If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

I am not boasting - just happy I am breezing through Ukrainian language learning as the similarities between it and Serbian are really amazing. I am sure it is really difficult for English speakers, not just new alphabet but the onslaught of so many cases and different verb endings #langsky

It shouldn’t be a question. If you’re asked it, the only answer should be, fuck off. But I guess you couldn’t stretch that to a Times op-ed.

I guess there will be no #DEI purges in NBA and NFL leagues? If not, why not? I mean they chased our Colin Copernick for giving the knee.

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

You can not read this without utter disbelief followed by rage and disgust at how far Trumpenko and his minions have become mouthpieces of Putin (no mention in the article) that they are trying to gaslight all members of UN into accepting Russia is injured party in the war in Ukraine #NATOisGone

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

think what grates most about Fraser Nelson's "a dramatic shift? of MY Overton window?" shtick is that those of us who kept talking about the Spectator's dangerous slide to the right were treated as hysterical, not able to see the humour in shock jocks, etc etc, when we were just clearly right!

I'm not having Fraser Nelson playing dumb on the rise of racism on the right after years spent printing Murray, Liddle, Taki and Shriver. I literally had a DM row with him years ago where I said this would happen.
