“It’s ok, you can just rebuild.” “At least not that many people died.” These are the things people say to try to make it better. The truth is, Pacific Palisades will never be the same after the deadly January 2025 wildfires that destroyed entire neighborhoods this past week. The latest official update says as many as 10,000 structures have been destroyed in the Palisades Fire, which is expected to be the costliest in U.S. history. Pacific Palisades, the small ocean community wedged between Santa Monica to the south and Malibu to the north, is a little slice of heaven. Our...

Making the Department of Defense great again starts with making the habit of trading senior military honors for dollars shameful.Amid the Democrat senatorial clown show of Tuesday’s secretary of defense confirmation hearings, one confrontation between Pete Hegseth and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., resonated particularly strongly with me as a retired Army officer. It was when Warren challenged Hegseth with his past writings that “generals should be banned from working for the defense industry for 10 years.” Warren tried to put Hegseth in a twist by asserting that he would not follow his own rule, but Hegseth defused the situation masterfully...

Position Paper: A Fundamentally Reformed Tax System: Shifting Federal Revenue Generation to State-Collected Business Taxes Executive Summary: This paper proposes a fundamental reform of the United States tax system, shifting the responsibility for generating federal revenue entirely to businesses through taxes collected at the state level. Under this system, the federal government would determine each state's total business revenue and levy a flat percentage tax on that amount. States would then have complete autonomy in designing their own business tax systems to collect these funds, eliminating the need for federal corporate or individual income taxes. This proposal aims to simplify...

The Pentagon inspector general says the handling of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's hospitalization last year increased national security threats but acknowledged the matter did not result in any such breech. "Although we found no adverse consequences to Defense Department operations arising from how the hospitalizations we reviewed were handled, the risks to our national defense, including the command and control of the Defense Department's critical national security operations, were increased unnecessarily," Inspector General Robert Storch said, according to a CBS News report Wednesday.Austin was reportedly diagnosed with prostate cancer in early-December 2023, had the surgery Dec. 22, started having severe...

The PUBG Ally is the same asinine experience of playing co-op with a bot, except this one always talks back to you in complete sentences. Krafton also uses Nvidia’s tech to craft inZOI, a Sims-type life simulator that puts chatbots in characters’ heads. Despite the AI supposedly planning and making life choices for the in-game characters, it still looked like a dull version of The Sims, lacking most of the charm of those games. I see the vision; it’s just not there yet. ... However, the real star was a talking mannequin head sitting like a gargoyle on your home...

CNN’s conservative commentator Scott Jennings gloated over defense secretary designee Pete Hegseth’s performance under a barrage of Democratic slings and arrows during his confirmation hearing Tuesday. “In short, I think Pete Hegseth kicked their asses today.

VIDEO The very same Jamie Mannina who worked for the JCS at the Pentagon and as an FBI agent and recently exposed by James O'Keefe as part of his O'Keefe Media Group investigation was amazingly busted by DC Predator in 2021 as you can see here. They called him "Jamie" and his facial features most definitely line up with Mannina's. Also a voice match. The big question now is why did the Pentagon hire him with his known pedo background? Ditto the FBI.
