PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE, ARKANSAS STYLE: Hero Dad Wins Arkansas Sheriff Primary Election While Awaiting Murder Trial.

Picture this: A sleazy 67-year-old creep named Michael Fosler sneaked around Spencer’s home, lured Mr. Spencer’s young daughter from her bedroom with unknown promises, and bolted away in his dusty pickup truck.

Spencer sensed that something was amiss. He looked into his daughter’s bedroom and saw that she was gone. Dad heard Fosler’s truck leaving with some urgency. Spencer wasn’t going to wait for the cops to finish their donuts to respond. He grabbed his gun and tok off in hot pursuit.

Minutes later, Spencer caught up to the child molester’s truck like he was Liam Neesom in Taken.

After Spencer forced the perv’s pickup off the road, words flew. An “altercation” ensued and…boom. Spencer plugged the creep ceasing any respiratory activity and rescuing his little girl from what could’ve been a lifetime of nightmares.

Heroic? Hell yes. But the local prosecutor decided he can’t just let a heroic dad “get away” with doing the right thing. He slapped Spencer with a murder charge. Because, you know, the justice system gonna justice.

Fuming, but far from finished, Spencer flipped the script, saying, in effect, “Screw this broken machine — I’ll fix it myself.”

Awesome. But he still needs to be found Not Guilty when the case goes to trial this spring to run in the general election.

HMM: GOP’s Bruce Blakeman Narrows Gap With Kathy Hochul in New York Race. “New York, long viewed as one of the most Democratic states in the nation, has become increasingly competitive over the last few years. Hochul faced a closer-than-expected race in 2022, and former Vice President Kamala Harris underperformed past Democratic presidential candidates against President Donald Trump in 2024.”

Democrats keep pushing the boundaries with terrible candidates, but blue state voters keep going for them.

LAUGHING WOLF HAS THOUGHTS ON DECAPITATION STRIKES: Surprise, Response.

The thirty-minute window was predicated on detecting Soviet missiles being launched. Flight time from there to here is roughly thirty minutes. If we saw them fueling (Soviets/Russians use a lot of liquid-fueled ICBMs), longer period for response. That was sufficient: thirty or forty years ago.

Even twenty years ago, depressed trajectory shots from subs not too far off the coast cut that time from detection to impact to about fifteen minutes. The assurances the subs couldn’t get that close, and would be detected if they did, were deafening, though reminding me a bit of toddlers drumming their feet and yelling while having their fingers in their ears.

Today, we have massive container ships plying the waters of our country. If I can figure how to put one or more land-attack cruise missiles into a container for launch, I guarantee you others have as well. When you look at more modern drones, boy howdy are you talking the ability to get things in the air and to target with little or no detection. Iran has the capability (or did) and China has been openly experimenting with it. For all the open, think iceberg and know others have as well, a lot of others.

We lost our sense of seriousness about these things during the Clinton administration, and never fully got it back.

ROBERT SPENCER: UK Mulls Banning 67 Dog Breeds for ‘Animal Health’ — but Is That Really the Reason? “Given that these claims about the health of well-known and beloved dog breeds are so implausible, what else could be going on here? Well, Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) recently landed himself in hot water when he posted this on X: ‘If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.’ Could it be that Muslims in Britain are forcing exactly this choice, or that Britain’s far-left Labour government is trying to ensure that the country’s growing and restive Muslim population continues to vote for Labour en masse?”

GOOD GAL WITH A GUN: Felony Stupid: Woman Forces Entry on Des Moines Home.

There’s dumb and then there’s felony stupid. Stannita Wilson probably couldn’t spell “felony stupid” but she lived it boldly and with pride. At 46, Wilson should have known that life is harder if you make stupid choices, but bless her heart, she still tries. In this case, the questionable decision-making turned a Saturday night in Des Moines into a one-woman home invasion tour.

A homeowner, probably minding his or her own business with a cup of warm milk and a Wheel of Fortune rerun on the tube before bed, heard a shrieking lunatic in their back yard and banging on the door. That was Wilson.

Then the banging started on the back door. The far-too-polite soul unlocked it — probably because Midwestern manners, you know — and BAM, in stormed Wilson like she owned the place, acting like a violent fool and attacked the homeowner.

Fortunately, in addition to Midwestern manners, the victim was also in possession of a firearm. The un-named homeowner had grabbed it before calling 911, a move that may have saved their life.

Not sure if I buy this report or not, but it isn’t as though Chinese gear has proven effective in either Venezuela or Iran

EVERYONE HAS A PLAN UNTIL THEY GET PUNCHED IN THE MOUTH: Iran had a plan to fight Israel and the US. It all collapsed after October 7.

And yet, since the joint US-Israeli airstrikes against Iran began over the weekend, killing its supreme leader and devastating the regime’s military and infrastructure, the response from the axis of resistance has been fairly feeble.

The Iran-backed Lebanese militia Hezbollah, which in the past has boasted of the ability to destroy Tel Aviv, fired a “handful” of rockets into Israel, which prompted a much larger campaign of airstrikes by Israel in southern Lebanon and Beirut. Wary of being dragged into yet another war, the Lebanese government has taken the unprecedented step of banning military activities by the group. Yemen’s Houthis, who dramatically shut down most global shipping through the Red Sea two years ago, have been conspicuously quiet. Militants in Iraq claimed a drone attack on a US military base in Erbil, but the attack was intercepted without any casualties, and some groups seem to be staying quiet.

The impotent response is part of a larger story of the Iranian regime’s collapse from a fearsome military power to a weakened state fighting for its survival against an emboldened America and Israel. Rather than secure it from attack, its strategy of backing proxy forces in conflicts abroad played a critical part in dragging it into the existential crisis it faces now.

And while there are a number of factors that led to its unraveling, there’s one clear moment when it all started to go south: Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.

That terror invasion was so despicable that it required being a vicious antisemite — or a fairly ordinary leftist — to dismiss or excuse it.

GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY, TRUMP-STYLE: ‘Decapitate and Delegate’: Trump Tests New Model of U.S.-Led Regime Change.

This century, America sank into two of its longest wars—in Afghanistan and Iraq—following lightning strikes that removed governments deemed threats to U.S. national security. Those quagmires helped fuel the MAGA movement, which rallied around Trump’s promises of avoiding overseas military entanglements.
Now, Trump is putting his pledges and American firepower to the test.

With an ethos that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth summed up as “We’re not dumb about it,” Trump has committed the country to a war that he has said will last only weeks, following the success of a military raid that was done in one night.

In both Iran and Venezuela, Trump has said the target country’s fate is ultimately up to its citizens—even as he floats preferred successors and the U.S. exerts military pressure from above. The goal is to extract tangible wins for the U.S.—access to oil, reduced migration and decreased drug flows, a weakened adversary—without the risks of deploying large ground forces.

Trump’s approach reflects both his desire to avoid repeating this century’s wars and his disdain for what he has called the “failed policy of nation building.” His preference is to work with friendlier governments that can provide tangible benefits to be sold as “America First” triumphs.

Trump’s new strategy, a State Department official quipped, can be summed up as “decapitate and delegate.”

It’s working well enough so far in Venezuela.

THE “SPREADING” IS BEING DONE BY IRAN, WHICH HARDLY HAS A NEIGHBOR LEFT IT HASN’T ATTACKED: More Tankers Come Under Attack as US-Iran Conflict Spreads.

A Bahamas-flagged crude oil tanker was targeted by an Iranian remote-controlled boat laden with explosives while anchored near Iraq’s Khor al Zubair port, according to initial assessments.

A second tanker at anchor off Kuwait was taking on water and spilling oil after a large explosion on its port side.

Nine vessels have come under attack since the conflict broke out between the U.S., Israel and Iran on Saturday. Iran launched a wave of missiles at Israel early on Thursday and also sent drones into Azerbaijan, injuring four people.

Hang on, bumpy ride ahead.
