🇺🇦❗️“I have no idea what the allies have been looking at for four years while we have been at war,” — Ukrainian military instructors who went to help counter Iranian missiles and UAVs are shocked by the way the US shoots down “Shaheds,” writes The Times – First, the Persian Gulf countries launched as many as 8 Patriot missiles at one (!) enemy target, each costing more than $3 million. – They often used a ship-based SM-6 missile, worth about $6 million, to shoot down a “Shahed” worth $70,000. – The US and its allies often literally “shine” their radars like beacons — without proper camouflage. Ukrainians work differently: mobile radars constantly change positions. For example: just three (!) cheap Shahed drones destroyed the AN/FPS-132 early warning radar (~$1 billion) and another air defense radar (~$300 million), which had been standing in one place for months and were perfectly “readable” from satellites.

America’s foreign policy toward Southeast Asia under Trump has been: 1. Slap them with the some of the highest tariff rates in the world 2. Launch Section 301 investigations of their trade practices 3. Create a global energy and commodities crisis that singles them out for special pain bc of the region’s reliance on Strait of Hormuz The scenario below is dark, dark, dark … but we have basically waged slow-motion economic warfare against our allies in one of the most important regions in the world.

Spot on, @PostOpinions: TSA’s Screening Partnership Program can avoid (or at least delay) airport security chaos from government shutdowns. But its potential is limited by poor design. We need direct airport contracting and an independent revenue stream. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

Wow found out today that SFO has its own private security after one of my founders in SF said "What security issues? It took me 20 minutes today." SF is truly different lol


James Talarico on listening to real Texans about border policy, not the groups in DC who say they represent them.

The American right had a once in a generation moment to crush the left and squandered it.



“I'm really scratching my head because I voted Republican, and most of us in the fishing industry did, and we're not seeing the the positives come out of it, why we voted that way.”

Footage filmed by Reuters showed members of the Iranian women’s national soccer team attending a welcoming ceremony in Tehran, after returning home from Australia reut.rs/4rIAJuc

The Free Beacon is now going after Mamdani’s wife for posts when she was 15. This is what happens when you feed this beast.

Phil hasn't met too many Marines, has he now?

Whatever social media app I use now, there is just so much antisemitism flowing through there. It’s disturbing.

Tucker Carlson on Europe: There are people in the U.S. government who really hate Europe, and I don’t really understand why.

A Tucker Carlson / Joe Kent ticket would steam roll anything Democrats or Republicans could bring. It's laughable when people try to argue this with me. Spend some time offline. Good looking, physically fit white men are back "in."
