One of the most annoying tendencies of the right in recent times is their adoption (and degradation) of random things from pop culture as mascots which are integrated into their kitschy, sloppy, tumblr-esque amalgamation of an identity for their culture war nonsense
If you have moral arguments against the execution or it's publicity, fine. But for the love of God stop trying to assert federal prison regulations apply to the military. It's a whole other set of rules and regs than this one.
Livestreaming the execution of a Federal prisoner violates Federal law, Mr. Secretary, specifically 28 CFR § 26.4(f):
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
28 CFR Part 26 including § 26.4(f) applies only to executions following US district court federal sentences not military court-martial executions under the UCMJ and Army Reg 190-55.

The only possible excuse for no public military reaction at this point is to build up the forces necessary to end Russian aggression once and for all. If we don't plan to do that, then NATO will just look weak and continue to be walked all over on by Russia.

Welcome to 1945.
At this point someone needs to found a charity to donate and install window units into British homes and buildings. Also teach them how insulation actually works.
Like one of those charities that build wells in Africa, but it's AC in the UK.
So, jokes aside, to understand why the heat is worse in the UK than say Arizona for example, the answer is quite long...
First it's the Humidity, it's far higher here.
The UK's island location and prevailing south-westerly winds bring moist sea air, so heatwaves are often humid rather than dry.
In contrast, many of the hottest US states (e.g., Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico) have dry desert heat where sweat evaporates quickly, so you actually feel cooler despite higher temperatures.
Even humid US regions (like the Southeast) usually have widespread air conditioning to offset it.
Second, the buildings and Infrastructure that we have all are designed to Trap Heat, not Release It.
UK homes are built for cold, damp winters: thick brick/stone walls, heavy insulation, small windows, and designs that retain warmth.
During a heatwave, they turn into ovens, solar gain through windows builds up, and there is poor ventilation or passive cooling features like overhangs, shutters, or light-coloured roofs.
Plus, poor air conditioning: Only about 5% of UK homes have AC (vs. ~90% in the US).
It's not standard because it's rarely needed most of the year, but during spikes it's a nightmare.
Also, retrofitting is expensive and tricky in old terraced houses or listed buildings.
This extended to public transport, schools, offices, and even hospitals as they often lack cooling.
Finally, most importantly, we have zero acclimatisation.
Meaning it's just as hot at night as it is during the day.
Britons aren't physiologically or culturally used to sustained heat.
We're properly white!
So, a sudden jump from typical UK summer temps feels extreme, and the body struggles more without gradual adaptation.
Heatwaves often bring "tropical nights" (temps staying above 20 °C), so homes don't cool down overnight.
You can't sleep, recover, or anything which just compounds fatigue, dehydration, etc.
Drier US heat often cools significantly at night.
That is all topped up with the fact that we have longer summer daylight at the UK's higher latitude meaning more hours of solar heating.
Hope this long explanation that no one wanted clears this right up...

A violation of the Hatch Act, among so many reasons that it’s a bad idea.
This is current Defense Secretary @PeteHegseth appearing at a political rally with @EdGallrein, the man President Trump endorsed against @RepThomasMassie.
This mindset is why people like him should never be allowed near government. The government of the United States is by and for the People, all people. Liberal ideals and individual freedoms are what have propelled us from a small agricultural colony to a super power that has 1/x
"These are men who lust for a world where the powerful do what they can and the rest of us suffer what we must."
Unimaginably based.
It's long past time for these people to suffer. After everything Leftists have done to us, our country, and our civilization, I have absolutely no sympathy left for these people.
Progressive moralizing means nothing anymore because we've seen the final results of where it leads us. These people can stand there and morally condemn us, speak truth to power, quote the Bible, throw around Reddit-tier insults, and wave their hands in the air all they want.
None of it matters anymore. The game is up. We know what they stand for, and we hate them as much as they hate us.
Yet people like Christian think that was done in spite of our liberal ideas, not because of them. He and people like him want retribution for not being special in the greatest country on earth. All they want is revenge, even if it costs us our place among the stars. 3/x

"Just press red it's the only way to guarantee your life" I'd rather die than let billions die to guarantee my own life.
Apparently this is the next best way to trigger Brazilian nationalists besides saying that the Wright brothers flew first.

Future history books will have a chapter on this. It will probably be called something like “The Lee Betrayal” or simply “How America Lost Everything For Nothing.”
The opening line will read something like: “In 2025, Senator Mike Lee of Utah worked enthusiastically to sever America’s most important alliances, handing geopolitical dominance to a country whose economy was smaller than the Netherlands, in exchange for nothing measurable, nothing strategic, and nothing that served a single American interest.”
That’s the chapter. That’s the legacy. That’s the deal he made.
Our withdrawal from NATO would be long overdue.
NATO has run its course. The threats that existed at its inception are no longer relevant 76 years later. Europe has been leaning on American taxpayers for their security for decades, offering too little in return.
That’s why I introduced the Not A Trusted Organization (NATO) Act last year, and why President Trump is right to question American membership today.
