40 miles north of baghdad. one of the things that struck me when i first arrived at that camp in 2005 was this big sign at the main gate that read is today the day? i saw that sign almost every day for the year that i was there, a reminder that any day could be our last. i was confronted with just how true this was as i worked in a medical unit every day, experiencing the high human cost of war. and it caused me to reflect. what am i doing with my life? am i making the most of every day that i have to do my best to be of service to god and to others? the question on that sign is today the day, it s just as relevant to everyone of us now here at home as it was to us in iraq so many years ago. i spoke to tucker recently on my podcast, the tulsi gabbard show, about this most important topic. here s part of our conversation. tucker: moving toward death had pretty high speed and one of the first things to go is my sight. i can t text without my glasses on. tulsi: i ve been f
establishment wing. balking over finalizing the very rules mccarthy conceded last week to hard liners to become the house speaker. is this normal? plus, president biden s upcoming meeting with the president of mexico after visiting the border. where critics say the true scope of the humanitarian crisis was hidden from his view. and prince harry dropping bombs, accusing his stepmother of leaking stories to help her image. what does the royal family have to say about all of this? welcome to the lead. i m jake tapper. we start in our politics lead with the first test of newly elected speaker of the house, kevin mccarthy. in just a few hours, the house is going to vote on its new rules package. this will include one of the biggest concessions mccarthy made to the hard line rebels to get the gavel. that one-person motion to vacate rule. this means just one member of congress can now force to remove mccarthy as speaker. he also made other concessions including allowing more fre
the article is funny because it pointed out rachel levine is himself pretty funny. here you have a man dressed up like a woman in makeup and purple glasses wearing some kind of admiral s uniform pretending to be the assistant secretary of health when he looks like a candidate for an imminent heart attack himself. so the whole outfit is a riot. it s like a halloween costume some clever drunk college student dreamed of. this year i m going as an obese transvestite health admiral. you d laugh if you saw him at a party but the biden administration can t allow to you laugh at rachel levine or kamala harris or any of the other transparently absurd figures pretending running our continue are country or for biden himself who somehow got 81 million votes despite being senile and rarely going outside. it s all pretty funny when you think about it but you can t laugh and you can t laugh because humor is the most subversive thing. once you start noticing the pure hilarious ridiculousness
