In add'n to being married to my best friend what brings me joy is: camping, cats, cooking, fishing, gardening, genealogy, music, reading, Seahawks, and snark.

Lethality isn’t built on slogans; it’s built on standards, logistics, and discipline; Dragging culture wars into our ranks breaks the trust that keeps our troops safe…Optics don't win battles, competence does.

Gregory is eyeing his next snack for February in my Cosmic Gregory calendar. This was loads fun to make, coming up with creative ways to photograph Gregory, capturing astrophotos, and then artistically compositing them into each frame. See it here: cosmicbackground.io/products…

That’s the LA Treasurer I covered as a reporter before he was elected to the Senate. He didn’t hide his Oxford education and spoke without the Foghorn Leghorn cartoon accent. That speech pattern came when he arrived in Washington.

For more than two months, I have been working on a truly horrific story about one of the gravest war crimes committed by the United States since Vietnam: The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. It was one of the first targets struck in the opening hours of the war on February 28, 2026. At least 156 people were killed in the U.S. cruise missile strikes—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. We spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day. It would be impossible to do justice to what happened in Minab that day with words alone. In more than 25 years in journalism and reporting on war, I do not believe I have reported on a more heinous single crime. Massacre at Minab: The School That Became a Grave dropsitenews.com/p/minab-sch… Please share this story with as many people as you can.

Trump: "Now we're calling it super. We're using the word super. Because the other word is a fake word. It's just not a good -- it's not an appropriate word. Whoever wins SI is going to win."

This comes as yet another week ends with no Pentagon news briefing. The last one was held May 5, more than four months ago.
DOD's casualty tracker added 37 wounded troops to its Iran war tally this week -- 29 sailors and 8 Marines. The sailors returned to duty. But what happened? When did it happen? Was there an undisclosed attack recently? The response from DOD so far is: 🤷‍♂️ washingtonpost.com/national-…

Trump informed congressional leaders that he has unilaterally canceled $1 billion without Congress’ consent. The claw back is for for immigration services, education programs, health research and for businesses owned by minorities.. It's always the same damn theme.

Our BFF flew to DC yesterday, courtesy of an Honor Flight. He's a damn near 99 year old Army vet (served in Korea) and I don't know how to act without him around. Beer-thirty just isn't the same without him. 🫤 FTR he claims his longevity is due to @budlight 😂

There are receipts. And then there are @KFILE receipts.
CNN pulled a clip of Michele Tafoya recently saying "I've never said I was embarrassed to be from Minnesota" and then displays an unearthed and deleted tweet of her saying "I am embarrassed to be from Minnesota" 🥴
