The Biden-released illegal has a lengthy criminal record in Texas and other states. - Pamela Geller

Much here - Axios, Too: 'MAGA Siege Mentality' - David Strom

Well, Axios thinks MAGA is overreacting to the constant stream of threats and political attacks we have been subjected to.
Because, of course, they do. 

That is the conventional wisdom in the legacy media and among All the Right People™. 

• Everybody knows that Republicans commit all the political violence in this country.

• Siege mentality. I wonder why. Perhaps I can suggest a few reasons.
• Really, if you think about it, Republicans deserve to be the target of so much hate. 
• If only we would agree with the left everything would be fine....

Former White House spox Karine Jean-Pierre appears for grilling in House Oversight's Biden probe | Fox News: 

"This is a serious investigation about the legality of the use of the autopen, the excessive use of the autopen, and whether or not Joe Biden had any idea who was using the autopen and what the autopen was used to sign, with respect to legal documents," Comer said. Of particular interest to committee investigators are the myriad clemency orders Biden signed, including about 2,500 toward the end of his presidency that were executed via autopen.

Pentagon has 'zero tolerance' for celebration of Charlie Kirk assassination | Fox News

Pentagon has 'zero tolerance' for celebration of Charlie Kirk assassination | Fox News: 

In the wake of the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the Pentagon has made clear that celebration and mockery of an American's assassination will not be tolerated within its ranks. "It is unacceptable for military personnel and Department of War civilians to celebrate or mock the assassination of a fellow American. The Department of War has zero tolerance for it," Sean Parnell, assistant to the secretary of war for public affairs, chief Pentagon spokesman and senior advisor, declared in a post on X.

U.S. Needs To Be Building Tens Of Thousands Of Shahed-136 Clones Right Now

The U.S. military's lack of urgency when it comes to building long-range one-way attack munitions at huge scale has been absurd and dangerous. - Tyler Rogoway
For many years, I have highlighted in detail the threat posed by lower-end drones, ranging from off-the-shelf and standard remote-controlled types to short-range First Person View (FPV) types to much longer-range, but comparatively inexpensive one-way attack munitions that blur the lines between cruise missiles and unmanned aerial systems. 

• Combined, these weapons represent a vast and truly game-changing asymmetric threat that the Pentagon has long overlooked. 
• Now the Department of Defense (DoD) is desperately trying to play catch-up at a time when the evolution of these systems is fast outpacing countermeasures to them. 
• This massive failure in vision could be heavily paid for in blood if a major conflict were to erupt between the U.S. and a capable adversary...

These "workplaces" seem to be covens of anger and hate!

 

We will never stop debating and discussing.

We will never stop standing up for what America is and what she should be. - Ben Shapiro@benshapiro

• We will never stop debating and discussing. 
• We will never stop standing up for what America is and what she should be. 
• And we will never let Charlie’s voice die. 
• To those who would stop us, I have two words: FUCK YOU.

This makes sense!-----US State Department Warns Visa Holders Against Cheering Charlie Kirk’s Assassination

‘Please feel free to bring such comments by foreigners to my attention,’ Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau wrote. - Jack Phillips

“In light of yesterday’s horrific assassination of a leading political figure, I want to underscore that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country. I have been disgusted to see some on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of the event, and have directed our consular officials to undertake appropriate action,” Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau wrote in a statement on social media...

Earlier this year, Landau announced that he had revoked visas for British musical group Bob Vylan after they led crowds in chanting “death” to the Israeli military...

Is the equity agenda to blame for falling test scores? - UnHerd

A new report card for the American public school system has arrived, and the results aren’t good.
The news is especially dire for two of the chief influences on US education: social-justice pedagogy and tech-centred instruction.
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is administered to a sample of students in American grades 4, 8, and 12 to track student performance in reading, math, and other areas. 

• New NAEP data published this week shows a significant drop in the performance of high-school seniors since 2019 in both reading and maths. 
• Long-term trends show an even bigger fall-off. Shockingly, average reading scores are almost 10 points lower than they were in 1992...
