"great"? Sure. Kash Patel's new way of leading the FBI: Fewer morning intel briefings, more pro sports events At the same time, Patel has drawn attention for regularly appearing with celebrities at professional sporting events around the country, according to flight logs and social media posts. Since taking office on Feb. 20, Patel appears to have made three flights on FBI planes to Nashville, Tennessee, where his girlfriend, a country singer, lives; two flights to Las Vegas, where he has a home; and one flight to New York, where he attended a professional hockey game. FBI policy in recent years has mandated that directors fly on government aircraft for security reasons. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/kash-patels-new-way-leading-fbi-fewer-morning-intel-briefings-sports-e-rcna202865

The only people required to judge her qualifications are the Senate Judiciary Committee and the full Senate. If you think she's qualified, then nominate her, advance her nomination, hold hearings, and vote up or down. But she has NOT been nominated - rather she has been appointed to a temporary four-month "term" - which tells everyone that she could not be confirmed and therefore is not qualified. Women are often referred to here as "DEI" hires, at least when people wish to marginalize and denigrate their positions.

Inside the salacious scandal that derailed Jeanine Pirro's political career Long before she was a Fox News host who pushed pro-Trump election conspiracy theories, Jeanine Pirro was an ambitious New York politician whose career stalled after she was recorded plotting to bug her then-husband’s boat to catch him in an affair. The revelation rocked Pirro’s campaign for New York attorney general nearly 20 years ago, resulting in days of front-page headlines in the city’s tabloids (“BUG THIS LOVE BOAT!” blared the Daily News cover). The conversation took place in 2005 between Pirro and the former commissioner of the New York Police Department, Bernard Kerik, a close ally of Rudy Giuliani’s. “What am I supposed to do, Bernie? Watch him f--- her every night?” Pirro said, according to a transcript obtained by WNBC-TV’s Jonathan Dienst in 2006. “What am I supposed to do? I can go on the boat. I’ll put the f-----g thing on myself.” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/salacious-scandal-derailed-jeanine-pirros-political-career-rcna205801 The internal Fox News emails made public in the Dominion lawsuit are revealing.

Nothing like waiting until the last minute... Tomorrow, 11 May, Sunday, Visakha Bucha would expect some "confusion" tomorrow.

It is interesting to observe when the right (here, on this forum) chooses to play the DEI card or, in this case, not.

She is the twenty-third Fox News alum in the current administration. Box wine for everyone.

We have a trade SURPLUS with the U.K. The U.K. has an effective overall tariff rate of 1%. The U.K. has to pay 10% tariff rate on their exports to the U.S. The U.K. has to buy $10 Billion worth of aircraft (Boeing), supplied with tariff-exempt RR engines (presumably). Trade agreements need to be ratified by Congress. So much winning. At best, this was a draw.

U.S.M.S. is more of a club, and as such has rules regarding gender definitions. You should direct your outrage to U.S.M.S. https://www.usms.org/about/what-is-us-masters-swimming U.S. Masters Swimming (USMS) allows transgender swimmers to compete in the gender category they identify with. This includes participation in competitions, ranking, and official recognition. The policy, outlines by U.S. Masters Swimming, allows trans or non-binary individuals to self-identify and compete in the appropriate category. Personally, I would be in favor of a ban here based some percentage difference in personal best times. But this is a non-profit club and is not subject to my opinion.

It's cute that you think they sleep together.
