Here’s what G Washington warned about partisan lies:
“You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations; they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection.”
Here’s what GW warned about lying party leaders: “They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community”
In other words, a few bad apples will try to supplant the will of the people with their own. If Americans let them, Washington says, “cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government.”

My brother’s mother-in-law has had COVID for two weeks. Yesterday, she was admitted with pneumonia in both lungs. No ventilator yet. Hopeful, but man. Her granddaughter, my niece is a nurse who this summer already survived a bout that hit the hospice where she works.
#MaskUp 😷
She writes from the ER today: “Bob (her husband, also positive) and I have been diligent about wearing our masks, and using hand sanitizer. ...We followed all of the rules, but must have come in contact with a surface somewhere along our scenic walks..... we’ll never know.”
“Last night, as I turned on the news, there was Trump, riding around Washington and waving like he was the parade Marshall, while downplaying Covid. All of this is so disrespectful to those who are suffering or have lost loved ones! I just don’t get it!!!”

After last night’s spectacle I needed to unwind from all the carnage and aggressiveness. So I put on Django, downed some bourbon and half a bag of salt n vinegar chips. Slept about 4 hours. Wrote D Brief, which was a bear. Just taught my son to make avocado toast. Is it noon yet?
Gotta say, I chuckled when this scene came up, after see the Proud Boys got all excited by Trump’s shout out.

The services are "behind the curve" in transforming, but Berger is saying the right things for the Marine Corps, says Christian Brose, former senior McCain advisor and SASC staff director. @DefenseOne's State of the Marines panel just getting started: Image
"There's been a lot of foot-dragging" on gender integration in the Marines, says @RambaKy, citing Berger noting lack of facilities for women. "If we're not recruiting and retaining women right now, we're going to suffer" in the future. Image
Hunter argues force structure changes (gender, race) are more than just social justice issues. They're abt readiness. More women and minorities, statistically means more single parents, dual working couples, etc., more considerations at play the services hasn't figured out yet.
