Just a guy who likes truth and justice. RT is as likely to indicate bitter amusement at the human condition as rainbows and unicorns.

If you send men to do deniable, no‑win jobs in Afghanistan, Syria and Northern Ireland, then hang them out to dry 20 years later to appease human‑rights lobbies and slick barristers, don’t be surprised when your best operators walk. This isn’t an SAS problem. It’s a political class that wants the results of hard men doing ugly work, but not the responsibility that comes with ordering it.

Dirt Cheap Banks
Dirt Cheap Banks@dirtcheapbanks·
I have built a spreadsheet. It has 847 rows. Each row is a community bank in the United States with a market cap below $200 million, a price-to-tangible-book ratio under 0.85, a non-performing loan ratio below 0.4%, and a CEO who has been in the role for at least twelve years. I update it every Sunday from 6 AM to 11 AM while my family attends church without me. I have visited the headquarters of nineteen of these banks in person. I have eaten a complimentary lobby cookie at each one. The cookies are how you can tell. A bank with a good cookie is a bank that respects its depositors. A bank with a stale cookie is a bank that will be acquired within 36 months at a 40% premium. I am never wrong about the cookies. The cookies have never lied to me. The cookies are the only thing left that tells the truth.

🧵 THREAD: The true reason Pete Hegseth is being targeted is because he's standing between President Trump and a coup @PeteHegseth named the institutions... CFR, Brookings, the general class... in 37 seconds in a video by @Liz_Wheeler . Within 72 hours of his nomination, a color revolution planning document cited him as an insider threat. They didn't go after him because of drinking. They didn't go after him because of women. They went after him because every color revolution manual ever written says the same thing: you cannot topple a government unless the security forces defect. And a loyal Secretary of Defense is the one person who makes sure they don't. I have the receipts. Their own documents. Their own training sessions. Their own words on camera. As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

I received a false copyright claim on one of my videos and YouTube removed the video because of this. It's a video about the Riemann Hypothesis. The claim comes from some person who submits a link to their paper about "The Continuity Engine: A Formally Verified Framework Prime Resonance Unification with Medical, Physical, Mathematical Evidence" with links to two unpublished papers that are completely unrelated to my video content. It's obviously some crackpot work, I receive dozens of those a day. YouTube took the video down based on this false claim. The only way they allow me to react to this requires me to submit my personal contact information to some random crank on the internet. Alternatively, I am supposed to hire a lawyer (!!) on my own costs, to track down some random guy from whom I then have to extract my up-front expenses. I have complained to YouTube support about this multiple times. No success, the video is still down. This procedure is completely unacceptable. It allows random people to try and blackmail me into responding to them. I have no time for this bullshit and no patience either. Frankly the only sensible course of action forward that I see is to sue YouTube for facilitating fraudulent DCMA claims. @YouTubeCreators @YouTube

Movie Pitch: HEAT, but gun culture 3.0 The crew doesn’t rob the bank. Instead, De Niro and Val Kilmer spend 2.5 hours in a garage arguing over their rifle setups. Al Pacino realizes they will never actually leave the house, so he spends the rest of the movie catfishing them as an anime waifu to sell them limited edition morale patches.

That’s a great question and I don’t mind you asking at all. And you’re welcome to disagree with me. I will state my position this way: Democrats coming back to power in America is more dangerous than Iran having a nuclear weapon. That’s my position.
War for the West@War4theWest

So, may I conclude from this comment that you have a better idea? Since Biden took office, Iran was on a sprint with nuclear enrichment and acquiring conventional missile technology. How far would you have let this progressed? This is an honest question, I'm not being a wiseass. Iran's Pan-Islamist ambitions were laid bare via Oct 7th and its aftermath. Containment wasn't working at all. What would you do?

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet. It infected 3.5 million people in 1986. Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page. It is called Guinea worm. You drink contaminated water from a pond in a poor village. A year later, a worm up to three feet long starts coming out of your leg through a burning blister. There is no pill that stops it and no surgery that works. You wrap the worm around a stick and pull it out slowly, over days or weeks, inch by inch. If you rush, the worm breaks inside you and causes a fresh infection. Guinea worm is ancient. Preserved worms have been pulled out of Egyptian mummies from around 1000 BCE. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1550 BCE, describes pulling the worm out with a stick. For three and a half thousand years, that was the best humans could do. Then in 1986, public health workers decided to kill the parasite off. They had no vaccine and no drug. What they had was cheap cloth water filters and a small army of volunteers willing to walk from village to village for decades. The plan was simple. Give everyone who drinks from a pond a cloth filter to strain out the tiny water fleas that spread the parasite. Then send volunteers walking house to house, year after year, teaching people how to use the filters and keeping anyone with an emerging worm out of the water. It worked. From 3.5 million cases a year to 10. Four were in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. The other four countries where the worm used to be common, Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mali, had zero human cases for the second year in a row. The World Health Organization has already certified 200 countries as Guinea worm free. Six are left. The last hurdle is dogs. Cameroon had 445 infected animals last year and Chad had 147, so a lot of the remaining work is on animals, not humans. Strays get leashed, and crews treat ponds to kill any remaining worms. The campaign keeps watching until the number hits zero. When Guinea worm hits zero, it becomes the second human disease ever erased from the planet. The first was smallpox. It will also be the first parasite humans have ever wiped out, and the first disease ever ended without a single dose of medicine. Volunteers walked village to village with cloth filters for 40 years. Now a plague from the age of the pharaohs is about to be gone.

@McCrackerface @JonathanTurley A Terry stop is something good cops have done pretty much forever. It just is that our judiciary had to put a name on it once people who don't understand police work let it be made the subject of litigation.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has issued another sole stinging dissent. In a 7-2 decision (with liberal justice Elena Kagan joining the majority), the Court upheld the authority of police to make a stop based on the totality of the circumstances...

CONCLUSION: Pete Hegseth named the institutions in 37 seconds. The institutions responded with: - Pre-positioned oppo research activated in 72 hours - A regime change planning document citing him by name - A legal predicate for military disobedience published the same week as the Seditious Six video - A pipeline that produced the cohort - A grand jury they couldn't win - A replacement they CAN co-opt - Braver Angels and MWEG sitting at the same table as the color revolution coordinators - A physical barricade at the building where the playbook was written They're not trying to get rid of a bad SecDef. They're trying to remove the one obstacle that makes their entire methodology fail.
