THAT’S BECAUSE IRAN ISN’T A THREAT TO HIS POLITICAL POSITION OR SELF-ESTEEM THE WAY TRUMP IS:

IN COMMON USAGE, “WAR CRIMES” IS JUST A TERM FOR THINGS THE UNITED STATES OR ISRAEL ARE DOING THAT ARE WORKING AGAINST OUR ENEMIES:

UGH.

It’s very important to defeat Trump, you see, because he’s an “authoritarian.”

BOB GRABOYES: Eating Jeff Bezos: Senator Elizabeth Warren proposes a wealth tax on “ultra-millionaires.” Note that in 1913, the federal income tax was sold as a tax on the richest of the rich in America.

It seems clear that the money collected by government on the pretense of helping people mostly goes to line the pockets of the connected. Get rid of the fraud and there will be plenty of money to do good. But the do-gooders are more about doing well than doing good.

THE GOAL OF LEFTIST MEDIA IS TO GIVE PEOPLE A FALSE PICTURE OF THE WORLD THROUGH REPETITION AND DRAMATIZATION:

PEOPLE HAVE BEEN POINTING OUT H1B ABUSE FOR YEARS:

Including me. “One of the most appealing targets would be the tech industry’s wage-suppressing hiring habits. Not only have tech giants like Apple and Google engaged in what a federal court called an “overarching conspiracy” to prevent wage competition, but Silicon Valley firms also abuse H-1B visas to bring in immigrant competition at lower wages, a practice that’s now spreading to other industries.”

I wrote this over a decade ago.

FEMINISM MEETS THE DRAFT: The Gender War Goes Out the Window When Real War Comes Through the Door.

“Men still don’t do enough housework!” The headlines shout it every few months like clockwork. Another viral study, another think piece, another round of finger-wagging at husbands who supposedly leave too many socks on the floor. I’m sorry, but it’s getting harder and harder for me to muster outrage over laundry when things like the Selective Service System is still at play, registering only men for a potential draft.

We live in a culture that demands “gender equality now!”—but only in the arenas where it benefits women. The moment real danger knocks, the script flips. Suddenly, biology, history, and cold necessity remind us that men and women are not interchangeable. And nowhere is that truth starker than when war arrives.

Look at Ukraine in 2022. A nation that had been marching toward progressive gender policies slammed the brakes the second Russian tanks rolled in. Every man aged 18 to 60 was barred from leaving the country. Wives, mothers, and daughters could flee to safety across the border; fathers, sons, and husbands had to stay behind to fight, die, or wait for the call-up. I tweeted that day in raw frustration: “I never want to hear anyone complaining about ‘manspreading’ ever again!” The replies were predictable—some cheered, some seethed—but the point landed. When the gender war meets real war, the gender war loses.

It isn’t ancient history. Right now, as tensions simmer across Europe and beyond, countries are quietly dusting off the same male-only expectations. Germany recently passed a sweeping Military Service Modernization Act. Starting in 2026, every young man born in 2008 or later must complete a mandatory questionnaire and medical screening for the Bundeswehr. Women may volunteer; men must register. Men aged 17 to 45 now need Bundeswehr approval for any trip abroad longer than three months. It’s not full conscription—yet—but the framework is there, and the message is unmistakable: when the homeland needs bodies on the front line, it looks to its sons first.

Always.

THANKS, FELLA!

ALL THE BEST PEOPLE HAVE ASSURED ME THAT WE MUST TRUST THE MACHINES IMPLICITLY:

LEFTISTS DON’T RECOGNIZE, OR HONOR, COMPETENCE. ONLY CREDENTIALS.

JUST REFUGEES, FLEEING PERSECUTION, TRYING TO MAKE A BETTER LIFE. NO LOVE FROM THE DEMOCRATS, THOUGH.

RIGHT?

THEY’RE LIKE AN ABUSIVE SPOUSE:

TO BE FAIR THEY’RE IN THE PROCESS OF AIRBRUSHING BIDEN OUT OF HISTORY:
