…but the Ripley Method might be a bit too extreme for some.
KURT SCHLICHTER: Trump Has Reset the Strategic Chessboard and People Are Blackpilling?
The Chinese were going to take over the Panama Canal. That’s not happening. Remember Venezuela and all the trouble it was causing? Maduro is gone. The interim authorities cut a deal, and we’ve got governance rights, a stake, and guaranteed offtake on fields holding about 65 billion barrels, on top of our own roughly 46 billion. That is a huge chunk of the world’s known supply. It is preferential access to a huge heavy-crude reserve China wanted, in our hemisphere, at production cost.
And look at the rest of Central and South America. USAID has been shut down. We’re not subsidizing leftists anymore. Right-wing government after right-wing government is taking over; the next likely to be in Brazil after the October 25 runoff, where Flávio Bolsonaro already led Lula in the first round. Sure, a few holdouts remain, like Cuba and Nicaragua. Well, go short on Cuba. If you think Marco Rubio is going to let those commie bastards live past the Trump administration’s sell-by date, you’re hallucinating. And as Cuba goes, so does Cuba’s commie Mini-Me, Nicaragua. When it collapses, look for the domestic fallout as the contacts and collaboration with senior Democrats get exposed.
Remember the stuff about Greenland? Everyone had a big laugh. The only people laughing now are the ones who are stupid or who think you’re stupid. Trump’s hard-nosed negotiations produced a deal with Denmark and Greenland that, once their parliaments ratify it, gives the United States broad military access and a veto on adversary bases and commercial exploitation. We will have a free military hand in the key terrain at the top of the world. Greenland is full of resources, and it sits on the path missiles would take to hit the United States from much of the rest of the world. By dominating that approach — and we’re going to dominate it — the American homeland’s security has been massively enhanced.
With the Americas secured, we can look out toward the main threat.

LET’S NOT GO ON ABOUT WHO KILLED WHO. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A HAPPY OCCASION!

FROM NATHAN BRINDLE: I’m the Beautiful But Evil Space Princess Who Rules A Galactic Empire But Really Wants To Leave People Ruthlessly Alone!: Volume .
Imperial Princess Regnant Alice has lately discovered herself to be with child.
This doesn’t stop her usual grind of duties, of which she has also discovered quite the backlog since returning from her honeymoon with Prince Daniel. With the help of both Daniel and her private secretary Lady Candace, and of course that of her loyal maids, the Princess Regnant powers through audiences and public appearances and even the unending round of lavish soirées thrown by the rich and noble of Capital.
As always, though, her life is bound to have problems tossed into it…much like grenades. An ancient frigate appears in Capital space, from a sector a hundred thousand light years away, normally a 12-year one way trip. Of course they bring news of a problem. But their means of arrival may also spark the biggest war seen in the Galaxy since the Wars of the Dispersal…
The fifth volume of the BBESP light novel!
THAT MAKES AT LEAST TWO OF US: The Botched Death Penalty Inmate Woke Up. We Know What Her First Words Were. “I think she is angry and confused about everything right now.”
VIRGINIA SLIMS TOLD WOMEN THAT RISKING LUNG CANCER WAS FEMINISM; THAT STARTED A TREND:
When you realize that most of “female empowerment!” is actually big business in many ways, then the escalating gender war starts to make more sense. https://t.co/zPcmtkEWXy

THIS YEAR AND IN TWO YEARS AND IN TWO YEARS AGAIN: Vote Red — Or America’s Dead: It’s your year to save this country.
I wish we had a sane democratic party. But we don’t.
BUT IS THAT BECAUSE THE CODING IS MORE ACCURATE? Blue Cross Blue Shield Assoc. Says AI Coding Tools Increased Costs by Nearly $1 Billion.
IT APPEARS THE ANGLICANS ARE ON THE WAR PATH AGAIN! Minnesota: FBI Arrests Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud for Allegedly Plotting ISIS Attack at Mall of America.
THREE YEARS AGO, THE WORLD BROKE. I WISH IT WEREN’T SO: The Horror.
IN ADDITION, YERSINIA PESTIS IS ENDEMIC IN THE MOUNTAIN WEST AND IT’S CURABLE WITH ANTIBIOTICS: Why you don’t need to worry about the Russian plague accident (if in fact there was a Russian plague accident). Public health ninnies and a reporter promoting a book (beware reporters promoting books!), are taking advantage of an information vacuum to spin up scare stories on X. Please don’t fall for them.
THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING IN FRANCE, THIS IS AN URGENT CONCERN: Securing The Nukes.
HAS GOVERNOR NOISOME CONSIDERED BUILDING A WALL? Billionaires are fleeing California. The tax agency is preparing to chase them. “If I were still controller, I’d have the Franchise Tax Board in a war room right now trying to figure this out,” a former state controller told POLITICO.
Yeah, yeah, I know, don’t give him ideas. It’s not like he knows history.
THE RE-INDUSTRIALIZATION OF AMERICA IS A NATIONAL SECURITY MATTER: China’s Sneak Attack on the Battery American Taxpayers Paid For.
I’M NOT CONVINCED RUSSIA — EVEN WHEN PUPPETTING THE SOVIET UNION — WAS EVER UP TO IT: The Search for Relevance.
Putin dreams of himself as a new Napoleon, but one who succeeds in uniting Europe. Not just regaining the old territory of the Soviet Union but going beyond that, to fulfil Stalin’s dreams of all of Europe, and eventually, all of the world I am sure. The trouble is, he ain’t up to it, and neither is Russia. Let’s talk about it.
THE NEOLITHIC BARBARIANS CAN STILL ANSWER; THAT’S A MISS: Hamas’ Miscalculation – 3 Year Progress Report. So how’s it going for you guys in Gaza?
A lot of woolly headed sorts in the west think that Israel’s response to having thousands of its citizens murdered and raped has been inappropriate. They may be surprised to learn that I agree, but probably not in a way they consider acceptable.
I think Israel has been inappropriately nice to Hamass and has not killed enough Gazans.
And obviously so do I. Go read the whole thing.
ONLY IN POLITICS WOULD THIS BE NEWS: Angela Paxton Endorses Ken Paxton.
Now, please, in the name of all that’s holy, if you’re in TX vote for the guy in the messy divorce, not the humunculus.
WHICH IS GOING TO CASCADE ALL SORTS OF OTHER EFFECTS: ESR on the end of software secrecy.
WELL, BYE:
