Looking at wicked problems and their solutions

[Jawwwn @jawwwn_]

.@PalmerLuckey says Anduril’s first prototype, a firefighting tank, now sits under a tarp because unions shut it down:

“It could carry several tons of fire retardant and be used to protect critical infrastructure.”

“We built two fully working prototypes.”

“There were really strong unions that didn’t want robots to automate their jobs.”

“The governor was told if they funded this and procured it, the union would oppose him in the upcoming election.”

[Northern Barbarian @xnoesbueno]

More unqualified frat boys then.

Putting the warfighting back in the War Department.

(Dead name DoD, for Department of DEI. He transitioned it. Because the upper echelon of our military just like the rest of our government was burdened with unimaginative careerist hacks who would salute any flag that was run up the pole, including the trans one.)

While you’re at it, is there another crazy orange New York real estate developer/casino mogul turned reality TV host out there?

More erudite hillbillies, please.

United States Secretary of Memes. Nobody memes like that guy. Or cuts to the chase, and cuts to the bone like that guy. Little Marco is a big man.

Renegade Kennedy, off the compound, carries around a cooler full of sauerkraut and blows up our corrupt public health hackerama. A little wack on the vax, but OK. They haven’t proved him wrong.

The richest man in the history of humanity, South African immigrant/innovative genius and also fakking hilarious, stole the show with his cameo. In a job made up just for him. Him and Big Balls. Too bad he isn’t still in there with his blowtorch, but he had other things to do. Somebody’s got to catch rockets with chopsticks, go to Mars.

Someday, maybe a century from now, sufficiently removed from all the TDS, if western civilization still exists, a historian will write the definitive history of this remarkable and accomplished cabinet, unlike any seen before.

Exactly the one we needed to blow up that wretched status quo we thought we were just stuck with.

You were branched as a Finance officer and later became a public affairs officer.

In the Reserves.

Your highest award is a DMSM.

Look, as a career logistics officer myself I always preach one team, one fight, but not when someone like you--who is supported by the cretinous, Soros-funded, "VoteVets"--crawls out of the Deep State slime to smear actual combat veterans like Hegseth.

Pete Hegseth's pinky finger knows more about leading troops in wartime than your DSA sell-out brain will ever comprehend, and the closest your pinky ever got to heroism is a paper cut.

So how about you put a sock in it, you DEI-installed, Commie faux-general?

Beat it.

[InfantryDort @infantrydort]

According to failed General Mark Hertling, "it's not clear why" the Pentagon has decided to test senior officers. I could end this post there and have the internet tell it how it is. But I'm not. I actually read this rag of an article.

My response to Hertling (who blocks me but he will see this) is that let's talk about YOU. Since you've dedicated oh so much time making it political about Hegseth and Scheller.

Mark Hertling has:
>publicly announced “I consider myself woke,” opposed rolling back DEI and transgender accession policy, and called Hegseth’s DEI critique “insulting” to the force
>lectures that the military must stay apolitical while writing a steady stream of partisan attacks on the sitting Secretary and defending Mark Kelly’s political video as professional duty
>tripled down on every failed policy of GWOT like mOnEy aS A wEaPoN sYsTeM
>removed the bayonet from Army basic training as DCG for Initial Military Training, then acted shocked that old infantrymen objected
>cut .50 cal familiarization and convoy live fire from BCT in the same “we teach too much stuff” overhaul
>commanded MND North in 2007–08, sold a “historic turnaround,” and watched that same ground become the spine of the ISIS caliphate six years later
>wrote in April 2021 that Biden “made the right call” on Afghanistan, then spent 2026 treating Stu Scheller as too stained to design a promotion screen
>built his late career brand on Soldier Athlete and PT reform, then framed “fat generals” talk as crude culture war the moment someone else said it

TLDR on his article but know this: he firmly states nothing is wrong with the old system. He said that. He literally said those words. Totally cool. Zero to refine in the promotion process.

You know what problem we are trying to solve, General? You.

You are the problem we are trying to solve. Because you can't fight yourself out of a wet paper bag yet somehow think you're the greatest gift to the military since Napoleon. If Napoleon thought men could get pregnant.

Keep hammering away on your partisan rag. If anything, you've given America that much more of a glimpse into why testing future generals and admirals is necessary.

So they don't become.... you.

[Ricky Vaughn @dvigilrpg]

Big fucking deal.

Your rank means nothing.

You have never had a shot fired at you, nor have you ever fired a shot in combat.

Just a clown who DEIed a rank.

INSANE: Meet Tis D'Ascoffon, a French woman who was subjected to sexual violence by a Muslim immigrant who stalked her to her apartment, locked her inside, and attempted to rape her.

Two years later, she gave an interview to French television, recounted the rape attempt, and stated that the main danger to women in Europe comes from "immigrants, black people, and Arabs."

Left-wing forces were outraged and filed a complaint against her for racism. She was charged, brought to trial, and several weeks ago a court in Paris found her guilty and fined her 1,000 euros for her words.

Read that again:
A woman who was subjected to sexual violence by an immigrant ends up in court years later for speaking the truth about sexual violence against women in Europe.

Europe is on a path to self-destruction.

“That’s it. This is where I die. Right here, exactly where I’m standing now.”
​On the morning of October 7th, Lieutenant Colonel Or Ben Yehuda, Commander of the Caracal Battalion, looked up to see a nightmare unfolding: hundreds of terrorists charging over sand dunes in pickup trucks and motorcycles. Behind her stood just 12 of her fighters. Outnumbered, outgunned, and staring directly into the abyss.
​Most people would freeze. Or Ben Yehuda turned to her soldiers, looked death in the face, and smiled.
​“Come on, let’s tear them apart.”
​What followed was hours of pure, relentless valor. Firing until the barrels burned. Taking out trucks with anti-tank missiles. Killing a terrorist leaping at her from point-blank range with a split-second trigger pull. Guiding a lone tank with hand signals through thick smoke, coordinating rescue choppers under fire, and shielding the kibbutzim behind them with nothing but pure grit and unyielding willpower.
​When the smoke finally settled, she walked slowly down the line of fallen soldiers—angels and lions who gave everything so others could live—gently stroking their faces, whispering apologies, and softly closing their eyes.
​Between an overwhelming horde of terror and thousands of sleeping civilians stood twelve fighters led by a woman who refused to yield an inch of ground.
​Remember this face. Remember this name.
Lieutenant Colonel Or Ben Yehuda. A warrior who looked into the dark and answered it with fire.

You are now trending for 14 days straight because you still haven't done anything to hold your racist professor accountable, @CarnegieMellon.

You are not going to sweep it under the rug again.

She needs to go, now.

”I hate men” tattoo. This is in Ukraine btw. Kiev based female tattoo artist says she is happy to do misandrist tattoos. Imagine some 19 year old Ukrainian male soldier sees this. This is what you are fighting for Ukrainian men! Ungrateful feminist hags who hate you! You give your life for countrywomen who hate you while they ungratefully enjoy the comfort and safety you fight to provide! Traitors! How demoralizing.

Under Ukrainian martial law, actions that demoralize or undermine the armed forces are treated as severe national security threats and are strictly criminalized. @ZelenskyyUa you should consider charging these 2 vile scum. At the very least rescind this woman’s license to tattoo. Or maybe draft these 2 muppets and send them to the frontline!

@haymes_joshua It's an old story, but guess how it was reported

[Joshua Haymes @haymes_joshua]

A black teenager beat a 9 year old white girl nearly to death.

Gets off with a “stern warning.”

I wonder what would have happened had a white teenager beat a black 9 years old girl?

Until we start throwing these monsters in prison for decades it’s only going to get worse.

[Stephen Moore @StephenMoore]

Working-age men have LOST jobs, while women have captured virtually 100% of the net new jobs.

Men not working translates into men not marrying, which translates into population rapidly falling and American power declining.

Are we in a man-cession?
