Democrats Join Iran’s Tyrants To Sabotage America’s Commander In Chief
Obama left Americans to die in Libya, Biden left Americans to die in Afghanistan and Trump spared no expense to rescue two downed pilots behind enemy lines in Iran. This demonstrates true leadership, not cowardice.
I Taught a Robot to Drawl; One Man’s Conversation with the Future
My first concept of robots came from watching The Jetsons before school in my underpants. My boyhood morning routine consisted of sitting on the sofa in my tighty-whities, eating Cap’n Crunch, watching television, and listening to my mother say, “Get those underpants off my couch, Mister!”

Comparing Military Capabilities: Israel versus Selected NATO Countries; What US allies potentially bring to the table for Epic Fury
President Trump has put US allies in NATO on notice about providing security for ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. He has also condemned specific NATO countries for denying use of NATO air bases and other facilities in support of Operation Epic Fury (the Iran rescue that is ongoing).
Trump trolls the world; AM complaint: He’s gonna destroy a civilization. PM complaint: Trump chickened out.
It was Taco Tuesday at our house last night. OK, we had Mexican pizzas from Taco Bell, but that is close enough for two kids in Appalachia.
It also was Trump Trolls the World Tuesday.
The Infamous Zapruder Film And The Issue Of Its Veracity: Why Did The Government Employ Intelligence Resources In A Secret Squirrel Operation To Evaluate The Film? Part 6
By the summer of 1963 Vice President Johnson-LBJ-was carrying a lot of baggage and was somewhat on the outs with the administration. Open rumors abounded that were not being denied by the JFK administration that alternatives were being considered for LBJ on the JFK ticket, should he be investigated by congress for either the Billy Sol Estes or Bobby Baker investigations, or both.
The Name Game
The night I was born, my mother took me into her arms and decided that she was going to name me Elvis.
My aunt recalls: “Your mama loved Elvis. Plus, you were a Capricorn, you know. Elvis and Jesus were Capricorns.”
Hedge Fund Electric: $5 Billion in 2025 Profits. 18% in 2026-2027 Rate Hikes
“Privatize the profit – socialize the costs?” You betcha.
Utility companies are their own personalized legal black hole. Private companies own them – but get all sorts of government cronyism to aid and abet their profit making and taking.
It’s a quintessential example of the Diet Fascism that now dominates the US.
Who needs Europe? We pay to defend them and absorb $200 billion in annual trade deficits.
Just three years ago, Rubio and Tim Kaine succeeded in getting Congress to prohibit the president from unilaterally suspending, terminating, denouncing, or withdrawing the U.S. from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization without the approval of two-thirds of the Senate.
Trump has a hard enough time getting one-third of the Senate to agree with him, let alone two.
But he has a phone and a pen. And he has a growing plurality of Americans who believe NATO’s time ended when the Soviet Union died.
Someone Should Sue to Break Up Big Tech’s DC Lobby Monopoly
“‘The message is clear,’ New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez, whose investigation resulted in a jury finding on Tuesday that Meta must pay $375 million for failing to protect kids from child predators, told POLITICO in an interview. ‘It’s time to change the way these companies do business.’
Hormuz Isn’t Guadalcanal: Iran Is Playing Chess While We’re Still Planning Amphibious Landings
Somewhere in the Pentagon filing cabinets sits a 2017 document that reads less like doctrine and more like a warning label we ignored. The Joint Concept for Access and Maneuver in the Global Commons (JAM-GC) laid it out plainly: the United States wins wars because we can show up anywhere on earth, kick in the door, and maneuver freely across air, sea, space, and cyber. That’s our superpower. Not just firepower—access. And the bad guys figured that out.
Will DHS Remove Customs Processing From Sea-Tac, PDX, SFO, LAX & Other Airports In Sanctuary Cities?
Mullin: “Seriously, if they are a sanctuary city and receiving international flights, and we are asking them to partner with us at the airport, but once they walk out of the airport, they are not going to enforce immigration policy. Maybe we should have a hard look at that . . .”
US-Israeli Operations and the Strategic Reset in the Middle East: The arc of operations in a three-act campaign
By initiating Operation Epic Fury, President Trump has pulled the trigger on a strategic reset in the Middle East. This is the third act in a campaign that has unfolded from June 2025 through March 2026. Epic Fury is not a single military event but a phased, coordinated strategic campaign with no clear precedent in post-Cold War American foreign policy. Understanding it requires tracing the sequence.
Joe Kent And The 18 Intelligence Agencies
Joe Kent says all 18 agencies of the Intelligence Community agree, Iran is not a threat. That statement does not add up.
The Progressive Transformation of the Democrat Party, 1956–2024 Robert Conquest’s Second Law was the mechanism
Robert Conquest’s Second Law of Politics states: “Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing.” The corollary logic is that progressive activists, being more ideologically motivated than moderates, systematically infiltrate, outlast, and eventually dominate institutions — whether universities, media organizations, NGOs, professional associations, or political parties.
From Wolf to Weapon System: How Man Engineered the Dog After the Reset
Forget the timeline arguments for a minute. Set aside the academic cage match over dates, carbon curves, and who’s got the better spreadsheet of ancient dust. Start instead with something far more obvious—there was a world before everything went sideways, and there was a world after.
Tinfoil Hats, Conspiracy Theories and Truth
Have you ever been accused of “wearing a tinfoil hat?” Those who blindly accept every official narrative of the mainstream press, the government, the healthcare industry, and the culture at large, often like to ridicule people who have doubts or questions as “conspiracy theorists.” They mock them, saying they’re wearing “tinfoil hats.”
It Is Time To publicly Heal An American Patriot Whose Name Was Dragged Through The Mud: LTG Michael T. Flynn (US Army, Retired) Part 3
This movement against Trump-which has been best described by Dan Bongino on his Podcast-to undermine Trump has subtle differences. The effort is best characterized as a collusion of influencers-a block of well-known personalities-Pod casters, former solid republicans, MAGA cheerleaders and the like-who want to finesse the future into a world where we can achieve many of the Trump policies-the framework-without Trump.
