Career Ending Events
-
Anyone who has been in a number of organizational tense situations has observed someone, either through inexperience or lack of knowledge, say or do something that was “career ending or limiting”.
High on the list of transgressions is to "contradict the boss’s" statements, actions or positions.
Such is the case for Trump’s, DNI Tulsi Gabbard, who stated in March to a congressional hearing that Iran was Not close to an operational nuclear bomb.
(that statement was itself a bomb that has gone off)

Breaking Down Trump’s Public Rebuke of Tulsi Gabbard’s Statement on Iran—and Her Response
https://time.com/7296421/trump-public-rebuke-tulsi-gabbard-iran-nuclear-weapon-statement/
President Donald Trump has said that his Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, was "wrong" to say that Iran is not currently building a nuclear weapon.
-
It’s of interest that Gabbard is a former Democrat, She has held the rank of lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve since 2021, and previously served as U.S. representative for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district from 2013 to 2021. She joined the Republican Party in 2024. Gabbard was the youngest state legislator in Hawaii from 2002 to 2004.

To Bomb Or Not To Bomb, That Is The Question

To Bomb Or Not To Bomb, That Is The Question
Whether it be nobler to drop the bunker busters on Iran’s nukes
Or to leave them well enough alone?
-
To chance our planes and crews safety
Or take the temporary ‘safe’ way out?
-
To face adversity and potential escalation today
Or continue to ‘pass the buck’ to the next POTUS again
-
Will Trump be Garry Cooper at the corral at High Noon
Or will he be Nether Chamberlain at Munich in 1938?
We all know how that appeasement worked-out!

Options for Targeting Iran’s Fordow Nuclear Facility
-
-
President Trump said Wednesday he hasn’t decided yet whether to deploy the U.S. military to join Israel’s bombing campaign against Iranian military and nuclear sites, even as his administration moved more American aircraft and other assets to the region in preparation for a U.S. attack.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/jun/18/trump-weighs-11th-hour-decision-us-military-strikes-iran/
The president is now weighing an unprecedented move: allowing the embattled Iranian regime leaders to visit Washington to negotiate with him.
-
As the president contemplates a strike on Iran, the U.S. has shifted more forces to the Central Command area of operation. Significant numbers of fighter jets and cargo aircraft, including F-16s, F-22s, F-35s and C-17s, are arriving, The Aviationist, a military publication, reported.

Child Sex Mutilation Not OK!
-
What is wrong with a country and people who need to have the highest court decree that sexual mutilation of children is Not OK?
How can such a nation sing that they are ‘the land of the free and home of the brave’ and that ‘God should bless America’?

SCOTUS rules on state ban on gender transition 'treatments' for minors in landmark case
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/scotus-rules-state-ban-gender-transition-treatments-minors-landmark-case
The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that a Tennessee law banning specific transgender medical treatments for adolescents in the state is not discriminatory, ruling 6-3 to uphold the law.
(a pox be on the (3) malfeasants!)
At issue in the case, United States v. Skrmetti, was whether Tennessee's Senate Bill 1, which "prohibits all medical treatments intended to allow 'a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor's sex' or to treat 'purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor's sex and asserted identity,'" violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
-
That law prohibits states from allowing medical providers to deliver puberty blockers and hormones to facilitate a minor's transition to another sex.
It also targets healthcare providers in the state who continue to provide such procedures to gender-dysphoric minors— opening these providers up to fines, lawsuits and other liability.

Pay for Play: End of College “Sports”
-
College sports have been commercialized for many years with coaches making millions of dollars while playing ‘the recruiting game’.
It has been a “game” to incentivize players within the “rules” of scholastic sports. Now the ‘amateur rules’ are gone and it’s “Pay for Play” in college sports with players yearly moving to highest bidders with no allegiance to an alma mater.
The next step: no academic requirements or achievements to play!

Schools Can Pay Their Athletes—and College Sports Will Never Be the Same
https://www.wsj.com/sports/house-settlement-college-sports-ncaa-nil-46698084?mod=hp_featst_pos3
-
College sports are dying, college sports are dead, college sports aren’t about college anymore—it’s Christmas in June for anyone feeling apocalyptic about the state of college sports, now that a settlement has been approved allowing schools to directly pay their athletes.
-
This isn’t a salary, technically. This is compensation from schools to athletes for use of their “name, image, likeness,” but it’s not a measly NIL like a burly offensive lineman getting all the bratwurst he can eat. This is a real paycheck, directly from the college.
-
The NCAA and its member schools set professionalization into motion with decades of arrogance and denial about the bountiful but warped economy they built around the games we love to watch.
When college sports started chasing every dollar as a market-driven business—and frankly, there’s a case that college sports has always been a business—paying athletes became inevitable.

Talk about changing school athletics; let’s let men play in women’s sports!

POTUS Power To Nationalize Guard
-
Appeals court receptive to Trump’s L.A. troop deployment
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/jun/17/appeals-court-receptive-trumps-troop-deployment/
Federal appeals court judges seemed inclined to bless President Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard to quell unrest in Los Angeles over the objections of Gov. Gavin Newsom, suggesting that the administration is on solid legal ground.
-
During oral argument on Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals questioned the reasoning behind a lower court decision that ruled Mr. Trump violated the law and the Constitution in federalizing and sending thousands of Guard soldiers into the city.

Walmart Faces MAGA Boycott After Heiress Funds 'No Kings' Ad
https://www.newsweek.com/walmart-faces-maga-boycott-after-heiress-funds-no-kings-ad-2083607
Walmart heiress Christy Walton is facing backlash, and Walmart is facing some calls for a boycott from Trump supporters after placing a full-page ad in The New York Times urging Americans to attend town halls and engage in civic discourse.
The ad paid for by the Walmart heiress concluded with the statement, "The honor, dignity and integrity of our country is not for sale. Show up, attend your town halls, be civil," and noted that the views expressed were solely those of Christy Walton.
No Kings Day is scheduled for June 14, which is also Trump's birthday, Flag Day, and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. He has planned a military parade at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to commemorate the anniversary.
Walton, who has a net worth of $19.3 billion, married into the Walmart legacy years ago. Her husband, John Walton, was the son of Walmart founder Sam Walton and died in 2005.

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., spoke out against the "anarchy and true chaos" in Los Angeles, declaring that Democrats forfeit "moral high ground" if they do not decry the violence.
"I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration—but this is not that. This is anarchy and true chaos. My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement," Fetterman declared in a post on X.

Baltimore’s steep drop in violent crime buoyed by locking up career criminals, street patrols
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/jun/5/baltimores-steep-drop-violent-crime-buoyed-locking-career-criminals/
Baltimore State’s Attorney Ivan Bates, upon taking office in 2023, told the city’s most hardened criminals to keep a toothbrush on them so they would be move-in ready for their future jail stints. Two years later, he is making good on that promise.
The top prosecutor’s focus on arresting the city’s gun-toting repeat offenders has broken the cycle of simmering beefs turning into deadly shootings.

Davida Allen said she was angry the CEO of Baltimore Public Schools, Sonja Santelises, was earning a base salary of $333,125 - which rose to $444,875 with allowances - yet students were still failing.
They found that not one student among the 2,000-strong student body was reaching the required math standard in 10 high schools, eight elementary schools, three Middle/High schools and two Elementary/Middle schools.

How Did the Constitution and the Immigration Laws change since 1993?
It’s past time for the SCOTUS to restate the Immigration Laws and rebuke our Out-of-control Left-Wing Rogue Judges!
-
Between 1993 and 2001, during the Presidency of Bill Clinton, about 870,000 people were deported. Between 2001 and 2008, during the Presidency of George W. Bush, about 2.0 million people were deported, while between 2009 and 2016, during the Presidency of Barack Obama, about 3.2 million people were deported.

What has happened to American journalism?
Can we get back to the 1886 founder of the Roanoke Times?
-
First editorial, Nov 30, 1886, by Mr. Claytor, first owner and editor of the Roanoke Times outlines the paper’s philosophy including:
• It has no pets to reward and no enemies to put down.
• It will endeavor to be truthful.
• It is the mouthpiece of no order, corporation, party nor clique.
• To the fostering of our infant manufactories, to the development of our mineral resources and the cultivation of our fertile fields, must we direct our best efforts if we would make this Southern land of ours blossom as the rose.
• It will endeavor to be truthful.
• It is the mouthpiece of no order, corporation, party nor clique.

Amazing LA Hotel Pay
-
“The proposed LA ordinance calls for a dramatic increase in hotel wages within 60 days of adoption. Increasing hourly wages to $24.40 with an additional $8.35 for health benefits would result in a 69% increase in payroll in just two months,” wrote the Hotel Association of Los Angeles in opposition.

Proposed LA Hotel Workers Pay
$24.40 + $8.35 = $32.75/hr
$32.75/hr = $1310/40-hr week
$1310/wk = $5633/month
$5633/month = $67,596/year

No D No More: Jumping Ship

Karine Jean-Pierre (Biden’s PR Mouthopiece) suddenly switched party.
Karine Jean-Pierre is leaving the Democratic Party.
Several who worked alongside the former press secretary responded to her book announcement with derision and contempt.
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/04/karine-jean-pierre-leaving-democratic-party-00385060
Karine Jean-Pierre’s announcement that she’s leaving the Democratic Party — timed with the rollout of a new book — has detonated long-simmering grievances among her former White House colleagues about Jean-Pierre’s pursuit of celebrity and personal media exposure while serving as then-President Joe Biden’s press secretary.

Musk A Demanding MicroManager

Musk says he’s ‘disappointed’ with Trump-backed megabill
Musk says he’s ‘disappointed’ with Trump-backed megabill - POLITICO
-
-
Musk’s short assignment in the Trump administration was clearly an annoying and aggravating time for Musk.
He is Not accustom to managing in a government bureautic swamp.
His organizations are super-responsive to his direction and wishes.
His tolerance for slow-learners and slow-responders and slow-achievers Is antithetic to his expectations and demands.
The Musk management model is reminiscent of General Patten’s style.
It’s little wonder that Musk continues to express annoyance and disappointment with the waste, fraud and abuse in the government.
Clearly he is not sympathetic to the ‘compromise basis’ of our government due to the very close balance of power we have in both the house and senate and the dysfunction within the Republican Party.
Expressing frustration with our economic and political reality does not help the effort to get the best deal possible for the American People.
