It's not about Brown, or Caine, or other individuals. It's not about reforming DOD . What it's about, at DOD and DOJ and the FBI and the intelligence community, is breaking all institutional resistance to Trump, and ensuring as much as is possible personal fealty to Trump.

All politics is economics. If the Supreme Court Citizens United decision grants more political power to those with more money, then to defeat them, it is essential that we target the sources of their wealth. Yes, that means you should sell your Tesla and get off X. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Yep. Hit ‘em in the wallet.

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.

Regardless of whether you believe EVs are the future or not, un-developing infrastructure seems like an act of curious self-harm.

The shortest honeymoon in history.

Ukrainian Kamikaze Drone with a very unusual design. It uses TM-62 anti-tank mines as wheels

Pleading with people to understand exactly this:

Byline Times is facing major DDOS (malicious traffic-flooding) issues on our site apparently after this article went live... bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

The Gleichschaltung of the US military begins.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

A reminder… www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

It's lovely and windy today, which means lots of clean green electricity. Or does it? See all those purple dots in Scotland? Those are wind farms that we're turning off as of 8am… 🤔

So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising. He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.

Sieg Heils and drug addiction. Trying to find a modern compare…

Casually bringing this back… #OCanada 🍁

When Farage did it back in June, it was 'nauseating ahistorical drivel' but when Trump does it his 'statements are not intended to be historically accurate but to shock Europeans into action.'

The US withdrawing from the @ipcc.bsky.social meetings on climate change does not bode well. It signals broader federal disengagement from international & domestic climate research. It will be disastrous as the US is the highest climate polluter & the proverbial climate chickens come home to roost.

The US is in a dark, dark place. Those of us who said this was the direction of travel ahead of November 2024 were traduced and dismissed as cranks. Never wished I was a crank more

I’d like to think I’m the first person to get into a flame war with VPOTUS from the swimming pool of Woburn Center Parcs at half-term.

Quick Question: If you were on a Jury and the accused was someone charged with blatantly and publicly Shooting Dead a currently 'prominent' World Leader, - they would be 'not guilty', wouldn't they. So, not so much a question as a statement of fact, really, - sorry about that ...) 😉

I've never seen Prof Justin Bronk look so worried ... youtu.be/DCBEMTbUif0?...

lol. FAFO

“We’ll see you in court.” Gov. Janet Mills is a badass for this.

Dear President Trump. Fucking STAY THERE.
