CHINA NOT SUBJECT TO NUKE LIMITS: Russia, the U.S. and other nuclear nations — Britain, India, Pakistan, etc. — are signers of the Reagan-era inspired New START treaty. That puts a ceiling on the total of warheads and launchers a signer can deploy.
But China has never signed on to the treaty, which means, according to Rod Martin and his guest author, Antonia Graceffo, that the CCP’s current nuke buildup can go as far as Beijing can afford.
That fundamentally changes the nuclear calculus that has obtained since the 1980s, including most immediately the need for the U.S. to deploy that “Star Wars” missile defense system Reagan called for decades ago.
It may well prove to be that Reagan’s greatest contribution was not winning the Cold War and bringing about the Soviet Union’s demise, as historically important as that was, but rather his defying the near-unanimous reaction among the “expert” class that it would be impossible to intercept an incoming ballistic missile. America has THAAD and Patriot anti-missile missile systems today because Reagan ignored the experts.
ANDREW SULLIVAN: Trans Extremism is Backfiring on Gay People.
As Sullivan sees it, the fight for gay marriage had always been one that emphasized this was a change for consenting adults which wouldn’t change how the nuclear family worked for straight people. They could still get married and raise their kids whether the gay couple down the street were married or just living together. The argument from the pro gay marriage side was this changes things for us but not for you. And obviously that worked. It worked not just in court but it worked in the greater population. As noted above, opposition to gay marriage became a minority position even in the Republican Party. But the trans rights movement completely undoes that tacit cultural agreement.
In the gay rights movement, there had always been an unspoken golden rule: Leave children out of it. We knew very well that any overreach there could provoke the most ancient blood libel against us: that we groom and abuse kids. You can bring up your children however you like, we promised. We will leave you alone. We will leave your children alone.
So what did the gender revolutionaries go and do? They focused almost entirely on children and minors. Partly because the adult issues had been resolved or close to it, and partly because true cultural revolutions start with the young, it meant overhauling the education not only of children with gender dysphoria, but of every other kid as well.
Kids all over the country were impacted. Your children were taught in elementary school that being a boy or a girl was something they could choose and change at will. Your daughter found herself running against a trans girl (i.e. a biological male) in athletics. Children in elementary school got to pick pronouns, and some children socially transitioned at school without their parents’ knowledge or permission…
Soon enough, the right began associating what used to be the lesbian and gay movement with this gender extremism, and the L.G.B.T.Q.+ movement responded not by moderating tone or substance, but by closing ranks, seemingly determined to prove its point.
Indeed:

DRILL, BABY DRILL! Trump Touts Cheapest Summer Gas Prices Since 2021.
President Donald Trump’s White House proudly announced Friday that America has the lowest summer gas prices in four years, since the first summer after Joe Biden took office.
In a White House press release, the Trump administration noted that even leftist mainstream media has acknowledged the positive trend in gas prices. The Trump administration has prioritized oil and gas drilling to boost our energy independence since January, and it is already paying off.
The press release announced, “Americans are seeing the cheapest summertime gas prices since 2021 — more than 20 cents lower than one year ago — as President Donald J. Trump delivers on his promises of lower prices, stable inflation, and higher wages.”
MSM, Barack Obama during his three terms, hardest hit.
KNOX COUNTY AUTHORITIES NOT ACTING LIKE L.A. OR NYC: Grand jury indicts Yassin Terou, 11 others more than a year after UT protests calling for Gaza ceasefire. “Yassin Terou, who owns Yassin’s Falafel House in Knoxville, and nine others are facing criminal trespassing charges for participating in the ‘Nakba Day Vigil’ on May 15, 2024, at UT’s campus. UT police cuffed Terou and others outside the law school after a group participating in the vigil was warned they were in an unauthorized area and told to leave. Terou said he tried to speak with police and asked if they could quickly use the area to mourn Palestinians killed and communities uprooted during the Nakba. According to the arrest report, the group had been assigned a space for the event immediately across the street on Cumberland Avenue outside the Student Union Plaza, which had been reserved until 10 p.m. UTPD said the group did not leave the unreserved space outside the law school and were given two warnings to leave before they took them into custody.”
Misdemeanor charges like this are often dismissed for costs, but the DA wasn’t having any of that here.
WE NEED A COMPLETE AND TOTAL SHUTDOWN OF THE WASHINGTON POST UNTIL WE CAN FIND JUST WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON THERE: Washington Post journalist busted by DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro for allegedly possessing child porn.
A Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post journalist was arrested and charged after authorities allegedly discovered child porn on his work computer, DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced Friday.
Thomas Pham LeGro, a 48-year-old video editor at the news outlet, was taken into custody on Thursday after FBI agents raided his Washington, DC, home and discovered a folder on his work laptop which contained 11 videos depicting child sexual abuse material, according to Pirro’s office.
FBI agents also discovered “fractured pieces of a hard drive in the hallway outside the room where LeGro’s work laptop was found,” during the execution of the search warrant.
Legro made his first appearance in District Court of Washington, DC, on Friday and has a detention hearing scheduled for next Wednesday.
Related: Pulitzer-Winning WaPo Reporter Charged With Alleged Possession Of Child Porn. “By 2018, LeGro and the staff had won a Pulitzer Prize for ‘purposeful and relentless reporting that changed the course of a Senate race in Alabama,’ exposing Roy Moore’s alleged sexual harassment of underage girls in 2017 while he was the GOP nominee for Senate.”
