Tina Peters, Colorado And The Hypocrisy Express: Governor Jared Polis Mans Up and Outs Himself And His Corrupt Democrat Cronies When The Shoe Hits The Other Foot

Before getting carried away giving Polis too much credit for his forthright and honest take on this, take note that this is a political kindred soul of his and the bottom-line takeaway is that the hypocrisy is so obvious-the bright and shiny double standard of justice from a lady who is supposed to be blindfolded-that it forced Polis to fess up.

The Persian Spring (Will It Bloom or Wilt?); A top-level analysis of strategic possibilities regarding the fallout of Epic Fury. High risk, high reward.

There are several things to highlight when it comes to the situation in Iran and Israel right now. These talking points are designed to highlight some of the likely global effects worth being aware of, to track how they unfold in real time, and to anticipate the future.

Red China is the big loser in Iran; Red China’s military equipment is as reliable as Acme’s. Meep-meep

A side benefit of the Operation Epic Fury is testing the war materiel of the Russian and Red Chinese military. With little exception, they are failing again as they did in the extraction of Maduro from Venezuela

Blood, Guts, and Winning Wars: Why Patton Still Makes Modern Leaders Uncomfortable

Patton’s most famous line, delivered to the Third Army in 1944, captured his philosophy better than any manual ever written: “No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.” That was not just colorful language. It was a direct rejection of the romantic nonsense that had gotten an entire generation slaughtered in World War I. Patton had seen that war. He had been wounded in it. He understood that modern industrial warfare was not a stage for heroic poetry. It was a contest of logistics, speed, firepower, and will. His job was not to produce martyrs. His job was to produce victory.

Returning to the Founding: Does the Presidential Pardon Power Extend to State Offenses? An Originalist Reexamination

Was it a miracle?

I have long accepted the conventional view that the President’s constitutional power to grant pardons extends only to federal offenses leaving violations of state law beyond his reach. However, when one examines the historical and textual record more closely, one begins to question whether this limitation truly reflects the original understanding at the Founding.

The Dollar Isn’t Backed by Gold — It’s Backed by DIME and a Carrier Strike Group

Let’s retire the fairy tales.

The U.S. dollar is not backed by gold. It’s not backed by “faith.” It’s not backed by vibes. It’s backed by power — specifically the kind of power that sails in carrier strike groups, negotiates trade deals, controls sea lanes, writes sanctions law, insures shipping, and can ruin your economy before your stock market even opens.

What We’re Seeing Today Didn’t Start Yesterday — It Started the Night Obama Won

The first big shift was philosophical. After the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Obama administration openly argued that America needed to move away from large, unilateral military commitments. The 2010 National Security Strategy said U.S. leadership could not be defined by war alone and emphasized partnerships, international institutions, and diplomacy over long-term occupation. That sounds reasonable on paper, and after two exhausting wars, a lot of Americans agreed. But it also marked a clear departure from the post-Cold War mindset where the United States acted as the unquestioned global enforcer. Instead of “we lead, others follow,” the tone became “we lead, but only if everyone signs off first.”

It Is About Time Iran Was Punished At The Nation State Level: If You Don’t Know Why, Shut Up, Sit Up, Listen Up And Learn

A yellow and blue book cover

The bottom Line Up Front is that Iran effed around for nearly 45 years before the US finally had enough of their worldwide terrorism sponsorship, saber rattling, murder of Americans and meddling in the gulf, and it is about time that they got punched in the mouth-hard-and repeatedly-which began in earnest with last year’s strikes on their nuclear missile development activities.
