MID-2028, FER CRYIN’ OUT LOUD? Charlie Kirk’s Family ‘Deeply’ Disappointed by Tyler Robinson’s Trial Delay.

YES:

This is the truth.

This is not about Hegseth.

It's about cowing the men and women in uniform into not following lawful orders because they might wind up in Leavenworth.

This is an extension of the Seditious Six ploy.

“This is about co-opting the one American institution that has remained true to the Constitution: the U.S. military.”

As I keep saying, losing Hegseth would be a huge win for the Swamp — or worse.

SUCH A TERRIBLE DECISION:

On this day 84 years ago, the Supreme Court said Congress could regulate the wheat one man grew for himself bc if enough farmers did the same, they wouldn’t buy enough wheat. And thus the Commerce Clause was blown open. #JusticeForRoscoe (outside Filburn’s farmhouse) https://t.co/sjiGPycGQr pic.twitter.com/KByEwX4fMu

SPACE: ESCAPADE on its way to Mars after Earth flybys. “During both flybys, the Rocket Lab-built spacecraft fired their engines, using a principle called the Oberth effect to maximize the performance of the maneuver. It was the first time a NASA spacecraft used such a powered flyby to go to Mars.”

And that was after they spent almost a year hanging out at the Earth-Sun L-2 Lagrange point waiting for the right moment.

TRUMP’S IRAN WAR OVER? Or is it really.

HOW REPUBLICS FALL:

This is a phenomenon of late stage republics. It’s what happens when a society becomes so feminized and bureaucratized that it begins to fear the very qualities that once kept it alive.

More:

The process becomes the punishment. It’s what happens when a civilization mistakes restraint for virtue, aggression for evil, and procedural obedience for courage.

Eventually, the men who can’t wield the sword discover they can wield the law against those who do. And the cowards who would never stand before an enemy become the judges of those who must.

DISPATCHES FROM ALMĀNIYĀ: Islamists have Berlin’s politicians in their grip.

Elif Eralp, the Left Party’s candidate for mayor, won Berlin’s city state election in September. She is now in negotiations to form Berlin’s government. Yet despite her prospective power, she lives in fear of some of her own pro-Palestine supporters.

We know this thanks to a mistake by her press team. An interview transcript containing her internal annotations was accidentally sent to Der Spiegel, along with the authorised version. In the margins, Eralp reminded her staff that she had been advised against naming names in public, and noted that her husband, too, was afraid. ‘What do we do now? Cancel the whole interview?’, she wrote. ‘I should never have agreed to this interview.’

The question that so agitated her concerned Ibrahim Ibrahim, a well-known Palestinian activist who has organised many of Berlin’s anti-Israel demonstrations. He supports the PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine), whose members took part in the massacre of October 7, and which the EU has designated a terrorist organisation. He has also called former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar a ‘martyr-hero’. Yet none of this stopped Ibrahim from being filmed arm-in-arm with leading Left Party figures at their September election celebration.

Yes, but at least they’re helping keep those nasty right-wingers out of power.

NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL JUST-IN-TIME MANUFACTURING: LUCAS Drones To Be Built In Containerized Robotic Micro Factories Designed To Be Forward Deployed. “The award to Machina is the latest example of the Pentagon’s push to use containerized 3D printing and other advanced fabricating systems closer to the front lines to shorten supply chains that could get severely degraded in a major conflict. Decentralizing production of drones also allows units to be more flexible and tailor their own production to their specific needs at any given moment. For instance, a unit can produce variations of multiple designs that are best suited to an upcoming mission instead of having to use whatever they are shipped.”
