SMART DIPLOMACY:

Do you truly understand what Japan just gained? As a Japanese citizen, I’m telling you—this moment changed history.

Trump's Pearl Harbor joke wasn't an insult. It was the key that finally unlocked something buried deep in the Japanese soul.

For 80 long years, we've carried…

OKAY, THIS IS CUTE:  Men Only Want One Thing. And it’s disgusting.

SENDING ICE AGENTS INTO AIRPORTS? NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL NEGOTIATING FROM STRENGTH:  You’re Gonna Love Trump’s Ultimatum to Democrats on DHS Funding.

WHERE WAS THE STATE’S EXECUTIVE BRANCH IN POLICING THIS?  5 More Plead Guilty in $14.6M Feeding Our Future Fraud.

IF THIS IS A MODERATE HOW FAR OUT THERE ARE THE PARTY’S EXTREMISTS?  This Democrat Claims To Be Moderate, But Backs Huge Firearms Crackdowns on Law-Abiding Americans.

WHAT SHE SAID: FIFO (Fit in (or) F*ck Off):  I think the overarching idea that we have to respect the culture of our immigrants is a huge mistake that must be rectified. We must no longer respect the culture of our immigrants. They must respect OUR culture, or we send them back home.

IT’S ANATHEMA TO RATIONALITY ALSO:  Intersectionality Ideology “anathema to learning and education” – LIF to US Civil Rights Commission.

WELL, I’D BE VERY VERY SCARED:  Ohioans Now Hunting for Meteorites after St. Patrick’s Day Fireball.

GOOD THAT THEY WERE CAUGHT:  FBI raids Hollywood mansion in $17.4M alleged mortgage scam targeting seniors, 11 arrested including Iranian. The suspects are accused of stealing victims’ identities, taking out mortgages on their homes and pocketing the cash.

GOOD:  John Ripley, the Marine Who Blew Up the Dong Ha Bridge, to Receive the Medal of Honor.

OH, I VERY MUCH HOPE NOT A DONE DEAL:  ‘Not a done deal’: Democrats start to sweat over Virginia’s redistricting referendum. The unique nature of the April special election and the state’s recent redistricting history have presented challenges for Democrats, even as they hold a financial edge in the race.

THEY DESERVE IT:  NATO Slammed By Trump.

THE LEFT WILL NEVER ALLOW IT:  The Right To Be Let Alone. The most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men.

RELIGION, BUT WORTH PONDERING: I feel like there’s a big misconception among Christians that Jesus teaches us to “be nice to get along” people.

X-cancel.

IS IT WEATHER, OR CLIMATE? DEPENDS ON THE NARRATIVE.

On this date in 1907, it was 101° in Nebraska and 100° in Kansas. The weather has always been crazy. https://t.co/uXXQOQFH6d

WELL, GOOD: Newly Discovered Protein Could Rewrite How Scientists Treat High Cholesterol.

SO STOP:

In the aftermath of the 9/11 Islamist terrorist attacks, my former boss Margaret Thatcher wrote:

"We have harboured those who hated us, tolerated those who threatened us and indulged those who weakened us."

How right she was, and her words ring true today, especially in the UK. pic.twitter.com/z55LjOvwQQ

It should be difficult and unpleasant to be the enemy of a world power.

THE DANGERS OF FAKE NAILS IN HOSPITALS. “”I like the creativity but as a physician… I despair when I see these talons on fashion and entertainment industry folks. Not healthy at all. Just pull up any study on synthetic nails in pubmed. Just imagine HRs in hospitals have given up on young RNs to abide by the no long-nail rules… these nails can cut through gloves and in one case recently caused a rectal tear in a patient. Just think, everyone does them, so how are you going to stop this?”

Everyone does this? Think about the demographics involved and you’ll understand why hospitals won’t crack down on this.

AOC SPENDS $19K IN CAMPAIGN CASH ON PSYCHIATRIST:

She’s trippin’.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spent nearly $19,000 in campaign cash last year on a shrink who specializes in controversial ketamine therapy.

The socialist lawmaker hired Boston-based Dr. Brian Boyle, the chief psychiatric officer at Stella, a chain of mental health clinics focusing on “novel” therapies popular with Hollywood and Wall Street.

Her campaign paid Boyle $11,550 in March 2025, another $2,800 in May, and $4,375 in October for a total of $18,725, Federal Election Commission records show.

The expenses were marked as “leadership training and consulting.”

I can’t fault anyone for attempting to bolster their mental health when the world is coming to an end in five years: Ocasio Cortez: ‘The World is Going to End In Twelve Years If We Don’t Address Climate Change.’
