Read the whole thing, but this part stands out: “The color revolution playbook has one tool for security forces: social pressure through professional networks to induce defection. Driscoll is embedded in those networks. He can be pulled away. Hegseth isn’t.”

Aside from Trump, Hegseth might be the most important individual in the entire executive branch, and for reasons most Americans can’t even imagine.

HMM: Are We Seeing the Makings of an Iranian Civil War? “So we see that when Iranian President Pezeshkian, who seems, as a rule, more pragmatic than the IRGC, signaled he’s ready to be reasonable and will negotiate, the IRGC didn’t follow along, but rather launched a war against Iran’s civilian government. It is the IRGC who have been working against every diplomatic channel that Pezeshkian has been trying to open.”

WHO PAYS FOR FEDERAL WASTE AND FRAUD? All of us do, because hundreds of billions of tax dollars are lost every year to waste and fraud in the federal bureaucracy. It’s one of those issues on which everybody pretty much agrees, but nobody has bothered to quantify its cost to individual Americans. Until now, that is.

James Agresti and his colleagues at Just Facts did a deep data dive on the issue and, as I report today for The Washington Stand, found that every one of this country’s 132 million households will in the normal course of things lose more than $140,000.

And because that figure only applies to losses due to fraudulent activities like Medicare benefits going to non-existent hospice patients, the ultimate total will grow when the impact of losses due to waste and other forms of irresponsible management are calculated.

UPDATE (Charlie): Regular readers know I’m suspicious of most cries of “treason” for all the reasons stated in Federalist 43 and various SCOTUS rulings. But then there’s ex Parte Bellmon (1807): “To constitute that specific crime [of treason] war must be actually levied against the United States.”

I think the current unpleasantness makes treason a colorable claim.

CHANGE (IT BACK): ‘Killing the idea of a Palestinian state’: West Bank settlement of Sa-Nur reestablished.

Cabinet ministers, members of Knesset, local politicians, and hundreds of settler activists celebrated the reestablishment and repopulation of the settlement of Sa-Nur in the northern West Bank on Sunday, nearly 21 years after it was evacuated under the Disengagement Plan.

Samaria Regional Council Chairman Yossi Dagan, who was one of the residents evacuated from Sa-Nur in 2005, was one of the 16 families who took up residence anew in the settlement on Sunday.

Speaking at the ceremony, Defense Minister Israel Katz repeated previous promises that the government is working on legalizing 140 illegally established farming outposts around the West Bank.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich described the reestablishment of Sa-Nur as a “national holiday” and a “historic correction” to the “sinful expulsion from northern Samaria,” in reference to the four settlements in the northern West Bank, including Sa-Nur, that were evacuated under the Disengagement, which also saw Israel dismantle all its settlements in Gaza and pull out of the Strip.

“On this moving day, we are honored to make a historic correction to the sinful expulsion from northern Samaria,” said Smotrich. “We are abolishing the disgrace of expulsion, killing the idea of ​​the Palestinian state, and returning to the settlement of Sa-Nur. This is a day of celebration for the settlement movement and a national holiday for the State of Israel.”

The Arabs of Gaza and the West Bank rejected statehood in favor of terrorism, so this is what they get.
