Wow. Even Commiefornia had a moment of clarity.

In an investigative [deep dive]('https://www.baltimoresun.com/2026/11/08/wes-moore-army-supervisor-afghanistan-combat-claims/') into Moore's military service, The Baltimore Sun spoke with a retired Army Lt. Col. James A. "Jamie" Gottschling, who served with Moore in Afghanistan in 2005 and 2006. What Gottschling described was Moore's patriotic service and dutiful fulfillment of his role, but exaggerations — and in some cases falsehoods — about incidents that occurred overseas.
Moore's team said that "partisan politics got in the way" and led to Gottschling's latest assessment, where he told Fox News Digital: "I wouldn't call him a soldier."

When you think of a veteran of combat, you think somebody that's in a foxhole, getting shot at, IED blowing up the convoy, or even more dramatically, when you think about World War II movies, Easy Company, or any of those things where it's like, those guys are getting shot," Gottschling said. "That just wasn't the environment that he was in."

"He starts talking about, you know, in his TED Talk and really struggling with reintegration into the civilian world after the deployment, I'm like, 'what is he talking about?' You know, he spent six months over there, basically in, you know, a forward base that pretty much is as safe as anywhere. You'd probably be at more risk going to an ER in any of the cities in the United States than you would be in Afghanistan, in Salerno."

In his book, "The Work," Moore ('https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2015/01/15/wes-moore-the-work?utm_source=chatgpt.com') being shot at.

"As a soldier, you never forget the first time you were shot at," he wrote in the book. "A sudden, stunning commotion engulfs you—the sound of shells buzzing past your ears, a flurry of divots leaping out of the earth around your feet—but then your training kicks in," the book says.

"Moments before those first shots came at me, I was convinced I was prepared for the experience," the book continues.

Never knew "shells" came out of guns, buzzing past ears. Sad individual.

He only vetoed it because of the restriction that they could only spend it on healthcare..

Healthcare for illegals though, could have scored some points.

Democracy. The people have spoken, blah blah blah.................................:LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL:

[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-sports/seattle-mayor-backs-effort-block-girls-sports-initiative-passed-36-washingtons-39-counties

Voters passed the measure by a 13-point margin last week, and it won in 36 of the Evergreen State's 39 counties. But after deliberating behind closed doors Monday, the Seattle School Board voted publicly to authorize potential legal action against the measure without hearing public testimony. And the mayor fully approves.

So, folks voted and......................................

And on the topic of voting - Is that still going on in Alaska?

Still no results?

Nope, they say sometime next week. Don't forget that Alaska is far worse than Maine when it comes to "You can't get there from here..."

Dying to know what legal precedent they'll be using as the basis of the court case besides, "Because we don't like it!!"

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said in a [post on X]('https://x.com/ICEgov/status/2120586228911276223') that Skander is a Ukrainian illegal immigrant who was released into the country under the Biden administration.

"Reckless open-border policies have resulted in countless preventable tragedies. Three more innocent American lives were lost. Two children who will never get to grow up, and a mother who will never get to watch them grow," ICE said. "These deaths were tragic and preventable. No other family should have to endure this loss. This is our WHY."

The Empire State Building climbers who are facing charges for their daredevil climb to the top of the iconic [New York City]('https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/new-york-city') landmark may face deportation and jail time for the viral stunt.

"If sent back to Russia, Mr. Kuznetsov will almost certainly be sent to fight in the war in Ukraine and Ms. Nikolau may be jailed for her artistic expression," Biale said.

FAFO?

“HB 659 is nearly identical to the bill James Talarico filed when he was in the Texas House, and it's just as dangerous now,” he said. “It sends your name and a copy of your ID to DPS and your local sheriff for buying two guns or a handful of magazines in a week. Call it whatever you want. It's a gun registry, and registration is the first step to confiscation. Texas Gun Rights will fight it until it's dead.”

[On election night]('https://x.com/DrSchwertner/status/2117852259811729876'), state Sen. Charles Schwertner (R-Georgetown) wrote, “Texas stands as long as the Texas Senate Republican caucus holds the line. We will.”

Never imagined seeing any of this .
