The USS Abraham Lincoln has been in the Arabian Sea since January 26. The Gerald R. Ford transited Gibraltar on February 20. Thirteen Aegis destroyers, 600-plus Tomahawks in single-salvo capacity, 500 aircraft spread across bases from Jordan to Qatar—the largest American force concentration in the Middle East since 2003. Every analyst in Washington is writing […]
It appears that Iran, like Russia, just managed to get suckered into “diplomacy” that was never anything more than a means of buying time in order to permit the US military to move its pieces into position for a series of decapitation and incapacitation strikes. The rapid buildup of U.S. forces in the Middle East […]
III. The Enlightenment’s Rhetorical Strategy The Enlightenment’s thinkers were not, for the most part, fools. Many were genuinely intelligent, some were mathematically gifted, and a few made genuine contributions to human knowledge. But they were charlatans, and the movement as a whole succeeded through the effectiveness of its propaganda instead of the quality of the […]
How can we be at Super Bowl 60? It seems to me like we should be in the late 30s, maybe mid-40s at most. Anyhow, I expect the Seahawks to win easily. And good for Sam Darnold if they do. I like Mike Vrabel and I like this Patriots team, but they have had the […]
Clown World is a constant source of historical disinformation, when it isn’t outright fiction: Kaja Kallas, the de facto EU foreign minister already notorious for her chirpy incompetence, has done it again: displayed such elementary ignorance that you have to rub your eyes and double-check before you believe it’s true. But – as always with […]
That’s not rhetoric. That’s not an exaggeration. That’s exactly what has been happening for the last ten years in Minnesota, as it has been revealed that the largest source of funds for the Somali terrorist group Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer. The Somali fraud rings have sent huge sums in remittances, or money transfers, from […]
The first female Prime Minister of Japan has already managed to seriously put her foot in it with regards to the island of Taiwan. Japan will suffer a “crushing defeat” by the Chinese military if it tries to use force to intervene over Taiwan, China’s defense ministry said on Friday, ramping up the rhetoric over […]
The Italian media spiked this interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov for some reason: Corriere della Sera: Units of the Russian Armed Forces are currently controlling less territory than in 2022, several weeks into what you call a special military operation. If you are truly prevailing why can’t you deliver a decisive strike? Could […]
Actions have consequences. History does not repeat, but it rhymes. Insanity consists of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. New Yorkers elected their first socialist mayor Tuesday, handing far-left Democrat Zohran Mamdani a historic victory — as he claimed a mandate for his potentially budget-busting progressive agenda and all […]
I was wondering how long it would take before people began to realize that Australia is going to be a Chinese continent. A Chinese propagandist has sparked outrage after claiming the superpower should take control of Australia, in part due to its colonial past. The furore began when the China hawk, who goes by the […]
