IT’S BEEN ONE FOR A WHILE: Migration As A Weapon. “The Russian and Belarusian intelligence services are facilitating an elaborate scheme to illegally funnel migrants from the Middle East and Africa across the border into Latvia and other NATO and European Union countries, Latvian officials said.”

TEN YEARS AGO: Boeing CEO vows to beat Musk to Mars.
JOE BIDEN WAS PRESIDENT IN 2024, AND CORNELL IS A FAR-LEFT INSTITUTION. SO, NATURALLY: Right on cue, left-wing media blame the Cornell rape case on Trump.
THE NEW YORK TIMES RUNS A STORY ABOUT NUCLEAR REACTORS ON THE MOON, and the first quote is, natch, from an anti-nuke group.
David Mastio has the rest of the story.
ST. PAUL ON MARRIAGE:
1 Corinthians 7:3-5. The apostle Paul specifically commands husbands and wives to come together. I see comments that marriage doesn’t entitle to sex. That is dead wrong, most certainly wrongheaded.

The New York Times? Yeah I'm not even the least bit surprised. When that paper doesn't have a terrorist or a Communist to valorize it has no idea what to do with itself. https://t.co/LDKhkMXVWK

SOUND IT OUT: Musk says he will rename SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI. “SpaceX CEO Elon Musk posted on Sunday that he would rename the company’s AI unit to SpaceXSI, following US President Donald Trump’s push to use the term ‘super intelligence’ instead of ‘artificial intelligence.'”
Either that or he’s just bringing the sexy back. Again.
Musk is, after all, the man who brought us a car lineup named S, 3, X, Y.

NICE WORK, FELLAS: U.S. Troops Help Capture Narcos In Ecuador. “The drug war has long been thought to be unwinnable, but Democrats also swore up and down that the border was unsecurable as well. Here, as in so many areas, the Trump Administration refuses to be bound by conventional wisdom. CJNG has American blood on its hands, and the U.S. has been partnering with Ecuador to fight the drug trade since 2025.”

Correct. "Populist left" is a misnomer; the only thing that makes them "populist" is that they're anti-NATO and anti-Israel.
It's always dangerous when the dissident right talks about allying with them. They're trading a fake perception of foreign control (Israel) for a very…

But, yeah, that’s the end game.
YOU GO, GIRL: More Than the ‘Assault Weapons’ SCOTUS Case, THIS is What Terrifies the Gun Control Industry Most of All.
“In recent years, women made up almost half of all new gun owners, a striking shift from the historical norm, when women accounted for about 24 percent of gun owners,” Rosanna Smart and Andrew R. Morral of the RAND Corporation recently wrote. “After more than a decade of stable gun ownership, women’s ownership rose starkly between 2018 and 2021, going from 10 percent of adult women owning guns in 2018 to 15 percent in 2021, then up again slightly to 16 percent by 2024.”
They add that the big surge in women’s gun ownership has occurred since 2018 and, almost without exception, is seen across the board without regard to race, age, income, party identification, or education. Men, too, have bought guns amidst record firearms sales boosted by the chaos of 2020, though not to the same transformative extent as women. As broad demand for the means of self-defense has put the lie to the already overstated argument that gun ownership was a passing fixation of rural white men, women have rushed to take advantage of the empowering technology.
Firearms are the great equalizer.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: It Feels Like It Should Be Easier to Defeat Abdul El-Sayed. “What the heck is going on here in Michigan? I’ve been here for over seven weeks this time, most of it spent in Ann Arbor, which is the off-the-deep-end leftist crazy zone in the state. I knew that Abdul El-Sayed fever would be strong here. Indeed, the place is polluted with ‘Sayed’ yard signs. I don’t know why they have dropped the ‘El’ for the signs. Just noticing that probably makes me Islamophobic or something.”
NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG: Russian lab worker dies of suspected plague as 200 enter medical observation. One hopes they’re being dosed with Cipro, or better yet Levaquin. One fears that Putin has reopened Soviet biowar labs, and the strain in question was modified to be antibiotic-resistant.
