@catturd2 It was the Democrats’ attempt at their very own Reichstag fire.

@ScotsFyre At this point, it's fair to ask if there's any hostile power he doesn't take money from.

My advice to Vance: Announce your support of 25th amendment transition. Say Chris Murphy or similar will be veep. Announce you will NOT be a candidate in 2028. Use your position, access to the media to explain why this is necessary. Don't resign.

...What is different in this probe is that it is pursuing the real grand conspiracy from the end of the Obama administration — the creation of a false narrative to kneecap the first Trump administration.

The Hill is out with my column on the news that James Comey has been subpoenaed in the Russian collusion probe. The real Russian collusion conspiracy. At issue is what could be the greatest political hit job in history...thehill.com/opinion/crimin…

@streetwiseprof This latest episode with Iran has demonstrated the utter impotence of Europe and the uselessness of NATO to the United States. Time to say, “Au revoir et bonne chance.”

The more Republican the South became, the less racist it became. That’s an irrefutable, undeniable fact. The “Great Switch” never happened. It’s a myth. The racist Democrats died off and their anti-racist Republican children replaced them. The Democrat Party is now and always has been the party of racism.

@UcheMaryOkoli Let's say I'm heading out for a flight, and I say my prayer before I head up. What would be better? Should I direct my prayer directly to the Father, as Jesus instructed, or should I defer to St. Joseph of Cupertino, patron saint of pilots (among other things)?

If you can ask your mortal Pastors and friends to pray for you, why are you offended when Catholics asks the Saints in Heaven to pray for them? Does your Bible not tell you that anyone who dies in Christ lives? The Saints in Heaven are way more alive than your most powerful pastors combined on earth.

The Protestant objection isn't that the Church Triumphant isn't alive, but that there is no evidence that they can hear every single prayer directed towards them. Prayer is not telepathic communication. It is grounded in God's omniscience, the idea that He knows all our thoughts better than we know them ourselves. There is no reason to suspect that anyone but God can see all of our thoughts.

The UN for the first time in history just officially named a sitting U.S. president Donald Trump as a racist whose hate speech has caused grave human rights violations. Congratulations America.

Let me tell you the secret difference between a Navy and merchant ship captain that goes beyond the obvious. It’s 1AM & I feel sick to my stomach over this war and can’t sleep. I’m at a shipowner conference & I had dinner with a gentleman from Dubai and one from Tel Aviv. Both had the dispassion of distance but one told me his family is furious with America and it won’t be safe to visit his nation for years. The other said his nation is eternally grateful. Both are getting attacked by Iran with similar weapons but the reactions are polar opposite. The difference of course is duration. One thinks if we stop tomorrow then Iran will stop. The other thinks if we stop tomorrow the attacks will never end. Perception is an important component of reality. Iran knows this which is why they are attacking Iran. Iran’s calculus includes perception and public outrage. Change the UAE’s perception to that of Israel & the bombing of Dubai would likely stop. Calculus is important in war. Now of course it’s not just perception. The US did strike Iran knowing the calculus. We are responsible for the strikes. What does this have to do with commercial ships? At the conference every single shipowner I talk to says it’s not worth risking a single life running the Strait of Hormuz. The merchant marine captain part of my brain agrees fully with this. The problem is the son of a decorated veteran buried in Arlington does not. The duty of any captain, merchant or Navy, is to do the most good for the most number of people. We would not risk the lives of a single crew saving a ship that’s sinking. That is unless people are trapped below. In that case I might need to risk the life of 2 crew members to go below and rescue 6. The most good for the most people. I don’t care if the ship sinks. It & the cargo are replaceable. But the calculus for a Navy captain is different. The slogan of the Navy is “Don’t give up the ship.” In war a Navy captain might risk the lives of his entire crew to prevent one ship from sinking. Economically the calculus is the same. The Navy ship is more expensive but the government has infinitely more wealth than a shipowner. A warship & a merchant ship can both be replaced with money. The big difference is the Navy ship has a bigger mission than itself. It must stay floating to protect the 5,000+ crew of a carrier or millions in a city it’s defending. The merchant ship captain has nothing more to protect bigger than his ship. Today US Merchant Mariners are typically given medals under one condition: in support of a military mission. These ships are a hybrid. They carry regular cargo most of the time & the captain would let that cargo sink before risking one life. But what if it’s carrying medical supplies? That cargo could save hundreds of lives, a lot more than his 25 crew. If it’s carrying anti-air missiles? Without resupply of those the warship is useless. Now the merchant ship is almost as important as the warship. If it’s carrying fuel for the carrier air wing? Now it might be MORE important than a single destroyer. That’s the secret difference between a merchant & Navy captain. Now the majority of merchant ships in the Persian Gulf do not have military cargo so no shipowner wants to risk a single life. The problem nobody here seems to realize (I got angry replies for bringing up) is individually each ship is replaceable & each individual cargo load is not too important. But collectively the calculus changes. Roughly a third of all fertilizer comes from the Gulf. More if you include the energy needed to make fertilizer elsewhere. One ship won’t make a difference but dozens of sunk ships would lead to mass starvation. “So don’t send any ships through and nothing will be sunk,” said one owner. OK but the ship is not the limiting factor. Delivery of the cargo is. So if Iran sinks 10 ships but 90 make it through, people won’t starve. That’s the new calculus nobody seems to understand.

It is astounding how pretty much the entire left have given up on climate change as an issue. It was omnipresent for ages, and now it barely features at all in leftist discourse. Sort of makes you wonder if their commitment to it was ever real.

It is not "racist" to say radical Islam isn't compatible with America because radical Islam isn't a race. It's an ideology. And that ideology does not mesh with Western values. This is just a fact.

So Muslims can just take over/destroy the country with Islam and we can't do anything because of religious freedom. There must be some way to stop this insanity.
