MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: Why Trump and Hegseth’s swagger leaves Washington’s ‘elite’ seething.

THE ENEMY WITHIN:

Let’s put a finer point on what is happening here — a pro-CCP activist network financed by a pro-CCP millionaire living in China is organizing U.S. protests in opposition to a war against a Chinese ally, and those protests are being touted by Chinese state-run media outlets. Fun! https://t.co/3vEE8zLWOg

ICYMI: Regime Change or Regime Compliance?

#JOURNALISM: The Post quoted Ermiya Fanaeian as a Howard PhD candidate with family in Iran. It did not mention her work for ‘Armed Queers Salt Lake City,’ which included a visit to the Cuban embassy in DC to celebrate the life of Fidel Castro.

HE’S ECHOING WHAT ALL THE IRANIAN BOTS ARE SAYING ON X:

Newsom is pushing a blood libel, claiming Israel bombed a school – even though it’s already been proven that it was a misfired Iranian rocket that hit it.

EVERYTHING IS ABSURD: The Air Force’s new ICBM is nearly ready to fly, but there’s nowhere to put it.

The $141 billion figure is already out of date, as the Air Force announced last year that it would need to construct new silos for the Sentinel missile. The original plan was to adapt existing Minuteman III silos for the new weapons, but engineers determined that it would take too long and cost too much to modify the aging Minuteman facilities.

Instead, the Air Force, in partnership with contractors and the US Army Corps of Engineers, will dig hundreds of new holes across Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Wyoming. The new silos will include 24 new forward launch centers, three centralized wing command centers, and more than 5,000 miles of fiber connections to wire it all together, military and industry officials said.

Sentinel, which had its official start in 2016, will be the largest US government civil works project since the completion of the interstate highway system, and is the most complex acquisition program the Air Force has ever undertaken, wrote Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi) and Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Nebraska) in a 2024 op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal.

Gen. Dale White, the Pentagon’s director of critical major weapons systems, said Wednesday the Defense Department plans to complete a “restructuring” of the Sentinel program by the end of the year. Only then will an updated budget be made public.

The military stopped constructing new missile silos in the late 1960s and hasn’t developed a new ICBM since the 1980s. It shows.

We used to do this kind of thing quickly and at a price we could afford with a much smaller economy.

HYPOCRISY: Flashback: Presidents Don’t Need Congressional Approval to Strike Dictators, Say … “Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi? You bet, although to be fair, she made this argument a little before Operation Epic Fury. Fifteen years before, to be accurate, when Barack Obama took the exact same action that Trump did this weekend.”

Leftist politics is a behavioral sink filled with misfits and misfires from affluent families.

That is its true class basis and why it has nothing coherent to say ideologically and no real policy agenda beyond purposeful chaos. https://t.co/bzN4fXo77B
