I find it so incredibly offensive that some musicians don’t even want to celebrate the 250 year birthday of the greatest country on earth. A lot of these people truly haven’t a clue what has been sacrificed for this country or how many Americans gave everything so they could live the lives they do today.

This nation was built and defended by generations willing to fight, bleed, and die for freedom, opportunity, and the ability to speak openly including the freedom to complain about America while benefiting from everything it provides.

Celebrating 250 years should not even be controversial. It’s about honoring the people who built this country, defended it, and kept it standing through every challenge thrown at it.

Loving your country is not a bad thing, no matter how hard some people try to manipulate and convince you otherwise. Pride in your nation, its people, and its sacrifices is something to be proud of and worth standing up for. Screw anyone trying to shame people for loving America.

It’s Friday. Another week gone, and another 40 million of your hard earned tax dollars were sent to the Taliban.

In fact government does this every week.

Pass the no Tax Dollars for Terrorist Act, and end this humiliation ritual.

The Berezovka mammoth was found frozen in permafrost in a position that tells an extraordinary story. Sitting on its haunches with both hips broken, it had food in its mouth and undigested material in its stomach that had never had time to putrefy. Scientific analysis concluded that the entire six ton carcass would have had to be frozen within approximately ten hours to prevent biological decomposition of the stomach contents from beginning.

The question that conclusion forces is one Randall states directly - how do you freeze a six ton mammoth in ten hours? Under any gradual or incremental climate change scenario the answer is that you simply do not. The Berezovka mammoth is physical evidence of a temperature drop so sudden and so catastrophic that a living animal was flash frozen mid-meal, food still in its mouth, before decomposition could begin. Both hips broken suggests it was thrown or fell violently before the freeze occurred. Something happened - and whatever it was, it happened with a speed that no conventional model of glacial climate change has ever been able to account for.

We’re living in a time where everything is being turned into sides, into enemies.

Every headline, every issue, every conversation gets twisted into outrage. Not because it matters, but because it keeps people angry, reactive, and divided. And too many people are feeding right into it.

We’ve created this culture where everyone is suddenly an expert on everything… and at the same time, understands nothing in detail. People will go to war in the comments, die on a hill for someone who wouldn’t give them a second thought, and defend narratives they’ve never truly understood or causes they’ve never actually worked on or fought for.

Meanwhile, the people who actually benefit from the chaos are sitting back, watching it unfold, fully aware of how easy it is to keep us distracted, and even worse, falsely entertained. Even serious discussions about real threats quickly devolve into name-calling, death threats, and the craziest of accusations.

Think about that.

We have real issues. Real threats. Real problems that require attention, awareness, and critical thinking. But instead of facing them, we bury everything under social media controversies and outrage cycles that solve absolutely nothing.

And placing blind faith in people, especially those who won’t be there when shit actually hits the fan, isn’t strength, it’s a vulnerability.

There are a lot of forces pulling people in different directions right now. Influence is everywhere, and not all of it has your best interests in mind. If you don’t stay grounded in who you are, if you don’t think for yourself, you’re just getting pulled along like everyone else.

We don’t all have to agree. That’s not the point.

But we should be able to think. To listen. To learn. To focus on what actually matters.

Because if we keep turning on each other over everything….we’re doing exactly what others want us to do.

And we can be better than that.

I’m frustrated by the resignation of the NCTC Director Kent at a moment when the threat environment demands steadiness, but first I wish him well.

These are difficult roles with real consequences, and transitions like this should not come at the expense of continuity in our counterterrorism posture. We have a serious problem, and we need a steady hand at the helm to confront it directly.

There are two larger issues that have been discussed around his resignation that cannot be ignored. First, Iran has been the primary state sponsor of terrorism for nearly 50 years. That is not a talking point, it is a foundational reality that has shaped the modern counterterrorism fight. Other actors matter, including al-Qaeda, ISIS, and the Muslim Brotherhood, but Iran has consistently been a central driver, a persistent threat, and a key force behind the scale of terrorism we face today.

Second, we cannot afford to rewrite the origins or evolution of conflicts like Syria. I watched how that war began in real-time, with foreign fighter returnees from jihadist battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan mobilizing others to join them in efforts to topple Bashar al-Assad. I saw fighters leaving places like Derna and Benghazi to join that fight.

These terrorists led the early phases of the war in Syria long before outside powers like U.S. or Israel developed strategies or showed meaningful concern. Groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS were not byproducts of the conflict, they were architects of it. They bear responsibility, and we should not obscure that.

In later years, as external powers became more involved, particularly Russia and the U.S., the focus drifted. Strategic competition began to overshadow core counterterrorism objectives. That shift created space for terrorist groups to adapt, regroup, and believe they could outlast us.

And in many ways, they have. Just months ago, more than 3,000 hardened ISIS fighters, some with prior ties to al-Qaeda and al-Nusrah Front, were freed from detention in Syria. Approximately half of those released in Syria have already showed up in Afghanistan saying they were ready to work with the Bin Laden sons in the next 25 year phase of al-Qaeda’s jihad on America. This is how it works they move to the next battlefield.

We cannot afford revisionist history when it comes to our terrorist enemies. These networks are patient, adaptive, and committed. They are not sleeping, they are planning, and many of those plans are aimed at our homeland.

The priority now is not narrative, it is readiness. We either confront this threat honestly, or we deal with the consequences later.

We don't need to ban Sharia; we need to ban Islam in its entirety.

[Sarah Adams @sarahadams]

I’ve been working terrorism issues since college, decades now, and I’ve never seen the level of terrorism sympathizing and outright Islamist rhetoric that exists right now in this country. Not even close.

Muslim friends of mine overseas are constantly messaging me telling me to stay away from this location or that location in my own backyard because they are hearing about plotting. This is separate from the massive homeland plotting being directed by Al-Qaeda.

Yet many people want to put counterterrorism in the rearview mirror as if the threat somehow disappeared. It didn’t. Not with more than 18,000 Islamist extremists currently on U.S. soil. Pretending the problem is over does not make it go away. It just guarantees we will stay unprepared in a fight that has never actually ended.

The days of burying our heads in the sand as a nation are over. We should not have to wait for the next 9/11 to fix a failing counterterrorism posture inside the United States. To be honest, the FBI has not been reformed in a way that meets the scale of the threat we face. What exists now is not good enough for the battles in front of us as a nation.

This is a watershed moment whether people recognize it yet or not. We have two decades of warfighters, intelligence professionals, and practitioners here in the United States who understand this enemy better than anyone. If the institutions responsible will not adapt, then it is time something changes. Because ignoring the threat will not stop it. It will only ensure the cost is far greater when reality finally catches up.

Hey Tony. Now that you’re in a truth telling mood and not lying anymore, and it was just a “lapse of judgement,” I had a question.

Was this the only affair you’ve had while in office?

Answer carefully.
