Doing a 9-5

FYI The "American Forces Network" online will show you what's playing worldwide if you want to see for yourself.

Now, first I realize it's VITALLY IMPORTANT that troops get news from home - it makes them less homesick and provides a sense of normalcy when you hear the Yankees collapsed in 5 games (Let's Go Mets)!

But should they be getting news from a network where the following happened:

"The hosts “have open access to spread their conspiracy theories to US troops,” VoteVet states. “And now we know they knew they were lies — just to boost their ratings in referencing Fox settlement of the Dominion Voting lawsuit of libel $800K for their "knowingly false claims".

In fact, Fox Broadcasting Company, LLC is a USA commercial broadcast television network owned by the Fox Entertainment division of Fox Corporation. As such, it avoids the stricter standards required of other journalism outlets.

In fact, during the lawsuit Fox Attorneys stated in the record:

The 'general tenor' of the show should inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.' "

The Trump appointed judge then states: "Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statement he makes."

She added, "Whether the Court frames Mr. Carlson's statements as 'exaggeration,' 'non-literal commentary,' or simply bloviating for his audience, the conclusion remains the same — the statements are not actionable as they are entertainment.

The decision specifically references Fox News prime-time hosts Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, each of whom was accused in recent court filings of knowingly spreading Donald Trump's false claims of 2020 election fraud.

So, should troops be watching "entertainment" as news? Purveyors of false claims, lies, misinfo & disinfo per the courts?

Have you ever heard or said that before? I was born and raised in Tennessee. I am amused by the different accents and dialects.

I have also heard "wash" pronounced "warsh" and "tire" pronounced "tar".

You know what I'm talking about. The $100 Mikasa crystal martini glasses set of four. The $40 kitchen shears. The $60 rechargeable electric pepper mill. The $45 molcajeta.

What still left on the registry you may ask?

Towels! Bedding! Kitchen utensils! Vaccum! Mini fridge! Garment steamer! Ya know, SHIT THEY ACTUALLY NEED!!!

Some of these registries just boggle my mind. And don't get me started on the baby registries!! Some of the vanity useless shit is MIND-BLOWING!!

Don't these young couples have anybody guiding them to try to separate what they want from what they need? I KNOW it's a wish list but c'mon! SOMEONE EXPERIENCED should look it over before you go nuts clicking away on Amazon or they hand you the price gun at the department store and say "Have fun kids"!

And for you ladies, by all means use this question to vent your unfettered rage at bridal parties and their Bridezillas AND that dreaded, awful, kill me now, "I'd rather gargle molten glass shards" baby shower. Let's hear about it!

Is the illegality of their entry the issue, or is it the probability that they will vote for the people who didn't threaten and denigrate and abuse them? Of course, they don't vote at all, but the point seems to be to make people worry about it and then offer a "solution" in the form of deportation.

Do you have a mix for laundry/period days, date night..
