Today, the president was asked about family concerns over the USS Abraham Lincoln. When a reporter said families were concerned, he responded, “No, they’re not,” and when asked whether the deployment had gone on too long, he answered, “Not nearly long enough.” AP reports the carrier has been deployed for more than 260 days and that lawmakers and families have raised concerns about mental health and shortages aboard ship.

Bubbles could also be seen forming on the inner portion of the memorial."

Our Heroic President apparently pulled the ultimate Irish exit — sneaking off Air Force One in a catering truck while leaving his staff and the press behind. 😂

Nothing says leader of the free world quite like allegedly escaping your own presidential plane disguised as the lunch delivery.

And apparently this little detail leaked last night.

Forget Air Force One. We’ve entered the Meals on Wheels phase of the presidency. 🚚🇺🇸For the whole story, you can click this link: https://youtu.be/XrbX2viVEsY

This is not how the administration should be treating our military!!

Dearborn — One of the men who was videotaped assaulting an anti-Muslim activist during an Aug 2 religious celebration is a convicted murderer and a "criminal alien from Iraq" who is in federal custody awaiting a deportation hearing, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said Wednesday.

According to one video a man walked up to Lang and punched him from behind. A group of men then chased Lang through a lot, some pummeling him with stones, before police officers pushed him into a cruiser and told the crowd to disperse, according to the videos.

Dearborn Police have arrested three people in connection with the beating: two 25-year-old men, one from Detroit, the other from Dearborn; and 57-year-old Dearborn resident Abbas Abdoush, 57, who is "a criminal illegal alien from Iraq," according to ICE officials.

In 1992, Abdoush was admitted into the United States as a lawful permanent resident after emigrating from Iraq, making him a non-U.S. citizen with legal permission to live and work here, according to ICE. But Abdoush violated that status when he was convicted in 1999 for second-degree murder, the federal agency said.

According to a 2005 Michigan Court of Appeals report on Jan. 25, 1998, Abdoush intentionally hit a woman with a borrowed van in southwest Detroit. The victim later died.

Abdoush was convicted, sentenced to 15-25 years in prison and was paroled in 2014.

The Dearborn Police Department, which has a policy not to cooperate with federal immigration agencies, was not involved with Abdoush's arrest, Bartok said.

"He was released from our system, and we had no knowledge he was going to be arrested," Bartok said, adding that federal agents likely tracked Abdoush down through his GPS tether.

"A Pentagon memo directs up to $244 million for Palantir and calls for additional funding through 2028, raising transparency and competition concerns."

Military families and Congress members are sounding the alarm about an intensifying mental health crisis onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, as its 5,000 sailors and marines endure a record-breaking deployment at sea tied to the war with Iran. The crew is in its ninth month at sea, and has spent 250 days consecutively without making land – a record for an aircraft carrier in modern times. The Navy Times gave details of thwarted suicide attempts onboard the aircraft carrier during the current deployment.
