I didn't realize there was someone left in Britain that had that passion and could also articulate it. She almost makes me change my mind about England's future. "Suppose ten are found there?" God responds, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it."

Ooof.

We gave up on “civility” when you tried to stage a literal coup via the “Trump/Russia Collusion” hoax. We abandoned “comity” when you decided that serial impeachments based on lies and fables were your preferred method of thwarting the Constitutional will of the American electorate. We decided against “collegiality” after you decided it was better to fabricate criminal charges to defeat your opponents than it was to try and defeat them at the ballot box. We threw out pretensions of “courtesy” the one-zillionth time you called us “Nazis” while your own candidates sport SS Totenkopf tattoos. We play by your rules now, Democrats. Deal with it. (You too, Mike Pence.)

A CNN reporter, a BBC reporter, and an Israeli commando are captured by Hamas in Gaza. The leader of the terrorists said he'd grant them each one last request before they were beheaded. The CNN Reporter said, "I’d like one last hamburger with fries.” The leader nodded and said it would be done. The BBC Reporter said, "I want to describe the scene here and what’s about to happen so my government knows I did the job until the end.” The leader nodded and said it would be done. Then he turned to the Israeli commando and said, “And what is your final wish?” “Kick me in the butt,” said the soldier. “Do not mock me, Jew.” “I’m not kidding. I want you to kick me in the butt.” So the terrorist leader shoved him into the open and kicked him in the behind. The soldier went sprawling but rolled to his knees, pulled a pistol they hadn't found, and shot the leader dead. Then he grabbed a rifle from another terrorist and suddenly they were all dead or fleeing. "You could've done that all along?" asked the Brit. "Yeah, why did you want to be kicked in the butt?" asked the American. “If I hadn't," replied the Israeli, “You two would have reported that I was the aggressor."

“The fact that they're building such a large administrative bureaucracy to administer this is a little concerning, mostly because our other fear with income tax is that, just like every other income tax in our nation's history, it's likely to lower the thresholds, likely to lower down under a million eventually,” says Ryan Frost, director of budget and tax policy at the @WAPolicyCenter. @WaHouseGOP @WAGOP @WashingtonSRC @letsgowa @KCGOP komonews.com/news/politics/e…

Worth noting those taxes are also on top of other contributions to society. Namely companies that provide employment and great products. By taxing people like Elon we are taking money from those who know how to effectively manage it and giving it to government that manages it poorly at best. That’s why the ROI per dollar from Tesla or SpaceX is much better than any government program.

I first heard this story in 1973 when I was deployed with 2/9. It's Marine Corps lore. Memories.

WHEH!!!!!

📯 NOTICE TO MARINERS — STRAIT OF HORMUZ 📯 ⚓️💰 Gulf News: Hormuz is now a gunboat bargaining table. Iran's new toll regime—pay in yuan, receive priority passage. Those who don't? "Postponed." The Strait is neither open nor closed. It's for sale. Two IRGC boats fired. One tanker hit. The price of transit just changed. 🇮🇷💵🌊 #Hormuz #MaritimeSecurity ⚓️

OK, I'm getting heat from some corners for not ripping Trump on the post of him healing Uncle Sam. So here are my thoughts: 1. Do I wish he had not posted it? Yes, I wish he had not posted it. Was it stupid to post it? Yes, it was stupid to post it. 2. It was somebody else's AI picture from months ago, FYI, and it was supposed to show Trump healing America, which I believe he is doing through hard work and strong policies. 3. It's not the first time he posted something stupid I wish he had not posted, and it won't be the last. 4. The choice is a strong, free America that supports the interests of average American citizens vs. the goals of a globalist cabal of neo-Marxists bent on enslaving us. I choose the former over the latter, and if that means I periodically need to overlook less important issues that I would otherwise strongly object to, so be it. I see the big picture. Many people do not. Explained.

Too many squishes in Tallahassee to make it happen. Two-thirds vote in both houses needed to make it so. Last time a judge was impeached in Florida was in 1978.

Propaganda 101

Hear me out. Trump called out Germany, South Korea, and Japan, for not willing to help with the Strait of Hormuz. What do these nations have in common? They are where we have the largest standing military presence outside the US. I think Trump is not just setting up a withdrawal from NATO, I think he is setting up a withdrawal of our military presence around the globe, and will eventually begin the process of consolidating US MIL presence to the Western Hemisphere, once we are done with Iran and the war in Ukraine is over. I think the end goal is normalized relations with Russia and China, and thus the permanent end to the Cold War that never really ended. This is only possible by removing US military presence off of China and Russia’s doorstep, as well as ending Russian/Chinese meddling in our hemisphere, via places like Venezuela and Cuba, which is already happening. What if the US, Russia, and China, just agreed to stop the espionage, weapons of mass destruction, proxy wars, and meddling in each other’s regions? What if the superpowers were on the same side instead of against each other? It’s possible, and things seem to be inching in that direction. Russia and China are losing their influence in the Western Hemisphere, and Trump is posturing like he is going to remove our presence in the Eastern Hemisphere. I think we are witnessing a restructure of the global order, and the global “alliances” as we know them are about to shift dramatically.

RE: The Way of War of Our Enemies In every hot war the United States has become involved in since the Korean War, we have enjoyed absolute tactical and operational dominance over our enemies. We win every tactical engagement, overwhelmingly. Operationally we can and do dominate any theater of our choosing. No one—and I mean NO ONE—can stand toe to toe with the US military. This has been true for decades. We’ve talked before about the elements of national power—the “DIME” (Diplomacy, Informational, Military, Economic). Our military power is unsurpassed. We are masters of diplomacy. We have the world’s strongest economy. So how do we lose? The INFORMATIONAL component. Our military opponents, from Ho Chi Minh to Osama bin Ladin, knew that the only way to defeat the USA is to demoralize the American populace such that it demands withdrawal and throws the then current Commander-in-Chief out of office. The ONLY way to defeat America militarily is to convince the American people that a war is unwinnable. The slow dribble of IED deaths in OIF was not actually targeting soldiers and Marines—it was targeting YOU, the American people. And CNN eagerly complied with death counts running across the bottom of the screen. The Tet Offensive? It was a decisive US victory that could have ended the Vietnam War in our favor. But Walter Cronkite instead declared the war lost, protests erupted nationwide, and the war was lost. The Highway of Death in Kuwait? We could have taken out Saddam Hussein in 1991 and never needed to go back in 2003, but international media made the attack on retreating Iraqis look “too cruel,” so we halted just short of the finish line. The strategic imperative of every one of America’s military enemies is to break the will of the American people with skewed information, propaganda, and extreme emphasis on America’s minor losses amidst overwhelming military victory. But the Ho Chi Minhs and Osama bin Ladins can’t do that by themselves. They need willing partners in the American media and government. And for Operation Epic Fury, boy oh boy do the Iranian mullahs have an over abundance of American morale killers to draw from in order to defeat America through the informational instrument of national power. Tucker Carlson. Senator Mark Kelly and the rest of the Seditious Six. CNN. ABC. NBC. CBS. NYT, WaPo. Pakistani bot armies on social media. X “influencers” like Cerno, Candace, MartyrMade and Ian Carroll. Every idiot claiming we are fighting “Israel’s war." There is an entire Army of American politicians and media figures who are willingly fighting Iran’s informational war on its behalf (and in some cases, at its behest). America is DECISIVELY WINNING the war on Iran in every measurable respect. Yet there are so many influential Americans who are desperately determined to make you believe otherwise. In days of old in non-US countries, such people would have been strung up for treason. Thankfully it’s 2026 and we have a First Amendment, so no one fear being treated in such a medieval manner. But we can still ostracize and ridicule such people and sources for the irreparable harm they are wreaking upon the USA as they do the bidding (intentionally or unintentionally) of Theo-fascist mullahs who are determined to set off a nuclear bomb so that the Twelfth Imam will arise from a well in Qom and precipitate the global apocalypse. We all need to choose sides. Are you with America, or are you with theologic-inspired, deliberate Armageddon? And anyone who chooses the latter needs to be the target of mockery, derision and clearly-stated facts disproving their lies. And if YOU are an American Patriot, you can fight that informational war on America’s behalf, right now, right here on social media, right there in your own living room. Your voice matters, and your voice is actually a part of the war. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.

Trump needs to get out his big stick and start stirring.

I got nothing

There are nearly 2 billion Muslims, many are peaceful, many are not. There is a 1,400-year history of Islamic conquests and colonization of endless cultures. Hundreds of millions of people (conservative estimate) have been forcibly converted, subjugated, enslaved, or killed by the Noble Faith of Peaceful Genocides. If you study the foundational Islamic tenets, they could not be any more antithetical to American freedoms & liberties. Literally. So, now I ask you: Given that we all know an Ahmad who is very nice and peaceful, what is the evidence that you would need to see, as Americans, to say: "I don't wish to tolerate Islam in my society?" Or is it that no amount of evidence can convince you because "freedom of religion"?

This one was for the longtime fans.

I have goosebumps!
