Do these installations get rebuilt, or are those resources directed to our near-abroad?
Replying to @Megatron_ron
The AR-327 Commander (an S-band long-range tactical radar) and its variants generally cost between $100 million and $300 million per unit.

Intellectually, I know I should care about this. America should recruit the best minds on Earth and put them on the hardest problems. If true, this is potentially devastating news. Emotionally? After watching so many iconic American companies get taken over by immigrants, I give ZERO emotional Fs. Realistically? Everyone on Earth knows the Department of War is a FAFO machine. Anthropic FO. Now they’re FO. BOOM.

Pervasive evidence of crimes against humanity =>
It is criminal that our government enabled a bat virus to infect and spread between humans. Indeed, it is hard to imagine a bigger betrayal of our species. It is equally troubling that the mad scientists who did this then gaslit all the people of the world about it, including those who CORRECTLY interpreted the evidence. Then, of course, the very same monsters amped up fear of the Covid frankenvirus and steered the panicked public away from safe medicines, and toward an obviously dangerous gene-therapy which they falsely called a vaccine in order to lure us into acceptance. These are among the greatest crimes EVER committed against humanity. We now have persuasive evidence of everything I have said above. If we don't correct the record and hold the perpetrators to account, this pattern will happen again, and again, and again--shortening our life expectancy, and degrading our quality of life each time that it does. This is our Nuremberg moment. We can not simply move on from this ghastly chapter of history. We must finish it. @brownstoneinst

A thing of beauty. Possession soccer is about making the defense move so that it can be cut open. Ah how I miss coaching, and the USA has a real coach finally.

What if this is totally normal and we are the weird ones? Nothing strange about a human fox being examined by a “vet.”

The Republic may be read as a philosophical image of a political heaven that cannot exist under ordinary human conditions. Strauss sees this: the city is perfect only by suppressing much of what makes men men. Christianity gives the deeper reason: such an order requires not simply better education or philosopher-kings, but resurrection. Plato can imagine the form; only God can change the material.

State-sponsored racial discrimination was the rule for 48 years.
For 48 years the Small Business Administration racially discriminated against Americans with preferential programming for minorities. That just ended today. For the first time in A HALF CENTURY, federal contracts will be based on MERIT, EFFICIENCY, AND COST. NOT RACE.

Jeremy on questions of IQ & worth:
99% of the time, I don't bother arguing with people who don't believe in the reality and critical importance of giftedness and IQ, because their arguments aren't interesting and are not going to be changed by whatever irrefutable facts you show them. On the other hand, in their heart of hearts the reason why so many of them CLAIM to believe in IQ blank-slatism is because many of them are atheists for whom IQ is actually the biggest thing that defines human worth and it breaks their sense of fairness and justice that it isn't equally distributed (which it most certainly is not). For religious people (Christians certainly, but also many others) the relevant criterion is that, regardless of intelligence, we are all made in the image of God and have inherent value because of that. And while IQ is important, real, and relevant to many social policies, it has no real relevance when it comes to ultimate questions of worth and human dignity. This is a better and more moral way to see the universe. And it has the additional advantage of being true.

What is the injustice being protested by these vile acts of dishonor? They are demonstrating their refusal to participate in any sense of national covenant, preferring their own lawless hell over order and the good. Unruly children.
There’s a new disturbing social media trend of BLM activists posting edited images of themselves urinating on Austin’s grave You can’t get much lower than this. Make these POS scum famous

Will is correct. It isn't that the market is wrong, it is that it naturally segregates and incentivizes. And, well...we can't have that.
I won’t deny that there are special interests that make it impossible for America to have whatever works well in a place like Japan But also the Japanese don’t have the "Kool-Aid pineapple problem" Healthcare in America for the productive citizenry would be far less expensive if we didn’t have to subsidize, through Medicaid, those people who never do anything at all to care for themselves In fact, Obamacare made discriminating on the basis of things like "weight" or "health" illegal, which is much of what pushed up healthcare cost substantially...turns out the price for the healthy goes up when they must subsidize 500 pound pineapple Kool Aid guzzlers. Shocker

You could have just elevated Onias IV, and avoided all this mess.
"Proportionate" response is Jimmy Carter language.  The Iranian regime will never give up its nukes, no matter what they say or sign.  We must be honest with ourselves.  Time will prove me right, and others who understand this.  It's now or likely never. If we cannot remove the uranium, then seriously consider contaminating the sites so no one can go anywhere near them for 100 years or more.  Remember the 1966 Palomares accident (you can look it up). Any further delays in taking out this regime, and that includes arming the people, will result in both unforeseeable and predictable consequences that will be severe and constant for us, our allies, and the West generally.  If not immediate then over time.  No amount of negative PR campaigns against Israel or Netanyahu, who best understand the nature of things in that region, will change that.  No amount of lobbying by Arab states and Turkey, who have their own interests and priorities (sound familiar) that may not and, in some cases, clearly do not align with ours, should sidetrack us.   Yes, we may lose the midterm elections, for a host of reasons that have not changed even before the war with Iran.  It would be disastrous in many ways, given the radicalism of the Democrat Party and its intent to destroy our constitution, border, and economic system.  But if we are perceived as losing this war, or as failing to finish the job, or declare victory without victory, it will be used against us.  Victory just happens to also be good politics.  The longer it takes, the more difficult it becomes.

PCA members, Ryan's question below is critical. It reveals a massive hypocrisy if so (the topic is widely discussed so claims of "ignorance" ring hollow)
Pca is this true? 53 percent of members strongly favor same sex marriage? And 40 percent in 2014? Yikes.
