George had attempted to stand up to Hegseth over his decision to block the promotions of one-star general of two Black officers and two women officers, the NYT reports:
Small quibble. General George didn’t just attempt to stand up to Hegseth. He did stand up to Hegseth, which is why he was fired. He has my respect and immense gratitude for standing up for his people and speaking truth to power.
Iran strikes major Middle East oil refinery
A key oil hub on the Persian Gulf took a hit on Friday. Authorities say a drone slammed into the Mina al-Ahmadi refinery, igniting several units at one of Kuwait’s most important energy facilities, the New York Times reports. State-run Kuwait Petroleum Corporation reported no injuries or immediate environmental damage. The same refinery was targeted two weeks ago, part of a wider campaign against refineries, tankers, and storage sites across the region since war erupted on Feb. 28. The refinery is one of the biggest in the Middle East, Al Jazeera reports.
I know that’s fake. Ghislaine doesn’t do orange anymore.
Of course it’s racism and misogyny. Hegseth hasn’t worked closely enough himself to know anything about their performance. But the people who know their work best believe they deserve to be promoted. Hegseth baselessly uses “DEI” as an excuse to hide his blatant bigotry.
Supposedly 178K added, but let’s wait till next month and the seemingly inevitable downward revision.
These people lie like a cheap rug.
I mean, anyway, who the heck is calculating these numbers. All I keep hearing about is layoffs and RIFs. Someone tell me who’s hiring anyway (other than maybe for one or two Cabinet members).
Only question is will she move to a military base or stay in her nice, cushy prison without walls?
Pam, go and never darken our towels again!!
Seems like a mild description. More like vicious and virulent overt racism. I find it notable that he was too chicken shit to even give a meeting to the one man who wanted to question what he was doing.
The majority of the jobs were in the health industry. Not construction. Absolutely not manufacturing. Knowledgeable people saying that the jobs added are reflecting the immigration/deportation issues. Consumer spending was up. Salaries were up, but not as much as expected. And hours worked per week decreased.
You go girls….
Three nuns who escaped from a care home to return to their convent in a castle close to Salzburg where they had spent most of their lives are a step closer to being able to stay there, sources close to them say.
Sisters Bernadette, Regina and Rita, who are in their early to late eighties, broke into their convent home in Elsbethen last September with the help of former pupils of the Catholic school at which they had taught and other supporters. Their case became a cause célèbre, attracting attention from around the world.
Bondi will be taken care of, just like Kushner and all the other grifters. She may be disbarred – she deserves to be disbarred – but sweet, long green makes up for the fact that she’ll never be a lawyer again. (Won’t get in the way of Fox News hits, either.)
is currently leading the Justice Department.
Oh, and when even Fox News has had enough of the bullshit …
oops, Ralph beat me to it.
While I don’t give Ro credit for causing the wound in the first place, he seems pretty consistent about showing up later to pick at the scab.
Don’t be concerned, the “Blame Biden Zombies” will soon begin their brain eating shamble from Fox to it’s viewers.
I don’t normally support book burning, but the Pam Bondi Burn Book can burn at a temperature that melts bone for all I care.
