All the Burning Bridges
That have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the Burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning Bridges
Lost forever more

Megan McClung was the first female U.S. Marine Corps officer to be killed during Operation Iraqi Freedom. She served as a media relations officer. McClung was supporting combat operations in Anbar province, Iraq when a roadside bomb struck her vehicle.

Her favorite phrase: "Be Bold. Be Brief. Be Gone." is her legacy. - Arlington National Cemetery (2024)

As is getting to be my little custom, the first tune of the season out here ondeck is one of my personal favorites from Led Zeppelin’s final studio album. Jagger liked it, too. I know he did.

hey, you want to hear something really stupid?
“trade wars are good, and easy to win.”
that’s a thing America’s used-car-salesman-in-chief actually said, way back in March, 2018. he’s repeated it numerous times since. he really believes that ‘winning’ is as easy as just jacking up tariffs over and over until the other guy cries uncle. - Jeff Tiedrich

The mandated vehicle markings mimic those used by invading Russian forces in Ukraine to distinguish themselves from “freedom-hating and war-mongering Ukrainians,” according to Hegseth.“The ‘Z’ is in no way affiliated with our Russian overlor–I mean allie–I mean best frien–THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA, OKAY?”emphasized Hegseth as he pounded and savored the rich taste of a glass of water. -Task Force Football Bat
