In #20 JCM said: USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier collides with merchant vessel in the Mediterranean Sea near Egypt The aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman was in a collision with a merchant vessel in the Mediterranean Sea near Egypt, the Navy said Thursday. There were no reports of injuries or flooding after the collision, a Navy spokesperson said in a statement. The collision happened late Wednesday night near Port Said, Egypt, according to a statement from Navy Cmdr. Timothy Gorman, a spokesperson for the 6th Fleet. The collision is under investigation.

Sam (not gonna try his last name) does good work.

The damage seems minor enough not to affect operations.

I don't think this is what Texas voted for:

I didn't watch RFK Jr.'s swearing in ceremony, but I did watch the short video where he thanked Trump for all he had done so far. He was very clear to say that every promise Trump has made, he has followed up on. He was nothing but gracious and thankful to Trump.

I briefly read this and couldn't read beyond the first few paragraphs:

When An Asylum Claim Lives or Dies by the Quality of Chicken Nuggets in Another Country

I've had to report to the courts periodically on behalf of a family member, and if I tried to pull nonsense like this I would get called to the carpet.

Gosh, it's like Dems don't do anything but react on instinct, because he sure didn't look closely at what he was suggesting here.

I don’t agree with him on everything, but you gotta love the guy at times like this.

If I were Gov. of Texas, I would veto any bills out of those committees.

I don't know if Texas has a pocket veto, but that would be the. One of my favorite Presidents Calvin Coolidge was the master of the pocket veto.

We are living in mythic times. Recall the story of Heracles fighting the Hydra, and every time he lopped off one of its many heads, two more grew in its place. Finally, he realized that he'd have to prevent the re-growth by burning the stumps where the heads had been---and that is what killed it.
