The Op-Ed is the very definition of brain rot. I can’t include Swallwell in the brain rot. Juan Williams turned himself into a joke many years ago. It’s a shame. He used to be reasonable and worth listening to.
There is a minor point of WAR !
The TWO major Nuclear Powers ARE Russia and the USA .
The arsenals EACH power has is sufficient to DESTROY BOTH Countries !
It's called "MAD", short for Mutually Assured Destruction !
The US is back in charge with adults who understand real leadership. There might not be a war going on in Europe right now, but if the US can lead Europe out of these dark times, it will be the 3rd time we’ve saved Europe from itself.
Russians have hypersonic missiles. We have mutated bass, when we need sharks with lasers.
Grandson # 4 beat a kid in New England Wrestling Championships last year from Maine with last name of "Libby" !
Pothole AND OVER 90 % of the 45,000 people that work at the FAA, other than ATC, did not show up for work at their HQ !
The 400 fired were all late hires with LESS THAN 1 year of experience.
NONE of them were ATC or in ANY aircraft safety position.
Pete should have "BIKED" to work, then he would know !
If we were meant to fly, God would have given us wings.
Accidents happen in the air ! Mechanical or People errors ALL THE TIME. Worldwide probably more than once a day !
I investigated a fatal crash while in NJSP.
Single engine Cessna, 2 people on board, both KIA. New, low hours, Pilot. Hazy, No Instrument Rating, probably became disoriented and didn't know how to rely on his instruments to survive.
Best Guess by all involved !
The Fifth best Men's pole vaulter in Maine was probably also the LAST in Maine high schools !
How is Global warming working for you middle America posters ?
Here W of WP we have 2 - 3 inches of a snow - ice mix. Temps in 20's, Winds 20's with gusts of 40 MPH.
Wind Chill below 0 to - 5 F.

Tupper Lake, NY schools have to bus kids that live a within 1 mile from school if temps go below - 6 F.
If not it's walk !

So, no great traditions then.
Kiev will always be Kiev, not the elitist snob “Keeve”. Cologne is not “Koln”.
Since Trump is about to sell them out, how do you say Kiev in Russian since that will soon be the “proper way”?
The "elite" left starts doing something because they find a few people with a certain dialect, so they run with the pronunciation. They are still trying to be cool, but they've been completely outflanked by real Republicans.
It was not hope or optimism. I am convinced it was the "experts" lying so they could sell/require more.

Kiev - Russian pronunciation
Keeve - Ukranian pronunciation
Keeve was used hundreds of years ago. It is not new.
To those that are still defending the idiotic spending spree of USAID, here is your daily reminder that you might be a fool
Great, I wasn’t around hundreds of year ago. It will always be Kiev - same as Vienna (Wien) and Munich (Munchen). I understand your view too. With your new party you now have to call a man a woman, and a woman a man to be correct often times.
Good thing I don’t have to cater to the elites.
Only you would consider using the correct pronunciation elitist. I am sure you have no issue with the new name Gulf of America.
Yes, it is elitist. It’s hardly correct, it is fashionable. But you are the new El Jaffe, you do what the elites tell you.
Once Kiev always Kiev. Same thing with Naperville Central, the Redskins, not the stupid ass RedHawks - whatever the hell that is supposed to be.
Don’t ever change (again) Jeff.
This article from Bill O. reminds of the statement, "you don't solve racism with more racism"
Third grade. Sister Mary Lurana. Catechism time.
"William, why did God make you"?
To be tortured by nuns! That's what I WANTED to say. But that would not have been well received. So, I rattled it off.
"God made me to show his goodness and to make me happy with him in heaven".
After all these years, I still remember the catechism and I continue to be a believer.
A few years ago, I briefly met Pope Francis in Rome. I think he's a good man who carries compassion with him everywhere he goes. Jesus is well represented by the Pontiff.
But now there is a fissure between Francis and other good people over migration. And the controversy extends to the Founding Fathers of the United States.
Writing this month from the Office of the Holy See, the Jesuit Francis acknowledges the right of countries to establish law but excoriates the United States over President Trump's deportation policy. This is part of the Pope's "Liberation Theology" philosophy, a long held belief system.
"The act of deporting people who in many cases have left their own lands for reasons of extreme poverty, insecurity, exploitation, persecution or serious deterioration of the environment, damages the dignity of many men, women and families".
The Pope points out that Joseph, Mary and Jesus were refugees who fled to Egypt so Herod couldn't kill them.
This is a compelling theological argument for Christians. Jesus the Nazarene clearly commanded his followers to help the poor and disenfranchised, not turn them away.
Enter the men who forged the Constitution in order to establish a "more perfect union". In the preamble of America's founding document it clearly states that the law should establish justice, ensure tranquility, and promote the general welfare (of American citizens whom the Constitution protects).
In that pursuit, Congress passed immigration regulations. However, in a stunningly irresponsible move, President Biden chose to ignore the law, allowing the chaotic entry of more than ten million foreign nationals in less than four years. Most of them unsupervised. The result of this gross dereliction of presidential duty is fiscal hardship for the government, both federal and state, and a deterioration of public order. The open border has led to suffering not only for Americans, but also for the migrants themselves as brutal Mexican cartels rule the illegal immigration procession.
Furthermore, the United States is drowning in debt and if the economy sinks, millions of Americans will be directly harmed. Also, while most migrants are good people, a significant minority are criminals, who endanger the public.
The Founders were adamantly opposed to this kind of disorder. They understood that a collective "pursuit of happiness" ideal can only happen in a stable environment.
Yes, deportations are harsh and there should be humane exceptions. But what is the overall alternative? Francis opines that all suffering people have a human right to seek sanctuary in a better place. But with billions on this planet in bad shape, prosperous nations will soon be overwhelmed if lawful immigration regulation is ignored.
In other words, suffering the world over would dramatically increase as nations devolved into anarchy. The cliche "more harm than good" is the headline.
To me who wants to be happy in heaven, Pope Francis and supporters of unfettered migration have not thought out the severe unintended consequences of their cries for compassion.
It is certainly noble and absolutely Christian to help as many disadvantaged people as possible. But as the Founding Fathers understood, that must be done in a responsible, disciplined way.
You don't combat suffering by creating more suffering.
You just don't.

As U.S. and Putin negotiate, intel shows he's not interested 'in a real peace deal,' sources say
Intelligence suggests Russian President Vladimir Putin is going through the motions and still thinks he can eventually control all of Ukraine, the sources told NBC News.

I will be curious to see how the NBC propaganda you posted here ages.As U.S. and Putin negotiate, intel shows he's not interested 'in a real peace deal,' sources say

Of course he does. He is negotiating with a stooge and a fluffer.As U.S. and Putin negotiate, intel shows he's not interested 'in a real peace deal,' sources say

You are afraid of Russia. Got their asses kicked man wise, lost many times more men, many times more equipment, ships, plants, refineries, economy is crashing, sanctions killing them. All because Ukraine has put up a fight. They are a third world power. North Korea is bailing them out. LOL Paper Tiger
NBC needs to vet their Democrats better. This one has common sense.
After three years, there's no sign that Russia wants to quit. Putin doesn't care how many people they've lost or what it's done to the average Russian's finances. He's
It ages about 2 minutes, if you understand Trump’s plan for Ukraine and the economic partnership he expects to build with them. Putin isn’t going to do squat. NBC are gaslighters.
Enough with this brain dead DEI blame. MAGA lacks all ability to think or analyze, Can only repeat nonsense.
BS, they are negotiating and needs to get out of the military, economic ass kicking they are taking. You fail to see what is going on as we post.
So, you disagree that she knew and lied anyway or are you just rattling on as usual?
