In case you missed these headlines.

With added Sarcastic commentary.

Breitbart: Pentagon Reveals It Actually Has 2,000 Troops in Syria, Not 900.

The Pentagon on Thursday admitted there are actually 2,000 American troops in Syria, not the 900 it previously said were in the country.

Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder characterized the higher troop count as a “surprise”without clarifying if Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin or President Joe Biden knew there were 2,000, not 900 U.S. troops in Syria.

Ryder said at a briefing Thursday:

    As you know, we have been briefing you regularly that there are approximately 900 U.S. troops deployed to Syria. In light of the situation in Syria and the significant interest, we recently learned that those numbers were higher, and so asked to look into it, I learned today that in fact there are approximately 2,000 U.S. troops in Syria.

"We recently learned..." Yeah. Sure. What else is this administration not telling us? The Pentagon Press Sec is, "surprised" upon learning the number of U.S. troops is higher than he thought, or was told, or he's plain lying. What does Lloyd Autism or Herr Biden have to say about this?

Breitbart: Transgender Drug lord series moves closer to Oscar nomination.

It would be an Oscar cinch had the writers created the character as also being disabled and confined to a wheelchair. (No, I'm not poking fun at the disabled or those in wheelchairs. If that's your take-away, you are terminally sarcasm-impaired.)

BBC: US scraps $10m bounty for arrest of Syria's new leader Sharaa.

The US has scrapped a $10m (£7.9m) reward for the arrest of Syria's de facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, following meetings between senior diplomats and representatives from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).

Assistant Secretary of State Barbara Leaf said the discussion with Sharaa was "very productive", and he came across as "pragmatic".

Someone considered a terrorist by both U.S. and Israel is now their best Fren. What a cohencidence. What are the odds the U.S and Israel find a terrorist who is,"very productive and pragmatic." It'll all work out for the best, no doubt.

RT: US spent $9 million on ‘anal prints’ and on giving puppies cocaine – DOGE.

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has published a list of unusual programs funded by the federal government.
[.]
[...]$6.97 million has been spent on studying ‘smart toilets’ that recognize the user’s ‘anal print,’ while $2.3 million went into studies on injecting dogs with cocaine. Some $118,000 was reportedly dedicated to studying whether a metal replica robot of Marvel Comics’ Thanos could snap his fingers, and $75,000 was given in grants on a Harvard study on lizards being blown off trees with leaf blowers.

Your Smart Toilet: "I recognize that ass."

Why inject cocaine into poor dogs when I'm sure there are plenty of humans who would happily volunteer as lab rats? 🤣
