“THE ENTIRE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WAS LIKE A CHAPTER OUT OF ATLAS SHRUGGED:”

THIS IS CNN:

When you’re a Dem operative in a sea of Dem operatives, all you see are “political commentators” and “journalists.”

BEFORE THE EMASCULATION OF THE ACADEMY:

CIVIL RIGHTS REMINDER: Here’s a Quick Second Amendment History Lesson For Michigan’s Islamo-Socialist Senate Candidate, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed.

Muskets weren’t obsolete antiques when the Second Amendment was ratified. They were standard military firearms used by the armies of the day.

And the Founders didn’t merely tolerate private ownership of those weapons. Early federal law actually required eligible militiamen to furnish their own military-capable firearms and ammunition.

For Texas Gun Rights, that history underscores a fundamental constitutional principle: The Second Amendment was never intended to leave the government armed with weapons the American people were forbidden to possess.

It was written to protect an armed citizenry, including as a safeguard against government tyranny. Yet that founding principle remains at the center of a modern political battle over firearm bans, constitutional amendments, and the future of the Supreme Court.

The Brits gave up the last of their guns three decades ago, and it’s been one encroachment after another ever since.

IT’S OFFICIAL: Good Guys With Guns Save a Whole Lotta Lives. “More than one-third of “active shooter situations” in recent years were stopped by good guys with guns, according to a new study by the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) — completely blowing away the FBI’s official stats.”

IF YOU WANT PEACE…: The Nordics are preparing for war. “The border region’s economic decline and rapid militarization are emblematic of the entire Nordic region’s radically changed approach to relations with Russia and the United States. During the Cold War and to a lesser extent after it, Finland and Sweden managed relations with Moscow through a combination of pragmatic diplomacy, deterrence, and trade. Today, after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, both diplomacy and trade have been severely downgraded. These two Nordic nations, which touted an enlightened neutrality during the Cold War and maintained good relations with both the Soviet Union and the West, have recently joined Nato. Meanwhile, New Defense Cooperation Agreements (DCAs) signed with Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark, have given the US armed forces “unimpeded access” to 47 military bases across the region, some of them perilously close to the Russian border. Sweden and Finland are even weakening their long-standing taboo on nuclear weapons.”

THE NEW SPACE RACE:

More:

In exchange, SpaceX provides tracking observations from Stargaze, a network of sensors aboard its approximately 11,000 Starlink satellites.

The military data includes detailed estimates of orbital trajectories and potential collision risks, improving the ability to monitor objects that could threaten spacecraft.

The arrangement has raised concerns among competing space-surveillance companies about SpaceX gaining a privileged position in the market for orbital tracking services.

The Space Force says the data is controlled but unclassified, that access is restricted, and that it is pursuing similar exchanges with other commercial providers.

The agreement underscores how SpaceX’s rapidly expanding satellite infrastructure is becoming increasingly integrated with U.S. military space operations.

And that’s how Musk protects SpaceX from some vengeful future Democrat administration. Maybe.

STAY AT HOME ON ELECTION DAY IF YOU’RE SICK OF ALL THE WINNING: Trump’s Deportations Are Making America Safer.

The restoration of law and order in America is happening in large part because of President Donald Trump, in particular, his insistence that immigration laws be enforced and criminal illegal aliens be deported.

The administration should double and triple down on this message. America’s return to normalcy is contingent on making border security and deportations a top priority.

This much is undeniable: Trump’s deportations and focus on border security have run alongside a remarkable national drop in crime. To dismiss this as a mere coincidence is as absurd as when we were told there was no crime surge following the George Floyd riots and police defunding in 2020 and the explosion of border crossings during the Joe Biden presidency.

The media—always quick to reinforce whatever narrative Democrats and the Left choose to peddle—have mostly tried to wave away the connection between crime and immigration law enforcement.

Well, what else have they got?

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: El-Sayed Gives Obama a Chance to Work Out His Trump Daddy Issues. “Again, I’m a big fan of the Dems keeping President Trump front and center. That’s only good for people who were already going to vote for Democrats. The ORANGE MAN BAD scare tactics didn’t work at all for them in 2026, when Trump was on the ballot. The Democrats must be banking on them aging well.”

OH, CANADA: In a Major Shocker, the Woke Syrupeans of British Columbia Lurch Right.

This is a tough one to excerpt, involving a slender majority, a new election, and extreme overreach on absurd aboriginal land claims, so here’s the upshot: “The first conservative government elected since 1928 — no wonder the place is a shambles.”
