WHAT SHE SAID: FIFO (Fit in (or) F*ck Off):  I think the overarching idea that we have to respect the culture of our immigrants is a huge mistake that must be rectified. We must no longer respect the culture of our immigrants. They must respect OUR culture, or we send them back home.

OH, I VERY MUCH HOPE NOT A DONE DEAL:  ‘Not a done deal’: Democrats start to sweat over Virginia’s redistricting referendum.

It should be difficult and unpleasant to be the enemy of a world power.

THE DANGERS OF FAKE NAILS IN HOSPITALS. “”I like the creativity but as a physician… I despair when I see these talons on fashion and entertainment industry folks. Not healthy at all. Just pull up any study on synthetic nails in pubmed. Just imagine HRs in hospitals have given up on young RNs to abide by the no long-nail rules… these nails can cut through gloves and in one case recently caused a rectal tear in a patient. Just think, everyone does them, so how are you going to stop this?”

Everyone does this? Think about the demographics involved and you’ll understand why hospitals won’t crack down on this.

AOC SPENDS $19K IN CAMPAIGN CASH ON PSYCHIATRIST:

She’s trippin’.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spent nearly $19,000 in campaign cash last year on a shrink who specializes in controversial ketamine therapy.

The socialist lawmaker hired Boston-based Dr. Brian Boyle, the chief psychiatric officer at Stella, a chain of mental health clinics focusing on “novel” therapies popular with Hollywood and Wall Street.

Her campaign paid Boyle $11,550 in March 2025, another $2,800 in May, and $4,375 in October for a total of $18,725, Federal Election Commission records show.

The expenses were marked as “leadership training and consulting.”

I can’t fault anyone for attempting to bolster their mental health when the world is coming to an end in five years: Ocasio Cortez: ‘The World is Going to End In Twelve Years If We Don’t Address Climate Change.’

OUT ON A LIMB: A-10s are striking Iranian boats. Some say it’s a ‘wake-up call’ to stop the Warthog’s retirement.

A-10 Thunderbolt IIs are strafing boats in the Straits of Hormuz as part of President Trump’s war on Iran, and at least some experts say it shows why the venerable aircraft should remain in service.

“The A-10 Warthog is now in the fight across the southern flank and is hunting and killing fast-attack watercraft in the Straits of Hormuz,” Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said during a Pentagon press briefing on Thursday.

The Defense Department posted images of the A-10 flying in U.S. Central Command airspace this week. CENTCOM praised the Warthog’s capabilities, noting in an X post on Sunday that the aircraft “can loiter for hours, standing by and ready to execute a mission whenever needed.”

The close-support aircraft, battle-proven in the Gulf War and Global War on Terror, has been threatened with retirement for decades. Congress has often pushed back; the most recent National Defense Authorization Act caps the number that can be scrapped until the Air Force details its retirement strategy. Experts told Defense One that the aircraft’s latest operations prove the war in Iran shouldn’t be the Warthog’s last rodeo.

The A-10s renewed use in the Middle East should serve as a “wake-up call” for lawmakers and the military calling for its retirement, said Dan Grazier, a Stimson Center senior fellow and the director of the nonprofit’s national-security reform program.

“The longer the A-10 exists, the more impressed I am with that aircraft,” Grazier said. “It’s just proof positive that when you design a weapon system that is stripped down and all the decisions that were made in the course of its design were all made for matters of military effectiveness, you get a really effective aircraft.”

Speaking of being impressed by an aircraft, the late Steve Irwin sounds like a kid in a hobby shop as he admires the A-10:

CYBERATTACK ON IOWA BREATHALYZER COMPANY IMPACTS DEVICES IN 45 STATES:

A Des Moines-based breathalyzer test company is recovering after a cyberattack impacted drivers in 45 states, KCCI reports.

Intoxalock makes ignition devices that people use to start their vehicles after an OWI. People with the devices have to provide a breath sample to prove they have not been drinking before the car starts.

The company said many customers are locked out of their devices or that the device is giving misread calculations.

One state in particular is truly suffering:
