On this day in 1865, Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant. Lee showed up dressed in his best, looking like a dignified gentleman. Grant was covered in mud after riding all morning. Before anything was signed, the two men spoke about their shared service in the Mexican War -- a reminder that Confederates and Union soldiers were nonetheless countrymen tied by mystic chords of memory. Grant did not create terms of surrender to humiliate the South. Grant and Lincoln understood that to unify the nation, you could not imprison half of it. Confederates were allowed to keep their sidearms and personal horses. When Grant learned that Lee's men were quite literally starving after having not eaten for days, he ordered 25,000 rations sent to them immediately. Lee said this would have "a very happy effect" on his men. When Lee rode away after signing terms of surrender, Union soldiers cheered. Grant forced them to stop, reminding Union soldiers that Confederates were "now our countrymen" and there would be no cheering over their downfall. (In fact, days later when actual ceremonial surrender occurred, Union Gen. Josh Chamberlain reportedly ordered his men to salute passing Confederates as a sign of respect) Lee also worked diligently to stop Confederates from waging guerrilla warfare, encouraging them to set their arms aside and return home and in peace. He was a titan in his own right. If the spirit of 1865 had been driven by the urge to shame and punish, the Union would not have lasted. So many people today misunderstand that and as such, they try to rewrite America history. God Bless America.

Project Hail Mary writer Andy Weir on social commentary in books: "I dislike social commentary. Like… I really hate it. When I’m reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the author’s political agenda is validated. I hate that." "I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and I’m not trying to affect the reader’s opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that." "To that end, I also don’t talk about my personal political opinions publicly. I don’t want readers to even know, honestly. I don’t want that in the back of their minds as they read my stuff." Is this why he has the #1 sci-fi movie in decades?

Artemis II Delivers the First Human Observation of the Complete Orientale BasinDuring the lunar flyby phase of NASA’s Artemis II mission, the crew captured the first-ever images of the entire Orientale Basin as seen directly with human eyes.Orientale is a multi-ringed impact basin approximately 930 km (about 580 miles) in diameter, located near the southwestern limb of the Moon (as viewed from Earth). Because of its position straddling the near and far sides, only portions of its concentric rings and ejecta blanket have been visible from Earth or in previous orbital imagery at certain illuminations. The unique vantage point and trajectory of Artemis II allowed the crew to observe and photograph the full structure — including previously foreshortened or partially obscured segments — in a single, fully illuminated view.Formed roughly 3.8 billion years ago by a large asteroid or comet impact near the end of the Late Heavy Bombardment, Orientale is the youngest and best-preserved large impact basin on the Moon. Its well-defined concentric rings (the outermost Cordillera ring, the Outer Rook, and Inner Rook) provide a textbook example of how massive impacts excavate deep into the lunar crust and mantle, followed by gravitational collapse and rebound that create the characteristic bull’s-eye morphology.This new human-taken documentation adds valuable high-resolution visual context to existing datasets from spacecraft such as Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, GRAIL (which mapped its gravity anomalies), and earlier missions. It will support refined geological mapping, studies of impact dynamics, and preparation for future surface exploration in the region.The observation underscores that even well-studied lunar features can reveal new details when viewed from novel human perspectives during cislunar missions.The Moon continues to hold scientific surprises — and Artemis II is already expanding our understanding of its complex impact history.

Well, @ShawnRyan762, I know my comparing you to @maddow seems like a joke to some, but I can assure you that it is not. As a former SEAL that has sat in briefing rooms in theater, run ops against jihadist networks, and built a platform interviewing many sharp people in both operations and intelligence, you of all people should understand how strategic warfare actually works. Despite all of that, you are sitting here and pushing posts like a cable news commentator with rimmed glasses on a communist news network, framing decisive pressure against the world's leading state sponsor of militant jihadist terrorism as "chaos" and "loss." Let's cut through this selective timeline you laid out: Trump issued a brutal, unmistakable warning over the Strait of Hormuz, the chokepoint Iran's regime was weaponizing to strangle global energy and fund its proxies. That wasn't just some bluster for fun, it was quite literally combatant messaging 101 in asymmetric conflict against an enemy that only respects raw and credible power. Jihadist Islamists like the IRGC, Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, and their ilk don't negotiate in good faith or respond to polite diplomacy, and you absolutely know this. They only respond to negotiations from positions of strength. If you do not negotiate that way, they will probe weaknesses, exploit hesitation, and interpret restraint as invitations to push attacks. History from the Beirut barracks to the USS Cole to Benghazi and to decades of proxy attacks has proven that. You've had guests that have spoken about these things, yet you act ignorant of them now? This apocalyptic rhetoric is the only language these people understand, and you know it. Iran blinked because of that rhetoric, floated a ceasefire tied to reopening the strait, and the administration secured a pause to lock in gains. That is not "lighting the world on fire then calling the fire department," you two bit propagandist, that is literally the way war has always worked. It is coercion through strength: downgrade the enemy's capacity, signal willingness to escalate decisively, then offer the off ramp on your terms. It's wild that you are ignorant about this. And then you cry about Israel hitting Beirut like the soft lefty you have turned into... Beirut is in Lebanon, mind you, which is a completely different country than Iran. Perhaps you need a geography lesson as well as a lesson on strategic level warfare? So yeah, that is not Trump chaos, that is Israel finishing the job against an Iranian proxy that has quite literally fired thousands of rockets and embedded itself among civilians in Lebanon for decades. And Lebanon was explicitly carved out of the US and Iran ceasefire for a reason, so even bringing it up here is silly and meant to distract. Also, Iran quickly "closed" the Strait back up because they are purveyors of taqiyya style negotiations, just like jihadists always are. But let's talk about how they "closed" the Strait, because everyone is being dishonest about that as well. They didn't actually close anything, they are just signaling that they will attack ships that cross through it. All it takes is one drone or one missile hitting one tanker and 20% of the world's oil shipping halts until insurance companies feel confident that the crazy Islamic terrorist regime in Iran won't sink any more hundred million dollar tankers. You also conveniently leave out the real reason for this war from the get go, which is curtailing China and China's Belt and Road Initiative and re-establishing the world order firmly behind the United States. I miss the days just months ago when you weren't a fully captured op... seeing what you and guys like Kent have become is truly disheartening. I hope the money is worth it.

The Royal Navy is no longer fit for service in NATO. In August 2022, HMS Prince of Wales sailed out of Portsmouth to cross the Atlantic for joint exercises with the US Navy. She was the pride of the modern Royal Navy. A four-billion-pound aircraft carrier. The flagship of Global Britain. She made it about 20 miles. Then the propeller shaft coupling sheared & one of only two carriers in the entire British fleet limped back to port and spent the better part of a year in dry dock while American carriers did the work Britain had promised to do. That’s the Royal Navy in 2026. It’s a museum with a TickTock account. I’ve called the Canadian Navy a glorified Coast Guard but the UK can’t even keep migrant boats off its shores. Nelson had over 100 ships of the line at Trafalgar. The fleet that fought WW2 had over 900 warships. Horatio Nelson John Fisher Andrew Cunningham David Beatty Bertram Ramsay Edward Hawke George Rodney Richard Howe John Jellico And First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill are all spinning in their graves. If they were resurrected today they would each give British PMs the lash. Today the Royal Navy has roughly 70 commissioned vessels. Maybe 15 of them are meaningful surface combatants. It sounds marginally ok but any given day, a significant percentage are in dry dock, undermanned, or waiting for spare parts. And China launches more tonnage in a quarter than the Royal Navy possesses in total. You do not rule the waves. You do not rule the Channel. You rule a Wikipedia. And it gets worse. You don’t even rule the world’s imagination anymore. Master and Commander came out a quarter century ago and nobody’s planning a sequel. Scooby Doo got a sequel, Jack Aubrey does not. It’s sad. It’s pathetic. But even more sad is the fact you don’t stand up and demand one. Neither does the former Navy commanding officer you call King. You have decided to roll over instead. All six Type 45 destroyers, the backbone of Britain’s air defense fleet, had to be pulled back for emergency refits because their engines lose power in warm water. Read that again. They were practically useless in the Red Sea because they don’t have enough missiles and you didn’t buy the anti-air computers for their deck guns. Your last few nuclear submarine launches went plop and instead of trying again or calling the American missile manufacturer to court… you shrugged. This is the nuclear deterrent that is supposed to be the foundation of British sovereignty, the reason Britain sits at the UN Security Council, the last credible claim to great power status. It fell in the water next to the boat. Your ancestors circumnavigated the globe in wooden ships powered by rope and canvas. You built a billion-pound destroyer that overheats off Bahrain. Your frigates are too few to cover your own approaches. When Russian submarines transit the English Channel, the French Navy often shadows them because the Royal Navy cannot respond in time. The French. In your Channel. Protecting you. Nelson ain’t spinning in his tomb. He’s in the Atlantic laughing at you. Americans patrol the Gulf you depend on for energy. Americans keep Taiwan’s chips flowing to your factories. Americans are the reason the Houthis have not fully closed the Red Sea to British-flagged shipping. We are happy to help until now. Until Starmer tried selling off our only base in the Indian Oceans then refused to let us land planes. OUR OWN BASE Yes he relented but only under pressure. We will help protect your interests but on one condition: DO NOTHING No selling bases No overflight refusals No more dock denials in Gibraltar No crazy ROE debates No politicians demeaning us in debates No threating Elon Musk And no more 134 Royal Navy Admirals in cosplaying aboard your 15 broken warships. Tell them to hang up their uniforms and go home. OR STAND UP, make the king overthrow parliament & fund a proper navy Fight for your birthright or F*ck off. Your choice.

Comparing wooden ships of the line to a QE-class carrier is like comparing a carrier pigeon to a satellite. Quality > Quantity. A single Type 45 has more littoral dominance than Nelson’s entire fleet combined. The issues are real, but let’s not pretend the RN isn't still the most capable European force in NATO. 🇬🇧"

Lo más triste de todo este asunto con Irán y Cuba, y antes con Venezuela, es que el mundo lleva décadas observando en silencio, callando, siendo cómplice, mirando hacia otra parte. Pero entonces toda la responsabilidad y la culpa la quieren poner en Estados Unidos. Es decir, si Estados Unidos no hubiera intervenido el 3 de enero el hijo de puta de Maduro habría seguido en el poder, habrían seguido reprimiendo a los venezolanos, no habrían soltado siquiera a un solo preso político y Cuba habría seguido desangrando la industria petrolera de Caracas. Si Estados Unidos no hubiera lanzado misiles y ataques contra Irán, todavía estuvieran los antiguos líderes, ya fallecidos, con decenas de muertos en sus manos, burlándose del Derecho Internacional, de los derechos humanos y de las mujeres iraníes. Si Estados Unidos no hubiera ejercido presión sobre Cuba, aunque insuficiente, el régimen cubano no se hubiera visto al menos contra la pared, pidiendo agua por señas. Yo no soy fanático ni defensor de los Estados Unidos, y menos de ningún presidente, ni demócrata ni republicano; y se les puede criticar a todos muchísimas cosas, pero la realidad, aunque te duela, es que mucha gente debería darles las gracias a los Estados Unidos por intentar poner un poco de orden en regiones que se han cagado olímpicamente, durante larguísimas décadas, en la dignidad y el bienestar de millones de ciudadanos. Para la izquierda, Estados Unidos es malo. Estados Unidos quiere petróleo. Estados Unidos solo interviene para buscar control. ¿Y qué carajos hace la izquierda? Irán mata homosexuales y ustedes callados. Afganistán prohibe el sonido de las mujeres y ustedes callados. Venezuela reprime, destierra y censura y ustedes callados. Nicaragua encarcela y mata y ustedes callados. Cuba fusila, acosa, humilla, te hace la vida imposible y ustedes callados. En Nigeria masacran a cientos de cristianos y ustedes callados. En varias regiones de África castran a los varoncitos y le aplican la mutilación genital femenina a las hembritas y ustedes callados. La izquierda es más mala, cínica, hipócrita e hija de puta que el mismísimo Satanás.

Only he's wrong. The US can't even control the Hormuz Strait, Russian Oil is flowing at record levels through direct pipes into China and Saudi values China as its largest customer. You think Saudi will stop selling oil to it's largest revenue producer if the US asks it to? Think again. China is also leading in renewable production, further reducing dependencies.

It’s about 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 — and America is winning on every front. Start with oil. The Strait of Hormuz carries 𝟒𝟓% 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚’𝐬 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲. Trump effectively captured Venezuela’s oil supply in January. As Armstrong put it: “𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘸𝘩𝘰’𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯. 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘪𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴.” China is in the middle of a tariff negotiation with Trump — and suddenly its entire energy supply depends on American goodwill. Then Europe. With Russian energy off the table and domestic energy hollowed out by the “𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘯𝘦𝘵 𝘻𝘦𝘳𝘰,” Europe is becoming 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐚𝐬. Armstrong: “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘢𝘴 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘰𝘰.” Armstrong connected the dots to what the Pentagon calls 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚 — Greenland through the Panama Canal, the entire Western Hemisphere secured as a self-sufficient American economic and security zone. “𝘕𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥, 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦-𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘯.

When a foreign ally’s own news anchors are publicly acknowledging that Trump’s strategy is working — even as it leaves them behind — that tells you everything about who has the leverage.
