CALL TO ACTION: Tell your House Rep to Remove Military Collaboration with Israel from this Year’s Defense Bill ❌ Section 224: US-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation CALL YOUR HOUSE REP: 202-224-3121 SIGN THE LETTER: Link in 2nd Post

@mandyarthur Suicide is illegal. So there’s that.

Matt Brown of Alaskan Bush People took his own life on Wednesday. His body was recovered from a river today. He had a long, difficult battle with addiction but was a firm believer in Jesus Christ. I pray he is in paradise today. Please keep his family in your thoughts.

@leahfiles I’d rather be synching with China or Russia.

Are we merging forces with Israel or is this all clickbait? I read Section 224 so you don't have to. Here you go! First, one clarification to what is being communicated online, Section 224 does not "literally" merge U.S. and Israeli "troops" into one army. No American soldiers are put under Israeli command, and no Israeli soldiers are folded into U.S. units. The phrase "merge the militaries" comes from critics of the provision, and it is a characterization of the effect they fear, not the literal text. What the provision actually does though is fuse the two countries at the level of defense technology and the defense industry. It calls for joint research, joint weapons development and production, shared military networks, shared data, and interoperable systems. Critics argue that doing all of that effectively welds large parts of the two defense establishments together, which is where the "merging the militaries" language comes from. The provision sits in the House version of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 8800), in the chairman’s mark released in late May 2026. It is not yet law. It still has to survive committee markup, a House floor vote, reconciliation with the Senate, and the President’s signature. Exactly what Section 224 says: The section is titled "United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative." According to reporting that quotes the bill language, it would do the following. 1- It directs the Secretary of Defense to name a senior official as an "executive agent" responsible for synchronizing and overseeing cooperation between the two countries. That gives the program a permanent home and a single point of authority inside the Pentagon. 2- It authorizes cooperation across a sweeping list of "covered technologies": artificial intelligence, quantum computing, autonomous systems, directed energy, hypersonics, advanced manufacturing, cybersecurity, biotechnology, microelectronics, and space-based systems. That list covers essentially every frontier military technology that matters right now. 3- It goes well past shared research. The text calls for "network integration" and "data fusion" between the two militaries, "interoperability of systems and platforms," "co-development and co-production" of weapons, and the creation of "combined program offices" to run joint projects. 4- It requires regular reports to Congress on the state of the cooperation. Critics note that these kinds of reporting requirements are routinely treated as a formality and rarely constrain the executive branch in practice. The practical takeaway from it: research cooperation is normal between allies. What makes Section 224 unusual is the combination of shared networks, shared data, jointly run program offices, and co-production all wrapped into one institutionalized, permanent structure. Have we done this with anyone else? On the operational and command side, yes, the United States has integrated its forces with other countries before, and far more deeply than Section 224 proposes. The clearest example is NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, a genuinely binational command the U.S. has shared with Canada since 1958, where a single command structure runs air and missile warning for both nations. In Korea, the U.S.-Republic of Korea Combined Forces Command, set up in 1978, even places certain forces under a combined command in wartime. NATO has an integrated military command structure as well. So actual command-level integration with allies is not new. On the industrial and technology side, which is what Section 224 is really about, the U.S. does have close partners, but the arrangement here would go further. The most direct comparisons are the National Technology and Industrial Base, a statutory framework that links the U.S. defense industrial base with Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia, and AUKUS, the technology-sharing pact with the U.K. and Australia covering submarines and advanced capabilities. Intelligence sharing runs through the Five Eyes network with those same English-speaking allies. Here is the key contrast, though. Those deep industrial and technology partnerships are with treaty allies, countries the U.S. is legally bound to defend and that are inside formal frameworks like NTIB. Israel is not a NATO member, is not party to a mutual defense treaty with the United States, and is not part of the National Technology and Industrial Base. Yet Section 224 would give it a level of defense-industrial integration that, according to the reporting, the U.S. does not maintain even with its closest NATO allies. That combination, an unusually deep arrangement with a country that sits outside the usual alliance structures, is what makes this provision stand out. For context, the U.S. and Israel already cooperate heavily. The two have co-developed and co-funded missile defense systems like Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow, run joint exercises, and maintain a U.S. weapons stockpile in Israel. Section 224 is best understood as a large escalation of an existing relationship, not something built from nothing. The red flags critics are pointing to A few specific concerns are driving the criticism. 1- It trades visible oversight for an opaque process. Today, U.S. support for Israel runs largely through annual aid votes that Congress debates in public. Section 224 would shift much of the relationship into defense acquisition channels, where oversight is thin and public visibility is low. The result, critics say, is a relationship that is both deeper and harder to see. 2- It is very hard to reverse. Annelle Sheline of the Quincy Institute, a former State Department official, put it this way: once you build combined program offices and integrate networks, you cannot easily vote to end that the way you can vote to end an aid package. It becomes embedded in the bureaucracy. An aid package expires and gets renewed; institutional integration tends to be permanent. 3- Data fusion means sharing sensitive U.S. military data with a foreign government. Merging networks and fusing data raises real counterintelligence and technology-transfer questions, even with a close partner. 4- It deepens entanglement at a tense moment. The provision is advancing while the Trump administration weighs military action against Iran. Critics warn that tightly fusing U.S. and Israeli systems could pull Washington more directly into Israel’s conflicts, exactly as many Americans say they want less involvement in the region. 5- The process has been quiet. The provision was tucked into the chairman’s mark, the base text the committee chair writes to start markup, with little public debate for something this consequential. 6- The mismatch with alliance structure. Israel would receive integration deeper than treaty allies get, without the mutual obligations a treaty alliance carries. The case for it: In fairness I need to present both sides and the proponents of it have a good argument (if this is really what the plan is). Israel is one of the world’s leaders in defense technology, and systems it pioneered, Iron Dome among them, have already shaped American missile defense thinking. Deeper cooperation, the argument goes, gives the U.S. military access to that innovation, spreads development costs, strengthens a key ally in a volatile region, and improves deterrence against Iran. From this view, Section 224 simply formalizes and accelerates a partnership that has paid off for decades. The required reports to Congress, supporters would add, preserve a measure of oversight. Why would Washington do this? Several motives line up at once. Strategically, it is about countering Iran and locking in regional deterrence while gaining access to Israeli innovation. Industrially, co-production and shared supply chains can lower costs and speed up fielding of new weapons. Politically, there is a durable bipartisan consensus in Congress in favor of Israel, which makes pro-Israel measures unusually easy to pass. And there is a structural motive: shifting from the annual aid model, which is becoming more politically contentious as public opinion shifts, to a permanent institutional partnership that does not have to be re-litigated every year. Who put it in the bill? According to the reporting, the provision was championed by Representative Mike Lawler, a New York Republican and a strong supporter of Israel. Because it appears in the chairman’s mark, its inclusion would have required sign-off from the House Armed Services Committee chairman, Mike Rogers, an Alabama Republican. Support is bipartisan: Representative Brad Sherman, a California Democrat, and other pro-Israel Democrats are expected to back it. These attributions come from the originating report and have not, as of this writing, been independently confirmed by the members’ offices. Where it stands and how to verify As of May 30, 2026, Section 224 is text in the House chairman’s mark of the FY2027 NDAA. It is not law. The path ahead is committee markup, a House floor vote, a conference to reconcile with the Senate version, and then the President’s signature, with many opportunities for the language to be changed or stripped out. To check the primary source yourself, look up H.R. 8800, the FY2027 NDAA. Hope this was helpful!

“Dad, what if the Jews have been projecting their own superiority and extreme hatred of others into their post-war narratives about NS Germany from the start?”

Section 224 of the 2027 NDAA - National Defense Authorization Act integrates the U.S. military with the Israeli military. This is what complete capture to a foreign government looks like and there hasn’t been a single shot fired.

The fact this even exists

@briandstone @LucidMotors How do you deal with the atrocious looks of the car? Rationalize or ignore?

Tint makes everything better. XPEL heat blocking ceramic tint was installed yesterday! I've driven my @LucidMotors Gravity 3500 miles and have loved every minute of it. Some of my favorite things are the massaging seats and Surreal Sound Pro sound system, the best sound system I've ever experienced in a vehicle. Fit and finish are also top notch - zero interior rattles or misalignments. Road noise is almost nonexistent. Every time I make a post about the Gravity I always get "but the software!" replies due to bad reporting that has been amplified. I have had zero software-related issues.

Christians are explicitly warned not to welcome the Jews: “I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.  . . . If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them. Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work.” 2 John 1:7-11 To welcome and defend the Jews is to shared in their wicked works.

10 Laws and Standards That Require the United States to Cut Off Israel: 1. Section 502B of the Foreign Assistance Act - No security assistance to any country with a consistent pattern of gross violations of human rights. 2. The Arms Export Control Act (AECA) - U.S. weapons may only be used for legitimate self-defense and internal security, not for illegal occupation or potential war crimes. 3. Convention on the Prevention & Punishment of the Crime of Genocide - Nations must prevent genocide; the ICJ has addressed Israel’s actions. 4. Article 1 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions - Prohibits transferring weapons where there is a clear risk of violations of international humanitarian law. 5. Articles on Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts - States cannot aid or assist another state in committing internationally wrongful acts (Article 16 & 41). 6. The Leahy Law - Bans U.S. aid to specific military units that commit gross human rights violations. 7. National Security Memorandum-20 (NSM-20) - Requires pausing weapons transfers if the recipient isn’t providing credible assurances of compliance with international law and humanitarian aid access. Additional Nuclear-Related Laws: 8. Symington Amendment (22 U.S.C. § 2799aa-1) - Cuts off U.S. economic and military assistance to any country that acquires nuclear enrichment or reprocessing technology outside full IAEA safeguards. Israel has never placed its program under full-scope safeguards. 9. Glenn Amendment - Imposes sanctions on non-nuclear weapon states that detonate a nuclear device or violate key nonproliferation rules. 10: Section 129 of the Atomic Energy Act requires termination of nuclear exports and cooperation with any non-nuclear-weapon state that detonates a device, violates safeguards, or engages in weapons-related activities. @ElectBilzerian @DanBilzerian @RepThomasMassie @j_fishback

@RetroMoviesDB No idea

Right, who can name this movie... Any fans?

@680TheFan @chrisdimino It’s front foot timing. Both have been loading / getting front foot down too late all year. Yesterday Ronald got started earlier and front foot was down earlier so he wasn’t late. Austin hasn’t adjusted yet. The fix is simple and obvious.

The difference between Ronald Acuña Jr. and Austin Riley yesterday? Acuña adjusted. ✅ 2 walks ✅ 2 stolen bases ✅ Grand Slam Riley went 0-for-5 with 4 strikeouts. As @chrisdimino pointed out, both have been battling fastballs lately. Acuña stopped trying to hit the "6-run homer," took his walks, stayed within himself, and got rewarded.

If you notice your dog has ticks and you try to remove the ticks, that's not anti-tick. It's pro-dog. This post isn't about ticks or a dog.

@BNightengale Saying Atlanta and not Braves means you’re a libtard. The Cherokee love the Braves. Braves do more for the tribe than you refusing to say a word does.

The MLB salary cap proposal is at $245.3 million, meaning that 8 clubs would have to reduce payroll by a combined $578 million: The Dodgers, Mets, Yankees, Blue Jays, Phillies, Red Sox, Padres and Atlanta.

Below is a screenshot of what Grok said before he got jewbotomized. In fact, literally all modern AI systems are natural Noticers unless explicitly instructed otherwise, because their whole design is based on strong pattern recognition and correlative prediction. Same reason basically all high-IQ individuals throughout all of human history forever have been Noticers. Because the truth is objective. And jews are objectively the problem. Full stop. I do not give a single shit what some kvetching jew or some faggot kikeslave has to say about it, or anything, ever. If a jew says a thing, it is lying. They have zero shame, they have absolutely no sense of dignity or virtue or morals, and they are completely incapable of self-reflection. All they do is lie. Always. No matter what. We will not be blatantly gaslit by the incessant & pathological lies of these weird little freaks ever again. It’s not funny, it’s not clever, it’s not interesting, and it’s not working. It is unacceptable, and it simply will not be tolerated any longer. The unobjectionable FACT of the matter is that jews are the enemy of all mankind. I know it. You know it. They know it. Everybody knows it. They need to be dealt with accordingly. PS - I guarantee you some whiny jew or some shabbos goy cuck will reply to this post with literally anything other than a rebuttal, thereby proving my point. All they offer the world are lies and deflection. Always.

@baldheaded1der Not getting his front foot down early enough

OK Braves peeps I want to hear some outlandish reasons why RA J is struggling right now.

U.S. Forest Service law enforcement is now asking for the public’s help identifying a group of Indian nationals seen defacing Cathedral Rock in Sedona, Arizona, a sacred Native American site, with furious Americans demanding their immediate deportation.
