In retrospect the Global World was excessively dependent on chokepoints controlled by terror groups and theocracies for decades.

These narrow points, like mountain passes, could be crossed only by their leave...-@wretchardthecat

Rather than mitigate supply chain risk, the Global World for ideological and economic reasons, increased their dependence without corresponding insurance, either in the form of stockpiles, alternative suppliers or military forces. 

• They relied instead on the charlatans who offered "international law" as a substitute for physical security...
• Until, in a moment of reckoning Iran partly closed the Bab el-Mandam and more consequentially menaced the Strait of Hormuz and there was no answer...

The only question now is do we have the capacity to learn.

They assure you they're doing "good". They are lying!

'Die in your rage': Islamist attacks and murder plots are quickly adding up | Blaze Media: 

According to a U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security terror threat assessment report published last year, there were over 50 jihadist cases in 30 states between April 2021 and June 2025, including vehicle ramming attacks and efforts to provide material support to ISIS. Last year, for instance, started off with the slaughter of 14 Americans and the grievous injury of scores of additional victims in New Orleans by Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a radical whom the FBI revealed had pledged allegiance to ISIS.

How a First-Grader Taught Her School District and a Federal Judge about Free Speech

In March 2021, California principal Jesus Becerra was confronted by a clear and present threat to his school. - JONATHAN TURLEY

Standing before him was the culprit — a student apparently so dangerous that Becerra had to act without delay to protect the entire Viejo Elementary School in the Capistrano Unified School District.
The little girl is known only as B.B. in federal filings, but her actions were so heinous that a parent alerted Becerra to take whatever action was necessary.

• Beccera showed B.B. the incriminating evidence: a picture of children holding hands with the words “any life” written under “Black Lives Matter.”

Confronting the little girl, Becerra allegedly called the paper “racist.” 

• He told her that she would need to apologize for the outrageous statement. (Becerra denies using the word “racist.”). 
• Her family alleges that she was also suspended from recess for two weeks, apparently to consider her failures as a human being.

That single piece of paper has since prompted years of litigation, in which California educators fought for the right to punish this child for a picture given to a friend. 

 And if that seems outrageous, you do not even know the worst of it...

Man Accused Of Selling ISIS-Inspired Shooter Stolen Gun Was Caught Doing Same Thing Under Biden | The Daily Caller: 

Attorney General Pamela Bondi criticized the prior handling of the case involving Jalloh.

“The Biden Department of Justice declined to prosecute this man and let him off easy with a warning,” Bondi said. “Left-wing soft-on-crime policies cost lives — but this Department of Justice doesn’t tolerate crime, we punish it.”

The Best Quote on Islam That You've Never Heard - Winston Churchill Predicted Europe's Fall to Islam All the Way Back in 1899

The Best Quote on Islam That You've Never Heard - Winston Churchill Predicted Europe's Fall to Islam All the Way Back in 1899: 

For context, this was a younger Churchill, not even 30 years old, and yet to rise to the political heights history would remember him for. Despite that fact, his observations regarding Islam are as timeless and politically astute as any by the British statesman. The quote was posted to social media platform X by Lebanese Canadian commenter Gad Saad, who took to mocking the left and current British Prime Minister Keir Starmer by using one of their favorite insults against Churchill.

City of Los Angeles bought a Ramada Inn for $10.2 million to house homeless.

Since then, they started sending money to a NGO to takeover the project. - Wall Street Apes@WallStreetApes
Its now sat vacant for 4 years and $20 MILLION has been spent, meant to house only 32 people.

No work being done. Money laundering. 

“For years, neighbors say construction has been slow. Where are the workers? Where is the urgency? — For almost 4 years, the property has sat unfinished. Why does it take so long and such a waste of money, there's nothing to even show for it”

Taxpayers will finally see which foreign entities fund U.S. universities * WorldNetDaily * by Elizabetha Troutman Mitchell, The Daily Signal

Taxpayers will finally see which foreign entities fund U.S. universities * WorldNetDaily * by Elizabetha Troutman Mitchell, The Daily Signal: 

Previous administrations allowed universities to mark certain funding sources on their records as exempt from disclosure in public records requests.

"The department, for years, has actually provided a way for universities to not disclose this information to the public," the official said. "We're done with that business. We're not doing that. The law says we have to make available these records for public inspection. We're going to do it."

Harvard University receives the most from counterparties of concern—$634 million—according to the agency's portal. Almost all of the gifts and contracts came from counterparties in China.

What an invention!

 

Scam follows scam. And no one cares?-----'Where's the Money?': CA Librarian Questioned on Missing $650,000 - Linked to Dolly Parton Initiative

“State officials created a nonprofit and allowed the new organization’s executive director — who also ran a Sacramento consulting firm — to pay that firm at least $208,652, according to committee records,” the Post article said... - Amy Furr

• ...However, when the program stalled for a couple of years the state library entered a $19.2 million contract in late 2024 with Strong Reader Partnership, a nonprofit group that was closed down in September...

In regard to the lack of documentation, Grove told Lucas in a budget meeting, 

“You don’t have receipts requested six times. You don’t have bank statements requested six times from this committee. … That makes no sense, and that reeks of horrific no transparency and potential fraud.”...

Instapundit - SUPREMELY PROGRESSIVE-

Iran Becomes First Nation in World History Led by Gay Amputee. 

Credit where credit is due: Iran appears to have scored a remarkable victory for inclusive representation on the global stage. The U.S. intelligence community recently assessed that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the dearly departed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is “probably gay,” the New York Post revealed on Monday...

Assuming the reports are true, Mojtaba Khamenei would be the first-ever LGBT amputee to lead a sovereign nation. Iran’s monumental achievement is certain to invigorate the American progressives...

Iran could even be in the process of super-sizing its supreme progressivism: “While it’s illegal to be gay in Iran, the government does allow sex changes to spare gay men from criminal punishment (such as, er, the death penalty). Cockburn hears rumors that Mojtaba is currently undergoing secret treatment in a Russian hospital. Could this regime-change war bring Iran not only its first gayatollah, but a female supreme leader?” - Ed Driscoll

The dems "pre-surrendered". Trump changed all of that!-----Look at the board. Russia’s economy is being eaten alive from the inside.

China just posted the lowest growth target in its modern history and admitted, for the first time ever, that deflation has been devouring their economy for three straight years.  - Bill Brindley

• Iran’s supreme leader is dead, and their Navy is scattered across the ocean floor. 
• Venezuela’s dictator is sitting in a jail cell in lower Manhattan. 
• Cuba can’t fuel an airplane. 
• And the great CRINK alliance… China, Russia, Iran, North Korea… the coalition that every think tank in Washington warned us was going to end American dominance? It fell apart the first time any of them actually needed help...

And where is America? 

• Military deployed across multiple theaters with a speed and precision that stunned the entire world. 
• The economy absorbing global shocks that would flatten any other nation on earth. The dollar still the reserve currency of the planet. 
• NATO still intact. 
• And a president who demonstrated in a matter of hours in Caracas what Russia has failed to accomplish in four years in Ukraine.

The United States of America is operating from a position of strength that would have seemed impossible five years ago. 

• Every major adversary is weaker. 
• Every supposed counter-alliance is fractured. 
• Every bet against America has lost. 
• And there is not a thing… not a single thing… that any country on this earth can do to stop it.

GREAT idea!
