SHEEHY IN THE NEWS:

According to an article in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, U.S. Senator Tim Sheehy (R-MT) made the news recently after he, along with veterans and elite skydivers, reclaimed the world record for the largest flag flown during a group skydive, deploying a 3,200-square-foot, 170-pound American flag from a Vietnam-era Huey helicopter some 10,000 feet above Arizona. Sheehy participated in the jump but did not control the flag itself.

Back during his campaign, Sheehy claimed he parachuted into Glacier National Park while conducting military training in Montana. Park officials said that it is not permitted. It was also reported that the U.S. Navy did not have a record of the jump. I have never seen Sheehy address many of the inconsistencies that were discovered during his campaign, and the press lets it go unchallenged. So I look at the world record mentioned above with skepticism. 

Sheehy also made the news on Tuesday during an interview in which he strongly supported the Trump Administration’s strikes on Venezuelan narcoterrorists responsible for bringing deadly drugs into the U.S. He also issued a press release about a classified briefing he received on Tuesday. 

Sheehy said, “To go after the brave men and women in uniform who are conducting these attacks is to indict the very system that was used bipartisanly for the last 24 years.” 

I have not heard of anyone going after the “brave men and women in uniform who are conducting these attacks.” They are just following orders from above, and it is the people above them, like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and President Donald Trump, whom we do not trust. 

PRIMETIME ADDRESS:

President Donald Trump announced on social media that he will deliver a primetime address to the nation tonight (Wednesday) evening at 9:00 p.m. EST. 

I imagine one part of the Trump address will be to brag about his accomplishments. If he stuck with that, the address would last about five minutes. 

Some people are recommending that we watch a Rob Reiner movie instead of watching Trump address the nation. Sounds like a good idea. 

WHITE HOUSE WEBSITE:

On the official, taxpayer-funded White House website, you can find a subsection of the Media section called “Media Offenders.”  

There you can find the “Media Offender of the Week.”  This week, it is CNN’s Jake Tapper, in case you were wondering. 

Further down the page, you can find “a record of the media’s false and misleading stories flagged by The White House.” 

This is normally something we would see on a campaign website, but Trump has blurred the line between campaign and official business for a long time – and they don’t seem to care. 

Check out what the White House calls “Media Bias” HERE. 

ONE MORE THING:

I hate it when people say, “It’s always in the last place you look.” 

Of course it is. 

Why would you keep looking for something after you’ve found it?
