WORTH READING:  Seven Myths About the Iran War. Why so many, on both the left and the right, keep getting Trump wrong.

PRECISELY THIS:  Stay Dangerous, Stay Good.

IT’S TRUE ALL OVER THE WORLD:  It’s true in Aussie land as well.

IT’S THAT THING THAT NEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENING AGAIN:  HOLY CRAP! Former Ft. Deposit, Alabama Mayor Jacqulyn Boone has been arrested for MAIL-IN BALLOT FRAUD, along with city council candidate Steven Thigpen.

LANGUAGE WARNING, BUT GO READ THIS:  I am bone-weary…fucking exhausted…of the black-pilling vermin slithering through our discourse like intellectual tapeworms, gorging on their own bile while the architect of American resurgence executes a masterclass in geopolitical vivisection that would make Machiavelli blush and Sun Tzu nod in grim approval.

SHE’S RIGHT, YOU KNOW:  They don’t play nice. They never have. They never will. This is the iron law of the Left’s permanent bureaucracy…the deep-state priesthood that has metastasized inside the CIA, FBI, DOJ, and every other alphabet fortress since the Wilson administration first dreamed of an administrative state unaccountable to the rabble.

CORRECT:  Casual reminder that you’re not a ‘cool kid’ for being a cynical, edgy asshole. The real counterculture now lies in hopemaxxing, optimism, and genuine love for your country. Bloomers will prevail over doomers.

HE DIDN’T DO IT BECAUSE HE DIDN’T WANT TO COMMIT SUICIDE: Dick Morris Confirms a Huge Rumor About Bill and Hillary Clinton. “Dick Morris has finally confirmed what many people have long suspected: Bill Clinton, while sitting in the Oval Office, seriously entertained the idea of divorcing Hillary — and he had his longtime political advisor run the polls to find out if he could survive it politically.”

Plus: “The whole arc of Hillary’s political career — the Senate seat in New York, the 2008 primary run, the secretary of State role, the 2016 presidential campaign — was all courtesy of a politically convenient marriage, which was merely a vehicle for her own quest for power.”

She was a once-attractive Yale Law woman — no small achievement that — who married well. Otherwise she would have been an ERISA partner in some big firm, disliked by the associates.

SO MUCH OF OUR ECONOMY IS BASED ON CHEATING TAXPAYERS:

*No more EBT for Soda or Candy*

*7-Eleven begins aggressively closing stores*

*Realize 7-Eleven was subsidized* https://t.co/2JGxbdXCVo pic.twitter.com/WMK3iZTcud

OPEN THREAD: Ring in the weekend.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: Landing astronauts on the moon ‘is absolutely doable, and it’s doable soon,’ NASA’s Artemis 2 commander says.

Well, we’ve done it before.

A FRIEND WRITES:

I am shocked at how the service academy pages and other military-directed sites are absolutely overrun by angry progressives.

I mean, is this just what they do now? “Like” pages just to vent incessantly?

I’m usually just scrolling cooking reels so apparently I’ve missed the real action online.
Mind numbing.

They’re super upset that we’re winning a war and not taking heavy casualties.

MY LATEST SUBSTACK ESSAY: The Future Belongs to Those Who Show Up.

BREAD HAS HAD THAT REPUTATION FOR A LONG TIME: Scientists Reveal Why Bread Can Cause Weight Gain Without Overeating. “This isn’t the first time nutritionists have talked about bread and carbohydrates and their contribution to weight gain, but there hasn’t been much detailed research into the relationship – especially wheat flour – or into what might be happening at a metabolic level. The team discovered that eating more wheat bread was associated with reduced energy expenditure, pushing the metabolism towards a state where fat storage is prioritized, even when the calories in a diet stay at a similar level.”

My half-assed hypothesis: Ancient humans mostly ate grains and tubers — high in carbs — when other food was scarcer. So your body interprets high carb intake as a sign of impending famine and starts packing on the reserves.

TRUMP SEEMS TO BE HAVING A BLAST WITH THIS STUFF, TOO:

I'm almost 100% this is what's happening.

One regime figure had a meltdown and then deleted his X account. Others are calling for Araghchi to be impeached.

Ghalibaf is calling all of Trump's posts lies.

Regimi twitter in absolute shambles. https://t.co/CHNOo6rfei

LOL, DAVID FRENCH:

She showed how French dishonestly claimed she was champion of political cruelty. How French could not rationally justify a vote for Kamala Harris.

And finally how French ignores heresy from Talarico because he’s… https://t.co/wqApjakIPY

GO FIGURE.

This is just like the Holocaust. I remember the vicious scene in Schindlers List when Ralph Fiennes gave Jews 3000$ and let them fly home.

WELL, WHEN YOU PUT IT THAT WAY…

Imagine watching the Deep State torpedo Eric Swalwell in less than 7 days, and still thinking there's a magical career-ending bombshell they've had on Trump but not released over the past 11 years.
