Good morning kids. For those of you in South Carolina, stay safe! Hopefully your localities are not headed up by Bass-holes and Newsoms.
Of course the big story is the fallout, pun intended I suppose, of the Trump/Vance Borscht-belt refugee Shecky Zelenskyy meeting that the latter seemed to intentionally sabotage. Either that or the Pissant Pysanky is just naturally clueless and boorish. To not have known going in what the position is of the person you are bargaining with is to completely flunk diplomacy 101. Trump has made crystal clear for quite some time, his disenchantment with those who seek to waste billions of dollars and millions of lives on what is essentially a centuries-old border dispute between Russia and Ukraine that has the potential to touch off a third world war. It's also reflective of the feelings of a solid majority of the American people, Ukrainian flag emojis on Facebook notwithstanding.
Despite at certain points in history being an independent country, Ukraine for the most part was for centuries either part of the Tsarist Russian Empire or of the Soviet Union. Now, did Vladimir Putin have the right to launch an invasion and war to take back part or all of Ukraine by force of arms and in so doing slaughter thousands of people including his own soldiers and citizens? No. But to not recognize the blundering and political bullshit emanating from Foggy Bottom going back to the Obama and Clinton years in setting the stage for this, is willful ignorance, mostly on the part of the institutional Left in this nation and the warmongering neocons who can't see past their own snouts in the trough of the military industrial complex that get fat off the blood and treasure of America's soldiers and taxpayers.
Of course, the usual suspects are blaming Trump and Vance and worse than that are once again trotting out the hideous slander of them being Putin's puppets. Even way before Trump shut this travesty down, the word "Impeachment" has been echoing through the whorehouses of Congress.
The Anti-American American Left could care less about Ukraine except for how it could be used as a weapon to rid themselves of Donald Trump and more importantly, protect their generational war on America as founded and obtain absolute power. So what if millions of Ukrainians and Russians needlessly die or even if someone somewhere miscalculates and nuclear weapons are used. A lot was revealed in this kerfluffle.
The conservative lens reveals a deeper truth: this clash is a referendum on globalism’s failures. For decades, we’ve been sold a lie -- that America must police the world, that our prosperity hinges on perpetual war. Trump shatters that illusion. His minerals gambit wasn’t greed; it was genius -- a chance to onshore critical supply chains, slashing reliance on China while giving Ukraine a stake in its own salvation. Imagine a future where American factories hum with Ukrainian titanium, not Shenzhen’s scraps. Zelensky’s rejection didn’t just tank a deal; it spurned a vision. . . Is there risk? Sure. A U.S. pullback could strain NATO, embolden Moscow short-term. But the greater risk is inertia -- bleeding out for a war with no victory lap. Trump’s not wrong: Zelensky’s gambling with World War III, but so are we by staying tethered to his quagmire. The President’s play is bold, brash, and quintessentially American -- a rejection of guilt, a return to grit. Conservatives must rally here, not waver. This isn’t retreat; it’s rebirth. Let Europe carry the torch; we’ve got a nation to rebuild.
The current president’s decision to fire flag officers isn’t a break with American law and tradition. The “Appeal to Congress” from former secretaries of defense certainly is. The warning about a crisis is the crisis. This dangerous argument needs to be hammered into its grave, quickly and forcefully.
. . .Pentagon data that increasingly is calibrated in terms of race, gender, and sexual orientation, have also shown that in recent years, white males, who serve and die—asymmetrically to their demographics—in combat theaters, have shied away from the military, and disproportionally account for general recruitment shortfalls.
One likely explanation is that they apparently felt that inordinate political Pentagon DEI emphases and public congressional commentary from Pentagon brass about supposed endemic “white privilege” or purported racist cabals were aimed at them. In 2021, Secretary of Defense Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Milley seemed to weigh in before Congress on highly political and polarizing matters of critical race theory—even connecting the January 6 demonstrations to supposed “whiteness”, opining on “white rage,” and recommending the controversial racialist works of Ibram X. [krement] Kendi.
Politics in the Pentagon predated the current Trump administration.
. . . Will there be more or fewer theater-wide wars, such as those in Ukraine and the Middle East?
Will the Pentagon procurement pivot from traditional military systems and platforms, following lessons in the Middle East and Ukraine, in order to emphasize drones, and cheaper and more numerous munitions?
And lastly and most importantly, will the generals who replaced those fired prove more adroit in defending U.S. interests and less political—or less so?
The realities that follow from these firings, not necessarily the firings themselves, or the anger at them, will answer those questions.
Recall it was the dog-eating Muslim son-of-a-Stalinist who sacked flag officers because he feared they'd come after thim once his agenda of Fundamental transformation got into high gear. Of course, not a peep from the propagandists, and of course we all know what happened to Mike Flynn.
Taken all together, the old order is being shaken apart by Donald Trump. Just his presence and for sure what he is exposing will, please God, have the salutary effect on our society and government long after he has left office.
No doubt, the will to power and those who seek it will still be with us, such is human nature, but hopefully future generations will have rejected them in sufficient numbers for a real American and western renaissance of sanity and prosperity to take hold. The fact that Trump was RE-re-elected in the first place last November, and that the approval numbers for the media are in the toilet, inversely proportional with that of Trump's first 6 weeks, while certainly not absolute proof, certainly must mean something insofar as we seem to be moving in the right direction.
If we can somehow disrupt and dismantle the Academia/brainwashing industry, then we really will have a shot at perhaps seeing restoration, or the foundation of it being set down in our lifetime.
From the ridiculous to the sublime.
President Trump has invited a freed Israeli hostage to the White House after being shocked by his stomach-turning interview following 16 months in Hamas captivity.
Eli Sharabi, who was released last month after being held by the Palestinian terror group since October 2023, is expected to meet with President Trump on Tuesday, his brother Sharon told Israeli newspaper Haaretz Sunday. Trump extended the invitation to Sharabi and other hostages after being shown clips of his harrowing interview describing his torture and starvation.
Sharabi described being chained, beaten, and starved by his captors, with treatment worsening every time Israel’s leaders announced the worsening of prison conditions of captured Hamas fighters, in an interview with Israel’s Channel 12. . . Sharabi lost 40% of his body weight while in captivity, the Times of Israel reported.
He was released as part of the first phase of a ceasefire deal that saw 29 other hostages and the bodies of eight Israelis returned to the country. A total of 59 hostages are still being held by terror groups in the Gaza Strip.
I can only imagine how the media will report on this meeting. That is if they report on it at all. Probably complain that the real victims The "Palestinians" were snubbed in favor of Israeli colonialists.
Al Jazeera can hire Joy Reid for a song! Jizz + Zira. QED.
MSNBC has just fired Joy Reid, who had her own news-and-opinion show at the network for four years. Reid is best known for her crazed anti-Israel and antisemitic views, including her conspiracy-theorizing about “who really was responsible for 9/11,” and her nonstop attacks on Israel for “bombing babies” in Gaza. . . When Joy Reid refers to “little babies being bombed,” she does not have in mind the baby-killers of Hamas, whose operatives burned alive Jewish babies on October 7, 2023. Nor does she mean those members of Hamas who murdered the Bibas boys, four-year-old Ariel and nine-month-old Kfir, by strangling them in November 2023. No, she means the IDF, which she wants you to believe has deliberately, with malice aforethought, caused “little babies” to be “bombed.” Some children, including babies, have died in Gaza from Israeli strikes on buildings where Hamas was hiding both its operatives and its weapons. But such deaths are the unavoidable consequence of Hamas’ practice of embedding its operatives and its weapons in civilian areas, using Gazans as human shields. There has never been the slightest intent by the IDF to harm “little babies,” or, indeed, ay civilians. The IDF, in the hellish conditions of urban warfare, made more difficult still by Hamas embedding itself in with the civilian population, including “babies,” makes a tremendous effort, unheard of in the annals of modern warfare, to warn civilians away from sites about to be targeted. Already by March 2024, the IDF had dropped nine million leaflets, sent fifteen million text messages, and made sixteen million robocalls
A news outlet finally asked one of the biggest questions haunting Hollywood.
“Why Are Jewish Celebrities in Hollywood So Afraid to Talk About Antisemitism?” reads a probing op-ed at The Hollywood Reporter.
The author explores how relatively quiet Jewish personalities have been over the past year-plus. All the while, antisemitism has flourished in ways we haven’t seen in decades.
Remember how Sarah Silverman created “The Great Schlep” in 2008 to help Barack Obama’s presidential campaign? Or, more recently, how she mistakenly saw a swastika in a generic public image and cried foul.
Now, as Jews are literally chased into an attic, she says nothing.
Non-Jewish stars have been equally silent. That’s a bigger question that also needs to be addressed.
Sadly, the author is either afraid to explore the answer or can’t bear to say it.
Here it is. It’s mostly political.
Defending Jewish people isn’t cool in Hollywood. It’s framed as right-leaning and makes stars uncomfortable. President Donald Trump has been a loyal friend to Israel.
P.S. From the No-Shit-Sherlock Dept., Chris Murphy is cancer.
far-left Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Orange Man Bad) offered a detailed blow-by-blow account of the entire incident, concluding that “the whole meeting is a set up. By pushing this plan to hand Ukraine to Putin (IN FRONT OF ZELENSKY!), Trump is trying to either humiliate or provoke Zelensky. But he does neither, and so Vance has to light the match.” Neocon warhawk Bill Kristol reposted a photo of Zelensky with Trump, along with the caption: “The Leader of the Free World, sitting next to Donald Trump.” . . . For the left, that is the worst thing Trump could possibly do. From their socialist internationalist perspective, his America-First position is wrongheaded, obstructionist, and recklessly counterrevolutionary. They would rather see America bankrupted than a reconsideration of the disastrous foreign policy strategy the nation has pursued for 75 years. And so they side once again against Trump and for the continued draining of the resources of the American people. There was never any doubt that they would.
