So we will really need a $2 trillion war budget?

"American troops need to prepare for combat not only in Earth’s orbit but around the moon, President Donald Trump’s top military adviser said Wednesday, looking ahead to a new frontier in warfare after the U.S. revealed for the first time that it has deployed weapons in space.

Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told service members and industry figures at the Air, Space and Cyber Conference outside Washington that the U.S. military should adapt now so it “is prepared to fight, endure and win ... from the seabed to cislunar space.”

Space Force, the newest military service, which was created by Trump in 2019, is preparing to fight in space and around the moon because “humanity is advancing deeper into space — the Space Force’s job is to help be prepared to defend U.S. interests,” Lt. Gen. Gregory Gagnon, head of the force’s Combat Forces Command, told reporters separately."

The idiot railed against the decision to raise interest rates on Truth Social this afternoon, saying rates should be “1%, or less.” He added: “We are ‘carrying’ almost every country in the World, and that cannot go on any longer.”

Moron, the rest of the world is carrying us by continuing to buy our securities.

He's really cool, and manly, right?

It'd be cool to be like him, right?

If they can look, they're see-men, right.

Jeebus - between yesterdays news and today's (which I caught up with like drinking from a firehose at 4pm) I don't wanna even know what fuckery is in store tomorrow. I might have to start my 5*PM* cocktail at 5*AM*.

What's taking you so long? I expected better.

" ... meet waist-to-height requirements ... "

So it is preferable that this number be as small as possible < 0.4, for example.

My question is does Hegseth have a preference for whether you "dress right" or "dress left".

"See, we did something about this Epstein brouhaha."

"Now do something about Trump and his obstruction on Epstein."

"Oh sorry, the House is closed until after the midterms. no business can be conducted."

"Candidates, who will also have the opportunity to work out with the secretary"

It remains stupifying to me just how much he loves working out, being seen to love working out, and convinced he is that working out is a vital part of being a high ranking bureaucrat and, in his mind, soldier.

Bitter Scribe's avatar

Yeah, what an opportunity.

Like they'd even fart in his direction if he weren't their boss.

16 pounds of strawberries.

Washed corded and sliced.

I flash freeze them one layer at a time

And then put them in a huge Ziploc.

(flash freezing them keeps them from sticking to each other)

And then I start dehydrating them.

(yes frozen they dehydrate straight-from the freezer quite nice)

The farmers market had them only at a dollar of a pound, and I couldn’t resist.

In fact, in a couple of days, I’m gonna go back and get some more.

WHAR PIE AND ME AND GINGER COMING OVER TO SHOVE PIE IN THE MOUTH PART OF OUR FACES?!?

PIE!

Tia Loca's avatar

I will make pie!

And when I do, you and Ginger ❤️will be the first ones to get a slice

Diane's Less Hostile Username's avatar

Do you add sugar when you dehydrate them? I did not and they came out tasting like catsup.

Tia Loca's avatar

The last batch I didn’t add any sugar and they came out really sweet.

I imagine if you tasted a batch and they weren’t sweet enough you could sure add some sugar.

I do Apple with sugar and cinnamon, or apples and chili pepper with a bit of sugar.

Tia Loca's avatar

Just remember to soak the apple slices in water with a little bit of citric acid, Or a bit of lemon or lime juice that will keep them from going brown.

Bitter Scribe's avatar

When you eat them, do you have to reconstitute them?

Tia Loca's avatar

You can if you want

But they make nice little chips when they’re fully dehydrated

And they’re very sweet!

Bitter Scribe's avatar

Now you're making me think of something a cousin told me that her toddler said when she fed him slices of dehydrated apple: "Mommy, these are like funny Fruit Rollups!"

Tia Loca's avatar

That’s pretty cute!

These strawberries would make great fruit leather for kids

Update on an earlier story:

"Macklemore just announced he’s donating the $1 million he made from Sheeran’s tour to 6 organizations to support Palestinians and he’s asking Robert Kraft to match it. This is just the first part announcing it."

Bitter Scribe's avatar

He should ask Robert Kraft to kiss his ass on the deck of the USS Constitution.

Get some sun before you go all Grindr, bitch.

It's not like you haven't the time.

As a Marine and later a straight dance major I get to talk this shit.

They don't care at Grindr. They know your pics are all fake.

They just want the meth.

Another article noted that Rubio will probably just override this as he has in the past.

THAT has been too long coming.

Thank you, Representative Meeks.
