As Hegseth forges ahead with is plan to turn the entire US military into a testosterone-hyped, mindless version of the Mojo Dojo Casa House from the Barbie movie, a genuine military professional, veteran, and wounded war hero reminds us what is really needed to sustain the world's best military.

Trump’s Taxpayer-Funded Self-Promotion Just Backfired

An ad promoting the Iran War only serves to remind voters just how much of a disaster the war is, a baffling strategy just a month out from midterms.

1 in 5 Americans who voted for Trump in 2024 now regret their choice. His approval just hit a new low: 33%. Affordability. Iran. Corruption. Take your pick. Buyer's remorse is a start. Voting is the cure. 32 days.

That so-called mainstream outlets see the bigoted ghouls at The Manhattan Institute as worthy of interviews and profiles (rather than derision, scorn, and exile) is evidence of their debasement and an indictment of the mainstream.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."
