, taking a selfie in my plant cabinet. You can see oxalis triangularis (Shamrock), ficus elastica (Tineke), a blooming orchid (idk types of orchids), an avocado plant, and some syngoniums (one is tricolor red spot) on the top shelf.

You can see oxalis triangularis (Shamrock), ficus elastica (Tineke), a blooming orchid (idk types of orchids), an avocado plant, and some syngoniums (one is tricolor red spot) on the top shelf. This is more zoomed out so you can see the sword and art on either side of the cabinet, as well as the top of the cabinet (a tradescantia nanouk (in the cow planter) and some pothos) and the shelf below the first one, which has a calathea (+ blooming flowers!), peperomia (chinese money plant), another orchid (not blooming) and an echeveria sort of plant in a funny rainbow colored llama planter. He was a gift from a coworker. Also u can kinda see how phat my ass is, nice.

A woman says "I love wearing crop tops, they make me feel so sexy. Plus I get open access to my videodrome stomach cavity." She rotts around in her stomach cavity with a 'squidge squidge.' She presents a device to her friend and asks "wanna hit this vape?" The vape is covered in mucilage.

ive been pushing at this for awhile and it applies to political things too. those of us who are very online keep acting like "everybody knows this" AND THEY DON'T. they simply dont know stuff we've all absorbed for years.

(Washington Post) -- The U.S. military has fired more than 850 Tomahawk cruise missiles in four weeks of war with Iran, burning through the precision weapons at a rate that has alarmed some Pentagon officials and prompted internal discussions about how to make more available, said people familiar with the matter. The missiles, which can be launched from Navy surface warships and submarines, have been a staple of U.S. military attacks since they were first used in combat in 1991 during the Persian Gulf War. But only a few hundred are manufactured each year, meaning the global supply is limited. The Pentagon does not publicly disclose how many missiles are in its inventory at any one time. Tomahawks are prized in part because they can travel more than 1,000 miles, reducing the need to send American pilots into well-defended airspace. The heavy reliance on them in the Iran conflict will require urgent discussions about whether to relocate some from other parts of the world, including the Indo-Pacific, and a concerted long-term effort to build more, said several U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military planning. The dilemma has laid bare broader concerns in both the Pentagon and Congress about the Trump administration's war in Iran, its shifting explanations for why the conflict is necessary, and the potential risks a shortage could pose to the United States as it balances the potential for future conflict in other parts of the world. It is also present as the White House contemplates a potentially major escalation with ground troops in Iran even as it pursues negotiations to end hostilities. The Pentagon has tracked the number of Tomahawks used with an increasing focus on what the burn rate will mean for not only for a sustained campaign against Iran but for future military operations as well, people familiar with the matter said. One official characterized the number of Tomahawks left in the Middle East as "alarmingly low," …

Is it good when Pentagon sources start using terms like "Winchester" with respect to munitions inventories.

A chicken runs towards its flock, in a panic saying "the farmer is coming! This is it, the moment of our last stand!" In closeup the chicken says "mega chicken form!" All of the chickens join together to make a giant blobby chicken body. The mega chicken stands in the field, its arms raised, ready for combat. The farmer approaches, looks at it and says "well I'll be, some sort of chicken homunculus headed straight my way. Has my day finally come?" The farmer gets on his knees and says to the mega-chicken "I reckon I'm but a humble farmer yet it'd be the greatest honor and joy of my life if'n you'd take my hand in marriage."
