Hegseth attacking Kelly again... no surprise. The incompetent often try to drag the competent into the mud.
Hegseth lost the first round. 🙄
He reminds me of Frank Burns for some reason.

Timothy Snyder: "Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power, and succeeded with such rapidity.
To see where we are, we must understand that people such as Tulsi #Gabbard, Kash #Patel, and Pete #Hegseth, had no business accepting their nominations, since they lack any qualifications. The fact that such people could be considered, let alone appointed, is a marker of superpower suicide."

Can retired military members NEVER speak their mind about a president?
That seems to be what "War Secretary" Pete #Hegseth wants.
But thankfully Senator Mark #Kelly seems poised to win his federal appeals court battle. The original judge had said that no court has ever extended the principles of active-duty military's stifled 1st Amendment protections to retired servicemembers.
The case might ultimately go to SCOTUS.

Tuesday started with Defense Secy Pete #Hegseth explaining how the #US military was protecting stranded ships so they could traverse the #StraitOfHormuz. He insisted it was a defensive operation & the truce was still in place even though #Iran had launched missiles & drones at #US forces, which sank Tehran’s small attack boats.

Which of all the characters you’ve ever written are you most [happy with]?I'd say Nolene from disOrder. She's a terrible person, which was fun to write, but she was made that way by a toxic mix of privilege and trauma. I cared about being fair to her perspective and found giving her more agency was the correct editing decision every time.

La guerre des US contre l'Iran ressemble de plus en plus à "les Bidochons font la guerre".
Trump au courant de rien, le pentagone lui ment.
Le stock d'armes très bas. Et Vance inquiet.> ❗️Vance fears Pentagon may not be telling Trump the full truth on Iran war as stockpiles dwindle
US Vice President JD Vance has repeatedly questioned whether the Pentagon is giving President Donald Trump the full picture on the war in Iran, according to The Atlantic.
In closed-door meetings, Vance raised concerns that US missile stockpiles are being far more depleted than publicly acknowledged, warning that shortages could undermine the US ability to fight future wars in regions like Taiwan, Korea, or Europe.
Despite this, War Secretary Pete Hegseth and top military officials have publicly portrayed US stockpiles as “robust” and described the war as highly successful.
However, officials familiar with intelligence assessments told The Atlantic that this paints an incomplete picture, noting Iran still retains two-thirds of its air force and much of its missile-launching capability, while key US munitions may already be more than half depleted.
The report suggests internal tensions within Trump’s national security team, with some officials believing Hegseth’s messaging is overly optimistic and tailored to what Trump “wants to hear.”
Meanwhile, Vance has continued to press for clarity behind closed doors, as the war drags on with no decisive outcome and rising concerns over long-term US military readiness.
Beyond stockpiles, Vance has also questioned the Pentagon’s broader portrayal of battlefield success, as internal assessments indicate Iran retains significant military capacity despite official claims of “complete control” over its skies. The gap between public messaging and intelligence findings has fueled concern that the scale of the war, and its risks, may be understated at the highest levels.

Yay! It's Friday! So to celebrate I grabbed a copy of this year's must-have instructional tome, "The servant's behaviour book : Or, hints on manners and dress for maid servants in small households - Patmore, Emily A. (Emily Augusta), 1824-1862" available at the #gopherhole or via the web front-end at https://petergarner.net/gopher/eBooks/pg78121-images-3.epub
If you've ever wondered how a servant should move, speak or interact with the family, then this book's for you. And never the forget the pivotal role that The Tray plays in the life of a servant! A fascinating insight into life "below stairs".

If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
USC assistant coach Paul Gonzales posted a video of him and other staffers taking a helicopter from downtown L.A, to La Verne to see Damien safety Gavin Williams.
This reeks of Chad “Charmin” Bowden. But I’m not sure why USC went to the trouble when they are strong favorites to land Williams.
I think a much more interesting video would be to show the guy who chaffeurs Lincoln Riley to-and-from Palos Verdes to USC every day. What does he do the rest of the day hanging out at the McKay Center?
- Eric Musselman finally found a 3-phadoint shooter! Guard Isaac Bruns of South Dakota has committed to the Trojans. He shot 39 percent on 3-pointers last season. The question now is how often he will get on the court?
- USC ace Mason Edwards leads the nation in strikeouts with 142 in 78.1 innings. He is 8- 0 with a 1.61 ERA after the Trojans beat Nevada, 8-0, on Thursday night. For what it’s worth, a mock draft of the first round released yesterday did not include Edwards.
- It’s hard to feel like USC’s incessant “The pLAce to be” campaign is working when UCLA has won three national titles and is ranked No. 1 in baseball.
- With Pete Carroll teaching a class at USC in the fall, will he visit football practice? It didn’t happen the last time Carroll taught. If he goes to a practice, it is more likely he will want to see Gary Patterson than Lincoln Riley.
- And now for some history:
- A week after USC’s huge 24-14 victory over Alabama in 1978, the Trojans hosted Michigan State and the game was considered to be fairly flat with the expected letdown after defeating the Crimson Tide.The Trojans won, 30-9, but no one was celebrating.
“Hell, the horse (Traveler) didn’t even come out after the first quarter,” USC coach John Robinson said.
But whether USC’s performance was top-notch or not, check out these defensive performances: Defensive tackle Rich Dimler had 11 tackles including nine solo. Defensive tackle Ty Sperling had 10 tackles. Freshmen linebackers Chip Banks and Riki Gray had 10 and nine tackles, respectively.
Just in case you think this defense was just stopping the run, it had 13 interceptions in the first four games of the season. The starting safeties, naturally, were Ronnie Lott and Dennis Smith. The corners were Larry Braziel and Tim Lavender.
- Dennis Thurman was an All-American defensive back at USC just prior to Lott and Smith.
“There was never a time in my four-year college career where we were not ranked No. 1 or No. 2,” Thurman said. “We won one national championship and if they had the system they have today, we would have gotten to play Pitt in the national championship game my junior year, and I think we would have handled Pitt, so we would have won two national championships.”
- Here is the ubiquitous USC president John Hubbard, on the sideline of course, during the Trojans’ game at Arizona State in 1978. This was the famous game where USC had four centers injured and linebacker Ray Peters was forced to play the spot.
In the photo, Hubbard comforts Brad Green, who started at center but reinjured his knee on the first series.
One interesting item I came across this week was that Hubbard and a group of trustees met with USC students in 1970 to answer their questions, at the behest of the students. Among the trustees who agreed to meet with the students was movie mogul Jack Warner.
That would be unheard of today. A few years ago, Rick Caruso held some meetings on campus but that was because USC was in full damage control from the George Tyndall scandal.
- Who remembers defensive lineman John Grant, who played at USC from 1970-72. Grant came to USC from Boise, Idaho, where he was a tight end. USC moved him to defensiv line.
Grant got his first start in 1970 against Iowa, when Tody Smith of Wild Bunch fame injured his ankle.
How did Grant play? “John Grant played the best single game as a defensive interior lineman that I’ve ever seen,” John McKay said.
Marv Goux called it “the best performance we’ve ever had from an individual starting his first game.”
How do you avoid going downhill from there? Grant only flourished, becoming an All-American in 1972 and then spent seven seasons with the Denver Broncos, where he played in Super Bowl XII.
USC defensive lineman John Grant tries to break up a pass from Washington QB Sonny Sixkiller.Actress Juli Reding speaks to Dodger outfielder Elmer Valo at the first home game in Los Angeles in 1958 at the Coliseum.
