I do believe the proudest day of my life was when my son was allowed to call me from Afcrapistan on my birthday. He told me that the base raised the flag in my honor that day. Here he is, in the middle of a war driving that thing around to blow up IEDs, and he thought of honoring his Mom. Semper Fi.
This is Why You Should Never Trust a CNN (Or Any Mainstream Media) ‘Expert’ Analyst…About Anything.
CNN’s Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst John Miller:
What we’re told from law enforcement sources now is that the seized two firearms from this 24-year-old suspect [in the Brown University shooting]. One of those firearms, we are told, was equipped with a laser sight device.
This has significance because number one, that’s a fairly sophisticated device for a handgun where when you aim it, a red dot goes where you want to target, and if you fire at that point, the bullet goes where the dot is. It’s the kind of thing used mostly by professionals, tactical people, military people.
Are they now?

Senator John Kennedy reads an internal memo from the Minnesota Attorney General's office
They openly say they did not stop the Somalia immigrant fraud because Democrats would lose votes
“Here's what a fraud investigator in the Attorney General's office said. She said, There is a perception that I'm quoting now, that forcefully tackling this issue would cause political backlash from the Somali community, which is a core voting block for Democrats”
Seriously, how are Democrats not getting raided and thrown in prison
Yesterday, in Northchapel, our church doors opened to something truly special. The pews filled with dogs of every kind — young and old, pedigree and rescue — each one bringing its own story, its own quiet hope. As the carols rose, tails wagged, heads rested gently on laps, and for a moment the world felt softer, kinder.
It was a Christmas service unlike any other: singing woven with the sound of breathing and paws on stone, love made visible in every glance between human and dog. And then came the prayer for dogs — a prayer that caught in our throats and brought tears to our eyes.
We held onto a simple but powerful Christmas dream: that one day, every dog might know a life filled with happiness and peace; a life free from fear, abuse, hunger, and cold. A world where every dog is loved, safe, and home.
MAKE CHILE GREAT AGAIN! Kast Wins: Migration and Crime Fears Prod Chile to the Right in Presidential Vote. “Regionally, Kast’s triumph represents the latest rebuke of the left in Latin America after Javier Milei’s party won midterm elections in Argentina and Rodrigo Paz ended 20 years of socialist rule in Bolivia. It also gives US President Donald Trump another ally in a region that has increasingly tilted toward China in recent decades.”

Harry and Meghan. A Match Made in Hell. When Trauma Met Opportunity.
This is my take on the disastrous duo and how it all unravelled.
Harry was angry with the royal family for reasons that long predate Meghan. His resentment was already there. It grew out of unresolved grief over Diana, years of comparison with his brother, and a deep seated inferiority complex tied to being the spare. He internalised the idea that William was protected while he was expendable. Instead of working through that reality, he nursed it. Anger became easier than acceptance. Victimhood became easier than responsibility.
He also resented the structure itself. The monarchy rewards hierarchy, restraint and long term duty. Harry wanted the status without the discipline, the privilege without the limits. When he was told no, when his behaviour had consequences, he interpreted that not as structure but as rejection. Over time, grievance hardened into entitlement.
That is on Harry. He chose bitterness. He chose to externalise blame. He chose to attack rather than mature.
Meghan did not create his trauma, but she absolutely amplified it and she did so in the most destructive way possible. Instead of challenging his distorted thinking, she validated it. Instead of encouraging perspective, she reinforced paranoia. She did not help him process grief. She taught him to perform it.
Every unresolved wound was reframed as proof he was uniquely wronged. Every family boundary became cruelty. Every institutional limit became oppression. His anger was not calmed. It was affirmed, polished and weaponised. Therapy language was used not to heal but to moralise resentment and shut down accountability.
Crucially, Meghan benefited from this version of Harry. A healed Harry would have been steadier, quieter and far less useful. An angry Harry is loyal to the narrative, isolated from dissent and dependent on her interpretation of reality. That dynamic made everything worse. His anger deepened. His fixation intensified. His public behaviour deteriorated.
So this is not about excusing Harry by blaming Meghan. Harry is responsible for his choices. He chose to burn bridges, to attack his family, to expose private relationships and to live inside grievance. Meghan did not force that. But she did enable it, encourage it and profit from it.
Harry brought the rage. Meghan gave it a script, a platform and a business model. This was never a healing union. It was a convergence of unresolved rage and ruthless ambition. He wanted validation for his anger. She wanted a story that would never end. Together, they didn’t rise. They rotted. A match made in hell because hell thrives on grievance, isolation and blame and that is exactly what they chose to build.
