IMMIGRATION DEPENDS ON WHO YOU LET IN:  Refugees.

Which is why everyone coming in needs to be carefully vetted.

AND PEOPLE IN HELL WANT ICE WATER:  Iran Rejects Cease-Fire Proposal.

THEIR OWN HOPE, REALLY:  Iran’s Greatest Ally Is the Left.

OH, HONESTLY, FOR SURE:   STEP RIGHT UP, FOLKS!  The Greatest AI Nonsense Show on Earth is here! Get your official vintage AI Myths Bingo card — packed with gloriously untrue claims about sentient AIs, magic prompts, and instant utopia! Mark those wild myths as you spot them!

I DON’T KNOW. PERHAPS IT’S JUST ME, BUT THIS SEEMS SUBOPTIMAL?  The Authorization Layer. European military command structures were designed to produce no defendants.

HE’S RIGHT, YOU KNOW?  This is why Americans are the deadliest fighters on earth. I met a priest yesterday who just got accepted to chaplain school in Newport. I asked him the obvious question: Marines or Navy? Navy, he said. His face fell a little. He told me he could never be a Marine because every Marine is a rifleman, and as a priest he can’t carry a weapon. He’s hoping to get assigned to a Marine unit anyway. All chaplains are Navy officers, so that’s the only door in.

A FRIEND OF A FRIEND NEEDS HELP:  Many of you have doubtless read articles in gun magazines and related publications by Kat Hel. Lately she’s written under her married name of Katherine Ainsworth Stevens. She’s a friend to most of us in the North Texas Troublemakers, and to my wife and I. She visited our home just a week ago.

TEARING DOWN IS EASIER THAN BUILDING. IT’S ALSO EVIL:  One of the stranger (and sadder) part of these latter days of the culture wars is the long-standing desire by some to tear down and trash Western Civilization. While none of those same people would admit that they desire barbarism instead, the problem is without commitment to maintaining a civilization’s guardrails, social entropy takes over and “things fall apart.” 

AMERICAN LIVES MATTER:  About that rescue of a downed pilot inside Iran. America Wins!

THIS IS WORTH READING:  From Martin Iles, reposted: Having lived in the USA for nearly two years, I’ve realised something. The USA and the remainder of the Western world are no longer aligned. We all laugh and mock when the Americans say, “Freedom!” because we truly think we’re as free as they are. Wrong. We’re not. Not even close. The laws, the mindset, and the behaviour, is totally different in this regard.
