SO JUST LIKE THE LAST DEMOCRAT ADMINISTRATION, BUT MORE FLAGRANT:

WE KNOW WHAT IT SAYS; THE FUN IS IN WATCHING THEM STRUGGLE TO SAY IT:

THEY ENJOY SOMETHING OF A REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE ADVANTAGE: Ukrainian Drones Outmatch US Army in Exercise.

Ukrainian troops from the battle-tested 412th Regiment of Unmanned Systems Forces, known as Nemesis, effectively eliminated a U.S. armored brigade during the Combined Resolve exercise in April and May. Roughly 3,500 American personnel, primarily from the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, participated.

Ukrainian reconnaissance drones quickly located American armored vehicles, whose movement kicked up dust and made them visible from above.

Explosive-dropping and first-person-view, or FPV, drones then moved in.

The Ukrainians were registering simulated kills so rapidly that American vehicles had to be returned to the battlefield, or “re-spawned,” to keep the exercise running, according to the Journal.

The Americans adapted during the two-week engagement, improving their use of dispersion, concealment, and electronic warfare.

Ukrainian operators eventually switched sides and helped U.S. forces employ drones offensively, where the Americans performed more effectively.

This is why we train — and in this case, we got to train with the best.

VICTORIA TAFT: The Left Is Coming for Your County Sheriff. “The left’s favorite billionaire oligarch, George Soros, has poured money into the campaigns for secretary of state and district attorney candidates over the years in an effort to place anti-law enforcement and anti-incarceration activists in control of elections and law and order—the very foundations of civil society. Now, the left is coming for your county sheriff—the last local law man or woman elected to office by the people.”

THAT RIGHT THERE IS THE ONLY REASON:

Well, that and the money-laundering.

SPLC’S DEMAND FOR RACISM FAR OUTSTRIPPED THE SUPPLY:

BILL GERTZ: General says China space weapons threat a major challenge.

Gen. Stephen N. Whiting, commander of the Colorado-based Space Command, said the space weapons deployed by China and Russia are “in some ways getting harder to fight.”

“We operate in a domain in which our opponents have built a suite of counterspace capabilities to hold our satellites at risk in all orbital regimes,” Gen. Whiting told the Space & Missile Defense Symposium in Alabama.

The four-star general singled out the Chinese Communist Party for what he called its “breathtaking pace of space and counterspace” weapons development.

Asked the most significant issue he faces as a commander, Gen. Whiting said: “I think the ongoing greatest challenge is just the speed at which China is moving to rapidly improve their space capabilities and the threat that that potentially poses.”

People’s Liberation Army space weapons now include a “robust suite” of arms and capabilities that can blind and deafen U.S. military forces by disrupting and destroying satellites, he said.

“These include direct descent [anti-satellite] missiles, ground-based lasers, jammers and maneuverable co-orbital ASATs and dual-use satellites like the SJ-21,” he said.

What the U.S. has — in SpaceX — is unmatched lift and satellite-manufacturing capacity. What nobody has yet is the means to deal with a possible Kessler syndrome resulting from orbital warfare.

IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO COME DOWN TO MURDERING JEWS:

Slightly off-topic, but this came to mind.

More than 30 years ago, Ralph Peters wrote in the afterword to The War in 2020: “The destruction of Israel in a nuclear exchange, for example, will be less likely to trigger Islamic unity than to utterly dissolve it. Unable to direct their frustrations at the Zionist devil, the Islamic nations of the Eurasian landmass would quickly rediscover the holy and delectable mission of slaughtering each other over trivia.”

SCENES FROM THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE:

COLONIALISM, STRAIGHT UP:

“SPEND LESS THAN YOU MAKE” STILL SEEMS TO WORK EVERYWHERE IT’S TRIED:

Admittedly, things would be easier for the rest of us if Washington would try it again.

MAGA: BofA to plow $250 billion into critical infrastructure projects. “The investment is intended for projects including data centers and compute power, renewable-power generation, energy storage, natural gas, electricity transmission and critical minerals and mining. The goal is to support energy security, job growth and economic competitiveness, the bank said in a statement Wednesday.”

Unlike under the previous administration, there seems to be very little money directed at making our highways less racist.

THE NEEDS OF THE PARTY ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, COMRADE:

I REMAIN STEADFAST AGAINST RODENT URINE: ‘Rodent Urine’ & Other Unsanitary Conditions Spark MAJOR Recall Across Multiple Food Brands.

A major recall spanning hundreds of products across multiple industries is raising eyebrows (and clearing pantries) across several states. Gold Star Distribution, Inc. has recalled numerous grocery items, canned goods, medications, and other products due to unsanitary conditions at its Minneapolis storage facility. According to the recall, the FDA found “the presence of rodent excreta, rodent urine, and bird droppings in areas where medical devices, drugs, human food, pet food, and cosmetic products were held.”

As you can probably imagine, that’s a serious health risk.

The facility distributed recalled products to 50 stores across three states: Indiana, Minnesota, and North Dakota. “Exposure to contaminated products can pose serious health risks to consumers, including the potential for bacterial contamination, which may result in illness or infection, including Salmonella,” the recall states. And contamination from rodent droppings isn’t just gross—it can make people sick even from contact with packaging.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: I’m Going to Miss Karoline Leavitt Kneecapping the Press Hacks. “Many conservatives of a certain age have a soft spot for the late Tony Snow, and that’s understandable. I think that what sets Leavitt apart is that the Dems’ flying monkeys in the mainstream media she’s had to face have been some of the worst of all time. It’s not just that, though. What has been most enjoyable about Leavitt’s tenure is the obvious delight she takes in correcting the biased, agenda-driven propagandists in the press room.”
