LONG, BUT FIND THE TIME TO READ IT: A Week In The Pentagon – Chaos, Complexity and Hope.
December 15, 2025
I’VE BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE 10/7. THEY’RE AT LEAST GOING TO TRY: This is What is Coming, for America and the World. Guest Author “Chaya’s Clan” lays it out for us.
THEY CAN ONLY COME IF THEY FIFO: Yearning to Breathe Free?
FIFO – Fit In (or) F–k Off. And trust me on this, as someone who acculturated, this prohibits vast mass immigration (it sort of worked in the past. Sort of. But it takes a minimum of 3 generations), it prohibits salad bowl multiculturalist nonsense, and it disqualifies 90% of what we’ve been getting. Note even the left uses “migrant” not “immigrant.” Because they know these are people who move around and have no national loyalties. At least not to us. And that’s just not acceptable.
SAFETY IS ONLY POSSIBLE — TO THE EXTENT IT’S POSSIBLE — IN THE FIRST PERSON: As in, I keep myself safe. When I became a man, I put away childish things.
EVEN IF YOU’RE CATHOLIC, BE VERY CAREFUL TO WHOM YOU DONATE: Timothy Burns: Dear Catholic Relief Services.
Over two thousand years, the church has accumulated a heck of a Deep State. And frankly, a lot of it is because the priests come from good universities and are naive to the fingertips.
A MINIMUM DEGREE OF NATIONALISM IS NEEDED, I THINK AS PROPHYLACTIC AGAINST CULTURAL DISSOLUTION AND OIKOPHOBIA: Nationalism- Left or Right? Is Nationalism inherently a bad thing? More specifically, does it fall on the left or the right side of the political spectrum? The answer may surprise you.
THEY ABSOLUTELY SHOULD: Sanctions Should be Imposed.
REFORMING YOURSELF IS FINE. REFORMING OTHERS ALWAYS RUNS INTO TROUBLE: The Second Great Awakening, Temperance, and The Reforming Urge.
Or as a friend reminds me (not about alcohol) “you can’t recover for someone else.”

EUTHANIZE THE INTIFADA: I like this slogan.

REPORT: Rob Reiner and Wife Michele Found Dead At L.A. Home; Wounds Consistent With A Knife.
UPDATE: Rob Reiner and Wife Found Dead as LAPD Investigates ‘Apparent Homicide.’
ANOTHER UPDATE (FROM GLENN):
Conservatives really are built different.
Even those who sharply disagree with Rob Reiner's politics are overwhelmingly sending prayers and hoping he's okay amid this tragic news from his home—no gloating, just humanity.
Compare that to the outright celebrations and vile wishes…

UPDATE (From Ed): People magazine are reporting that “Reiner and His Wife Michele Were Killed by Their Son (Exclusive Sources).” “In a 2016 interview with PEOPLE, Nick spoke about his years-long struggle with drug addiction, which began in his early teens and eventually left him living on the streets. He said he cycled in and out of rehab beginning around age 15, but as his addiction escalated, he drifted farther from home and spent significant stretches homeless in multiple states.”
SEE KURT SCHLICHTER’S THE ATTACK:
They're testing Western defenses and resolve to prepare for something bigger and very coordinated. https://t.co/uPgVYr8qOm

OPEN THREAD: Ring out the weekend.
CATS AND DOGS, DINING TOGETHER:

IT WAS PROBABLY A SPY FLYBY: Spacecraft from Chinese launch nearly slammed into Starlink satellite, SpaceX says.
QUESTION: If, as Ed notes, the Intifada has been globalized, doesn’t that mean that it’s been, well, globalized on both sides? If it’s a global Intifada, then isn’t a mosque or Islamic “charity” that, say, provided the guns to the Bondi shooters a legit target for droning? If not, why not? Can you have a global war in only one direction?
UPDATE (From Ed):
“Globalize the intifada” means “kill Jews wherever you find them.” What did you think it means? https://t.co/njS2oYf0HD

ANOTHER UPDATE (FROM GLENN): A friend writes: “I’d say Bondi is exactly what globalize the intifada looks like. Murdering Jews wherever they find them. And every leftie with a keffiyeh should be made to know it.”
Yep. Make them own it.
“This is not a time to mince words. Moral clarity is our sole duty on this dark day. What happened in Bondi in Sydney was an act of fascist barbarism. It was a pogrom on a beach. It was a massacre of Jews that brought to mind the horrors of the mid-20th century. If this pitiless…

LOOK, TIMES ARE STILL TOUGH FOR MOST PEOPLE: But these people need heat. I don’t know why they don’t say it in the description, but their heat quit, and they’re at rock bottom and working as hard as they can. (And they’re decent people.) Help the Gregorys with home repairs!
ELIZABETH PRICE FOLEY: Disparate-Impact Theory Is Unconstitutional: It purports to combat discrimination but in practice ends up encouraging it. As it was always intended to.
ONE DELIBERATELY CREATED:
Jews can’t enjoy Hanukkah peacefully.⁰
Christians can’t enjoy Christmas peacefully.What kind of dark world are we heading into?

UPDATE:
Labor couldn't listen to Israel because the warnings falsified a key tenet of progressive faith: the white man is always the villain and the noble savage is always noble. If that's not true then what else is a lie?

Being progressive is like realizing that you swallowed the wrong pills from the cabinet and in a short time you'll OD. Do you call 911 or try to tough it out so you don't admit to being a fool?
