As a fellow Veteran, Mother, and Grandmother, my heart weeps. As a citizen, I am deeply disturbed and upset. As a woman, I’m concerned the attention will turn away from those who are guilty in the Epstein scandal.

It is always "...with someone else's kids", isn't it?

I'm not a veteran; couldn't lie back in the 70's to join the Navy.

I saw a graphic about the presidents with military service in my lifetime: Eisenhower (Army), Kennedy (Navy, Heroism Medal), Johnson (Navy; Silver Star), Nixon (Navy), Ford (Navy), Carter (Navy), Regan (USAAC), GHW Bush (Navy), Clinton (ROTC), GW Bush (National Guard); neither Obama or Trump had military service.

I suspect our next president will; the GWOT will supply some very qualified candidates. Mark Kelly, Pete Buttigieg, Tammy Duckworth, Mikey Sherrill, Jason Crow all come to mind.

That bone-spurred turd said it may cost US lives but that is a price HE'S willing to pay. This former Marine sez fck dat noise! That pedo-criminal-draft dodging-piece of shit deserves nothing less than a rope or a firing squad and I hope he finally gets his due before his time on earth is through!

It should also be noted that over 100 elementary school girls were killed by US bombs. This regime is sickening.

From another of Trump's illegal wars without guardrails under the guise of a "noble mission" to the subversion of our elections in November as a "national emergency"...we have been warned. Resist MAGA gangster grifter authoritarianism! Vote Sane. #VoteBlue!

No coverage of this in today's Sunday e-paper, I guess they're only covering local stories now. Thanks for the coverage!

Citizens on the ground in Qatar state that ā€œall missiles aimed at that country were intercepted except for twoā€.

I'm sad to hear of US causualties. I'm also sad about the thousands more people killed and the infrastructure demolished by the attacks.
