On 5/17/1972, On May 16, 1971, my wife's cousin Craig Farlow was shot down after inserting ARVN Marines near Hue in Vietnam. His helicopter exploded on impact.
He was 23.
A year and a day after he was MIA, on May 17, 1972, Craig was declared Killed In Action. The location of his name on the Vietnam Memorial, the final panel, Panel 1W, Row 26, reflects that date.
His remains were never recovered.
“These students are going to have to find out what law and order is all about. Make sure you have your weapons in ready positions.” Brigadier General Robert Canterbury, Ohio National Guard, Kent State University Commons, May 4, 1970.
Apparently, "law and order" is all about being shot to death for protesting an illegal secret invasion of Cambodia, or walking to class while others are protesting.
As I've been saying, it doesn't stop with abortion and lgbtq folks. They intend to deport all non-christians, and they don't care if you're a citizen or if your family has been here for generations. If you're not a white christian, you will have no rights. And the corrupt Supreme Court will look the other way.
It occurs to me that we have a Supreme Court majority that lied under oath to get the job. That cutesy "Roe is settled law" dodge that most of them used to evade the question was far short of the oath they took:
"Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you will give before this Committee on the Judiciary of the United States Senate will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?"
I shouldn't be surprised by the depth and breadth of their faithlessness.
"When the vote on Ukraine aid finally came, it was overwhelming, 311-112. That raised the question: Why in the world did such a popular measure take so long?" #GiftLink
When a top Republican says Russian propaganda has infected the GOP:
"Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Tex.) — none other than the GOP chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee — flat-out said that Russian propaganda had 'infected a good chunk of my party’s base.'”
"I was just following the algorithm" must not function as a defense for crimes against humanity. Of course Israeli military AI would see food delivery as a threat.
Outsourcing murder to AI. #GiftLink https://wapo.st/3VLLuj2
Trump's plundernomics suits Musk to a "t." Narcissists tend to love each other (until they don't) because they see themselves reflected in the brittle, shiny surface of those with no interiority. Well, no interior life except the fear of being found out. #GiftLink https://wapo.st/3x2eF7b
Thousands of millionaires haven’t filed tax returns for years, IRS says
"Werfel said the returns represent hundreds of millions of dollars in unpaid taxes, on more than $100 billion of income.
"Few of the 125,000 missing returns will lead to criminal tax evasion cases."
[Surprise! /s]
