JOHN LUCAS: We were warned. Now Retired Lt. Colonel Anthony Aguilar’s embellishments stretch the credibility of his tales about war cimes to the breaking point.

THE PENTAGON SEEMS TO BE IN DENIAL: From the Front Lines of Ukraine: A Soldier’s Warning to America.

What does this war look like now?

A 20-year-old soldier sits in his bunker with a small team, on a mission he planned himself, flying $500 drones that were assembled by volunteers in some basement according to a constantly updated distributed protocol. Refinements to the drones are made at his battalion’s informal drone lab, where some parts are 3D-printed and others are crowdfunded. The young soldier monitors via Starlink a constantly rotating livestream of quadcopter or fixed-wing expendable drone ISR platforms, either freely asking to kill or waiting to be directed by a duty officer to do so. His team is always making small adjustments and trying new things with their drones, ground stations, and antennas, even though most of them had zero engineering experience before finding themselves here. This is a far cry from the duties of a U.S. Marine infantry lance corporal.

From his position a few kilometers from the front, our drone soldier will fly his drones against infantry just one to ten kilometers deep into enemy territory. The infantry they hunt walk relentlessly forward, around the clock, like zombies, singly or in pairs (or small teams) through rubble, tree lines, and even open fields. They have little choice but to take a rifle and press forward for a quick death – what waits behind them is worse. Some ride motorbikes just to speed the process.

Even if 95% of them are killed in their march, a small percentage will pass through the large gaps in the porous, thin Ukrainian defenses, and could surprise and gun down the unsung Ukrainian infantry or mortar teams. Some may even make it far enough to slaughter drone teams in their hides. If they take even one tree line a day across a front, it is more than enough.

Win, lose, or draw, Ukraine has changed how wars are fought — and Russia, the laggard until the last year, has played an impressive game of catch-up.

But few in NATO capitals seem to be paying much attention.

APPARENTLY YOU CAN BE A CRAZY LEFTIST — SERIOUSLY CRAZY — AND GET A JOB AT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. WELL, YOU COULD BEFORE TRUMP, ANYWAY. HE’S GONE NOW. Pink-Shirted Guy Who Threw a Sandwich at a D.C. Fed Has a Day Job, and, Oh Boy.

Now, if your first thought when you saw this Nancy Boy screeching at officers and throwing his $13 sub at the cop was, “I wonder where he works?” then you’re on your game. This is D.C., after all. There are a lot of government employees buying subs, screaming at cops, planning resistance, and moonlighting as underground Antifa activists.

Attorney General Pam Bondi answered the question.

The pink-shirted sandwich assaulter is Sean Charles Dunn, who’s 37 and old enough to know better. Now for the ultimate Find Out moment — bring on the cuffs.

Seriously, how was this guy ever hired, even under Biden? Oh, who am I kidding? We know how.

The guy screaming “fascist” and hurling his sub sandwich at a rank-and-file cop just doing his job in DC was literally a DOJ Criminal Division employee — and the 'Free DC' activist group protesting Trump’s crime crackdown in the city is actually led by people with criminal…

You'll find my utter lack of surprise to find that a DOJ trial attorney threw a sub sandwich at an officer.

Not a trial attorney. The trial attorney with the same name is 15-20 years older and has been at DOJ since at least the 2000s.

“Sassy sub chucker.” Love it.

UPDATE:

The best part of this is him mincing about in his country club pink polo shirt and little gay shorts, screaming about fascism (yawn), and flinging meatball sandwiches.

OPM INTRODUCES SEN. WARREN TO THE FACTS: Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), joined by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), ripped the Trump administration for “embedding” legions of DOGE political appointees into the career civil service. Their complaints were carried in a 10-page, single-spaced letter to U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor.

There is a process for political appointees to “career-in,” but it can be time-consuming and laborious, so few are those who pursue it. But Warren, et. al. cite multiple media reports that make it sound as if legions of Elon Musk robots are burrowing into the bureaucracy, including an NPR story with two specific names.

But according to an OPM spokesman responding to The Washington Stand, neither of the two former DOGErs is on the career civil service payroll. And, according to Kupor, there simply aren’t any such embedders: “No DOGE-affiliated individuals have ‘unlawfully burrowed’ into career roles. We welcome oversight grounded in facts.”

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE:

English was once a highly popular major, because it taught people to think, to weigh alternative interpretations, and to write. Captured by far-left activists, its intellectual value to students has plummeted. It won’t be long before universities start closing their English… https://t.co/p7Eu2Tkx1n

UNEXPECTED HEADLINES: CNN Admits That Americans ‘Vastly Prefer’ Trump’s Approach to Crime.

I WONDERED WHY THE RICH VARIETY OF PORTUGUESE PASTRIES HAD COLLAPSED INTO THE NEVER SUFFICIENTLY D*MNED PASTEL DE NATA:  Cultural malapropagation.

I mean my kids were in their teens and I thought it would be nice to take them to some of the Victorian-looking coffee shops where my grandfather took me for high tea. Because I thought — being in the hollow leg stage — they could safely enjoy all the strange pastries available. But of course it was full of English tourists which we don’t object to, and pasteis de nata, which I did, since we were in Porto and the never sufficiently d*mned pasteis de nata are a Lisbon specialty. And it collapsed everything onto itself like a baking black hole.
And now they’re doing something repulsive — glares at picture — involving some kind of frosting to the bolos de arroz that were my breakfast during my college years. Look, I realize that I no longer have a claim to the country and its culinary arts. But would it be possible for you zanies to leave me my memories.  I guess I’d best buy a book of conventual Portuguese baking. In case there are grandkids at some point. They won’t be taught the language (well, the kids — and my husband — never learned). They don’t much care for the history or the culture. And I don’t mind any of that. They’re Americans. But we have to stop the British destroying the cookery. We must appropriate it first!

THE IVY EXILE: Columbia’s Sweet Surrender. “Before the protests of the past few years, I still would’ve placed Columbia somewhat ahead of the rest of the Ivy League in terms of positive name recognition and perception of prestige, but now the brass at Low Library has to face the reality of free-fall where, Ivy League or not, Columbia has likely dropped well out of the top ten, and may now sit somewhat behind other institutions that it had never been forced to quite consider peers: Tufts, Duke, Hopkins, Chicago, Northwestern, and (egads!) maybe even some of the flagship state schools. . . . While I do have some significant qualms about some of the Trump administration’s assault on elite higher education (I hated to see funding disrupted for the incredible scientific research conducted by brilliant scholars I used to cover at Columbia Engineering, for instance), Columbia eminently deserves a reckoning, good and hard. The appalling antisemitism so inescapable over the past few years is the tip of the iceberg in terms of the fashionable prejudices Columbia went out of its way to promote and inculcate over the past fifteen to twenty years. So I was disappointed to see Columbia wriggle out of substantive accountability with a pittance of a fine of merely $221 million, pocket change for an institution with a near-$15 billion endowment.”

But: “Columbia’s drastic decline in social status at last became a sort of advantage: the university has become too marginal to matter as much as it once did. Humbling Harvard is the real prize, and slapping Columbia around but a minor sideshow. … Can Columbia lick its wounds and work back to its former renown? I doubt it. One 1968 was bad enough, and the antics of the past few years have perhaps permanently persuaded much of the country that Columbia is but a middling Oberlin on the Hudson. . . . I expect it will always remain the Ivy with an asterisk, the place that managed to self-abuse itself from near the top of the Ivy League heap to its rock bottom. Low Library has made its bed, a lousy and flea-bitten one, and it will be gratifying to see Columbia have to sleep in it.”

88% OF COLLEGE STUDENTS SELF-CENSOR NON-LIBERAL VIEWS: A new survey of more than 1,400 students at Northwestern and University of Michigan finds a pervasive culture of self-censorship that silences non-progressive views and is “driven by fear of social ostracism and academic penalty.”

The Washington Stand’s Sarah Holliday dug deeper into the survey results and found not even a sliver of a silver lining:

“According to the research, 78 percent self-censor on gender identity, 77 percent on politics, and 68 percent on family values. Alarmingly, 80 percent admit to submitting classwork that misrepresents their beliefs to align with professors’ expectations — a practice so ingrained it’s become ‘second nature’ for many.

“And unfortunately, this ‘fragmentation doesn’t end at the classroom door.’ Seventy-three percent of respondents confessed they don’t even trust having ‘conversations about these values with close friends. Nearly half said they routinely conceal beliefs in intimate relationships for fear of ideological fallout.’ The authors described this as ‘identity regulation at scale, and it is being institutionalized.’”
