No Video Game

The war against the Islamic Republic is no joke. It is real and deadly. The victory against the mad mullahs was never assured, nor if it happens, will it be easy or without cost in blood and treasure. Evil-doers Iran and Red China share a land border, and aggressor state Russia and the Ayatollah enterprise are just a short distance across the Caspian Sea, and these malign entities supply each other and share intelligence against the United States and Israel. Iran has a source of replacement manpower with the Shiite militias and terrorist groups they have backed primarily in Iraq but also potentially from Lebanon. Those opposing the End Time religious fanatics face a multi-headed hydra of dark forces from different places that are difficult to counter much less destroy. It is quite possible that the American planes that were shot down were facing weapons systems that were not even in Iran at the start of the conflict and that hands in Beijing and Moscow are helping direct the defense of the Islamic Republic. 

Out of Virgins

So many jihadists have been killed since October 7. 2023 that there are not enough virgins for seventy-two per martyr. Women will just hae to start being chaste again before they die, or perhaps some of the fallen fighters will be content to do what they did when they were alive and some goats and sheep provided for their sepulchral pleasures. 

Bye Bye Bondi

Donald Trump (justifiably) wanted some scalps from those who tried to bag him, his associates, and family members. His Attorney General failed to deliver. The DemocRATS, when in power, do as they wish, not constrained by decency or bound by morality or even law really (novel legal concepts) and unhinged from reality (woman with penis). That is why that anti-American party must never hold the reins of power again or at least until more DemocRATS are like John Fetterman with a bit of normal values and at least a modicum of common sense. 

One Way Alliance

When Europe cried our, "save us from Hitler", sixteen million Americans swelled the ranks to come to their aid. When our Western European friends implored the United States to protect them from Stalin, we obliged. When the Soviet Union menaced free Europe for decades, America spent billions in their defense, but when we are ridding the world of the greatest sponsor of international terrorism and ensuring that End-Time fanatics do not gain nuclear weapons, our formerly needy friends tell Washington, America is on its own. Well, they miscalculated, because Trump has made us a net exporter of oil, and we do not require petroleum from the Middle East to thrive, but Western Europe does. Leave it to those weaklings, most of whom are only now bearing the cost burden of their own defense because they shirked it during the Cold War and really only started to pay up during Trump's first term when he forced them to honor their contribution commitments, except for worthless Spain that still has not done that. Let the other NATO countries clear the Strait of Hormuz because they are the ones who need the Persian Gulf fuel to power their continent. 

The Overrated Conference

I was raised in Southeastern Conference country but must admit that in the men's money sports the SEC has fallen. In no way is it the dominant league in football or men's basketball. The Big Ten is the football powerhouse and may be about to prove that it is number one in B-ball as well. The world has turned and landed on our Southern gladiators. 

For the Ages

The University of Connecticut men's basketball team staged a comeback that culminated in a miracle victory over the Duke Blue Devils. I believe the first and only time UConn led was with four tenths of a second remaining in the contest on a thirty-five foot three pointer by a freshman. I do not know if there is such a thing as a team of destiny, but if there is, it seems to be the Connecticut squad this season. 

The Useful Idiots

There were orchestrated "No Kings" protests across America and a few abroad yesterday. These were obviously a coordinated effort aimed against not only Trump but against our capitalist way of life. The demonstrators may have thought they had their own reasons for being there but whatever those were, they were actually serving the interests of the enemies of the United States. Some characterize the demonstrators as "useful idiots", but I would question just how useful they are. They are instigators and agitators and disaffected losers. They really abhor our President but more than that our free enterprise system and much of our Constitution itself.
