No more Milleys.
OK man, but it would have cost a lot less just to fire them all when they failed their next fitness tests.

Gee, I hope all those Generals and Admirals Pete Hegseth required to be in Quantico to hear his speech don't have any trouble returning to their duty stations when the government shuts down tonight
The round trip tickets must have cost a fortune, paid by the taxpayers.

The assailant couldn't have been a leftist because he was white lol
The anti-white racism is amazing.
The purity of the left must be defended at all costs.
The objective is the marginalization into irrelevance of all whites, the shooter, the victim, and their entire kind.
Allahu Akbar.
Flashback September 12, 2001: Ann Coulter wanted anyone anywhere in the world who so much as smiled over Americans murdered on 911 bombed to kingdom come
That basically encapsulates the initial emotional reaction of the Trump administration to the murder of Charlie Kirk in 2025.
... That evening, CNN reported that bombs were dropping in Afghanistan — and then updated the report to say they weren't our bombs.
They should have been ours. I want them to be ours.
This is no time to be precious about locating the exact individuals directly involved in this particular terrorist attack. Those responsible include anyone anywhere in the world who smiled in response to the annihilation of patriots like Barbara Olson. ...
You probably remember the column more for the closing however:
We know who the homicidal maniacs are. They are the ones cheering and dancing right now.
We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war.

Speaking of crazy, Mad King Ludwig oddly posted fictional content on Truth Social about medbeds on the 27th, which is a QANON-like hoax about the existence of a special technology hoarded by elites to keep themselves healthy and in charge
Here is an archived copy of the post with fictional video since taken down at Truth Social.
Here is a news story about the hoax published in July 2024.
The COVID-19 hysteria notwithstanding, the share of the world that's crazy is quite low and stable over time
That you can hear about the crazy things crazy people do almost instantaneously now is what contributes to our perception that there's been a drastic change in behavior, but the share of the world that is crazy has been quite low and stable until the pandemic.
The craziest place in the world in 2021 appears to have been Portugal at 21%, followed by Iran at 20.7%, Lebanon at 19.9%, Greenland at 19.5%, Brazil at 19.4%, Greece at 19.1%, and Australia and Tunisia tied at 19%. No country scored below 9.2% in 2021. The world averaged 13.9%.
In 2011 the top eight list was Portugal at 19.8%, Iran, Australia, Brazil, New Zealand, Spain, Greenland, and Greece at 17.7%. The rear was brought up by Mali at 8.7%, and Mauritania at 9.1%. The world averaged 12.8%.

AI thinks Oliver Kornetzke is from Wisconsin, possibly a Democrat from Calumet County, who thinks America is from its inception arrogant, stupid, cruel, greedy, and corrupt
I'm guessing it's an alias, but for some communist from Dane County who works for the law firm Solitary, Poor, Nasty, Brutish, and Short.
Calumet County voted for Trump over Harris 59-39, and spends most of its time milking cows and making cheese, and on a winter Sunday drinking beer and playing Sheepshead. They have never hurt a flea.
Some of my folk come from there.
The top 10% wealthiest Americans are 47% richer after five years, up $36.25 trillion

They say we could never pay it back.

Spot silver hits $46.41 per ounce, gold ends the week just under the Tuesday high
... Spot gold rose 0.8% to $3,778.62 per ounce as of 01:30 p.m. EDT (1730 GMT), after hitting a record $3,790.82 earlier in the week. ...

Boeing and FAA both to issue airworthiness certificates on Maxes, produced at a rate of about 38 per month, on alternating weeks
What could go wrong, right?
I'm guessing some people will now fly only on the FAA-issued certificate aircraft lol.
Speaking of serving Mammon, the price of Trump's Golden Visa has just been cut by 80%, but the workaround scheme to let rich people cut in line may backfire
And you thought only National Popular Vote liberals were capable of end-runs.
... “The Gold Card is almost too cheap,” said Reaz Jafri of international
law firm Withers. “You get access to the U.S. education system,
health-care system, banking system and financial markets, all for $1
million. It’s a pittance for many of these families. I think they should
have kept it at $5 million to make it special.” ...
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the government plans to issue
80,000 Gold Cards. Together with potential Platinum Card and the new
H-1B fees, which were raised to $100,000, he said the programs are
expected to raise $100 billion in federal revenue. ...
The program is also likely to be challenged in the courts and
potentially by Congress. Because immigration law is set by Congress, the
president created the Gold Card through several legal workarounds,
including using the existing EB-1 and EB-2 programs as the
infrastructure or basis for the Gold Card. The $1 million fee is
officially labeled an “unrestricted gift” to the government rather than
an official fee change. ...
The EB-1 and EB-2 programs (which form the basis for the Gold Card)
already have large backlogs of applicants from China and India,
stretching for years. If Gold Card buyers are allowed to skip to the
front of the line because of their $1 million donation, the applicants
who have been waiting could file lawsuits. At the same time, Gold Card
buyers won’t be willing to spend $1 million if they’re forced to wait
years for approval. ...

The damn thing's elevated 74% above the average 1.67 for the twenty-five years 1996-2020 and we're supposed to be OK with it because it's "as expected".

Real GDP since the Trump tax reform in 2017 still lags the post-war rate by 27.5%
Today's third estimate for 2Q2025 real GDP came in 0.5 points hotter at 3.8% on increased consumer spending:
Real GDP was revised up 0.5 percentage point from the second estimate, primarily reflecting an upward revision to consumer spending.
The big picture, however, indicates that the compound annual growth rate of real GDP from this report comes in at only 2.50% per annum for the eight years since 2Q2017. The corresponding figure for the sixty years 1947-2007 is 3.45% per annum. Economic growth since the year of the Trump Tax Reform late in 2017 therefore undershoots that post-war rate by 27.5%.
And measured from 2007 instead of 2017, real GDP growth has been even worse. Over the eighteen years since 2Q2007, real GDP has grown at a compound annual rate of just 1.97%, almost 43% worse than the pre-2007 rate of 3.45%.
Lower economic growth since the Great Financial Crisis remains the great unsolved economic problem of our time.
People who say "Just wait for the Trump tax cuts of 2025 to kick in" don't get it. There's nothing broadly, fundamentally, permanently different coming down the pike from that legislation. It's a continuation of the 2017 legislation, plus some temporary sweeteners.
A serious country would care about all this, but that would not be us.
