The Pentagon should know better than this.
"WASHINGTON (AP) - The Pentagon announced Monday it is investigating Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona over possible breaches of military law after the former Navy pilot joined a handful of other lawmakers in a video that called for troops to defy "illegal orders."The Pentagon's statement, posted on social media, cited a federal law that allows retired service members to be recalled to active duty on orders of the defense secretary for possible court-martial or other measures."

@skutfarcus :
Eyerolls on content, not you.

"Illegal orders"...... those two words say it all. Especially the first word ILLEGAL! I believe it is in the constitution,... isn't it?

The Constitution was written to protect our country from people like this.

@skutfarcus :
tell that to scotus!

This plaque can be found at West Point.

It should be put on Trump's desk in bold neon letters.

@CCubs :
A staff person could put it in giant letters in a frame on the wall, adorned with gold, and he'd never read it or make mention of it.
My opinion and I'm sticking to it.

He's really losing it.

Did Trump Mobile Fake Its Phone? Design Swap and Lawsuit Threat Raise Eyebrows
www.inquisitr.com/di d-trump-mobile-fake- its-phone-design-swa p-and-lawsuit-t

Donald Trump's sons unveiled the Trump Mobile T1 phone this summer, which drew roaring applause. The phone was going to have an American flag on it and a promise that it was made in the USA. A gold phone branded with the Trump name would sell like hot cakes, to say the least; his MAGA base was ready. Trump Mobile designed the phone to be politically delicious!

 

But months later, the phone that was supposed to hit the market in August has become a myth.

 

What NBC News did was what any curious consumer would do: they placed a $100 deposit in August 2025 to see whether the $499 Trump Mobile device was real. They confirmed that they received an email receipt, but then there was radio silence.

 

Then the outlet tried to follow up with customer service, but it didn't reveal much except for delays. At first, this Trump Mobile marvel was supposed to be out in mid-November. Then it was "early December." One operator even cited the government shutdown without clarifying how the government's executive branch and smartphone assembly lines were related.

 

Meanwhile, Trump Mobile's social media handles didn't help. A late-summer post, "The wait is almost over!" had a product photo. But the design didn't match the OG renders. The new phone looked like a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra-so much so that Spigen (a phone case company) threatened to sue because it appeared to be a doctored photo of a Samsung device in one of its cases.

 

Then there was the "Made in the USA" claim. In early marketing materials, this phrase was the selling point. But this fall, the wording was replaced with "Brought to life right here in the USA," with vague promises like there would be "American hands behind every device." What does that mean? Would it be assembled here, or would someone in Ohio be taping the shipping label?

 

Industry experts aren't surprised at all. Francisco Jeronimo of IDC told CNBC there was "no way" the phone could have been built or even entirely sourced domestically for the announced price point. Todd Weaver (whose company spent six years building the only U.S.-made phone currently on the market) confirmed that making such smartphones is logistically impossible. Even Eric Trump hinted that the initial batch might not be made in America. But marketing wanted buyers to think otherwise, though.

Just another GRIFT!

$9.00 for bacon. Is that normal? Nope. For a person that has never been in a grocery store to tell me that grocery prices are "normal," ? Give me a blasted break!
