Equivalent of only paying politicians when they follow through with campaign promises. Forget the difficulty of convincing opponents, and even peers, to help implement your campaign promises in an open forum (ala a court room), the pay would be withheld until you implement them fully, correctly, and on time.

10 miles isn’t accurate if you have professional transmission systems. Particular if you’re using modified drones you picked up in the backroom of a Chinese restaurant after the business is closed to go spy on the ol’ Yanks. But even a 5-mile radius is difficult to find who is flying it. Sometimes it’s obvious if people legitimately try to keep line-of-sight, like a dad trying to film his son’s football game and nearly cracking a Cessna landing a nearby airport. Daytime, drones are easy to lose sight of. Night time, they’re hard to gauge distance from-assuming they even have visible lights. They’ve introduced systems like LAANC which has made legitimate use of drones far safer for the flying public, but that’s only a portion of the story.

@UsuallyInvited @TimOnPoint Simple law enforcement could find them. Drones typically have a 10 mile radius or less. Multiple flyovers over a week and nobody saw anything outside the base and nobody thought to police the surrounding area after the second incident? Not at all believable.

Secretary Hegseth, your predecessors in the DoD have known about this threat for years they did nothing because they weren’t creative enough at war—a bunch of status quo managers. In 2025 we watched Ukrainian special forces kill a bunch of Russian strategic bombers with FPV drones in a place where it shouldn’t have been possible. Those DoD “managers” are currently setting your DoW up for major failure—on purpose I’m beginning to think. When it happens, it lands in your lap. Don’t let it. You have the talent at your disposal, push management aside and get it done.

🚨#BREAKING: Military officials say that more than 12 to 15 unsanctioned drones have swarmed over Barksdale Air Force Base which is home to the nuclear B-52 bomber fleet They say that the drones resisted jamming attempts, with multiple waves spotted over sensitive areas throughout the week.

We are still in our counter-drone infancy but drone development far outpaces technology in place to counter it. Whoever makes inexpensive counter-measures that can be deployed to every major airport, military base, and sensitive national site will have become a billionaire several times over. If it is portable and wastes minimal power, potentially a 12-figure person. People mistake that a major terrorist attack or event hasn’t happened yet as evidence that something must be in place preventing it, when reality is worth feeling alarmed over.

@TimOnPoint What a crock of shit. Another make believe threat to instill fear in the public to justify this ridiculous war. Believing the U.S. military can’t muster sufficient electronic warfare resources to track and locate the operator of a non-fiber optic drone is ridiculous.

It’s been funny watching NYC slowly evolve from a violent cesspool during the 70s, into a place people move into to cosplay as rich, to a place people move into to cosplay as poor. It’s like a weird camping trip where “oh my Gawd, so this guy got shanked on the subway today” is said with a valley girl accent.

If living in NYC and getting coffee from a bodega (which very often is not that good) is your whole personality, things are not going well.

@jarvis_best 2026 is a great year to be urophilic if you pass away. If you’re in any way famous enough to be discussed after dying, thousands of people will piss on your grave in the midst of their mental health episodes.

NEW: The Department of War is recruiting an elite strike force of Wall Street financiers to create an “Economic Warfare Unit,” which some have dubbed “Deal Team Six.” Their mission: find companies to solve the Pentagon’s supply problems and get them the capital to do it. After the Pentagon’s recruiting deck leaked last week, the NYT warned that “Deal Team Six” could lead to corruption, noting that salaries may reach up to $600,000 — comparable with Wall Street compensation. But as Ryan Hassan (@eventidia) explains, this elite crew of “deal guys” could be exactly what America needs... especially during a time of war. For decades, the military has sourced weapons from a handful of contractors that weren’t incentivized to compete, leading to rising costs and stagnating lethality. Now, we’re hiring folks who are professionals at spending… to actually spend taxpayer money well. Yes, we’re paying them like bankers, and yes that’s the point. Full story 👇

@MCCCANM It was, from day one, an IQ test as much as it was a debate. I hate to put it in such harsh terms but is as clear of a “attempting to apply leverage” scenario as you can find, but done in such a way that kind of told on itself, and told on the people who take it seriously.

A big part of “cities are awful” discourse is some people are more scared by rough areas than others. I was in NYC in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. I saw real crime. I am less easily scared than Coddled clearly is. This doesn’t mean crime isn’t bad, it’s just not as bad as they claim.
Coddled Affluent Professional@feelsdesperate

Paris, London, and Rome all have problems. All of them have neighborhoods that aren’t culturally and economically integrated and that have high crime rates where Carl would ‘feel scared’ if he decided to visit. Do these neighborhoods tend to be more peripheral than central than in the US? Yes, but so what?

I’d imagine most would choose 3, but I chose 2. I’d want my own poor behavior to be addressed by others in ways that I may also address theirs. And, perhaps in karmic symmetry, it’s most fair that people are held to their own standards. My own judgement can also be incorrect, and has been before, when my pattern-recognizing brain doesn’t bat a thousand. And I don’t believe in turning the other cheek as a catch-all for predatory behavior that harms people around you.

Kudos to @WaffleHouse, for the greatest product placement since @koolaid back in the 1970s (yes, yes, we all know it was really @FlavorAid).

NEW: Gregg Phillips, a top FEMA official overseeing disaster response previously said "bitch" Biden “deserves to die,” pushed election conspiracies — and claimed once he teleported to a Waffle House. “Teleporting is no fun...it was real.” More here: cnn.com/2026/03/20/pol…

@OfAthenry Some of the hardest recruiting posters today. I believe they also use anime recruiting posters, which is a pretty funny dichotomy.

It's time to let Japan remilitarize and have a nuclear weapon. They learned their lesson and I think they still hate china enough to be useful. I would include germany in this statement but I don't believe islamic countries should have nuclear weapons.

@angertab I’ve pushed back on this as well. She doesn’t “work” for the Grayzone, nor has she ever. She, at least at the time, was freelancing.

We need to clear the air about Heather Kaiser-Kent. The smear against her is not justified. 🧵 Did she write for Grayzone? Kind of. Do I like Grayzone? No. Is that indicative of her entire personality? No. Heather's work has been cited in US Congressional testimony in May of 2024 about threats to US Border Security. Heather has also been an advocate for veteran families and served as a mentor at TAPS Good Grief Camp in 2016, and as a military mentor for the U.S. Senate Youth Program that same year. Late last night, I made a post questioning if Heather could have influenced Joe's decision to resign and write his letter. As a man, I know feel the need to correct the record. After deep research, to me, it just does not seem plausible.

To be honest, I’m confused by (seemingly) conflicting allegations. He is alleged to have been cut off from meetings, had no information on Iran war planning, and therefore his opinions are under-informed. But he’s also alleged to have had leaked information he didn’t have access to. I don’t know if they’re implying he was leaking other information?
