LOOK FOR TROUBLE, AND YOU’LL USUALLY FIND MORE THAN YOU WANTED:

From the replies: “Just a hospital nurse. Out running errands. Handsome guy too.”

CHRISTIAN TOTO: All Jimmy Kimmel Does Is Lie (And Cry). “He’s the King of the anti-Trump Resistance. Comedy? Laughs? Merriment? That’s no longer his prime directive, and it hasn’t been for some time.”

BOMBSHELL: Video Shows a Man Who Looks Like Alex Pretti Spitting at, Confronting Federal Agents. Not to mention “kicking the tail light of their vehicle on January 13:”

“If this video is verified as accurate, and more information comes forth, then it further cements the veracity of recent reporting that Alex Pretti was no peaceful protestor or innocent bystander. Pretti was an anti-ICE activist who sought confrontation and did what MN Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan encouraged: he put his body on the line.”

CHANGE, RAPID CHANGE: Ukraine And The Gamification Of Combat “The Russo-Ukrainian War continues to accelerate military innovation at a furious rate. The latest innovation isn’t a better drone or newer hardware, but introducing a fundamentally new organizing principle: the gamification of combat.”

It’s easier to get Ukraine’s side, but Russia’s drone program probably moves just as quickly, and has been used to serious effect against Ukraine logistics.

THIS IS AN AGE OF MIRACLE AND WONDER:

DETERRENCE: Contract to Expand B-21 Production Coming by March. “Yet details on what exactly the deal will entail remain scarce and are likely to remain shrouded in classification, if past B-21 contracts are any indication. The Air Force has declined to reveal any metrics for how much production will be expanded, and it is unclear if the long-term goal is to buy extra B-21s beyond the current program of record of 100 aircraft, or simply reach that baseline quantity faster.”

AN IMPORTANT REMINDER: Shooting vs. Fighting: The Reality Is, Bad Guys Have Guns Too…And Always Will. “A conversation regarding the current state of affairs in the United States, particularly in states and cities run by socialist Democrats, led a person I was talking to to respond that he had a gun and knew how to use it. To be fair, my friend, who will remain anonymous, does indeed own firearms. I also believe that he knows full well how to load them and then press the trigger to make them go bang. However, I also know that this same person never has time for training, having myriad excuses whenever the subject is brought up.”

A DUMB, OUTDATED SCAM:

Related: The Clock Ticks. “‘How scared of the future are left-leaning establishment type people?’ and ‘How much publicity does the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists need?’ The upward creep of the minute hand, even as the world has gotten objectively safer, suggests that the latter plays a big role: Bad news always sells better than good news.”

COLD: Pre-Oct. 7 Hamas memo quotes top Islamic Jihad official calling Gazans killed by misfired rockets ‘price of war.’

A memo from before the Hamas onslaught of October 7, 2023, reportedly captured by the IDF in Gaza, quotes a top Palestinian Islamic Jihad military official dismissing Hamas’s concerns that rockets launched by the terror group during a previous round of fighting in Gaza were falling short of Israel and landing inside the Strip, with deadly consequences for Gazans.

“We are in a war; even if a thousand are killed by friendly fire, that’s the price of war,” Akram al-Ajouri is quoted as saying in the document, parts of which were first published by the Kan public broadcaster this morning.

Days after the Hamas onslaught sparked the current war, a misfired Gazan rocket that Israel said was launched by Islamic Jihad landed in Gaza City’s al-Ahli Baptists’ Hospital, killing hundreds, with Hamas and many major news outlets initially placing the blame on Israel.

Hamas doesn’t see friendly fire as the price of war, but as an opportunity for anti-Israeli propaganda.

The Complicit Media generally plays along, too.
