Effective today, the U.S. Department of Defense is offering a new benefit: military personnel (and dependent family members) who choose to have an abortion will now receive three weeks of paid leave and reimbursement for travel expenses. militarytimes.com/news/your-mili…

What message does that send, not just about how DOD values human life, but about how it feels about DOD personnel who choose to have children? Sure, they’re offering a corresponding benefit to those seeking IVF to have a child, but that benefit will apply to far fewer people.

When the Pentagon pays for your travel and gives you three weeks of paid leave to have an abortion, could women serving in the military reasonably hear the message as “we really don’t want any of you to get pregnant, and if you do, we really, REALLY want you to have an abortion”?

1. America’s AWESOME in spite of its government. Here’s an example: while the U.S. military deliberately kept all of us in the dark about the Chinese spy balloon, a private citizen—Larry Mayer, a photographer with The Billings Gazette—caught it on camera and told us about it.

2. Without Larry Mayer (or someone like him along the balloon’s long, deliberate surveillance tour through America), we might never have learned about the balloon—even as it was hovering over some of our most sensitive military installations.

3. The U.S. government didn’t employ Larry Mayer or pay him to keep the American people informed. He just did it because he loves this country and wants to keep his fellow Americans informed.

@potus

1. I’d like to know what @potus meant when he said early last year “if Russia invades” Ukraine “there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.” When asked how he’d do that, @potus said “I promise you we will be able to do that.”

2. Since I retweeted an article last week suggesting the U.S. was responsible for blowing up that pipeline, countless self-appointed ministers of the Military and Intelligence Industrial Complex have told me that article was crazy, and lectured me for even raising the question.

@POTUS

3. In light of the quote from @POTUS from February 9, 2022, it’s not at all clear to me that the question isn’t (1) worth asking and (2) deserving of an answer. I still don’t know what, if any, involvement the U.S. may have had, but am actively seeking answers.

1. Update: @potus has announced a new program to provide frisizhnjubs for every American, funded by a tax on those who buy (or may eventually buy) frisizhnjubs. You may ask: “why not just let people buy frisizhnjubs on their own? Why funnel frisizhnjubs through the government?”

2. Others may ask “do we have any reason to worry that the government will eventually take some of the frisizhnjubs money and use it for something else, or mismanage it to the point that people will actually pay more for frisizhnjubs and get less?”

3. People who raise these questions—or in any way doubt the federal government’s capacity and inclination to act in the best interests of the people when it comes to frisizhnjubs—should be shamed into the understanding that they must NEVER EXPRESS DISTRUST OF THE GOVERNMENT.

If false, slander. If true, war. seymourhersh.substack.com/p/how-america-…

“The CIA argued that whatever was done, it would have to be covert. Everyone involved understood the stakes. ‘This is not kiddie stuff,’the source said. If the attack were traceable to the United States, ‘It’s an act of war.’”

“According to the source, some of the senior officials of the CIA determined that blowing up the pipeline ‘no longer could be considered a covert option because the President just announced that we knew how to do it.’”

@SteveDaines

My friend @SteveDaines was put in Twitter jail this morning for having this image as his profile picture. Why?

You won’t find nicer people than Steve and Cindy Daines, and last I checked, hunting photos aren’t prohibited by Twitter.
