Just watching Nazis melt while I fly to DC...Raiders of the lost Ark. Haven't seen it in forever.
Thank you for remembering Operation Eagle Claw and the tragedy that it was for the soldiers involved and joint operations.
He eased sanctions knowing Russia helped Iran with Intel on American positions...the question remains: What does Putin have on Trump? It shouldn't even be speculation by now.

After a consultation she chose to have him humanely euthanized as he would not be able to walk again and would not have a good quality of life. She is devastated. She picked him up from under a parked truck when he was only a few weeks old and she was his human his entire life. ๐ข
My daughter's 13 year old baby woke up yesterday unable to move his hind legs or tail and was lethargic. The vet revealed he had a blood clot in his spine area and more clots waiting to move and there was nothing they would be able to do.
I live in Tallahassee, which is blue, but not so much a tourist destination.

Yes, some of us are from Florida, aren't maggots, and try every damn day to maintain some form of sanity as we don't want to give up on our state...yet. Considering most of the worst administration ever is from Florida...it isn't easy to defend, i get it.

Had a productive week and some time to explore in Doha-- outside of the American echo chamber. Listening to global voices in person provides a far better understanding of issues and ideas about humanitarian aid, human rights, women's rights, politics, the press, conflict, and security.
More like the new Gilded Age...and what a great age for ordinary workers it was ๐
He is going to be interviewed at the Doha Forum this weekend... his bio says he is representing his 1789 Capitol investment firm. It will be interesting, and I will be there in person watching the room as well as listening to him and providing updates..
I am pleased to announce that I have accepted the invitation as a visiting scholar with the Institute for Middle East Studies within the Elliot School of International Affairs at The George Washington University for the Spring, 2026 semester.

I like Bluesky, but pretty much stopped posting. I had a lot of people follow me when I first joined (a small amount compared to most) and after posting for several months I received zero engagement...so now I just read and comment occasionally. I get it, I have never been good at social media.
I am citing an article from Teen Vogue in an article I am writing. It is on the Greensboro Massacre on Nov 3, 1979, and how it was pushed back in the news due to the seizure of the US Embassy in Tehran on Nov 4.
Yes
