How military coups begin!-----The Pentagon Must Go on the Offensive to Defeat Politicized Officers
That Space Force colonel in command in Greenland – well, formerly in command in Greenland – who ran her fool mouth to undermine her commander-in-chief demonstrates an all-too-common problem with today’s senior military officers. - Kurt Schlichter 
We keep seeing these passive-aggressive, and not so passively aggressive, officers acting out and throwing childish tantrums of resistance to the President that the people of the United States elected.
It’s inconceivable to those of us from the military who won the Cold War; we stayed the hell out of politics.
Somehow, they must have missed that civilian control block of instruction; non-partisanship is a vital principle of our officer corps.
- To be political on duty is a violation of our oaths.
- It’s a violation of our ethos as officers.
- And it’s got to be brutally crushed – even Barack Obama understood that when he properly canned General Stanley McChrystal for having a staff that thought it was okay to diss the President to reporters...
More incidents of Planned Parenthood failing to report suspected sex abuse * WorldNetDaily * by Cassy Cooke, Live Action News
More incidents of Planned Parenthood failing to report suspected sex abuse * WorldNetDaily * by Cassy Cooke, Live Action News:
Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion chain in the U.S., continues to receive hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funding. Specifically, according to its latest annual report, the abortion giant received nearly $700 million in that year alone. Yet there are multitudes of reasons why Planned Parenthood should be defunded.
Planned Parenthood has been caught covering up the sexual abuse of children, with multiple victims testifying over a number of years as to how Planned Parenthood aborted their children and returned them to their abusers. Over 15 years ago, Live Action founder and president Lila Rose went undercover at Planned Parenthood facilities across the country, posing as a teen involved with a much older sexual partner.
READ ALL!-----How Democrats used NGOs to end-run voters: A ‘parallel government’ By Glenn H. Reynolds
And one of our society’s biggest falsehoods-in-a-name: “Non-governmental organizations.” - Glenn H. Reynolds 
We imagined they raise money, help the downtrodden, send out press releases and engage in other private activities to promote the causes they favor.
They’re not government entities, we thought — the very name says that — but a species of private charity whose good intentions deserve the benefit of any doubt.
Perhaps some NGOs do operate in that way.
- Until recently these groups have been widely seen as international, idealized versions of domestic non-profits.

Navigating a changing military recruitment environment * WorldNetDaily * by Beth Asch, Real Clear Wire:

While the improvement has not yet been the subject of rigorous statistical research, steps taken by Pentagon and the Congress to provide incentives for potential enlistees that are consistent with what past research shows are effective.
The Case For Not Correcting The "Mistake" Of Deporting An El Salvadoran To El Salvador
This is a battle between Article II and Article III authorities, but the better case rests with the President's view of foreign policy needs. - Shipwreckedcrew
Let me start with some undisputed facts.
Let me start with some undisputed facts.
- First, Kilmar Abrego Garcia was an illegal alien found by the Immigration Courts to be subject to removal from the United States. He has no right to return to or remain in the United States.
- Second, all during the removal proceedings Abrego Garcia was detained. The initial detention was based upon a finding — supported by the evidence presented — that he was a member of MS-13. That finding was later upheld by the Bureau of Immigration Appeals...
- Third, after being detained pending removal, Abrego Garcia sought three forms of relief in connection with the Order of Removal — he sought asylum, he sought protection under the Convention Against Torture, and he sought Withholding of Removal...
His asylum claim was rejected because it was filed more than one year after he entered the US — he was in the U.S. for seven years, from 2012 to 2019, before he applied.
His claim under the Convention Against Torture was denied because he could not make a factual basis in 2019 that he had a fear of torture by the Salvadoran government, and that is the harm to be avoided under the CAT.
Finally, he was granted “Withholding of Removal” — WOR. Much like asylum claims, WOR is based on a fear of persecution if returned to one’s home country. But while asylum grants the right to remain in the U.S., the relief under WOR is to not be returned to your own country — you still get deported...

Instapundit - FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMED: How Sweden’s multicultural dream went fatally wrong
Why, in a land that prides itself on welcoming migrants, are so many gang members from migrant communities? - Ed Driscoll
Barely a week passes in Sweden today without a teenager being arrested for such a hit, keeping Salihu extremely busy, and the public in the grip of a national crisis like no other before it. A softly-spoken former tabloid journalist, the 41-year-old could be a character from a Scandi-noir novel, shining light in society’s darker corners. The body count on his beat, though, is far higher than any Stieg Larsson novel, and holds out little prospect of a satisfactory ending.
For the story he has pursued for the last decade is, in effect, one giant, unsolved murder mystery:
- why has Sweden, long the envy of the rest of Europe for its peace and prosperity, suddenly seeing so many gangland killings?...
Earlier: Nearly two thirds of convicted rapists in Sweden are migrants or second generation immigrants.
Assassination chic: Survey shows majority of progressives say political violence justified | The College Fix
The ‘peace, tolerance, and love’ folks are charlatans - Dave Huber A new survey shows that over half of self-identified progressives believe “at least somewhat” that killing President Trump is a justifiable action.
The report by the Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University Social Perception Lab notes that after the first Trump assassination attempt last July, “tolerance – and even advocacy – for political violence appears to have surged, especially among politically left-leaning segments of the population.”...

Specific findings of the report include:
- — Almost 50 percent of “left-of-center” respondents said murdering Elon Musk was at least “partially justifiable.”
- — Over 57 percent agreed at least somewhat that destruction of Tesla dealerships is a legitimate action.
- — The “strongest predictors” of violence towards Musk are “far-left political identity” and “left-wing authoritarianism.”
- — Time spent on the social media platform BlueSky also is a “significant predictor” of justifying violence.
Plugged in, checked out: The Dept. of Energy needs a reality surge | Blaze Media
Plugged in, checked out: The Dept. of Energy needs a reality surge | Blaze Media:
The Department of Energy needs a complete overhaul.
Congress established the DOE in 1977 in response to the 1973 oil crisis, consolidating a patchwork of energy-related programs under one roof. The department took over the management of nuclear programs, national research labs, and a variety of alternative energy efforts. Its 2025 budget tops $50 billion. It supports 14,000 employees and a staggering 95,000 contractors across 83 field locations.
The Department of Government Efficiency should scrutinize the DOE’s effectiveness like any other federal agency. But this department demands a different kind of review. The issue isn’t just waste or mismanagement. It’s mission.
Did You See Everyone Pile on CNN in the Oval Office Today?
This exchange is why we elected Donald Trump. - Matt Vespa
- Nayib Bukele, El Salvador’s president, visited the White House, where the media opted to go with the Abrego Garcia story.
- This illegal alien was deported to El Salvador, his home country.
The media and the Democrats want him back—he’s not coming back.
President Bukele shot down that notion, mocking the question, calling it “preposterous.”
“The question is preposterous," he said. "How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? I don't have the power to return him to the United States."

The agency recently uncovered $382 million in such payments since 2020 and named California, New York, and Massachusetts as the top states to blame for the problem, Fox News reported on Friday.
