France has a nuclear aircraft carrier and the best frigates ever built. UK can’t deploy a single warship in 5 weeks. So why do we still call it the English Channel?

DOGE is bad because it's not a true "audit." For it to be a real audit, it must come from the Ernst & Young region of France. Otherwise, it's just a sparkling exposure of corrupt Left Wing bureaucrats.

Whoever put Tulsi on that enhanced TSA screening list is sh*tting their pants right now

What happened? Lots of bullying, snubs, investigations, illegally canceled contracts over things like Starlink, and insane policies from the Biden/Harris (and far left) towards Elon and his businesses. It is because of the FCC’s cancellation of the Starlink contract that thousands of Hurricane Helene families don’t have internet access right now. How many people couldn’t find escape routes or effectively plan because they had no internet thanks to Biden’s FCC? It all started around 2020 when people like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren began attacking Elon on X merely for being a billionaire and calling for investigations into his businesses for absolutely no reason. Elon wasn’t really political on Twitter before this. The Biden/Harris held an EV summit in 2021 and didn’t invite Tesla, which literally sold 80% of electric vehicles in the U.S. at the time, while praising the CEO of GM as the “leader in EV’s” with less than 5% market share. Pause for a moment and think about how dumb this is. If Biden/Harris had just left Elon alone and let him run his businesses, or had chosen to work with him to HELP AMERICANS instead of fighting him at every turn, Elon wouldn’t have a needed to become political. Literally they have one of the greatest minds available to America (Elon), and not only did this administration and political party squander his talent, they actively took measures to TARGET his businesses with all the tools in Biden’s “we have many ways” lawfare toolbox. They literally pushed Elon into a corner. Elon didn’t have a choice. Elon was a DEMOCRAT before all of this happened. He was, and still is, a moderate. And I haven’t even gotten to the first amendment yet. Alarm bells definitely went off in Elon’s head when many social media accounts on the right were being censored and deleted on Twitter, including Donald Trump’s account. You, being a close follower of Elon’s story, should know how this journey started why Elon had no other choice but to get politically involved. That’s what happened.

RT @BLACKLOTUSTAC: Man killed in road rage incident looks like the police are ruling it self defense

Assassination Porn and the Sickness on the Left If we were leftists and we were to use leftist tropes to editorialize the recent attempt on Trump’s life, then we would frame the assassination attempt in the following way: We have witnessed for years blatant exceptions to the once common custom that we don’t normalize the imagined killing of any president or presidential candidate and thus lower the bar of violence. But the Left constantly makes Trump an exception. Now, it as if the imagined killing of Trump had been mainstreamed and become acceptable in a way inconceivable of other presidents. (Do we remember the rodeo clown who merely wore an Obama mask during a bull riding contest and was punished by being permanently banned by the Missouri State Fair authorities?) So since at least 2016 there has been a parlor game among Leftist celebrities and entertainers joking (one hopes), dreaming, imagining, and just talking about the various and graphic ways they would like to assassinate or seriously injure Trump: By slugging his face (Robert De Niro), by decapitation (Kathy Griffin, Marilyn Manson), by stabbing (Shakespeare in the Park), by clubbing (Mickey Rourke), by shooting ( Snoop Dogg), by poisoning (Anthony Bourdain), by bounty killing (George Lopez), by carrion eating his corpse (Pearl Jam), by suffocating (Larry Whilmore), by blowing him up (Madonna, Moby), by throwing him over a cliff (Rosie O’Donnell), just by generic “killing” him (Johnny Depp, Big Sean), or by martyring him (Reid Hoffman: “Yeah, I wish I had made him an actual martyr.”). Or should we deplore the use of telescopic scope imagery, given that the Left blamed Sarah Palin for once using bullseye spots on an election map of opposition congressional districts, claiming that such usage had incited the mass shooting by Jared Lee Loughner? Yet, recently POTUS Joe Biden was a little bit more graphic and a lot more literal. In a widely reported call to hundreds of donors last week, Biden boasted, “I have one job, and that’s to beat Donald Trump. I’m absolutely certain I’m the best person to be able to do that. So, we’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.” "In a bullseye?” At least, Biden did not go back to the full Biden beat-up porn of the past (e.g., “If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him"/ “The press always asks me, ‘Don’t I wish I were debating him?’ No, I wish we were in high school – I could take him behind the gym. That’s what I wish.”). Then there is the question of the Secret Service and one’s political opponents. Given the tragic history of the Kennedys, why in the world did the Biden administration not insist that third-party candidate Robert Kennedy, Jr. be accorded Secret Service protection? Because his candidacy was felt to be disadvantageous to Biden? And why just this April would the former head of the January 6th Committee and 2004 election obstructionist Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) introduce legislation ridiculously entitled, “Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act” to strip away Secret Service protection for former President Trump and by this April current leading presidential candidate? Had Thompson’s bill passed, would that not have been confirmation for a potential shooter to feel his task was just made much easier? But in a wider sense, if the common referent day after day on the Left is that Trump is another Hitler (cf. a recent The New Republic cover where Trump is literally photoshopped as Hitler), then it seems reckless not to imagine an unhinged or young shootist believing that by taking out somewhat identical to one of the greatest mass murderers in history, he would be applauded for his violence? So is their logic, shoot Trump and save six million from the gas chambers? After all, The New Republic defiantly explained their Hitler-Trump cover photo this way, "Today, we at The New Republic think we can spend this election year in one of two ways. We can spend it debating whether Trump meets the nine or 17 points that define fascism. Or we can spend it saying, “He’s damn close enough, and we’d better fight.” Well, New Republic, recently someone took you up on your argument that Trump was “damn close enough” to Hitler and so he likewise chose to “fight”— albeit with a semi-automatic rifle. If ad nauseam, a Joy Reid is screaming about Trump as a Hitlerian dictator ("Then let me know who I got to vote for to keep Hitler out of the White House”) or Rachel Maddow is bloviating about studying Hitler to understand Trump, then finally the message sinks in that a mass murderer is about to take power—unless.... Finally, the idea, if true, that bystanders spotted a 20-year-old on a nearby roof with a gun, a mere 130 yards from Trump, and in vain warned police of his presence, is surreal. Is it all that hard for the Secret Service to post a few agents on the tops of a few surrounding buildings closest to the dais, or at least coordinate with local law enforcement to do the same? That is a no brainer. Whoever made the decisions concerning the proper secret service security details for presidential events should be immediately fired.
