Still there.

Quite. Said more yesterday (link); reality is what it is. Either we manage alliances & agreements w/other nations, incl incentives of trade & other benefits, or we have to conquer & establish rule over a whole lot of them. Choose the alliances etc option. x.com/OptimisticCon/…

Brief comment on this: isolationism was—at best—a pipe dream in the 1930s. Today, in the era of AI, ICBMs, UAVs, and domains like cyber and space, it is an impossibility.

Truth!

BTW, this is another exc effort to review & reduce regulation. Been writing about this for yrs. Reg is number 1 factor in spiraling US cost of living. Doesn't go away when inflation does, or int rates come down. Affects everything. Keeps raising ⬆️entry price of middle class.



Socialism bustles in & starts acting like the Cleveland offensive line of 20 yrs ago. "All sacks, all the time! High five!"

As Mamdani invoked the “Vienna model” of housing during his election campaign, the latest budget figures released in Vienna today offer a sobering counter-narrative. The city now carries €14.89 billion in debt - this is an all-time high, and faces a €2.63 billion deficit.…



This certainly sounds worth knowing about. Will have to parse. I'm better with submarines, acoustics, & sound velocity profiles.

Cold War 2.0 screams from every corner and in every field. Anthropic detected and disrupted a Chinese state-sponsored espionage campaign that exploited Claude Code for autonomous infiltration of tech firms, banks, chemical manufacturers, and government agencies.



I don't comment on this often, b/c I'd rather focus on what we need to do than on lunacy. But this is unhinged. Suddenly Dinesh D'Souza is the uniparty?

BANNON: Fuentes took Dinesh apart brick by brick. The kid showed up with facts, fire, and focus, and the old guard had nothing. No answers. No fight. Just the same tired uniparty playbook that gave us endless wars, China’s rise, and a debt spiral. Con Inc. still lives in the…

🚨 JUST NOW: HUD Secretary Scott Turner says the Trump administration will meet with local developers to figure out ALL the regulations they need to axe so houses become more affordable for young people. "We have to take an inventory...then make the decisions to UNLEASH…

I've been talking about it incessantly. It's a much bigger problem than illegal migration, b/c it won't go away except by changing our entire perspective on what govt should be doing.

Add to this video - women's voices cannot be heard in public, including from the windows of their houses, and there are those who believe women should have only one eye - it is enough to see out of the burka. Biden abandoned them all.

This is the current state of Afghanistan. Absolutely horrific.



Nonsense.

Trump's order to change the Department of Defense's name to the 'Department of War' could cost an estimated $2B in taxpayer dollars.

Yes, buildings are hideouts & weapons caches for Hamas, wherever they're still intact. If the current-ceasefire number is 1500, Israel is being quite selective. Hamas has demonstrated for near 20 yrs that it will use any type of building - yet Israel isn't destroying them all.

It was part of the deal - eliminating tunnels, weapons depots & more. Buildings are buildings. Hamas torturing & killing Pal people in the streets & stealing aid was NOT part of the deal. Report on that, please, @BBCWorld



Important indeed; will help explain Egyptian behavior. US can help using econ & diplomacy to ensure China & Russia don't jump in & push these buttons/weight the scales. They have motive. They're already there w/a level of ability to do so. US: solutions for stability. Heads up.

Hugely important look at Egypt as the EGYPTIANS see threats to their security. We dispute the Israel part - Egypt allowed weapons smuggling through Rafah, so IDF control is necessary & Egypt is using drones to smuggle weapons into ISR through Sinai. Hmmm...



You really can't.

You can't make this stuff up.

I don't care about a Babylon Bee joke when this is going on

Change "But" to "And," and it has a very interesting impact on the thinking about this.

Great point here. Mamdani and the other socialists have made "affordability" their issue. But it is the socialists and their allies who are making goods and services less affordable -- and they will continue to do so as long as credulous voters put them into office.



Well said. And thanks for sharing; had not picked upon this yet. It's a good move. Long overdue.

Woke right: MAGA is dead MAGA: we're doing what no other admin ever did



Or the awful scenes that used to meet the eyes of US sailors when the former-Soviet livestock carriers had system failures at sea & started offloading the livestock wherever they happened to be.

What the video doesn’t tell you about livestock ships is the horrible smell.
