LATE, BUT WELCOME: Defense industry’s major players gather in Pennsylvania as US weapon stockpiles hit new low.

President Trump himself will join a roundtable Wednesday as part of the two-day Pennsylvania Defense and Innovation Summit, hosted by Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.).

Keystone State companies produce thousands of parts along the US military’s supply chain, playing vital roles in producing ships, vehicles and weapons, according to a new report produced by logistics firm Exiger and shared exclusively with The Post Tuesday.

Pennsylvania-based defense organizations supply 113,000 parts, employ 190,000 people, and have received more than $263 billion in Department of War funding over the past two decades, the seventh-most among the 50 states.

Firms like Philadelphia-based Rhoads Industries and Howmet Aerospace in Pittsburgh produce a “substantial number of components that cannot be readily replaced,” the report found, adding that some 2,000 weapon systems rely on parts manufactured in Pennsylvania.

“Our report gives leaders convening at the US Army War College deep visibility into the Commonwealth’s supply chain and into the role it plays in the larger defense industrial base,” said Exiger CEO Brandon Daniels.

It was clear — at least to anyone who pays much attention to history — even before the full-scale Russo-Ukraine War, that the West simply didn’t stockpile enough munitions. The start of that war made it undeniable.

That was four and a half years ago, and we’ve only started coming out of denial.

NUKE IT FROM ORBIT, IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE: Killing Woke At West Point. “Like a cancer, the acceptance of both military personnel and civilian academics that are antithetical to ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ have infiltrated the Academy.”

MUSK HAD TO DELIVER A PRODUCT, NEWSOM HAD TO WET EVERYBODY’S BEAKS:

So…

Elon Musk: $10 billion private funding.

700 space launches.

Gavin Newsom: $16 billion taxpayer paid.

0 miles of train track.

Think about how crazy that is…

Private funding vs your hard earned tax. dollars

In no universe is that ok.

I tend to see this as a lefty issue, probably pushed by China as an issue to undermine American AI. But ironically, it mostly boosts Elon’s efforts for space data centers.

THE TOOLS OF DEBATE:  We’re all familiar with the Motte and Bailey. Nick Shackel described and named it in a 2005 paper entitled “The Vacuity of Postmodernist Methodology”. But did you know he also named four other rhetorical maneuvers? Let’s go through them!

X-cancel.

NO. JUST NO. GET THE GOVERNMENT OFF STUDENT LOANS NOW: Student Loan Update: GOP Bill Would Codify Major Change for Borrowers.

The government has no money of its own. Government creates no value. it should stop printing money to allow universities to jack their fees, their costs, their salaries, with the future of American youth as the bargaining paw. Government should get its nose out of everywhere not specified in the Constitution. Enough is enough.

THE GODS OF THE COPYBOOK HEADINGS LIMP UP TO EXPLAIN ONCE MORE:  The result of places like New York blocking data center construction will be that the data centers, and the economic development that accompanies them, will end up in states with better governments. New York’s population has been falling, and it will continue to do so; this trend is driven by the economic stagnation brought by bad legislation and bureaucratic mismanagement. People don’t like living in places with insanely high taxes and poor economic opportunities.

JIM TREACHER: Is Haley Stevens for Real?

That clip is going around today, and a bunch of meanies are already comparing her to Pat. You know, It’s Pat. You’re not sure if it’s a man or a woman. Or Matt Foley, the motivational speaker who “lives in a van down by the river!” She does sound like she’s in a Saturday Night Live sketch of some sort. Back when it was still funny.

She kinda reminds me of a grown-up Little Rascal. “Hey kids, let’s put on a show!” And no, I’m not old enough to remember the original Little Rascals from the ‘30s. I’m only old enough to remember the syndicated reruns in the ‘70s.

At least this woman isn’t Abdul El-Sayed, her opponent in the primary. I haven’t really talked about that guy much, but the more I learn about him, the less I like him.

Stevens supports Israel, and El-Sayed does not. Huh. Weird. The terrorist sympathizer isn’t a fan of the Jews. (And yes, I know not all Muslims sympathize with terrorists. Just the ones running for public office these days.)

So this lady is the establishment candidate, and he’s the commie terrorist candidate. If you made me pick one, I’m going with Stevens every time. At least she’s not a Jew-hating communist.

And she seems like she’d be fun to party with. Which candidate would you want to have a beer bong with?

Let’s let El-Sayed himself answer that question:

"Haley Stevens is a suit with a large AIPAC bank account" is a great way to dispel concerns that maybe just maybe you've got Jews on the brain, Abdul https://t.co/oXhT6FTBk6
