A great piece on why tactical success—skillfully bombing a bunch of stuff—doesn’t yield strategic victory. You’d think we would have learned by now… but then again, our policymakers — and our country writ large — always have incredibly short memories. open.substack.com/pub/strategicc…

Goddamn I love Southern California.

It is our country’s leaders — the people we elected — who are choosing to do nothing. Remember that when you go to the voting polls — or legally cast your vote by mail — this November.

This week’s stream of deranged Truth Social posts from the president, and now his vile, tasteless posting of a video of a man beating a woman to death with a hammer — is once again a crystal clear sign to the American people that he is unfit to serve as the commander-in-chief. 🧵

Feeling overwhelmed by Trump’s Iran nonsense? I have it on good authority that Emery will showcase Ozzy Osbourne on her radio show this week. Tune in to “Brainfood with DJ Memery Lane” tomorrow and every Wednesday at 9:00AM Pacific at the following link: twitch.tv/ksdtradio

Devastating. @shellykittleson was reporting in Al Anbar when Task Force Lion was operating with the ISF in 2017-18. In a time when U.S. forces couldn’t go anywhere without up-armored vehicles & ISF escorts, she moved across an active combat zone with just a backpack & a notebook.

Goddamn I love Southern California. #NoKingsDayMarch2026

This is a well-deserved honor for Seth, who committed to being open, honest and transparent about what he and his Marines saw in combat.
