Still reading through the bizarre and unhinged new NSS- I remember when the rumours about early drafts started circulating, some commentators rushed to claim that it would probably just contain boilerplate business-as-usual fare, thanks to an apolitical natsec community.

In a country of 340 million people we could absolutely find a dozen bleached blonde ladies named Pam who killed someone, which proves that all bleached blonde Pams are vicious killers and should be expelled from the country. Someone should get on that.

The classic Goebbels approach. In the period 1934-38, Germans were subjected to relentless stories about grotesque crimes committed by Jews, Poles and gypsies, all part of a carefully orchestrated campaign of demonization. And in 2025, Jonathan Greenblatt and the ADL approve of this message.

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.
Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

Himes: It was exceedingly hard to watch. Even if you stipulate that it is a war, there is a very specific prohibition against killing individuals who have been removed from the fight. And there is no question that these individuals were removed from the fight.
