Marine Colonel Who Resigned Because Of Trump Says Personnel Should Question 'Illegal Orders'
A former U.S. Marine Corps colonel and combat veteran of 24 years resigned in late September, now saying he did so because of President Donald Trump and “concern for our country’s future.”
In an op-ed titled “I resigned from the military because of Trump,” published in The Washington Post on Thursday, Doug Krugman noted that “no commander in chief is perfect,” but said he nevertheless believed that previous presidents took their oaths to the Constitution seriously.
With Trump, he wrote, he no longer believes that.
The Department of Defense has been in the spotlight during Trump’s second term under the leadership of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The Trump administration has rebranded the department the “Department of War,”fixated on the physical appearance of military personnel, and ordered National Guard troops to heavily Democratic cities despite the opposition of blue state governors.

LA Dodgers take game 3 from the Brewers, 3-1 behind a stellar performance by Tyler Glasnow
and the bullpen did a good job also.
Honestly don't see anyone beating the Dodgers.

Dodger starting pitching this post season has been phenomenal,
not so much their bullpen though.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto is pitching another gem tonight to follow on where Blake Snell left off last night.

LA Dodger Blake Snell is killing it,
he's pitched, so far, into the 6th inning with one hit and 9 strike outs.

Not a pet, but I absolutely love the videos of humans helping out wild animals in need
and then releasing them back into the wild.

Wow!!!
MT Greene sounding halfway sane in this video clip.

Grudging credit where grudging credit is due.
Like one of the comments says, she keeps this up and she'll be labeled a RINO.

Is this his personal story or is this someone he knew?
I personally think that this is his story given that the boy is blond haired like he is.
Does anyone here know the back story of this song?

Just in case most people don't know, Owls are the only birds that have forward looking eyes.
This video restores my faith in humanity dealing with wild animals.
