"Reading to my kids for an hour every single night was one of the Top X best decisions of my life. When we started I figured it would last maybe ten years. Turned out to last XX. I cant even begin to list all the epic novels but the last I read my son was Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa. I first read that book in my late twenties and struggled to follow the story. My son was not only able to follow along at XX but also drew deep connections between the characters. I distinctly remember a school conference freshman year of high school where every parent was complaining about their teenagers acting"

"why not just opt to build green vessels Because our Merchant Marine is dual use. The US military utterly relies on it. You cant sail a ship with explosive hydrogen or ammonia or LNG tanks strapped on deck into a war zone And because green vessels arent green. They use hydrogen or ammonia or LNG that uses MORE carbon to produce. And because we are already struggling to build simple diesel ships. Just building more complex hydrogen or ammonia or LNG ships will set us further behind. I can keep going Oliver"

"Not going to happen. When Democrats win its a free-for-all of government jobs think tank seats planning boards NGOs etc. They suck down huge salaries and do nothing. Then we come in and cut less than 1/4. We cant cut more because then ALL work grinds to a halt. Some of these jobs are important. The one exception is ICE. They are doing a fine job. Why Because they went on a hiring spree with huge bonuses. We cant just cut 1/4. We need to cut 3/4 from DOT then HIRE 1/4. Nothing will get done until thousands of hard-working Republicans are surged into government. And not just government itself"

"Surviving a storm at sea is the Navy equivalent of Ranger School. There I said it. Hegseth doesnt have a Ranger Tab or a sea storm on his resume so he isnt qualified. He also needs USAFWS and at least one space walk (or at least a summer at Space Camp) to be a leader. Marine boot camp too And dont forget needle gunning a sht tank in the US Merchant Marine Officers dont get to do USCG rescue swimmers school but he should have enlisted and done that first before college 😜"
