A US warship in the middle of a Chinese desert? Some things have to be seen to be believed and @willripleyCNN shows just that in his new report:

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

Communists use video from a privately-run park with private security paid for by private vendors and claim it as a victory of socialists. I can’t tell if they’re really this dumb, or they just think you are.

[InfantryDort @infantrydort]

I think civilization is worth preserving.

I think merit should outrank favoritism.

I think children deserve protection.

I think nations deserve borders.

If that makes me “partisan,” the problem isn’t me.

An idea does not become partisan simply because a politician adopts it.

Some principles existed before parties.

They will exist long after them.

Understand what time it is.

Remember.

[Niall Ferguson @nfergus]

This isn't surprising to me, but it's almost certainly much worse than most people think, especially if they graduated from university 20 more more years ago.

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

Did the UK stop making men like this, or did the UK government decide they should be shunned, silenced and devalued?

[NOVA Campaigns @NoVA_Campaigns]

Northern Virginia police following DC Metro police and encrypting their radios, thereby hiding real time police activity from the public. Flock cameras on you, but encryption and FOIA protections for them.

And yes, it’s 💯 Dem-controlled politicians allowing police to go dark

@JadeScire @TheStalwart They certainly weren’t conservatives

[John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad]

I was among the first, possibly the first, to call Mamdani a communist threat that would end with flames, back when Bloomberg gave him a friendly platform on @TheStalwart’s otherwise excellent podcast early last summer.

Why? Because I grew up in the Bronx while the borough burned. My father and grandfather were both FDNY officers.

And as I have documented, those fires were not an accident of poverty. They were the product of socialist mayors, the flight of capital from the city (the vast majority of major corporations moved to Westchester and NJ), and the deliberate undermining of FDNY arson investigators by NYPD unions with deep ties to the Democrat party machine.

Mamdani doesn’t need to light a match for more churches to butn.

He only needs to make the arson investigators’ lives difficult, and there are a hundred ways to do that: replace them with incompetent DEI hires, cut their budget, bury them in paperwork, move authority to another agency, offer retirement payouts, reassign the good ones until the unit is hollow.

It’s all happened before people. Go read any book or watch any documentary about the Bronx in the 80’s.

To be clear: I have no evidence he is undermining the FDNY today. I haven’t researched it.

What I am saying is this: unless someone like @HarmeetKDhillon, who is excellent, designates these fires as hate crimes and floods the city with federal arson investigators, the odds this continues are high.

But, last I checked, the FBI doesn’t investigate arson. It outsources that to an underfunded team at ATF. And we all know how well ATF performs.

So I’m not holding my breath.

P.S. Or we could just send the National Guard. They alone don’t have the authority without the governor’s permission but it’s all part of America’s most important port and the USCG has full authority to protect, investigate and request support from NG and military assets to perform law enforcement operations to secure the city.

[End Wokeness @EndWokeness]

BREAKING: South Bushwick Church in NYC just burned down. 173 years old. Cause not known.

[John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad]

@aprinceamongmen @TheStalwart You mean the group that funded the socialist mayor’s campaign?

[John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad]

@andrewPH111 I’ve heard the name but never met him

[John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad]

Ohh man, instant follow.

Nobody shoots straighter and takes less sh!t from anyone than an NYPD cop with 20 years on the job.

Well except maybe his daughter. 2x if dad took a grenade in Nam & wore a Purple Heart. 5x if she’s an Iraq War vet herself. 10x when your own dad was FDNY. 20x if you post something that pisses off over half of X and every single admiral in the US Navy.

And yet nobody is funnier than NYPD family. Ya’ll have no idea how much we laugh while arguing.

So now you know why I married a liberal 😜

[Zeek Arkham 🇺🇸 @ZeekArkham]

I’m retired, sir. However, I did 20 years in the NYPD.

As you can see by my video, I’m black. This kinda nullifies any racism insinuations you’re making. I mean, you could still make them, but don’t act surprised when they’re calling you a retard under their breath.

Yes, I called the savages jumping this cop a bunch of pack animals. I think it’s funny how you’re angrier at me for calling them that, than you are at bad behavior from these kids. Are you worried about their feelings? Do you want to give them hugs? Maybe throw them a pizza party if they don’t jump anyone for a week? I don’t get your reasoning. Then again, I’m not a low IQ dumbass that’s naming himself after another low IQ dumbass. Then again, you just tried to call a black man racist against *squints at your post* other black folks.

Do better.

@phlegminglib Funny I thought Mao’s soldiers invaded Vietnam after we left and got their asses handed to them

[John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad]

@GeromanAT Ackshually the south Vietnamese lost after we left

@StinkStrype It slows it down a little but not by much.

@JGGPLSKN Good thing for me then that I’m not a facist

[John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad]

My Mayflower-descended, Protestant, liberal, Navy civilian-turned-preacher grandfather and my blue-collar, Catholic, conservative USAF combat veteran dad, the grandson of an immigrant, only ever agreed on 3 things:

My Mom is awesome
Christ is King
Communists will burn in hell
