NATIONAL SUICIDE FOR PUTIN’S EGO: Russia’s Middle-Aged Poor to the Grinder. “What the data we do have show is that Russia will fight Ukraine to its last poverty stricken middle-aged man before pushing the papered urbanites in Moscow and St. Petersburg—or the flinty TicTok warriors of Chechnya—into the trenches.”

THE WEST IS IN TROUBLE:
The New Zealand Defence Force spent 2025 training soldiers to take out a fictional Christian terrorist group — on a map of their own country.
None of NZ's 23 listed terrorist orgs are Christian.

21ST CENTURY BIGOTRY:
Harvard was so upset when told they couldn't racially discriminate they decided to be (more) vindictive and racially discriminate ONLY against White Americans.
They dropped admissions of Whites by 16%.
Their own data shows in a merit system Whites would be 50% of the freshmen. https://t.co/xfvbF1K69D pic.twitter.com/UV4tG4lmkT

WELL, I HOPE THEY’RE RIGHT. . . . The Artemis 1 moon mission had a heat shield issue. Here’s why NASA doesn’t think it will happen again on Artemis 2.
OPEN THREAD: Tuesday’s groovy.
LOL, TERRY MORAN:
Indeed, the interview was in response to his exit as California Governor and not as a candidate. The primary elections were in mid-1976, so the interview was nearly a year and a half before his next primary election.

What’s really funny is that he made a fool of himself defending something that even Jasmine Crockett wouldn’t.

THEY TRIED TO ESCAPE X’S “TOXICITY,” BUT THEY WERE THE TOXINS:
So funny. A bunch of people who knew they'd soon be answering tough questions on child experimentation, trans violence etc all left X for another site, which they promptly turned into such a woke nightmare that even Will Stancil can't take it. pic.twitter.com/lvyN93PYG4

Criminality is not random
Only 0.2% of people ever commit murder, yet 67% of **all murders**are committed by people with prior arrests
People inclined to commit crime will continue to, unless stopped.
When those people are stopped, the crime stops. https://t.co/fDdyO5V3o3 pic.twitter.com/Uijz5E6v1S

SCIENCE:
As a new parent, I spend a lot of time changing diapers and feeding the baby. 15 months ago I wasn't doing any of this. I felt busy then too, so where did all this childcare time come from?
