Absolutely deranged, bouncing wildly from THE WASHINGTON CAPITALS to NatSec to YIMBY to Judaism to US politics. I also take requests for song parodies about geopolitics, but do not take requests to stop.

I sure would like to see the Virginia General Assembly legalize balcony solar in 2026. Let people buy a $100 solar panel at Costco, plug it into an outlet on their porch, and make electricity. Germany does it. Utah does it. Virginia can do it too.

Elbridge Colby spent years shouting:
“Japan must be explicit about its Taiwan role!”
Japan: makes clearest statement in its history
China: furious
Trump administration:
enters monk-like vow of silence
That Nobel Prize for Strategic Self-Silencing?
Colby himself could present it.

beyond a certain point, every auth-leftist is materialist except for their list of the Bad Ethnicities Which Stopped Communism from Happening. if you are a ML, you also know Russian slurs for every non-Russian Eastern European ethnicity and the word "gusano."

Both sides of a conflict are calling each other evil and corrupt, rendering me, a humble journalist, helpless to discern the truth. Best I can do is let you know that both sides are in fact saying those things. Hope this helps

USA would be the leader in 5G right now with no one anywhere close to them, if they hadn’t denied a visa for one Chinese guy.
Instead he ended up working for China, and those devices are an actual serious threat to security

is it a good idea to
1) decide that a technology is militarily important,
2) deport as many people as you can who do it to your biggest rival for that technology,
and
3) also deport a bunch of other scientists who have nothing to do with it, but who now have a reason to be upset with you

Apparently every Chinese academic in any field of “interest” to the PLA is getting their visa rejected for, more or less, presumptively being a spy. My friend’s visa is denied because she studies “neuroscience.” What she actually studies is jaw pain - but ICE is flatly rejecting all appeals.

Lincoln was re-elected on a party platform saying "That foreign immigration, which in the past has added so much to the wealth, development of resources and increase of power to this nation, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy."
They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing.
This is who MAGA is now.

DOGE was not a failure. Its purpose was to use the completely fabricated claim of “efficiency” to irreparably annihilate vast amounts of federal government infrastructure, which it did instantly, violently, and in ways we will not see the full repair of in our lifetimes.
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.
