TIME TO BUILD SOME NEW FIREBOATS:

Fireboats to protect against a Chinese drone attack Pearl Harbor are against the CNO's budget religion because every new budget spending wedge is a threat to the F-35.

THEY SHOULD ALL BE DEAD:

Hamas leaders, on October 7th, 2023, celebrated in Qatar while watching Hamas massacre 1,200 Israelis.

2.5 years later, most of them are dead, Gaza is in ruins, Hamas is destroyed, and Israel is stronger than ever.

THE IVY EXILE: The Decline and Fall of the Information State (For Now).

In the waning weeks of his administration, Obama conspired with senior Democrats to kneecap the Trump administration before it even entered office, and Obama personally ordered a bogus intelligence community assessment to advance the false narrative that Trump was working for the Russians. That it wasn’t true didn’t mean that control of both the social and legacy media echo chambers couldn’t generate enough hype to make it feel true to many millions for many years. “Russiagate was not a tragedy but a crime against the country,” Siegel writes. “Disinformation was both the name of the crime and the means of covering it up, a weapon that doubled as a disguise … By conflating the anti-establishment politics of domestic populists with acts of war by foreign enemies, it justified turning tools of war against American citizens.”

And yet that effrontery sowed the seeds of the regime’s downfall. Supercharging paranoia and undermining Americans’ shared sense of reality ultimately only undermined elite technocrats’ credibility and legitimacy. The dirty tricks only ensured the populists’ return. Trump wasted no time smashing the centralized information apparatus when he returned to office, but the technological capacity for control advances day by day, along with the temptation to use it. Siegel leaves readers with a warning: “From the rubble of the old information state, the outline of a new one takes shape.”

Well, good.

WATCHING THE VEGAN SAUSAGE GET MADE: Public Health Officials Lied, Hypocrisy Ruled, Trust Died: Brutal X Thread Conor Friedersdorf Walked Into.

Conor Friedersdorf is a staff writer for The Atlantic. He’s very perplexed and came to X in hope of some answers. He got them although it is probably not what he expected.

A question for everyone: survey data suggests that by the end of the Covid-19 emergency trust in public health institutions had decreased significantly. If you are among the people who reacted that way, why specifically? I'm hoping for long, diverse, individualized answers.

THE MEDIA IS THE ENEMY:

It’s insane to think back on the 90s.

Hardly any foreigners. And Democrats would send in a tactical team if a little kid tried to come here illegally.

And boomer Democrats are so helpless against media programming that they don’t even remember it. https://t.co/5EuDeATJfX pic.twitter.com/mDUQ4Xoi34

“EVERYONE KNOWS THIS.” Ilhan Omar married her brother. “In February 2009, the future Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar married a man named Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. It was her first legal marriage. The marriage ceremony was conducted by a Christian ministesr. There is no dispute about these facts, which are recounted by the Post. All available evidence points to Elmi being Omar’s biological brother. No evidence points away from this fact.”

It’s also revealing that the savages are reduced to using First World creations like AI video to produce their propaganda from whatever basement they’re hiding in.

And maybe those fine universities aren’t so fine.
