I feel the need to explain this. Why Iran still has capability.

I’ll answer the initial question with a question: Do you think you can crush an enemy’s ability to mass combat power even though they can still retain some isolated/dispersed capability elsewhere?

The answer should be yes.

In GWOT we dealt with this. There was no doubt the U.S. military had overt control of the battle space. Where we went, we won.

But we still dealt with asymmetric threats. And that’s what you’re seeing now, albeit at the strategic scale.

GWOT vets will remember the 107mm rocket barrages. They happened frequently. We played whack a mole trying to prevent them from launching but they were crafty.

The rockets were designed to harass, and they did.

Did they cause mass casualties? No. Did they get a few of us? Yes. Did the enemy control the field as a result of these attacks? Absolutely not.

War is complicated yet simple. Iran has been a pain in the ass like this for a long time. You are not dealing with a rational state actor. They are religious fundamentalists who don’t care about a centralized chain of command.

If the Ayatollah says “ceasefire”, some zealot can easily say “yea don’t care, FIRE.”

They have no ability to mass meaningful combat power. They can only harass with the missiles and launchers they’ve been stockpiling for generations. And every one they exposed, almost certainly gets deleted by CENTCOM.

This is the dance we do with these evil people. The problem is America has to be exceptional everywhere all of the time.

A terrorist only needs to be successful in one place a portion of the time.

Iran is doomed. Mistaking harassing ballistic missile fire for meaningful offensive capability is foolish.

And for every hair harmed on an American head, the cost visited upon the whole of Iran will become too costly to bear.

There is no universe where they succeed. Unless you are an enjoyer of Marxist media like The Washington Post or The Atlantic. Where they cheer for the Ayatollah like he’s David versus Goliath.

Pure copium.

In Canada, a local man caught immigrants dumping old couches in the forest right by his house. He tailed them, forced them to pick everything up, and escorted them straight to the landfill.

This is the reality of importing Third World behaviors into a First World country.

1 in 5 college students now reads at the level of a ten-year-old.

Then college takes $150,000 to teach them systemic oppression from a 29-year-old adjunct who lives in a Kia.

This clown-show costs you over a trillion dollars.

🚨Wow! A man and his family go to a Morgan Wallen concert and some guy relieved himself on them😱

—Naturally he calls the police, but when they arrive they tell him they cannot arrest this man due to Maryland laws.

—He says, “so a man can pull out his____urinate on me, my brother and my niece and there’s nothing you can do?”

— instead of arresting the perpetrator, the police gave his info to the victim saying he could file a report later or press charges.

Really, is this where we are at?
Is there nothing these police officers could’ve done?

If you were alive in 1863, most of you would’ve come unglued at Grant when he ran the guns at Vicksburg.

You descended from dangerous men.

Honestly, I don’t know why Caitlin Clark bothers at all.

Billy Bob Thornton says a Hollywood party conversation made him realize he was truly an outsider in Los Angeles.

A woman found out he was from Arkansas and asked, completely straight faced:

“What do you people do down there?”

“Billy Bob Thornton: ...But she said it was fascinating to me, and she goes, "And you came out here from, what is it, Alabama or something like that?" And I said, "Arkansas." She goes, "Arkansas." And with a straight face, said to me, "What do you people do down there?"
(Joe Rogan cracks up laughing)
Billy Bob Thornton: I was like, "Well..." (Joe Rogan continues laughing) ...and I said, thinking she would get the joke, I said, "Uh, we mostly lay around on the porch with our hound dog and swat flies." She goes, "Oh, interesting, interesting."
(Joe Rogan cracks up laughing)
Billy Bob Thornton: It's like, babe, I was... I was fucking with you there. Uh, and, uh... but that was one of the moments where I realized that I really was an outsider out there, you know? And people ask me about my longevity in this business, and I always say it's because I stay out of it.”

Remembering Benno, a total stud!

Benno was a Belgian Malinois who served as a Ranger K9 with 1/75 in Afghanistan. During his service, Benno gained a reputation for aggression on target and fierce loyalty to his human counterparts.

Unfortunately, Benno was killed in action on April 27, 2012, making the ultimate sacrifice.

This couple went on a date night in Scottsdale Arizona. They went to a restaurant, and then went to a club afterwards. while standing in line to get into the club two Hispanic women walk up to them telling the wife that they can’t get in, and asking her if she spoke Spanish. She replies I’m sorry I don’t.. they proceeded to grab her by her hair and throw her to the ground at which point her husband steps in and is trying to get them off of his wife while three other dudes come up and start beating the crap out of him. This is in front of a line full of people, and bouncers. Nobody stepped in to help them.
This shit has to stop or this country is going to be in full out Civil War!

“It is with the deepest sadness that I share that my husband, Eric Taylor, passed away peacefully on July 11, 2026, after an incredibly courageous battle with stage IV undifferentiated pleomorphic Sarcoma cancer.🕊️

There are no words to capture the depth of this loss. Eric was a devoted husband, an amazing father, a proud Marine, and someone who loved fiercely and lived with quiet strength. Even in the hardest moments, he continued to think of others before himself.

To everyone who prayed for us, brought food, sent messages, visited, donated, or simply held us in your thoughts—thank you. Your kindness carried us through some of the darkest days of our lives, and we will never forget it.

As we begin to navigate this unimaginable loss, I ask for continued prayers for our family, especially for our children, as they learn to live in a world without their dad.

Eric’s love will remain with us always. We will honor him by sharing his stories, living by his example, and carrying him with us in everything we do.

Rest peacefully, my love. Until we meet again.”

This is one of the most important moments ever aired on CNBC.

Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya says the media lied to millions of Americans about President Trump, and that after going back to the original source material, he realized he had been completely misled about Trump’s character.

PALIHAPITIYA: “The reality is that most of us were lied to by the media about President Trump.”

“And if you just go back to the source material, you should take away two things.”

“One, he didn’t say half the things he said, and two, why did these other people just fabricate what they wanted to say so that they could essentially assassinate his character?”

“I think that that second thing is completely unacceptable in America, and there’s still been no repercussions, really.”

“I took the time to learn about it. I admitted where…you know, the way that I met him was, I admitted on the pod, which, you know, has millions of viewers.”

“And I said, I got it totally wrong because I went and I watched Charlottesville.”

“And, you know, the first person to call me? President Trump.”

“And I got to know him and I put the phone down, I called my wife, and I said, we got it TOTALLY, totally wrong. We were lied to.”

“And then I got to know him and he is fantastic!”

Ro Khanna knowingly backed a Nazi rapist and then to call attention away from his misdeed he personally invaded the sovereignty of a close American ally for a Jussie Smollet-style publicity stunt.

Ro Khanna should resign from Congress.

I had the honor of being the first person to read The Zizians. I could not put it down from the first page.

It is much more than a true crime book about transgender antifa. It is the story of a serial killing ring that went unpunished for years... and may still be ongoing.

The reason it went unpunished (and still is largely unpunished) is because solving it means indicting the institutions that let it happen. Judicial. Educational. News media. Big Tech. Activist networks. Effective altruism.

At every level, the system chose not to see what was in front of it... because seeing it meant seeing themselves.

Andy Ngo risked his life to uncover this story. Once he found it, he could not stop until it was told.

Preorder it.
