This is one of those "You don't have to go home but you can't stay here" situations but apparently no one told the ex-ICE Barbie (or everyone is too scared to do it?).

"Kristi Noem Still On The Grift, Living Rent-Free While Americans Struggle To Make Ends Meet"
"Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem “has continued using a waterfront house on a military base in Washington, D.C., that she took over as a cabinet member,” the Wall Street Journal reports."
“Noem moved into the house on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, which is typically designated for the commandant of the Coast Guard, after President Trump last year fired Linda Fagan, the commandant at the time. The Coast Guard generally falls under the purview of the Department of Homeland Security.”
He’s saving imaginary Iranian women from the gallows but I suppose it would be gauche for anyone to question the mental acuity of the man with the nuclear biscuit.
I had an appointment with my retina specialist today, and it was all good news. My detached retina seems to be trying to reattach itself, and all the blood vessels in both eyes are free of bleeding. There’s still a question of whether injecting my bad eye with something (“oil” was the word used) would stabilize the retina and restore some vision, but that’s a question for my next appointment.
Now that I’m home again, I gave thought to emailing the hiring manager at my prospective employer to ask about next steps. And then I realized how tone-deaf and stupid it would be given today’s events. My questions can wait.
It’s true…Canada has reinstated their “Canadian ancestor” rule to encourage Americans fleeing Trump to apply. I’m interested if the midterms go south. Free healthcare? Gulps and looks around at the magical paradise.
This whole thing about Monterey as well. Has he ever been there?
What with its lighthouse and butterfly sanctuaries and diving beaches and stuff. Oh yeah, totally dark place.
The only time I've been pissed off in Monterey was when lockdown ended and I went there for a change of scene. All these fucking bellends from the central valley were there and refused to wear masks. Assholes. I hid in my room, only going out for booze and food.
I had a balcony though, so I could sit and watch the bay.
FUCK with the US Navy. Lo-bar? Office of Navel Intelligence? Aircraft carriers, first strike nuclear subs. All those Destroyers. Not to mention The U.S.M.C.

We have a president that makes "'vrumm 'vrumm" noises in his bath.
We are so in trouble . . .
The question is, is he using his mouth?
The high school where I work is hosting the administration of the ASVAB this week. 😬
Well, there's a Tstorm with 3.5 inch hail headed in this general direction.
I like baseball better than softball.
I prefer marbles!
An ice-cream truck just drove past my place. The jingle is, I shit you not, "Fur Elise."
I am agog.

daughter is looking into it. her maternal great grandfather was Canadian.
Trump is clearly the kind of guy who likes having underlings fight over him. I am betting Phelan refused to do something really bad.
Phelan was just another Trump stooge being replaced by yet another Trump stooge. Who cares what he did or was alleged to have done?
The replacement stooge?
Fungible stooge.

Chief Contrarian Jen Rubin asks the serious question - What do Republicans have to run on in the coming campaign season?

Answer--what they always run on--Jesus and Racism.
They've had nothing for 20 years.

Way to ruin everything, MAGA chuds.
"You bastards! You finally did it! You blew it up! Damn you all to hell!"
It will take at least six months to de-mine the Strait of Hormuz and that's if there's no shooting going on.
Iran Just Mined the Strait of Hormuz

You can't blockade the strait I'm blockading the strait!
You can't blockade the strait, I mined it! Also you can't quit you're fired!
This is the stupidest timeline!
"Stupid" is simply an inadequate word for this. This is beyond biblically stoooopitt.
I disagree that Hegseth wants to be Trump's son. Being the most prized, job-secure lickspittle in his Cabinet would be enough.
Good idea TACO.

Yeah....pick a fight that you can win Don.
But not with the Navy.
"pick a fight you can win Don." He picked a fight with Iran, that ship has sailed.
Actually, more than a few ships have.
ba-dum,tish!
My kids are smarter than him
Being my kids....genetic wise they are stupid.
My dog is smarter than him and she occasionally runs headfirst into a wall.
Your dog is probably smarter than me.
Blame gallbladder.

Spy vs. Spy
BINGO
Wait. Who am I rooting for again?
I'm rooting for Godot.
None of us knows.
