Brilliant!-----Three months ago, Red China thought it knew what its odds would look like if they found the right opening, the right time, the perfect moment, to move on Taiwan.

The Trump Administration's actions in Venezuela eight weeks ago - and especially, the joint US and Israeli actions in Iran right now -have changed those calculations. - John F. Di Leo

That's not to say they were necessarily going to do it "any day now", but it is to say that they thought they had war gamed it enough to be able to predict success "when the time is right."...

• It is a reasonable assumption that even though China, Russia, and our other enemies knew we were strong, knew we still had great capability, they had no idea we had this much devastating power before now.
• This action will most likely do more to stop lots of other wars from taking place at all than any meeting, any diplomacy, and UN conference could have hoped to accomplish.
• As much as these actions were indeed about Venezuela and Iran, make no mistake... they were ALSO all about China and Russia. 

Bigly.

1984!-----Canadian cops questioned dad about human trafficking after he took daughter to coffee shop

Plus: AI for mass surveillance, Alaskan lawsuit to decriminalize prostitution, "enhanced" British regulation of streaming services, and more… - Elizabeth Nolan Brown

• Police blasted out Jonathan Puddle's picture as part of a human trafficking investigation. 
• His mistake? Going out in public with his daughter, Emmi...

When another patron saw the pair together—an older man with a teenager!—he grew suspicious, because…reasons. 

He followed the Puddles to their car, questioned them, and then called the police.

• "Soon after, an image of the pair, taken from a security camera and shared online by the Guelph Police Service, was seen by tens of thousands of people as investigators tried to track down the duo," CTV reported...

It's yet another example of how insane the human trafficking panic has gotten...

Iran's Top 20 Attacks On The West

Iran's Top 20 Attacks On The West - Doug Ross
Since the Iran Hostage Crisis of 1979 — when Democrat President Jimmy Carter capitulated to terrorism — no one has possessed the cojones to challenge Iran’s Islamic Death Cultists. 

Until now.

• Let’s review what Iran — the most malevolent actor in the Middle East — has done since that day

1. Iran Hostage Crisis (Nov. 4, 1979 – Jan. 20, 1981)

17. Drone Attack in Jordan (Jan. 28, 2024)...
18. Hamas Attack on Israel (Oct. 7, 2023)...

19. Paris Bombings (December 1985 – September 1986)...
20. Sustained Iran-Backed Proxy Campaign Against U.S. Forces in Iraq and Syria (October 2023–2025)...

• You may not think we’ve been engaged in a multi-decade war with Iran, but they thought otherwise.

Is This the Perfect Post Exposing the Insanity of American Lib Women Over These Iranian Airstrikes?

It’s white liberal women, of course. - Matt Vespa

• The white wine-guzzling, self-righteous leftists who are going bananas over the end of the world’s largest state sponsor of terror and one of the worst offenders against women’s and human rights. 
• What is it with dense white lefty women and their affinity for the burqa and what it stands for? 

By far, this is the best post showing the odd juxtaposition and how out of touch American liberalism has become:

The Iranian people are cheering, and their women are elated. 

• Ours are miserable and protesting this war of liberation and security...

Her last words!

World Trade Surged by 4.4% in 2025 Despite Tariffs | Newsmax.com: 

Global trade volumes climbed sharply in 2025 despite sweeping U.S. tariffs, defying widespread predictions that higher duties would choke off cross-border commerce, The Wall Street Journal reports. The volume of goods traded worldwide rose 4.4% in 2025, accelerating from 2.5% growth in 2024, according to data from the Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis (CPB).

Where libs rule-----The Ann Arbor Graffiti Alley is Great Art… Until It Isn’t

The iconic alley has some beautiful colored paint, but all the political messages ruin the experience - Bobby Mars
Ann Arbor—Down East Liberty in Ann Arbor, past the Michigan Theater, there’s a darkened entryway, a portal between two parking structures. 

There’s colored paint all over the entrance, and it’s unclear what the space actually is, whether it’s public or private or if anyone maintains it at all.

• It’s Ann Arbor’s Graffiti Alley, and at first glance it’s a genuinely interesting collaborative artwork—until it isn’t, and you realize it’s as shallow as the new bourgeois high rises around it...
