Oh! Canada - what makes Trump say what he says

Lesson Learned: A nation that emasculates itself on the altar of leftist foolishness can't stand on is own as a genuine nation.  Think of Canada as sort of a big, cold, Puerto Rico that hates us.

9/11 - 25 years later

A story memory holed shortly after released,  Her choice in art speaks volumes.

Twenty five years ago 15 Saudis, organized by a Saudi based in Afghanistan, attacked New York.

Today you get electronically strip searched and patted down at every airport, a Flock camera can look into your backyard, and a pro-Sharia, terrorist supporting moslem is mayor of New York.  

In late 2019, early 2020 the Communist government of China DELIBERATELY spread Covid-19 to the United States and Western Europe from Wuhan Province - after locking down all internal transportation into and out of that Province. 

In August our trade surplus with the godless CCP widened to $119B, and we're so rife with Chinese spys the deep relationship between the CCP and a woman who was a Labor Secretary under one Republican President, and Transportation Secretary under another, to say nothing of being the wife of a Senate Majority Leader, is hardly a surprise (1).

Has anything any administration - Republican or Democrat - really addressed the vulnerabilities exposed (ex. 2) or really punished the people behind 9/11 or WuF1u?  

The Democrats turned the Patriot Act into the means of creating a police state that surveilled their political enemies, the Republicans turned 9/11 into a financial rape of the country to enrich the makers of bombs and the folks who have gotten our kids killed in stupid little wars ever since.

"**ck 'em up"

Gee, there's clubs sproutin' up all over the country.  She knows her audience.

Ugly but true, wake up!

Folks this is a murderous Marxist inciting an audience of ... non-MENSA members ... to do violence to a uniformed law enforcement officer.  

CalState must either fire her immediately or be removed from all Federal money.

You have to deal with the most dangerous threat now.  Folks like her are inside the wire, doing that Marcuse thing to destroy the country - radicalizing the most suggestible human drones to be weapons.  We cannot subsidize the very people who want us dead.

Bein' real

First the news ...

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/09/02/transcript-russian-federation-president-vladimir-putin-takes-questions-from-assembled-media/#more-286565

So many knee jerk comments against engagement with Russia.  It's as though Boris Badenough really impacted the critical thinking in generations of growing Americans.

My reply to a comment on the article:

"Putin is a KGB thug, and an expert in disinformation and duplicity. "

True.


I 'm as much a 'cold war' dinosaur as anyone but, what I appreciate as also true is that the war in Ukraine was intentionally produced by Obama, Brennan, and Biden.  Putin has a real bone to pick with us over that.


Continuing under Trump, the degree US 'support', even direct involvement, particularly with the deep strikes and the sinking of the cruiser AZOV, justify similar actions by Russia using a proxy like Hezbllah against American ships, or B-2s and B-52s, in the US.  


He has held off.


Now it is the US, not the Soviet Union, being bled white with counter productive military expenses.  An irony Vlad no doubt enjoys.  We need to get out of Ukraine (and destroy our biowar labs there) and, either economically choke Iran into rebellion or declare victory and sail away, before Xi lets Kim deliver the nukes Iran has already paid for.   


Putin could make those developments easier, or harder.  


Like it or not, engaging him the right way is in our mutual interests. 


Meh, I doubt it'll be posted.

Deep State brat


Well, I was right about Hunter Biden's buddy Tucker Carlson (search Tucker in the window for earlier entries).  He's always been a Deep State brat from the go.  

As for steroid addled Alex Jones, his multi-million court penalty has made him an asset as well.    (A problem that's gotten somewhat smaller co-incident with his turning on Trump) 

To hell with both of them.  A traitor and a sell out.

A (quiet) day at the range ...



In the cow pasture documenting a problem with the new can on a (UMAREX) "Walther" PPK/s .22 ...

Note - used same low, centered point of aim as earlier. Also, note one full keyhole - AT 7 yards!

(uppermost left) and partial (one up from bottom).

10. Detail of muzzle end cap showing no burrs or deformation -

The Sparrow performs well on the AR-7 and shows no deformation from off axis bullet strike. The Sparrow substantially changes the point of impact on the PPK/s and the keyholing rounds make for a useless gun accuracy wise.

It’s a nice, quiet can, BUT I look forward to resolving this problem.


America finally learning how to play "Unrestricted Warfare"?

War evolves folks - Viet Nam era "Alpha Strikes" aren't 
the answer to all problems

https://discernreport.com/iran-suddenly-wants-diplomacy-after-america-shut-off-the-money/
QUOTE _ The sudden hunger for talks did not arrive by accident. President Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent launched Operation Economic Outcast this week, the campaign Bessent branded an economic D-Day. Treasury mapped the smuggling networks, sanctioned more than 60 entities, individuals, and vessels, and expanded secondary sanctions across five lifelines the regime uses to stay alive — digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping.
Bessent’s warning was not diplomatic language. Any country that keeps Iran on life support will share the isolation. “An economic engagement of any kind with this murderous regime will expose those responsible to the full reach of American power,”he said. Trump has been calling heads of state with the same request. Cut Tehran loose or lose the dollar.
UNQUOTE
Well well.   Just as we learned in the big one ... or would have had not all the attention been on the atom bomb ... just as Reagan brilliantly decided to employ against the Evil Empire ...   Modern "war" is as described best by two PLA instructors at the war college (read it! - 1) an "Unrestricted War" across all areas of engagement and not exclusively bombs on civilians.  
(Maybe someone is reading this blog (2).)
1. Unrestricted Warfare - still irreplaceable for understanding the Godless, acquisitive, ruthless CCP -
https://www.c4i.org/unrestricted.pdf
2. Mine Warfare folks - our Navy must simultaneously drastically downsize (scrap the whole CVBG thing) and modernize.  Naval Mine Warfare (offensive and defensive) must be an area of unparalleled excellence.   It gives an American Commander in Chief strategic flexibility and reduces vulnerability.  Our Navy has failed miserably in this area even while I've been beating this drum as a sailor who in his career has been on both sides of the MW equation.
